Pet Supplies for Dog Walkers

A lot of people don't have much time to walk their dogs. You might be surprised at how many people would be willing to pay you to walk their dog for them. Starting your own dog walking business could be a profitable venture for and here is some info you'll want to consider as well as some info about pet supplies you might consider buying.

Dog walkers can make a per-walk fee or a regularly agreed-to fee for dog walking services. Because dogs need regular exercise and so many dog owners have busy lifestyles, they may be more than willing to have you do the walking for them. It benefits their pet's health and results in a more relaxed animal.

Pet Supplies for A Dog Walker

You'll want an ample number of leashes in varying sizes and styles. You may also want leads, harnesses, and / or muzzles.  Owners may have a leash already but if you're walking multiple canines you might have preferred styles that suit you better.

Portable Water Dishes

If taking a long walk, you may consider bringing collapsible dog bowls and bottled water.

Treats

Dog treats can be a great reward for good behaviour, can help you bond with clients' canines, and can help you train a dog for obedience on the leash.

Scooping Supplies

You'll want to be adequately prepared in case your charge has to do any personal business on a walk. You can buy small bags to make clean up whilst on the go a snap.

Other Business Ideas

Beyond walking dogs in your neighbourhood, you might opt to do a pet sitting business as well for people who are away all day or for extended periods of time.

You might also consider getting experience and training with pet grooming so that you can offer that as an additional service as well. You can find a number of pet supplies for grooming dogs and cats.

People love pampering their pets. Our animals really do become part of our family. If you have a love for animals you can absolutely turn that love into a part time or even full time income for yourself. Some training, a knack with pets, general love for animals, and the right pet supplies can help you substantially with a business venture.

I Want To Be A Dog Walker

Do you need a permit to be a dog walker at sixteen?

I want to make some extra money, and I love dogs, so I thought being a dog walker would be a great way. I live in California, and Im sixteen. Would I need any sort of permit in order to be a dog walker? Also, how much would I charge the owner?



you do not need a permit ... i have been walking dogs since 2004 and i have no license or permit ... i do have doggie first aid which was a weekend course through the red cross ... to find out how much to charge, go to your local pet services section of craigslist and see what people are charging ... i would charge just a bit less because you are only 16 ... have fun :O)
