A New Standard of Care

If you could make more revenue using the same space, the same staff and the same number of dogs you have now would you do it?  Of course you would!  What if I also told you that making more revenue is also healthier for the dogs and safer for everyone at your facility?  What if I also said by making some changes you could easily set yourself apart from the basic daycares in your community. Sound too good to be true?  Keep reading to find out how to transition your daycare to a new standard of care.

As the daycare industry has grown, many facilities, families, and franchises have adopted the daycare service model that includes all day play for dogs.  What was once a unique activity for dogs is now something that is offered everywhere.  It’s hard to compete anymore and the competition for daycare dollars is as high as ever. DogVacay, one of the leading online services matching people and pet sitters, recently started advertising dog daycare. Not only are you now competing with other brick and mortar facilities, you are also competing with DogVacay’s over 20,000 pet sitters across the US and Canada who care for dogs in their homes.

It’s time to get ahead of this trend and we’re here to help.  This month, we’re going to spend each week talking about a new model for dog daycare that will allow you to be more profitable without significantly increasing the size of your facility or your staff.  We’ll show you how to begin implementing a new standard of care which will set you apart from your competition, keep the dogs healthier, and bring in more revenue.

Our new recommended model of daycare incorporates the following elements:

• Smaller playgroups that allow for a higher quality of play for shorter periods of time
• More rest breaks for the dogs which allows them to get the quality rest they need to be emotionally healthy
• Individual activities/play sessions based on the dog’s needs and desires
• No need to significantly increase your staff
• No need to increase your play area space
• A unique model of daycare that allows you to better market your value to the community
• Flexibility to keep your current structure of daycare in place while adding the new model on as a VIP model of care for your clients
• An increase in revenue!

We’ll take a look at all of these factors this month!  Check back next week to find out how this will work financially to increase your revenue!
