text: i am looking for information on starting my own dog boarding/kennel business? i am not sure where to start on this. i want to have my own dog boarding/kennel business. i would appreciate any info on this subject.  i have plenty of room and am well educated about dogs and their care. i am in western michigan.  thanks you know i have no idea where to start but i bet its a great idea. however, i think you should start is somewhere there are alot of travelers by hotels.  most hotels do not allow pets.  so you can get some business from there.  ask your local vet or animal shelter if they know what you need.
