I bought this with a view to purchasing a local kennel which was on the market,but as an ex veterinary nurse it didn't tell me anything new about the day to day practicalities of running a boarding establishment.However there was a great deal of extremely useful information about other factors ,such as working out potential profits and the role of organisations such as RSPCA which I found very informative.Incidentally,using the formula provided for determining whether the kennel would be profitable meant we didn't proceed with the purchase-I would have dropped about £10,000 in salary from working 15h/wk in the NHS to working 7d/wk for myself!
