Start a Kennel or Dog Day Care Business - Business Ethics

September 6th, 2008

Pet Care Business Consultants LLC - We’ve been Specialists in Kennel and Dog Day Care Business Consulting since 1999. 

Pet Care Business Consulting LLC, founded as a solutions-based Pet Care Service Business Consulting company that specializes in developing pet kennels and dog day care businesses .  We want to help you open up and run your business successfully while adhering to sound business practices. Whether you own a Pet Care Services Business already  or you have a passion for owning a stand alone kennel, dog daycare facility,  or  a combination pet  boarding kennel with dog day care business with grooming , retail, training and more, we can help you.  

 

Code of Ethics and Integrity- We pledge to give you a realistic and reasonable quote for the services you would like us to provide for helping you develop your project.  We’re quite affordable and we take our responsibilities very  seriously.  

 

There’s a very disrurbing trend developing in the Pet Care Servcies Industry and you should know about as it may  impact the development of your Kennel or Dog Day Care.   Some Consultants, Vendors, and Manufacurers engage  in  paying and receiving referral fees for recommending their clients to their cronies.  In our opinion, this is a polite way of saying these businesses pay lucarative Kickbacks for getting business. It’s our opinion that this business practice is predatory and unscrupulous, smacks in the face of ethical business practices, and ultimately drives up the cost of developing a Pet Care Service Business.   

 

 We don’t take referral  kickbacks from architects, bankers, builders, vendors, or any manufacturer for recommending our clients to them.   We’ve been  offered and we’ve refused huge referral commissions totaling tens of thousands of dollars from Architects, Bankers, Builders, Kennel Enclosure manufacturers and many other Pet Care Business vendors and suppliers.  Let’s look at the added cost of these kickback schemes.   Referral fees vary but can be 1 to 3 per cent of  the total loan values from some bankers, several per cent from some builders,  and 2 to 3 per cent from some product manufacturers.  These referral fees alone can generate tens of thousands of dollars for consultants willing to accept referral fees.  And you’re the one footing the bill. We think this business practice is OUTRAGEOUS  !!!!  We don’t think you should have to pay  hidden fees in a roundabout manner for a consultant simply referring your business to a Pet Care  Product and Service vendor, supplier,  and/or  manufacturer.    Before you hire any consultant, we suggest  you obtain a signed disclosure of referral fee arrangements they may have with vendors and suppliers specifically outlining the fees they receive if you contract with any of the vendors or suppliers they recommend.   

 

Better yet, we believe you should have your legal representative prepare an affidavit prohibiting consultants from receiving  kickbacks for referrals from Architects, Builders, Bankers, Graphic Designers,  Kennel enclosure manufacturers and other supplier or vendor.  Similarly,  it may be prudent to have a reciprocal  agreement precluding  any supplier or  manufacturers from paying referral fees. You may be quite surprised to see what  real consulting fees are after you factor in the hidden referral fee kickbacks.  Finally, require your Pet Care Business Consultant and/or product and service suppliers to adhere to the Code of Ethics of The Pet Care Consultants and Vendors Association which prohibits referral fees and kickbacks.
