The first step you have to take is to contact your local council or other dogs breeds and kennels in India (although perhaps not local) to ask what you will need. As well as that another person that might be able to help is your local vet, who might know a lot of things about pet dogs in India. Make sure you have all the suppliers first.
There are a lot of hidden items you need to properly run a dog kennel. Secondly you do need licensing and zoning depending on your area. If this is an already run dog kennel they may already have the necessary licenses to be transferred. Call around to some other dog breeds and kennels in India to see if they will help you out with some questions. Some kennels will be arrogant and see you as a threat; others will want to help because they understand you would be doing this with or without their help.
As the number of pet dogs in India is rising, so is the number of kennels ? that is why there are new rules and regulations for the kennels now like wiping down the walls; or no wooden kennels are allowed; there must be under floor heating, and so on. The environmental health and your local council will be able to help you more in this matter, but you should know what's ahead.
You should know how many dogs you will have - are you talking on a scale of boarding 20-30 dogs or more? As well as that, are you talking about building kennels from scratch or buying them? A piece of advice would be to buy them, as a lot of dogs breeds and kennels in India are not allowed to function anymore due to poor administration. Even if you are buying the kennels you have to make sure before anything that the kennels are bang up to date with today's legislation. If they are not you will be talking a lot of money to fetch them up to standard. You will also have to make sure that there are facilities with warm/hot water to wash dishes.
Pet dogs in India may not be that sensible, but you should still be aware of the legislation. For example kennels should not be made out of wood, but if they are they should be covered in galvanized sheeting. The kennels should also have a source of heating, weather it is a heated bulb in the dogs sleeping area, or full central heating in the kennel block if indoors. When all of the above is in order you will need an inspector to come and inspect the place and if nothing needs doing he or she will issue you with a license.
You will also need to know about animal welfare, and have a good general knowledge of caring for animals. Having dogs breeds and kennels in India is a very lucrative business to be in, but like anything it has its ups and downs. One of the down sides is that you're open seven days a week, all year and tied constantly; the ups are people having pets and being happy.
Apparently the love for our little friends knows no limits. As the dogs bring a smile in our life, no matter how hard it is, we are doing our best to improve the quality of their life, as well. Therefore I saw that now a new thing appeared, that is quite practical: portable dog kennels. The dog can enjoy the fresh air outside, or simply accompany you in a holiday while your lawn (if at home) doesn't get ruined by the constant running around of your dog.
However there are a few things you should consider before buying a portable dog kennel. The size of your dog. If you have a puppy you will want to get a smaller kennel this also goes for owners of small dogs. The kennel shouldn't be huge but it should be large enough for your dog to stand up, turn around, and lay down in without any problems. After all, the idea is to make him feel good to. Where you want to put the kennel. Most dog owners prefer to put the kennel in an area that is out of the way but still provides the dog interaction with household traffic.
Type of material the kennel is made out of. Portable dog kennels come in wire, nylon, or plastic. Some of the more elaborate kennels have bamboo or Rattan panels built onto a wire body for style. Take some time to consider your options before going out and purchasing the cheapest one you find or the one that you think looks the best. Remember that they will probably try to chew the material, and might break a tooth while doing it. So looks don't matter when buying a portable dog kennel. The safety of your dog is all that matters.
How much will you be using it? If you are only going to be using it in the house you might want to consider a larger wire model. However, if you want to use it for travel or if you will be putting it in a car then you might consider a nylon kennel that is easily folded down flat for transport and easier set up. You can get wire kennels that fold up and transport fairly easy but the nylon kennels are much better for this type of use. The last important thing that you should consider is your budget and how much would you be willing to spend.
