For expat owners of pets in Italy, focussing particularly on animal adoption with descriptions and contact details of some of Italy's many homeless cats and dogs, puppies and kittens.
If you aren’t
happy leaving your pets in local kennels or catteries in Italy and are looking for a career change
or a way to make a bit of money, then I have a suggestion for you. Why not start
a kennels or cattery yourself?
You need
adequate land and premises that will be suitable for conversion plus the
all-important permessi from your
local commune. This will entail having a talk with them to see what is permitted
in your area. Your local geometra should
be able to advise you on whether runninga small kennels or cattery will be allowed on your premises and how long
the necessary documentation is likely to take.
You’ll also
need to invest about €12,000 - €15,000 if you plan on setting up a luxury dog
or cat hotel. These are cutting edge design with rooms rather than cages and
are far less likely to be complained about because happy pets are quiet pets.
If you
think is something you’d like to do, then why not read a bit more about it? I
am delighted to offer free e-books for
the Pets in Italy website to download from the UK’s top kennel and cattery designers
Kay and David Key. The couple have been featured many times in the UK press and are at the very forefront
of the kennel and cattery design revolution. They were
the people behind the famous Canine Country Club in Devon, which is one of the most luxurious
kennels in the UK.
David has
been with the animal charity Blue Cross for 25 years and is the world’s leading
expert on kennel design. He has been involved in projects of all sizes from
veterinary hospitals to small rescue centres. He is the ‘expert’s expert’ and
is constantly asked to consult on design projects all over the globe.
Kay is the
IT expert and runs several successful websites, and a
hugely successful consultancy business. Her site www.boarding kennels.org
has just added dog owner reviews and this is open to international owners so
feel free to add your favourite Italian kennels and catteries as well as the
ones you would rather avoid!
I think it’s
about time the dog hotel and cat hotel revolution hit Italy. I haven’t had a holiday with Alan
since we moved here in 1994 because we had nowhere to leave the animals. Now if
there were a pet hotel in the area…
