Ideas for Animal Careers and Pet Businesses of All Sorts!

Animal careers involve more than just becoming a vet, or buying a pet food store. We've already determined that the demand is there for pet products and services. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination and work ethic of people who love pets (or love making money!)

The list below should spark some other animal career or pet business ideas. Detail on these will be added as the site develops, so check back often!

I have grouped a wide variety of pet-related animal careers and businesses into the following categories — many businesses would fit in more than one of them.

Note, too, that some animal businesses could easily complement each other - someone who does pet sitting might also bake dog treats or sell pet supplies. And many careers oriented to one type of animal (say, a dog) could also be oriented to another type of animal (such as a cat!)

And some of these animal careers can be done using various business models; for example, pet food delivery services operate on a pet franchise model as well as a home business model.
