User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Non-receipt of item
I can’t give the book an honest review. After more than 15 business days, I still have not received it. The vendor did say that if I never receive it, they will refund my money.

3 Stars Eh
Not what I expected. A bit too simplified and it seemed as if the authors were attempting to include too many topics regarding owning a business all in one shot here.

3 Stars Not sure what I was expecting but this wasn’t it
I am not sure what I was expecting but this certainly wasn’t it. Initially I was a little disappointed but I think I probably had a set business in mind and wanted to know how to do it, which this book doesn’t do, at least not in the way I wanted.

This is an IDEAS Book, which does have some good ideas that I must admit I would never have thought of and I actually work in the pet related industry.

5 Stars Businesses for pet lovers
101 Best Businesses for Pet Lovers What You Need to Know about Starting and Succeeding in a Pet Business of Your Own is a great reference for anyone who loves pets and is thinking about turning that qualification into a means for making money.

The money spent on pets has more than doubled since 1994, creating a multi-billion-dollar industry that is even more lucrative than the human toy industry. 101 Best Businesses for Pet Lovers lists a wide variety of moneymaking opportunities from something as simple as dog walking, to careers which require education and training such as pet grooming and pet masseuse.

Authors Joseph Nigro and Nicholas Nigro are well qualified to write about this subject. Joseph began his entrepreneurial career with pet shops which he was eventually able to sell to the Petco Company in 1996 for $19.1 million.

101 Best Businesses for Pet Lovers interested me on a personal level because I am one of those people who turned my love of animals into a business – Internet Pet Supplies – Internet Pet Supplies has been selling pet treats and pet supplies on the Internet since 1998. [...]

I would recommend this book, it is well researched, well written, and offers some very imaginative ways of making money.

5 Stars Catnip for the soul…
This book has a wealth of information and inspiration for those looking to supplement their incomes or who, whether by choice or due to the cruel apathy of corporate America, are obliged to switch careers.

Those who have fallen through the cracks — the downsized middle-aged, the disabled — and others who have hit a dead end on the road of life, can glean a few notions as to how to break the cycle of despair and not only survive, but thrive.

Oh, and it has some good ideas for animal lovers, too. ; )
