How do I show a buyer my dog daycare’s vaccination and temperament screening process?

Write the process out as steps, then show it in use. Provide the intake form, the vaccination check, the temperament test notes, and examples of dogs accepted and declined, with owner details removed. Buyers care about this because one incident can harm reputation quickly.

Begin with a one-page description of how a new dog is admitted. Cover the paperwork asked of owners, who checks it, how a trial visit works and what staff watch for. Keep the language simple so a stranger can follow it.

Then back it up. Show blank forms and a few completed ones with names removed. Keep notes on how staff assess each dog’s play and stress signs, and show examples of dogs who were not accepted and why. This proves the process is real and not decoration.

Show how it stays current. Describe how often records are rechecked, how expired proof is handled and how staff are trained to do it. Let the buyer watch a screening if clients agree. Share any incident log and what you changed afterward. Be open about it. Your insurer and lawyer can help confirm the process is documented properly, and you can include it in the sale information. Be ready to explain how staff are trained to spot stress and how they handle a dog who does not fit. Offer to introduce the buyer to the staff who run intake, since their habits are part of the process. A process that lives only in the owner’s head is hard to pass on.

Key takeaways

  • Write the screening steps on a single page.
  • Show real forms and notes with personal details removed.
  • Share incident records and what changed afterward.
