It’s the little things I find myself looking into a lot.
Operating a pet store isn’t just buying animals, putting them in enclosures, and selling them.
There is a lot more that goes into it behind the scenes.
One big thing is record keeping.
Very detailed records need to be kept for animals — what they are, where they came from, when they arrived, and who they eventually go home with.
So I created a Google Sheet to help me keep track of every animal that comes through Doc X Pet Shop.
Species.
Morph.
Source.
Date received.
Health information.
Enclosure location.
Sale status.
Customer information.
All of it.
I also made animal information cards to keep near the enclosures so I can quickly reference important details without having to dig through everything.
That way, if someone asks when an animal arrived, what morph it is, where it came from, or other basic information, I can have it right there.
And when the animal sells, I can keep that card and use it to update my records later.
Not the flashiest part of opening a pet store, but it matters.
Organization matters.
Accountability matters.
Doing things the right way matters.
Little details like this help me build the kind of store I want Doc X Pet Shop to be.
