As a veterinarian, after a short time working, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nhi (residing in Hung Thanh ward, Cai Rang, Can Tho) decided to open her own pet care and accommodation facility. Nhi's pet hotel is currently one of the very few animal hotels in Can Tho.

The young girl's startup idea is to stop at basic health care for animals. On the contrary, Nhi invests more in beauty care services and pet accommodation.
"Since I was a child, I have loved animals. I have had a dog for more than 10 years. It came with me from the countryside to the city to study, and then followed me to my husband's house. I no longer consider cats and dogs as animals, but as my siblings.
Before, every time I had to go far away, it was very difficult for me to find a place to leave my children. From my own needs, I had the idea of opening a hotel for dogs and cats. The criteria is to love the guests' pets as if they were my own," Nhi shared.
The hotel has more than 20 rooms but is always fully booked during holidays (Photo: Nguyen Cuong).
Nhi said that initially, with only a few tens of millions of dong, she asked her parents to renovate the living room, buy 15 cages and basic equipment to operate. Up to now, Nhi's pet boarding facility has been operating stably for more than 10 months, with an increasing number of customers, mainly from referrals from regular customers.
"Up to now, I have more than 20 cages, but on weekends and holidays, there is still a lack of space. The total investment up to now is about more than 200 million VND.
After deducting expenses, I save about 20 million VND each month, and during Tet, I can double that. With the money I save, I invest in buying equipment such as air conditioners, exhaust fans, ventilation fans, misting machines, heaters, etc. to complete the service," Tuyet Nhi said.

9X Tay Do said that choosing a wooden cage with glass doors is more expensive and harder to clean than a mesh cage. But in return, pets live in a clean environment, limiting diseases and avoiding spreading diseases to each other.
Every morning, Nhi starts her day by cleaning and disinfecting the cages, checking their health, and feeding them breakfast. During the rest of the day, the young girl is busy bathing, deep cleaning, and trimming the fur and nails of dogs and cats.

Pets are fed three meals a day with grain or pate. Pets with special needs are fed appropriate food. At the end of the day, the cages are cleaned and disinfected again, and pets are checked for health before going to bed.
"There are pets that are not used to being well taken care of, so when I touch them, they react badly. I get scratches on my hands every day, so I have to get them vaccinated regularly.
"For the special and difficult pets, I have to work harder, but I love them more. This job gives me income and allows me to live with my passion, so I feel very happy," Nhi said.
With good income and a steady increase in customers, the young woman plans to open another branch this year (Photo: Nguyen Cuong).
With good income and increasing number of customers, Nhi plans to increase the number of cages at the current facility and open a new facility this year.
