Yes, this is one of the risks to consider. Overall, the pets-to-be-rent will be mine, me their owner, and i'll name them. I will make sure they like to hang out with others before i rent them to others. Maybe only 3~4 of them will serve in the pet rental service. I will not rent young pups out to others because of risk of bonding and disease infection.

As mentioned, pet rental is a hit on US, Japan, and Taiwan. I still have so much to learn from them if the service were to be a success.

However, there are other risks too. It is not easy task to open a petshop, let alone pet rental service. Not only the owners have to go through certain stages, the pets too, have stages to go through.

Thanks for the advice.
