The Poodle to Pitbull Pet Business Podcast
Are you trying to push through the second half of the year on fumes? When was the last time you properly stepped away from the noise of your business? And could pressing pause actually be the thing that helps you move faster when you return? In this episode, I’m sharing a lesson from a recent week away in Menorca with Beth, where we did very little on purpose. No laptop, no emails, no social media, and no heroic “just checking in” nonsense. Just rest, reading, swimming, talking, and a proper reset after a very busy first half of the year. I explain why downtime is not a luxury, but...

Are you winging your accounts and hoping everything is in the right box? Do you know whether you should be a sole trader, limited company, or something else entirely?

Vicky works exclusively with pet businesses across the UK, helping groomers, walkers, trainers, boarders, daycare owners, and other pet professionals get their finances, bookkeeping, tax, and business structure properly sorted. We talk about the biggest...

Where do your best business ideas actually come from? Are you looking outside the pet industry often enough… or just recycling the same tired advice as everyone else? And could one strange book, old advert, or random story spark the next big idea in your business? In this episode, I’m sharing four business lessons from a secondhand bookstore in Boston. Before the first Dog Daycare Success Academy immersion event, Beth and I stumbled across Brattle Bookshop, and what was supposed to be a bit of sightseeing quickly turned into an hour of rummaging through dusty old books, picture books,...

Is your daycare safe, professional, certified… yet completely forgettable? Are you losing attention because your business looks and sounds like every other pet resort in town? And what would change if you stopped playing it safe and started making your business more interesting? In this episode, I’m asking a blunt but important question: is your dog daycare too boring? After recent Dog Daycare Success Academy trainings around goal setting, vision, and building more fun into your business, I’m digging into why fun, personality, entertainment, and experience matter more than most pet...

Are you creating content that actually moves people closer to buying… or just posting because someone told you to? What happens when you stop copying bland AI-generated slop and start showing the real personality, values, and story behind your business? And could one properly planned content system finally stop you staring at a blank screen wondering what to post? In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the latest Dog Daycare Success Academy immersion event at Lumley Castle, where the theme was Content in the Castle. You’ll hear from attendees who left with clear content...

Do you know your business needs to change… but keep putting off the big moves? What happens when you put ambitious dog daycare owners in a room and force them to think bigger? And could the right accountability finally push you to raise prices, set proper goals, and get serious about growth? In this episode, I’m sharing more behind-the-scenes audio from the first Dog Daycare Success Academy immersion event in Boston. You’ll hear directly from DDSA members as they talk about their biggest takeaways from the room — from dreaming bigger and setting clearer 90-day goals, to targeting more...

Why do so many dog daycare owners stay busy… but still feel broke? Why do some facilities make more money with fewer dogs than others? And what happens when you stop thinking like a warehouse and start thinking like a premium pet business owner? In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the very first Dog Daycare Success Academy immersion event in Boston — aka the “Boston Profit TEA Party.” See what I did there.... The theme was simple: Profit First. Profit Always. Profit Every Time. Over two days we deep dived into pricing psychology, money mindset, profit stacking,...

Are you giving your best clients the kind of experience that makes them stay, spend, and refer? What can Disney, Club 33, and world-class direct marketers teach you about premium pet care? And how do you build a daycare that doesn’t just supervise dogs — but removes worry from their owners’ lives? In this episode, I’m talking about two big lessons I picked up from Brian Kurtz and Barry Jacobson at a recent mastermind in Florida. Brian is one of the true legends of direct response marketing and the author of Overdeliver, while Barry spent decades helping Disney create VIP, luxury, and...

Are you creating content that actually attracts the right clients… or just posting because you feel you should? Do affluent dog owners really spend more on everything — or only on what matters to them? And how can your daycare become one of those things they see as worth paying premium prices for? In this episode, I’m joined by Steven Inala-Reedy from A Content Space, who’ll be the special guest at our upcoming Dog Daycare Success Academy immersion event at Lumley Castle. We talk about consistency, content mistakes, why follower count matters less than most people think, and how pet...

Are you trying to fix your profit problem by adding more dogs through the door? What if the money you need is already sitting inside your existing client base? And how could a few simple offers create a quick cashflow surge without adding more chaos to your facility? In this episode, I’m sharing a practical training on how to find the hidden money in your dog daycare. After the first Dog Daycare Success Academy immersion event in Boston, where we focused heavily on profit, pricing, labour costs, and 90-day goals, I wanted to give you three simple ways to increase revenue without chasing more...
info_outlineWhat can a self-proclaimed Midwest trailer park kid teach you about building a million-dollar pet business empire?
What’s the right way to go from garage-grooming to a full-blown dog daycare dynasty?
And how can hiring a VA finally give you back your time and sanity?
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by special guest and keynote speaker of Impact 2025, Eve Molzhon.
Eve shares her “8 Mile” origin story - going from nothing to running four thriving pet businesses with a combined seven-figure revenue. She opens up about how she made the leap from survival mode to CEO, why there’s never a perfect time to start, and how anyone can scale up with the right systems and support.
We also tease what’s coming at Impact 2025: The Dog Daycare Success Summit, where you’ll learn how to “claim the crown” and dominate your local market. We explain why building a sustainable business (not just staying stuck in self-employment) is the key to long-term financial freedom, and how the Summit will give attendees the tools and mindset they need to step into that CEO role.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
• Your Starting Point Doesn’t Define You– Just because you start small doesn’t mean you can’t achieve what you want and more.
• There’s No Perfect Time to Get Going – Whether you’ve got kids, bills, or self-doubt, growth starts when you stop waiting and start acting.
• Scale with Systems – From hiring a VA to outsourcing marketing, Eve shares the tools that helped her get out of the weeds and into the CEO role.
• Think Bigger Than Survival – Eve’s transition from day-to-day hustle to long-term strategy shows what’s possible when you start thinking like a leader.
• Claim Your Crown – Impact 2025 isn’t just a summit—it’s your chance to map out how to dominate your local market and lead with confidence.
Get ready to claim your crown, build your empire, and become the go-to pet business in your town.
