The industry is highly regulated so there's alot to consider before slapping an OPEN sign on a business. In addition to the licenses, your daughter will need to consider the market for a pet shop. The best way to do that is with a business plan. If she needs help with that and for all kinds of FREE start up help, contact either COSE (Council of Small Enterprise) or SBA (Small Business Administration) which will team her up with professionals. There are plenty of organizations out there eager to assist new entrepreneurs but you have to find them. They cannot find you. NOTE: Don't wait for your ship to come in ... Swim out to meet it.
