MACROECONOMICS SEMESTER PROJECT
Overall product detail:
"Dog house"
Service details:
"Dog House" would be a housing areas for adopted dogs. This service would be provided for people who would adopt a dog, but can't comply because of circumstances such as: family member allergy, lack of living space and time, etcetera. On behalf of them, this company would adopt the dog. For $100 a month, the dogs would be fed, walked, and played with daily. This also covers vaccinations and checkups. The person whom the dog is adopted under can take the dog whenever he/she wishes for walks for playdates at the dog park when the time allows them to. This ensures that the adopted dog will be given a happy and long life that it may not have had at a crowded, cold kennel at the shelter.
An additional service would include "play dates" for the public. This service allows anyone, with proper identification, to buy a ticket; this ticket would let the person play with the dogs for an hour. This is great for socializing the dogs with people who'll show them love when the owner is away. However, the dog can't be taken away from the facility for safety reasons. This is a great alternative for the dog lover who don't want the responsibility of owning a dog.
Service costs:
$100 for a dog per month
$50 for vet visits
$20 for a public ticket to play with dogs
