To open an animal medical store, you need to get qualified and secure a Pharmacy License. The person opening the store needs the degree of B. Pharm or M. Pharm to be a qualified pharmacist. You also need proof of ownership of the premises, proof of business registration, and more. The initial investment can be $400,000 – $600,000. Operating expenses average around $30,000 per month. As the pharmacy establishes itself, it may not fill enough volume initially to cover costs.
