Gifting from New Zealand to Saligrama

You select the pet and pay from New Zealand; we deliver to your family's address in Saligrama, Karnataka. India runs 6.5 to 7.5 hours behind New Zealand, which is the practical detail most people underestimate — we put the schedule in writing so neither side is guessing at the other's hours. Our team plans the route in advance for a safe handover at your doorstep.

Choosing a pet that suits Saligrama

Saligrama has a pleasant semi-tropical climate, which means the plateau climate is relatively moderate, which suits a wide range of breeds. Keep vaccinations, deworming and annual vet checks on schedule year-round. Homes here often have more space and independent plots, which gives a pet room to move and settle in comfortably. We recommend on the basis of the destination rather than the sender's location.

What your family receives

The pet arrives with its vaccination record and health documentation, and a 7-day health guarantee runs from delivery. We brief whoever receives the pet on feeding, vaccination schedule and settling-in, and we stay reachable afterwards — useful when the person who paid is several time zones away. Families throughout peninsular India use this to mark birthdays, retirements and long-delayed family visits.

The first week

The first week is about routine, not excitement. Feed at consistent times, keep the same food initially, and let the pet approach people in its own time rather than being passed around. The vaccination record travels with the pet and we are contactable if you have questions.
