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 in western India use this to mark weddings, graduations and the first day in a new house.

Health, vaccination and the guarantee

The first week

Costs beyond the purchase

Plan for the running costs, not just the one-off. Boosters, deworming, food, grooming and the occasional vet visit are the ongoing commitment. Around Porbandar, it is worth identifying your nearest vet before the pet arrives.
