Pet ownership has grown rapidly in Indian cities, and pet parents spend carefully on health, food and grooming. They're also very active online — searching for vets at odd hours, following pet accounts on Instagram and asking for recommendations in community groups. Here's how pet businesses can reach them.
For veterinary clinics
- Google Maps: category Veterinarian, accurate hours, and clear emergency availability. Many searches happen at night when a pet is unwell.
- Services pages: vaccination, deworming, surgery, dental care, diagnostics, boarding.
- Vet profiles: qualifications and registration, species treated (dogs, cats, birds, livestock).
- Vaccination reminders: WhatsApp reminders for due vaccinations — useful service and repeat visits.
- Educational posts: vaccination schedules, summer heat precautions, foods toxic to pets, Diwali firecracker anxiety tips.
For pet shops
- WhatsApp catalogue of food brands, accessories and toys with prices.
- Home delivery and repeat orders for pet food — a big convenience.
- Instagram Reels of new products and customers' pets (with permission).
- Google Maps with product categories and photos.
For groomers
- Before/after photos and videos — very shareable.
- Clear package pricing by breed size.
- Online slot booking.
- Home grooming as a premium service.
