Who's behind this

Built for Indian pets, not translated for them

PawPassport India started from a simple frustration: nearly every pet care article online is written for a different climate, a different set of grocery-store ingredients, and a different kind of housing than what most Indian pet owners actually live in. Advice about "letting your dog out in the backyard" or "keeping the AC on all day for your bird" doesn't map cleanly onto a two-bedroom flat in Pune or a joint family home in Lucknow.

So this site exists to fill that gap: practical, honest, India-specific guidance for the four kinds of animals most commonly kept as pets here — dogs, cats, birds, and small pets like rabbits and hamsters. Every guide is written to be usable the same day you read it, with real seasonal considerations (monsoon skin infections, summer heatstroke), real budget constraints, and real local realities like adopting street dogs and community cats.

What we cover

  • Feeding and nutrition guidance that works with what's actually available in Indian markets
  • Health warning signs, written clearly enough to help you decide when a vet visit can't wait
  • Grooming, housing, and daily-care routines suited to Indian weather and living spaces
  • Honest, no-hype guidance on choosing the right pet for your actual life, not an idealised one

What we don't do

We don't provide individual veterinary diagnoses — no article can replace an in-person vet examining your specific animal. Where a topic touches on health, we say so clearly and point you toward professional care rather than guessing on your behalf.

A living project: New guides are added regularly, and existing ones are revised as we learn more or as reader questions surface gaps. If something on this site doesn't match what your vet tells you, always follow your vet's guidance — they know your specific animal.

PawPassport India is an independent publication of indiajobsnow.com. If you'd like to reach out with feedback, a correction, or a topic you'd like covered, visit our contact page — we read every message.
