Trends are moving from packaged to fresh dietary
food; from brick and mortal stores to easy and
convenient online ordering. These days, the old
tradition of Indian Ayurveda is in vogue for pets
too. There is a significant transitional upgrade in
the ways of pet keeping in India. Awareness about
veterinarian care is growing tremendously and it
shall see further boost in the coming days, as more
and more of the young generation is adopting pet
keeping as a substitute to child parenting. It is not
only about showing how adorable your pet is and
a status symbol,, but also about the psychological
needs for caring and compassion.
