The JUSTDOGS app has been launched to cater to the rapidly growing community of pet parents that prefer mobile shopping for the variety and efficiency it offers. We understand the need to invest in quality products and services delivered with convenience. In addition to this, we have also observed an increasing awareness about pet health and hygiene. Pet parents are becoming more conscious of the well-being of their furry companions and turning towards the internet to fulfill their needs. With this new app, while we offer a range of shopping options we will also work on building a rich repository of information and data that will help enrich the lives of both pets and their parents.”
According to industry reports, the pet care segment in India is valued at around Rs 4,000 crore and growing at a CAGR of about 30%, as per industry reports. In two/three years the segment is expected to touch the magic figure of ₹10,000 crore. The digital transformation of the pet care industry is fueled by the rapid growth of e-commerce in India. E-commerce has brought affordable pet care to tier 2 and tier 3 cities as well thus expanding the reach of pet parents in India. With a plethora of advantages, e-commerce in the pet care space is beginning to change the purchasing activity of pet parents while making it accessible, affordable and enjoyable.
