Gift a Pet to Your Family in Kunnathunad from New Zealand

Gifting from New Zealand to Kunnathunad

You select the pet and pay from New Zealand; we deliver to your family's address in Kunnathunad, Kerala. India runs 6.5 to 7.5 hours behind New Zealand, which is the practical detail most people underestimate — we agree when to call before anything is booked, rather than leaving it to chance. Our team plans the route in advance for a safe handover at your doorstep.

Choosing a pet that suits Kunnathunad

Kunnathunad has a coastal tropical climate, which means the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention. Keep bedding dry and the resting area well-ventilated, especially during the monsoon. With independent houses common, there is usually room for a medium-sized breed to exercise at home. We recommend on the basis of the destination rather than the sender's location.

What your family receives

The pet arrives with its vaccination record and health documentation, and a 7-day health guarantee runs from delivery. The person receiving the pet is taken through diet, vaccination dates and how to settle it in, and we stay reachable afterwards — useful when the person who paid is several time zones away. Families across South India use this to mark birthdays, retirements and long-delayed family visits.

Which kind of pet suits Kunnathunad

Choosing between a dog, a cat and a bird matters more than choosing a breed. In Kunnathunad, where the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention, a dog commits you to outdoor time in local conditions, a cat is largely indoors and self-directed, and birds need a steady, draught-free spot. Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats.

Health, vaccination and the guarantee

Every pet is vaccinated and health-checked before handover and travels with its records. A 7-day health guarantee runs from delivery. Keep the vaccination schedule going after that — in Kunnathunad's coastal tropical conditions, Dry the coat and ears thoroughly after baths or rain to prevent fungal and skin issues.

Preparing the home in Kunnathunad

Homes here often have more space and independent plots, which gives a pet room to move and settle in comfortably. Before the pet arrives, set aside a quiet corner away from through-traffic, sort out bedding, bowls and a carrier, and agree who is responsible for feeding and walks. Dry the coat and ears thoroughly after baths or rain to prevent fungal and skin issues.

The first week

The first week is about routine, not excitement. Feed at consistent times, keep the same food initially, and let the pet approach people in its own time rather than being passed around. The vaccination record travels with the pet and we are contactable if you have questions.

Why more families across South India are choosing pets

Feeding and daily routine

Set meal times and stick to them; free-feeding makes it hard to notice when a pet goes off its food. Change diet slowly and only after the pet has settled. Kunnathunad's climate means the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention, so hydration deserves attention. Dry the coat and ears thoroughly after baths or rain to prevent fungal and skin issues.
