Choosing a pet that suits Mandi

Mandi has a cold mountain climate, which means crisp hill weather is comfortable for most dogs but harsh for short-coated ones in winter. Older pets may need joint support as cold can stiffen movement. With independent houses common, there is usually room for a medium-sized breed to exercise at home. The right breed for Mandi is decided by conditions in Mandi, not by where the payment comes from.

What your family receives

The pet arrives with its vaccination record and health documentation, and a 7-day health guarantee runs from delivery. We brief whoever receives the pet on feeding, vaccination schedule and settling-in, and we stay reachable afterwards — useful when the person who paid is several time zones away. Families across North India use this to mark birthdays, exam results and homecomings.
