Gifting from South Africa to Mahe

You select the pet and pay from South Africa; we deliver to your family's address in Mahe, Puducherry.

Delivery is coordinated carefully to reach your address with minimal travel stress for the pet.

Choosing a pet that suits Mahe

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 South India use this to mark weddings, graduations and the first day in a new house.

Dry the coat and ears thoroughly after baths or rain to prevent fungal and skin issues.

Health, vaccination and the guarantee

Pets leave us vaccinated, dewormed and health-checked, with documentation included and a 7-day health guarantee from the day of delivery.
