“Decline in pet’s health status is due to current inconsistent and fragmented offerings with profit motive, poor quality of products and services, lack of right parenting guidance and offerings,” says Santhosh. “We are a 360-degree care platform with guided experience through lifecycle of pet through trust and personal touch.”
“We built inclusive experiences for pets and pet parents, that is first of its kind and… let’s celebrate the eternal bonding between them. It’s that inclusive and celebrating moment that defines PawsnCollars lifestyle. In 2021, during the second wave of COVID, through our eCommerce, we brought in our journey of collective experiences and learning through world’s best products to your doorstep. Same year, we brought in unique experiences through our lifestyle store that lets you and your pet indulge.”
The founders grew up with pets and feel that this made them into better humans. This made them recognize the positive impact pets have in creating a happy world. We decided to work on extending their lifespan thus making people happier.
The startup reports that it has a team size of 40, 15,000 customers with 60% returning customers.
