Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Is this playbook suitable for a complete first-time pet parent?

Yes — it is written specifically for first-time Indian pet parents, who make up the large majority of owners in the country. It assumes no prior knowledge and explains everything from the first vaccine to what to do when a pet panics on Diwali night.

Is the content verified and up to date?

Every rule, fee, schedule and date is drawn from official sources — WSAVA vaccination guidelines, WHO and India's National Rabies Control Programme, the Supreme Court and CPCB firecracker rules, the Animal Welfare Board of India and the PCA Rules, MCD, BMC and Greater Chennai Corporation, Indian Railways and IRCTC, Air India and Akasa, and IRDAI-regulated insurers — current as of October 2026.

Does it cover both dogs and cats?

Yes. There are dedicated sections on cats, including the things that are genuinely different and dangerous — lilies, paracetamol, litter-tray problems and meat-based nutrition — alongside the dog-focused chapters.

Is there a Diwali section, and is it useful now?

Yes. Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday 8 November, with the noise running from Dhanteras on 6 November to Bhai Dooj on 10 November. The playbook includes a full countdown plan, a safe-room setup, the law on firecracker noise, and a printable checklist — so it is directly useful in the weeks before the festival.

How do I download the playbook after payment?
