Quality pet care available (vets & kennels)?

Adequate. Not great. But they make house calls, and I love that. I hear there is no acceptable kennel. I hired a housekeeper and part of her job description is pet care while we are away. She watched my dog all summer long. - Aug 2013


It is, but you have to do your homework and find the right people. - May 2013


Not much. Not a great place for pets if they are more than just decorative. - Oct 2012


Good vets, we've yet to find a kennel. Animal food isn't too expensive. - Sep 2012


Increasingly available. - Aug 2011


yes - Aug 2011


Yes. Dr. Kunal at Max Vets rocks. - Aug 2011


Vets, yes. - Jan 2011


Mediocre vet care. Mainly focused on animal rescue. Lots of street dogs and stray cattle deserve medical care but are left to fend for themselves as "community animals", sadly dying of neglect. - Sep 2010


So-so... There are some vets in Gurgaon and they have been ok with my dog. Pets are still seen as a extravagant trend of rich people. - Aug 2010


No quality pet care though kennels are available. When using vets in India, confirm treatment with your US vet. - Aug 2010


The vets are not what you are used to back home, but there are some good ones. I have not heard of many kennels. - Aug 2010


The vets are not what you are used to back home but there are some good ones. I have not heard of many kennels; people usually get their staff to look after their pets. NOTE: If you are coming with a dog or cat and they might need an operation - bring one of those Elizabethan collars with you to stop them biting the operated area. - Mar 2008
