Tell us about Petfolk.

Our services are simply the best and most dependable because we have gathered the finest hands and amazing wagons to demonstrate our deep interest in leveling up the game and becoming your one-stop answer for all pet demands.
What led you to come up with this idea?
Back when this idea came to me I had two dogs, now I have three. I am very passionate about the way I care for my dogs. It is one thing to have a pet and a completely another ballpark to care for them and give them the resources for their health to thrive. So I thought why stick to only caring for my pets when I can extend the services to pets all around? That’s when I came up with the idea of PetFolk. Our main aim is to promote Pet care the way we would care for ourselves.
