Tell us about Petfolk.

Petfolk is a furbaby-centric company, which means that we value pets and their comfort above all else. Pet owners can now rest easy knowing that Petfolk not only covers every service but also claims to be an industry authority in it. 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? Thatā€™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.

Tell us more about your Mobile Grooming Vans.

We have introduced our most revolutionary yet environmentally friendly Mobile Grooming vans, which have topped industry charts by being the most sustainable and all-inclusive. Our vans have a hybrid inverter system with several power connections to power all of the appliances.

Where in Hyderabad can we spot your vans?

At the moment we have 2 vans operating in Hyderabad. The vans aren't situated in fixed places. We move around based on where our clients want us to come. Client feasibility comes first. We plan on bringing in more vans by the end of this month and by the end of the year we hope to have about 400 vans all around India.

What is the kind of technology used in the grooming vans?

The interior of Petfolk grooming vans is unlike anything else on the market today. We offer it all, from accent lighting to custom cabinetry. Our grooming van contains air vents and a ventilation system since we believe ventilation is the most crucial aspect of grooming. Our 360Ā° rotating camera is located within the cabin and records all grooming procedures. After the session, the pet parent will receive a video of the grooming session as an after-sales service.
