What inspired the founding of Plushpaws brand , and what values does the company prioritize in its operations?

Dr.Vaishali Bhat Vishnoi:I come from a background where knowledge plays a very important role in our lives. My both parents were eminent veterinary scientists and a very well-known name in the scientific community. I grew up around pets when I was young, and I always thought it would be fascinating to work with animals. After working for 20plus years in the veterinary industry I finally felt that I must fulfill my dream of becoming an entrepreneur and should prioritize the health, well-being, and happiness of dogs and cats.
We at Plushpaws prioritize high-quality, natural, and nutritious food options. The evolution in the pet parent mindset has led to the demand for specialized and premium pet food products. Our products are made with love and are pocket-friendly for the consumer.
How has Plushpaws established itself within the local pet community since its inception in 2023?
Dr.Vaishali Bhat Vishnoi: Plushpaws follows the traditional system and goes to the market strategy by connecting with the different stakeholders in the value chain of the industry which I learned in my first assignment. We are in constant touch with eminent veterinarians, established retailers, and wholesalers who understand the gaps in the product offerings and issues faced by pet parents. We endeavor to bring innovation in the development and formulation of pet products.
