We Make Pet Buying in India Safe, Honest and Simple
GoodPaws was built because buying a puppy or kitten online in India was broken. We fixed it — for Indian families, Indian pets, and the verified sellers who care for them.
We make the connections every pet deserves and every family can trust.
To us, pets are more than animals — they are tail-wagging, purring, sometimes-mischievous members of your family. But the system for getting a pet in India is broken, and animals are paying the price. Fake listings, puppy mills, sick animals sold without documentation, courier deliveries that traumatise young pups and kittens — we saw all of it and decided to fix it.
GoodPaws makes it simple for Indian families to find puppies and kittens from verified, ethical sources — and for responsible sellers to place their animals in loving, prepared homes. We provide all the support, guidance, and standards you need to feel confident every step of the way.

The ease of setting up a storefront online has made India's pet trade worse and worse. Well-intentioned families who just want to give a pet a good home don't know who they can trust. We started GoodPaws to change all that.
Fake Listings & Scams
Classifieds sites are flooded with fake sellers who take advance payments and disappear, leaving families heartbroken and out of pocket.
Sick Pets with No Documents
Animals sold without vet certificates, fake vaccinations, or hidden health conditions — discovered only after the family has already bonded.
Cruel Courier Deliveries
Young puppies and kittens shipped in boxes across India, traumatised, malnourished, and often ill by the time they arrive.
Puppy Mills & Kitten Factories
Unethical breeders prioritising profit over welfare — animals bred in inhumane conditions, parents discarded when no longer productive.
Hidden Fees & Middlemen
Agents and brokers adding commissions at every step, inflating prices and reducing transparency between buyer and breeder.
No After-Sale Support
Once the transaction is complete, families are left alone with diet questions, vet concerns, and settling-in challenges — with nowhere to turn.
How GoodPaws Fixed the System
By combining rigorous seller verification with technology and ongoing support, we've built the safest, most transparent way to bring a pet home in India.
Every seller on GoodPaws has been personally verified. Every pet comes with a vet health certificate. Every handover happens in person. No exceptions.
Manual Seller Verification
Every dog breeder and cat seller is personally checked — licensed, vet-partnered, background-verified, and assessed against our Animal Welfare Board of India standards before they can list a single pet on GoodPaws.
Health Documentation for Every Pet
Before any puppy or kitten is listed, a certified vet performs a full health check. Buyers receive a signed vet report, complete vaccination records, and a KCI or FCI breed certificate at handover.
In-Person Handover — Always
No courier deliveries. Ever. GoodPaws facilitates safe, guided, in-person handovers in Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Pune — so you meet your pet before you commit.
30-Day After-Adoption Support
Our pet experts stay with you for 30 days — answering questions about diet, training, vet referrals, and settling-in. Completely free for every GoodPaws family.
Every Pet on GoodPaws Meets These Standards
We built our verification standards in collaboration with licensed veterinarians and animal welfare experts — because pets deserve better than the industry default.
Vet Health Certificate
A signed certificate from a licensed veterinarian confirming the pet is healthy and fit for adoption — provided before handover, not after.
Complete Vaccination Record
Age-appropriate vaccinations verified and documented by the seller's vet partner. You see the exact dates, vaccines, and administering vet.
KCI / FCI Breed Certificate
Purebred dogs come with Kennel Club of India registration. Purebred cats with FCI or equivalent papers. Plus microchip ID for lifetime traceability.
AWBI-Compliant Sellers
All GoodPaws sellers follow Animal Welfare Board of India guidelines. No puppy mills. No kitten factories. Only licensed, welfare-first breeders.
Background-Checked Sellers
Every seller's identity, facility, and practices are personally verified by the GoodPaws team before they can list. We revisit compliance regularly.
Zero Courier Policy
No pet sold through GoodPaws is ever transported by courier, cargo, or third-party delivery. In-person handover is non-negotiable — for every pet, every time.
The Values Behind Every Decision We Make
Transparency First
Every seller, every document, every standard is visible. We believe that informed families make better decisions — for themselves and for the animal.
Animal Welfare is Non-Negotiable
Every policy we write, every seller we screen, every standard we set starts with one question: is this good for the pet? The answer must always be yes.
Buyers Deserve Protection
Buying a pet is emotional. We protect that emotion — with verified sellers, health guarantees, and a team that stays with you after the handover.
Built for India
We are not a copy of a Western pet platform. Our standards, our city coverage, our KCI and AWBI compliance — every detail is built for Indian families and Indian conditions.
