Pet parents can get necessary medical advice for their pets by contacting us directly on our helpline numbers 7349061004/5/6 via calls/emails/text," the statement said. "

With the COVID-19 crisis, we have received several queries from pet parents who are having a tough time with medical and general pet related requirements like walks, exercise, vaccinations and wellbeing in general. This prompted us to launch our online consultation and home visit services," said Shruthi V Nithin, Founder & CEO, Floap.
