How to make a website for a pet shop
A pet owner looking for a pet shop nearby usually has one urgent question: do you have the food my dog or cat eats, in the bag size I buy, and can you send it home? A small website shows what you stock for each pet and puts a WhatsApp button on every page so the reorder comes straight to you.

What people look for on a pet shop website
- Food for each pet: puppy, adult and senior dog food, kitten and cat food, bird seed, fish food
- Bag sizes and whether you can order a food they ask for that you don't keep
- Accessories: collars, leashes, beds, bowls, litter, toys, cages and carriers
- An aquarium section, if you have one: tanks, filters, plants and fish
- Home delivery of heavy food bags and litter, and the areas you cover
- Whether you suggest a vet or groomer nearby, if you have one you trust
- Timings, including Sundays, and parking for someone carrying a 15 kg bag
The pages your website needs
- Home: The pets you stock for, a photo of the shop, delivery areas and a WhatsApp button to reorder food
- Food: Dog, cat, bird and fish food by age and type, with bag sizes and price ranges
- Accessories: Collars, beds, bowls, litter, toys, cages and carriers, with photos of your shelves
- Aquarium: Tanks, filters, plants and the fish you usually keep, and whether you set up tanks at home
- Delivery and contact: Delivery areas and charges, address, timings, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button
Sample words for your home page
Pet food, accessories and aquarium supplies in Kothrud, Pune
Food for dogs, cats, birds and fish in every bag size we can get. No delivery charge on food orders above ₹1,500 within 4 km. Open 10 AM to 9 PM, Sundays too.
Paws and Fins opened in 2016 because we couldn't find our own dog's food nearby. We keep food for every life stage, check dates before anything is sold, and deliver heavy bags to your door. Tell us on WhatsApp what your pet eats and we will keep it for you every month.
Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.
How to make it with AppCub, step by step
- Decide the pages. Most pet shop websites need these pages: Home, Food, Accessories, Aquarium, Delivery and contact.
- Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
- Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
- Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
- Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.
Copy this request, change the details to match your pet shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a pet shop website
- Describe food by pet, age and type (puppy dry food, adult wet food) instead of listing brand names you may not be allowed to use.
- If you sell live fish or birds, follow the rules that apply to keeping and selling them, and show a registration number if you have one.
- Don't give health or diet advice on the website; suggest owners ask their vet, and say you can order the food the vet suggests.
- Put the delivery area and minimum order on the home page; it is the first thing a pet owner with a heavy bag asks.
- Use photos of your own shelves and aquarium tanks, taken without glare on the glass.
- Add the shop to a free Google Business Profile with your Sunday timings, and link the website there.
What it costs
- Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- The website can't take orders or payments or show live stock; owners reorder on WhatsApp or by phone. For regulars who reorder the same food every month with a reminder, a pet shop app is the better fit.
- The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
- A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
- Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.
Questions
Should a pet shop website list every food brand?
Not necessarily. Describing food by pet, age and bag size works well, and owners can ask on WhatsApp whether you keep the exact food they use.
Can pet owners order food on my website?
They send the order on WhatsApp or call from any page. The website has no cart or payment; for a reorder list, use a pet shop app.
Can I show my aquarium fish on the website?
Yes, with your own photos and a line on each kind you usually keep. Say that stock of live fish changes, so customers check on WhatsApp before coming.
Can I write which food is right for a puppy?
Describe what each food is made for, such as puppy or senior, but leave diet advice to the vet. That keeps the website accurate.
Can I mention home delivery charges?
Yes. Put the delivery areas, minimum order and any charge on the delivery page so owners know before they message.
Will pet owners nearby find my shop on Google?
The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address and timings in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps on Maps.
