III. LITERATURE REVIEW


"Human involvement has contributed significantly to the persistence of domestic species" (Duckler,
2002, p.208). Dogs are tamed creatures who rely on people to survive. The survival of the stray dog population
depends heavily on people. The average lifespan of stray dogs is 6 to 8 years, which is almost half of that of pet
dogs (Vita).
1) Due to poor human handling and socialization, the second generation of stray dogs is regarded as
wild and has low survival and productivity rates (Tasker, 2007)
2) There is no biological distinction between stray dogs and dogs that belong to people; both types of
dogs are highly procreative and rely on people for supplies. A female dog can give birth to four puppies every
six months, or more than 5000 dogs in five years (Sternheim, 2012, p)
3) Stray dogs, however, have a distinct status and worth in society. Different national or municipal laws
may affect how a dog is defined differently from one nation to the next. The facts that have been revealed within
the European Union show that the animal was abandoned with the goal of getting rid of it or banishing it. 2
(2012) (Voslárvá et al., p)
The concept was drawn from Act No. 246/1992 Coll., Czech law, which protects animals from abuse.
The European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals, to which the Czech Republic is a signatory state, is
reflected in the Act. A dog may be owned in some nations, yet it may also be free to roam the streets. In certain
nations, any dog spotted on the street unsupervised by a human is regarded as a stray dog.
Dogs are categorized as stray by the International Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)
because of their dependence on people across national boundaries. The degree of human control over dogs
varies among nations, which affects how dependent they are on us. Thus, ownership is a key component in the
WASP's classification of dogs that controls the level of control over the whereabouts and reproduction of
canines. In managing and controlling stray dogs, the owner is crucial. Dogs may still live and breed in the
absence of human supervision because human infrastructure provides them with food and shelter.

A)REVIEW OF LITERATURE BY JOURNALISM

[1]. Ghatak and Singh (2015), researched “Veterinary public health in India: current status and future needs”
states that due to high population density, the re-emergence of zoophytic pathogens, environmental pollution
and antimicrobial resistance, it urges the need for the development of VPH(Veterinary public health) in India.
According to Ghatak and Singh's (2015) study, "Veterinary public health in India: current status and future
requirements," the country urgently needs to develop VPH due to its high population density, the resurgence of
zoonotic infections, environmental pollution, and antibiotic resistance. Although VPH is not yet accepted
practice in India, official medical authorities are working to promote a functional VPH service as an addition to
the nation's general healthcare system. The scientific correspondence "Feral dogs of Spiti Valley, Himachal
Pradesh: an emerging threat for wildlife and human life" by Kumar and Paliwal (2015) reveals that the valley
lacks administrative support to control the frequent reproduction of dogs, resulting in overpopulation and
subsequent problems.

[2]. Otranto et al. (2017), 2. In their study "Zoonotic Parasites of Sheltered and Stray Dogs in the Age of the
Global Economic and Political Crisis," Otranto et al. (2017) claim that when stray and shelter dogs move from
one location to another, they operate as vectors and negatively impact public health. Furthermore, neither public
health nor veterinary institutions priorities providing effective treatments and prevention measures for such ill
animals. To reduce dog overpopulation and euthanasia of unwanted and sick animals, spay-neuter programmed
are recommended and promoted.

[3]. Rojas et al. (2018), in his research he highlight the present forces for change about the significance of
teaching animal welfare in their research paper titled "Teaching Animal Welfare in Veterinary Schools in Latin

Platform for Pet Care and Maintenance

America." Researchers have suggested several approaches involving the standards, subjects, and ideas of
training in animal welfare, highlighting the necessity of incorporating it into veterinary school programmes.

[4]. Arya et al. (2019), 4. In their study "Circadian variations in foraging and resting/standing activity patterns of
stray street cattle of urban Sambalpur, Odisha, India," Arya et al. (2019) state that the increase in street cattle is
due to urban development and the shrinking amount of grazing land in and around towns and cities. The
prevalence of road accidents, the spread of disease, and traffic congestion are all greatly influenced by the
presence of street cattle.

IV. METHODOLOGY
We designed a platform for pet care and maintenance using a user-centered approach, gathering
feedback from pet owners, veterinarians, and pet care experts. The platform features a dashboard that allows pet
owners to view their pets' health status, including vaccination records, medication schedules, and other vital
signs. The platform also provides tools for managing pets' diets and exercise routines, such as food and exercise
trackers. Additionally, the platform provides access to online communities where pet owners can connect with
other pet owners and experts for advice and support.

V. EVALUATION AND OBJECTIVE OF PET CARE


The evaluation and objective of a pet care management system are crucial elements of the system, as
they determine the effectiveness of the system in meeting the needs of pet owners and their pets.
The objective of a pet care management system is to provide pet owners with a centralized platform
where they can easily manage all aspects of their pet's care. This includes tracking their pet's diet, exercise
routine, medications, health records, and other important information. By providing pet owners with a
comprehensive and user-friendly tool for managing their pet's care, the system can help to ensure that pets
receive the best possible care, leading to better health outcomes and increased quality of life for pets.

To evaluate the effectiveness of a pet care management system, several factors should be considered, including:

User experience: The system should be easy to use and navigate, with a user-friendly interface that is accessible
to both tech-savvy and non-tech-savvy pet owners.

Functionality: The system should provide a comprehensive range of features that meet the needs of pet owners,
such as health monitoring, diet tracking, activity tracking, medication reminders, and vaccination schedules.

Security: The system should be designed with robust security measures to protect user data, such as data
encryption and access controls.

Accuracy: The system should be accurate in tracking and recording pet data, ensuring that pet owners can rely
on the information provided by the system.

Impact: The system should have a positive impact on pet health outcomes, improving the overall health and
wellness of pets and reducing the risk of health problems.

By evaluating these factors, it is possible to determine the effectiveness of the pet care management system in
meeting its objectives and improving the quality of care for pets. Overall, the objective of a pet care
management system is to provide a valuable tool for pet owners, simplifying the pet care process and ensuring
that pets receive the best possible care.

VI. OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT


The central concept of the application is to allow the customer to pet shop virtually using the Internet and allow
customers to buy the pets of their desire from the store. The information pertaining to the products are stores on
an RDBMS at the server side (store).

A)ANALYSIS OF EXISTING WEBSITES

The online pet store portals have customer file where the customer’s details are stored which can be
stored in the application’s database or cloud solutions for future reference. The websites allows customers to
search the pet by location. Such online stores are available as websites as well as mobile applications. It
provides all details regarding the stores, all the products available, its varieties, other accessories, etc,. Either all

Platform for Pet Care and Maintenance

the pet stores which are available in the city are shown or the store details, of all the branches in the city are
shown in the portal.
But no portal is providing the service for nurturing a pet and grooming it in a right way. There are no reviews
added to the stores for the customers to review the store before making a purchase. So, we came up with this
“online pet shop” which will provide store details, pet availability details, along with customized pet services
like food delivery, advising specific accessories to be used, nurturing techniques, grooming procedure, etc,
Customers can search the product and place order online. They can also add ratings and reviews for each
commodity purchased and service availed from each store.

B)NOVELTY PROPOSAL

The existing portals like dunzo, pet sutra, one pet store, etc., have come up with several similar features
which will guide customers to a particular store and buy the product. Some companies deliver the pet to the
respective address as well. But they do not provide pet grooming and nurturing services. The users cannot
decide to which store they can reach out for a specific service.
Therefore, we brought a solution to this problem by creating an ONLINE PET SHOP website to allow
its users to find a nearby store to their location and av ail all the required services according to their pet needs.
The website lists out all the pet stores based on its location and other categories and each store has a rating and
review feature enabled with it which makes it easier for the user to go through it and find the best among the
stores. Hence, our project aims at building an efficient online pet store which helps the user to find all the best
services in one place and avail it in one go.

IX. IMPLEMENTATION
To implement a pet care management system using SQL, you would typically start by creating a database
schema. This schema would define the tables, columns, and relationships between them. A typical schema for a
pet care management system might include tables for pets, owners, appointments, and services provided.

Here is an example diagram for a pet care management system:


+----------------+ +------------------+
| pets | | owners |
+----------------+ +------------------+
| id | | id |
| name | | name |
| breed | | email |
| dob | | phone_number |
| gender | +--------------------+
| owner_id |
+----------------+

+-----------------+ +----------------+
| appointments| | services |
+------------------+ +-----------------+
| id | | id |
| pet_id | | name |
| start_time | | description |
| end_time | | price |
| service_id | +-----------------+
+-----------------+

The "pets" table stores information about the pets that are registered with the pet care management system. This
includes the pet's name, breed, date of birth, gender, and the ID of the owner to whom the pet belongs.

The "owners" table stores information about the owners of the pets. This includes the owner's name, email
address, and phone number.

DOI: 10.9790/0661-2502025364 www.iosrjournals.org 58 | Page


Platform for Pet Care and Maintenance

The "appointments" table stores information about the appointments that are made for pets to receive services.
This includes the start and end times of the appointment, the ID of the pet receiving the service, and the ID of
the service being provided.

The "services" table stores information about the services that are offered by the pet care management system.
This includes the name and description of the service, as well as the price.

Using this schema, you could then write SQL queries to retrieve information about the pets, owners,
appointments, and services stored in the database.

X. REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO DEVELOPING THE SOFTWARE

A)Front end requirements

FRONT END: - The front end is a combination of two different elements: the graphic design (the look) and the
user interface (the feel). Each of these is created independently, with most of the technical work going into the
user interface using web languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

B)Back end requirements

BACK END: - A back-end frame work is responsible for building and maintaining the back end of a website or
web application. The back end consists of all components a typical user does not interact with this includes
databases, servers, application logic, and APIs.

C) Server Host
1.XAMPP Server
SERVER: - XAMPP also includes other components such as phpMyAdmin, which is a web-based interface for
managing MySQL databases, and File Zilla, which is an FTP client for transferring files to and from the server.

Using XAMPP, you can easily set up a local web server environment on your computer for testing and
developing web applications. It also allows you to quickly switch between different versions of PHP and
MySQL for compatibility testing.

The pet care system is made expressly to give customers a better veterinarian experience, and the software
proves to be a helpful tool for physicians, nurses, and specialists to successfully administer medications. Owners
of pet businesses may assign tasks to their workforce at any time using the platform, which makes it simpler to
build relationships and collaborate with the staff and streamlines business processes.

A)COVID-19 Scenario analysis

The proliferation of COVID-19 has had an impact on both people and animals. The government-imposed lock
down has altered peoples' way of life. Animals were impacted by the epidemic as well since most veterinary
hospitals and clinics were shut down because they did not provide critical services. This has had a big impact on
the market expansion for pet care software.
The topic of software management in veterinary healthcare is the focus of government initiatives and
technological breakthroughs. During the pandemic, cloud-based solutions are widely used to provide proper pet
care services by giving pet owners all the resources they need to take care of their animals.

B) The pet care software market is seeing the following market trends:

1) A government programmed to stimulate market expansion:

With a variety of programmed and financial incentives, the government is helping farmers and the general
public adopt veterinarian care practices for animals used for food production. The government agency's actions
are leading to a rise in the need for veterinary hospitals for animals. Regulations for the development of
veterinary laboratories are being issued by government bodies more frequently, and this is anticipated to
significantly contribute to the growth of the pet care software industry. The necessity to deploy pet care software
has increased due to the increased focus on innovations in the animal health sector, which is fueling market
expansion.

2)Expected to have tremendous growth in Asia-Pacific:

During the predicted period, significant growth is anticipated in Asia-Pacific. The pet care software market is
expanding as a result of the increased demand for animal healthcare practice management that has been brought
on by the region's expanding livestock population, rising need for animal food items, and rising pet adoption
rates. The market is expanding as a result of rising consumer awareness and rising demand for software to
simplify veterinary healthcare procedures. The market in the Asia-Pacific region is expanding as a result of the
necessity to minimize healthcare difficulties brought on by the increasing frequency of zoophytic illnesses and
the requirement for strategies to reduce infection.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
There are several locations which are very remote and are having difficulties in easy mobility. We’ll
consider these areas as well and promote stores from those rural ares and also provide services for customers
who could not reach out to a proper store. In order to earn more revenue, we would like to provide subscription
plans for our customers to avail services at a premium level. The stores which are promoted through our website
will be certified as verified stores and also a separate account will be created for all the stores which will help
the store to maintain deals with customers through our website. As an initial stage of development, database is
being used to store all customer data and store data. We look forward for buying cloud solutions, public and
private for all customers and subscribed customers respectively in order to access data with ease. This will help
attract more customers, promote more stores and also help our product and service earn more revenue income
and goodwill among the competitive market.
The future scope of a pet care management system is promising, as advances in technology and increased
awareness of the importance of pet care can help to drive further innovation in the field. Here are some potential
future developments for pet care management systems:

Integration with wearable technology: The integration of pet wearable, such as activity trackers or health
monitors, can provide real-time data on a pet's health and wellness, which can be automatically synced to the pet
care management system. This can provide pet owners with a more comprehensive view of their pet's health and
help to identify potential health issues early on.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning: The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms
can help to analyze large amounts of data and provide personalized recommendations for pet care. This can
include customized diet and exercise plans, medication schedules, and other health-related information based on
the pet's individual needs and health history.

Health consultations: With the increasing availability of health services, pet care management systems could
incorporate health consultations with veterinarians and other pet care professionals. This would provide pet
owners with convenient access to expert advice and support without having to leave their homes.

Social media integration: Integrating social media features into pet care management systems could help to
create a community of pet owners who can share advice, experiences, and support. This can provide a sense of
camaraderie and support for pet owners and help to promote better pet care outcomes.

Block chain technology: The use of block chain technology can provide additional security measures, such as

tamper-proof data storage and verification, which can help to further protect the sensitive information stored
within the pet care management system.

In summary, the future scope of pet care management systems is vast, and further advancements in technology
can provide new opportunities to improve the health and wellness of pets and promote better pet care outcomes.
