Thailand Post has partnered with Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science and Bangkok Animal Hospital to launch a pet healthcare logistics service through its EMS delivery service, aiming to develop the pet health market across the country.

The service dispatches veterinary medicines and medical supplies to pet owners via two channels: home delivery for in-person visitors to Bangkok Animal Hospital, and home delivery for those using online tele-vet consultations.

Dhanant Subhadrabandhu, chief executive of Thailand Post, said the local pet market continues to expand in response to changing consumer behaviour, as more people adopt pets and treat them as part of the family.

Thailand’s pet market, which includes veterinary services, was valued at 664 billion baht in 2024.

This year, the number of pets is expected to grow by 6%, totalling 5.38 million animals, with dogs and cats remaining the most popular pets.

The growth of the pet population signals greater opportunities for the transport, veterinary services, and logistics sectors, said Mr Dhanant.
