Waggle was started in 2020 by Dr. Ananya Iyer, a veterinarian with a BVSc & AH degree and eight years of small-animal practice behind her. The clinic is her attempt to run the kind of practice she would want to bring her own pet to: unhurried consults, diagnostics done on-site instead of sent away, and a genuine effort to keep the animal calm rather than just getting through the appointment. Eight years of practice is enough time to have seen how much of a pet's fear at the vet is avoidable, and that shows up in how Waggle is set up. She runs the studio side with a groomer-partner, Joel D'Souza. Joel handles grooming, which at Waggle is positioned as fear-free certified rather than a quick wash-and-go. The pairing matters to how the business reads: it is not a vet clinic that happens to offer baths, and it is not a grooming salon that keeps a vet on call. Both halves are led by named people who are accountable for their side of the work, and they share the same building at 4th Block, HSR Layout. By 2026 Waggle has been operating for roughly six years, long enough to have a base of repeat clients in the neighbourhood and to have built its reputation locally rather than through a website or heavy marketing. The business runs on WhatsApp and walk-ins. There is no live website yet (the intake notes this is a fresh build), and no indexed social or directory presence was found for this specific clinic during recon, so word of mouth in HSR Layout has been carrying it so far. What seems to drive the founders is the everyday version of good care: knowing the animals by name, keeping owners in the loop, and reducing the stress a vet or grooming visit usually causes.
