PETSHUB

Pet ownership has become increasingly significant in modern society, where pets are viewed not only as animals but as valued companions. Managing their needs, however, often requires pet owners to rely on multiple platforms—shopping for supplies on e-commerce sites, booking veterinary appointments separately, and searching for advice across forums or social media. This fragmented approach is time-consuming and inconvenient. To address these challenges, we present PetsHub, a web-based application designed to integrate essential pet care services into a single platform. Built using Java Servlets, JSP, and MySQL, and following the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, PetsHub combines modules for user registration and authentication, online shopping, shopping cart and wishlist management, order tracking, veterinary appointment booking, chatbot assistance, and an administrative dashboard for product and order management. The system was tested in an Apache Tomcat environment, and the results show that it simplifies the overall pet care process by streamlining multiple services into one application. PetsHub makes life easier for pet owners, helps administrators manage things more smoothly, and creates room for new features in the future. Possible extensions include integrating secure online payments, developing a mobile app, and applying artificial intelligence for personalized product recommendations.
