Overview
Mailgun is an email-delivery API in the same category as SendGrid — infrastructure that sends and tracks email at scale, aimed at software that needs to push large volumes of mail reliably. In pet care it plays the same behind-the-scenes role: getting reminders and marketing messages to the inbox without the platform running its own mail servers.
What data flows #
The pet-care software composes an email — a reminder, a review request, a promotion — and sends it through Mailgun's API. Mailgun handles delivery, authentication, and tracking of opens, bounces and complaints, then reports status back. To the client it is an ordinary email; to the platform it is a managed, monitored send.
The named case:
- PawLoyalty uses Mailgun for email delivery (Capterra-listed), paired with SendGrid.
Running two delivery providers is a deliberate engineering choice: redundancy and volume headroom. If one provider throttles or has an outage, the other keeps mail flowing — sensible for a platform whose facilities depend on reminders going out on time.
Why it earns its place #
For a pet business, the payoff is invisible when it works and painful when it doesn't: reminders that reliably arrive protect against no-shows, and review requests that land build the reputation that drives new bookings. A dedicated delivery API keeps that flowing at volume across many facilities, with tracking that shows whether messages are actually being opened.
The same caveats as any delivery layer apply. Mailgun is plumbing, not a campaign builder — PawLoyalty's marketing features drive it. And as with SendGrid, whether Mailgun remains part of PawLoyalty's stack after the 100GROUP/Kennel Connection merger was flagged as an open question in the research, so confirm the current setup if it matters to your decision.

How Mailgun integration works
Mailgun connects to pet-care platforms through one of three technical patterns: (1) native data feed built into the platform; (2) certified partner/bridge connector; or (3) marketplace or third-party connector (for example via Zapier or a documented export).
The choice of pattern determines the depth of data sync, reconciliation and record mapping available. Native feeds ship in weeks; marketplace connectors deploy in days; API builds require engineering.
- Verify vendor integration depth (native / certified / marketplace)
- Install connector from the vendor's integration directory or marketplace
- Complete OAuth 2.0 handshake or API key exchange
- Map clients, pets, bookings and payment records to the platform schema
- Configure reconciliation and sync frequency for each data feed
- Test the sync with 5-10 real bookings or payments
- Roll out to production in a phased pilot

Limitations to verify before signing
- Delivery infrastructure, not a campaign tool. Marketing/campaign features live in PawLoyalty on top of Mailgun.
- Post-merger uncertainty. Whether Mailgun remains in PawLoyalty’s stack after the 100GROUP/Kennel Connection merger was flagged as an open question.
- Single named vendor. Among researched tools, Mailgun is named specifically by PawLoyalty.
