Might I suggest that an alternate way of handling this could be:
\seeindex{dogs}{animals+dogs}
with
\index{animals+dogs}
It's the author's choice, but this avoids redundant page entries and a very
long \placeindex.
(Note that we recently extended \seeindex to handle the {...+...}
syntax for both arguments.)

Awesome!
However, I think that Joel was looking for a solution closer to what
Hraban suggested, creating automatic subcategories. I would do that
through a additional macros:
\starttexdefinition protected Animals#1
\index{#1}
\index{animals+#1}
#1
)
\starttexdefinition protected Plants#1
\index{#1}
\index{plants+#1}
#1
)
\Animals{dogs}
\Plants{trees}
I use as a general indexing macro:
\starttexdefinition tolerant protected Index[#1]#:#*#2
\index[#1]{#2}
#2
\stoptexdefinition

As I understand, if you use \index{animals+dogs}, it will place dogs as
a sub-category of dogs.
Is there any way to control this centrally, for instance:
\addtosub[animals]{dogs, cats, snails}
\addtosub[plants]{flowers, trees}
Such a way would make it so \index{dogs} places an entry for "dog" under
"d" and "animals --> dogs" under "a".

"d" and "animals --> dogs" under "a".
I’d suggest to cook your own macro, e.g. for a book with a lot of person
index entries, I used a lookup table to unify different spellings or
name changes (married, titles etc.) like this:
"""% environment:
\loadluafile[lookups] % Index lookups
\defineregister[Person][]
\defineprocessor[italics][style=italicface]
\define[1]\Passim{\emph{passim}}
\defineprocessor[passim][command=\Passim]
\define[1]\nPerson{%
\expanded{\Person{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}%
}
\define[1]\TPerson{%
\expanded{\Person[kursiv->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}%
}#1}
\define[1]\nCPerson{\expanded{\Person[italics->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")%
\define[1]\TCPerson{\expanded{\Person[italics->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}#1}%
"""
"""lookups.lua:
userdata = userdata or { }
userdata.Lookups = {
…
["Pauline, geb. Fichtner Erdmannsdörfer"] = "Erdmannsdörfer, Pauline,
geb. Fichtner",
["Pauline Erdmannsdörfer"] = "Erdmannsdörfer, Pauline, geb. Fichtner",
["Pauline Erdmannsdörfer-Fichtner"] = "Erdmannsdörfer, Pauline, geb.
Fichtner",
…
}
function userdata.Lookup(name)
context(userdata.Lookups[name] or name)
end
"""
In a similar way you could setup an \Animal macro to use a lookup table
how the entry should get indexed.
