Mumbai Gears up for the Cutest Weekend of the Year, Pet Fed – India’s Biggest Pet Festival
by Prashant Kapadia/NHN
Pet Fed, India’s Biggest Pet Festival & Limca World Record Holder of ‘Biggest Dog Carnival’, is back with its 3rd edition in Mumbai, to be held from 11th to 12th January, 2020 at JVPD Ground, Juhu, a much bigger, better and greener venue. With pets giving us their whole lives and expecting nothing in return, the agenda is to give all pet lovers a chance to dedicate a fun weekend to these pets. Pet Fed is a one-of-a-kind festival where people can pamper their four-legged fur buddies and reciprocate their love towards them.
At Pet Fed, there’s 3 acres of festival area to be explored along with a booming roster of activities ranging from Police Dog Show in association with Indian armed forces, International Cat Show in association with World Cat Federation, Fashion Show and dedicated play areas for cats and dogs respectively, along with a separate agility ring for the more active ones. More than 400+ products and services from the pet care sector across India and abroad will be exhibited for visitors to make an informed choice for their furry pals. The festival is also open for people who don’t have pets but want to simply attend Pet Fed to be around thousands of pooches & get a good dose of puppy love.
Speaking on the occasion, Akshay Gupta, Founder, Pet Fed mentioned, “Amidst a rise in instances of animal cruelty & neglecting of pets, our aim this year is to create a positive experience for people who believe in the golden phrase of a pet being a human’s best companion. Pet Fed is not just a social gathering for pets but also a source of infotainment with a flurry of activities and competitions for pets & their parents. Alongside, being a platform that also bridges the gap between pet parents and new innovations in the pet industry.”
“With increasing emotional attachment towards your pets & the boundless love, loyalty and utmost happiness you receive from them, it’s only fair for every pet parent to take time out of the everyday hustle and dedicate a few hours to your pet. There’s nowhere else you’d rather be at than this festival. The cuteness overload at this festival can brighten up anyone’s day and the increase in participation every year reflects that India is really making headway towards being a more pet-friendly country”, commented Dino Morea, Bollywood celebrity and entrepreneur, who is also an investor in Pet Fed.
Highlights of the festival:
Limca World Record Holder – Pet Fed, India’s biggest annual pet festival, holds the prestigious Limca Book of Records as the ‘Biggest Dog Carnival.’ With over 962 dogs which participated over two days for the record and footfall of more than 19,400 humans, this biggest pet socialization carnival happens every year across Bengaluru, Delhi & Mumbai
Dedicated Play Areas & Agility Ring – There are dedicated play zones for Cats & Dogs with 1 Play Zone & 1 separate Agility Rings for dogs, as well as a special fully indoors Cat Zone along with a Kitty Play Pen for cats. This will ensure a purr-fect fun time & aww-dorable moments for pets & their parents in the various swings, balls pools, slides & mazes curated for all our paw-some pet visitors
International Cat Show in association with World Cat Federation – After the huge success of Cat Show organized with Alliance of Cat Fanciers, we are going bigger with an exclusive association with the World Cat Federation that will hold elaborate Cat Shows on both days of the festival for cat parents & cats to participate in, show off their cattitude & if they win – be eligible to participate in cat shows across the world
Adoption Camps – With #AdoptDontShop being one of our major initiatives, we want to raise awareness around adoption being an ideal way to bring home a pet instead of buying, along with various NGOs including World For All, CUPA, PFA etc.
Police Dog Show – We set up a demo show at the festival by police dogs’ squad. A security dog is specially trained to alert you of trouble and to prevent suspicious and criminal activity through fierce barking. If an offender does enter your property, fully trained protection dogs may disable the offender, on their own or on command
Fashion Show – This is a fun activity where the human and their pets dressed in amazing pet couture walk down the ramp in style. The show stopper gets to walk the ramp with the actor Dino Morea & everyone gets to play pup-arazzi to capture this treat for the eyes
Retail Therapy & More – With over 150 brands from across India and abroad, pet owners will get to indulge in the best of products and services which they usually would not be aware of. There are also Food & Drinks available for hoomans where they can chill with their pets, eat, drink & celebrate!
