Special goodies on Valentine’s Day
Pawfect is offering paw-shaped Valentine’s Day cakes and delicious ice creams. All treats are available in sugar-free varieties.
Niharika Virmani, who runs Pawfect (a boarding facility for pets) in Mumbai said, “We decided to make these delightful treats keeping Valentine’s Day in mind because we thought why should human beings have all the fun? Pets should have a great time too!”
Niharika learnt the art of whipping up yummy doggy delights while pursuing an animal behaviorist course from Nash Academy of Animal Arts, the US.
“We prepare all the food in house with natural ingredients. Dogs just really love them,” she says. Her Valentine’s Day spread also includes sausage rolls, which is chicken wrapped with glutton-free bread. Then there are specially made chicken cookies too.
Online and offline stores offer luxury pet products
Heads Up For Tails (HUFT), a chain of online and offline stores for luxury pet products, has come up with the concept of V-Day ‘Happiness Wag Box’ which can be custom packed based on the dog’s age / preferences / breed / gender etc. and is delivered at the customer’s doorstep.
“We came up with the concept of happiness box since dogs bring so much joy and happiness into our lives and what better way to celebrate than by showering our love and affection on them on the day of love,” says Rashi Sanon Narang of HUFT, who runs a shop in Kalyani Nagar in Pune.
“Based on the concept of real love, we would be offering real meat treats to the winners. These treats could also be purchased online too. Besides, we are also offering Valentines’ Day T-shirts, mushy-scented shampoos, jackets, sweaters, bows, chic collars and leashes and more,” says Rana Atheya, founder and chief executive officer of DogSpot.in, another online shop for pets.
Pet owners love spending time with their pets on Valentine’s Day
With so much on offer, pet owners are too happy. “I want to make this day special for my doggy and have decided to treat him to a royal spa, with hair cutting and body messaging thrown in. Then in the evening, we will go for a Valentine’s Day dinner, where other pooches will join in along with their owners,” says Priyanka Jain.
Another pet owner
“I have already ordered for a wag box that she will love to receive. Moreover, there’s a clip and cool T-shirt awaiting her,” says Rahul Agarwal.
For the pet stores, the run up to Valentine’s Day is always good business. “Our sales generally go up by two and a half times during this period,” says Atheya from (DogSpot.in). The facilities on offer come at the cost of a few thousands, if not more, but for pet owners that is a small price to pay when it comes to the true love of their life.
