There’s a quiet revolution happening in India’s travel landscape — one that doesn’t just involve humans with suitcases, but furry co-pilots with wagging tails and curious whiskers. Pets are no longer left behind when families embark on vacations or trips; they’re being packed into cars, carried on flights, and included in holiday itineraries the way newborns once were. But while demand is skyrocketing all across the world, India’s hospitality industry is a tad slow... and is still catching up — and here’s why Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz believes that the time has come for a pet-friendly makeover in India.
In an exclusive interview, Heal Your Paws compassionate animal whisperer and Co-Founder, Zai Tandan talks to Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, about her inspiring journey, her dreams for HYP, and the beautiful bond she shares with animals. In this candid and light-hearted chat, Zai opens up about the heartfelt journey behind Heal Your Paws, the challenges and triumphs along the way, and the beautiful vision she has for the future — for both pets and the people who love them.
There's good news for animal lovers and caregivers, feeding stray animals is a law now. Even RWAs are expected to make sure the animals in their vicinity are well-fed. There have been many instances where some people were assaulted while they were feeding stray dogs and cats. The new law puts a stamp on this kind of act and therefore has come as a welcome change. Street Dogs of Bombay shared the good news of ABC Rules 2022 being notified by the government on their Instagram page. Celebs welcome the new law.
