Humans and animals share a unique bond that grows stronger day by day, and now, Vadodara’s pet parents have taken this connection to a whole new level. With the aim of fostering a deeper relationship with their furry companions and offering them a taste of the great outdoors, a trekking company in Vadodara co- owned by Priyanka Kapur and Sachin Gaikwad organized the city’s first-ever ‘Pet Parent Trekking’ event this past Sunday. The event witnessed an enthusiastic gathering of six dogs, accompanied by their devoted owners, as they embarked on an unforgettable journey through the scenic terrain near Pavagadh waterfall.
“As avid pet lovers and seasoned trekkers, we were inspired by a heartwarming experience during one of our expeditions in Manali, where we saw people adventuring with their beloved pets. This sparked the idea of organizing a similar event in our own city,” shared Priyanka.
So, if you’re seeking to strengthen your bond with your pet, improve their physical and mental well-being, and create unforgettable memories together, consider embarking on a trek into nature’s embrace with your furry companion. Just remember to prepare adequately, bring essential supplies, and ensure the trail is suitable for your pet’s abilities. With a little planning and enthusiasm, you and your pet can enjoy a rewarding adventure that will deepen your connection for years to come.
