"Pet Fed is India's biggest pet festival where people visit the venue with there pets, we have organised the festivals in three cities Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru and we are want to organise further in Chandigarh, Pune and Ahamadabad," Akshay Gupta, founder of Pet Fed said.

"I didn't have much interest in studies though I have completed my graduation from Hindu College I wanted to start something of my own so I thought that there is every type of event in India be it food, music, comics but none for pets then I executed this idea," he added.

"I like to stay backstage as I am not the centre of attraction but as long as pets are enjoying and people are enjoying I am happy, we have brought many exotic breeds too," Gupta told ANI.

People who visited the Pet Fed Mumbai enjoyed all the attraction presented there and fed there pets too.

"I am very amazed to see that something is happening for the pets at this level, I have been to many pet fairs like in Versova, the house where you have the monthly or annual meets, but this is something amazing I have witnessed for the first time and I wish my other was alive I would bring him here he was bigger dog that I have right now," Minty, a visitor said.
