As an owner of a Labrador, Monil Sharma often found himself wishing that he and his pet could enjoy exploring shopping malls together just as effortlessly as any other family member. "As responsible pet owners, it's important for us to expose our pets to different environments and people. Pet-friendly malls allow pets to become more comfortable and well-behaved in various settings," he said. Well, there's good news for Monil and pet parents like him.
Responding to the increase in the number of pet parents in India, shopping malls have begun opening their doors not only to enthusiastic shoppers but also their pets.
"Progressive mall developers should contemplate the creation of pet-friendly spaces to nurture a loyal customer base among pet parents. If our target audience is majorly pet owners, it only makes sense to broaden our approach and allow pets in as well," said Manoj Singh, Vice President, Forum Mall at the Shopping Centres Next 2023 event held in Bengaluru.
Ajith Khemka, Manager, Vega City Mall, said, "We see 200-300 pet owners walking in with their pets on a monthly basis. The numbers are quite high on weekends."
