Every pet parent knows that ‘take me too’ look; that soul-crushing moment when you just can’t, but have to, leave your furry friends behind. But, if you’re in Goa this Sunday, here’s how you can include your pets in your plans.
A heart-warming experience, ‘Sunday Brunch with Pets’, is taking place at Jugnu, Assagao, in collaboration with Heads Up for Tails. The event — all about good food, great company and wagging tails — ensures your pets don’t miss out on any of the fun.
“At Jugnu, we believe that our furry companions deserve just as much joy and celebration as we do. Collaborating with Heads Up For Tails was a natural fit. They share our love for pets and have the expertise to help us craft an experience that caters to both pets and their parents,” says Sandeep Salian, co-founder of Jugnu Goa.
The unique event offers a delightful mix of food, fun and hearty cuddles. Pet parents get the perfect chance to enjoy a relaxed, delicious brunch while their four-legged friends are pampered with treats, love and attention.
There are live tunes by Flossie, a sizzling live coal grill and a lot more. “We’ve curated a special menu just for pets with the help of Heads Up For Tails. Think wholesome, nutritious and tail-waggingly tasty treats — from dog-friendly, non-alcoholic beer and wine, to biryanis made with natural ingredients, there’s something for every good boy and girl,” shares Sandeep.
Apart from the specially curated pet menu, there’s plenty more to pamper your pets. Explore pet wellness and accessory stalls, let them cool off in the pet splash pool, and enjoy free pet hampers for all attending pet parents.
“We’ve got a fun splash pool set up where pets can cool off and play. It’s the perfect way for them to socialise, burn some energy and have a great time while their humans enjoy a relaxed Sunday brunch. Plus, we’ll have some toys and interactive zones to keep them engaged,” he reveals.
Goa has always been known for its free spirit, and Sandeep feels that spirit is now extending to pets, too.
“With more travellers wanting to bring their furry family members along, we see a big shift towards pet-friendly spaces — cafes, beaches and now brunches! Jugnu is proud to be part of this movement, creating spaces where pets aren’t just allowed, they’re celebrated,” he says.
The event has also been thoughtfully curated keeping Goa’s monsoon in mind. With covered seating, a relaxed ambience and dedicated pet-safe zones, both pets and their humans can enjoy the day in style, not forgetting those comforting cuddles.
“This event is the beginning of a beautiful bond, and yes, we definitely plan to make it a recurring series with more pet-centric events in future,” Sandeep says happily.
So, whether you're a dog lover, a cat parent, or simply someone who finds joy in the company of animals, ‘Brunch with Pets’ invites you to celebrate a day of unconditional love, connection and community.
