Zigly Hosts Successful Wagathon in Hyderabad to Celebrate Pet-Parent Bonding and Raise Funds for Animal Welfare

Hyderabad, September 14, 2025: Zigly, the first tech-enabled omnichannel pet care brand in India, held its flagship Wagathon at the Jubilee Hills’ Zigly Experience Center. The purpose of the event was to foster fitness, camaraderie, and the joy of pet ownership by bringing together passionate pet owners and their furry friends for an exciting walkathon.

The Wagathon kicked off at 7:00 AM, with registration and kit distribution, where attendees were given water bottles and Zigly caps.  The energetic one-kilometer walk started at the Zigly Experience Center at 7:30 AM, circling back to the starting point.  The event with 80+ participants, transformed into a lively and vibrant celebration of Hyderabad’s pet community by the enthusiasm and energy of the pets and their parents.

In recognition of their role in making the Wagathon a huge success, participants in Hyderabad received certificates, medals, and trophies. The event was preceded by a highly successful Bengaluru Wagathon, where the flash sale initiative was very well-received.

“We are immensely grateful to all the pet parents in Hyderabad whose love and support made the event a grand success. This initiative mirrors our unswerving commitment to support the greater cause of animal welfare. Zigly’s Wagathon initiative is more than just an event; it is a vibrant celebration of the unbreakable bond between pets and pet parents,” said Mr. Pankaj Poddar, Group CEO, Cosmo First.

In line with its mission to make a difference beyond pet care, Zigly announced that nearly ₹ 1 lakh was raised through the Wagathon initiative, with 110+ people contributing to the cause. The proceeds were then handed over to Zigly Foundation towards supporting animal welfare efforts, reinforcing Zigly’s commitment to creating a more compassionate ecosystem for pets and animals alike.

One of Zigly’s numerous community-led events, the Wagathon, aims to unite pet parents, raise awareness, and encourage responsible pet ownership. With its growing network of experience centres across India, Zigly continues to provide a one-stop destination for all pet care needs – from food and grooming to veterinary services and accessories.
