The pandemic has gone to the dogs, and cats. Pet baker Shweta Batra of Doodle Over Poodle knows it too well. She bakes biscuits with doggie names. She makes mango, carrot and blueberry ice creams for the pooches. Getting a paw-sitive response are her cakes chicken carrot, chicken cheese, peanut butter carrot and even a banana coconut cake for vegetarians.
A not-so shaggy dog story goes thus: Once upon a time, young Shweta and Dhruv got married. They had a baby, which was named Doodle Over Poodle. The pair wished to share their happiness by offering the best quality pet services at reasonable prices. So they opened a pet business. They began by importing pet products and held exhibitions to get feedback from pet owners. The first Doodle Over Poodle was born in June 2019 in Punjabi Bagh, Delhi. It offered jacuzzi baths, massages and vet services for the hounds. Three months later, they opened a pet bakery in Neeti Bagh.
