CHENNAI: Tired of preparing food for your dog after a long day at work? Now you can get home-made food for your dog delivered at your doorstep. This initiative, launched by Pet and Me, offers both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and has kicked off operations in Adyar.

These dog-friendly gravies are priced between `60 and `120, and can be mixed with rice or rotis. They are adequate for two meals. “We noticed that processed dog food has been reducing the life span of dogs. So, we wanted to provide pet owners a healthy alternative for their dogs,” said G Niranjan, co-founder of Pet and Me.

The gravies are loaded with omega 3,6,9 fatty acids and are devoid of spices used for making food for humans. “We noticed that most people feed their dogs the same food they eat. Certain spices such as chilly powder and salt are harmful for dogs,” he said.

He claimed that the recipes of the gravies which include potatoes, carrots, and peas have been developed over a year and was received well by dogs across breeds. In the Pet and Me dog meet-up organised on Saturday at Besant Nagar, pugs, labradors and German shepherds licked their bowls clean when they were fed the gravies with rice.

“Not only are gravies healthy and fresh, dogs also seem to enjoy the taste,” said Mackson Iverson, a resident of the city who took part in the dog meet-up with his pug.Dog owners can avail the gravies at a day’s notice by placing the order.

CHENNAI: Nine years after four of a family were made to travel standing in the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) from Chennai to Vedaranyam, despite having confirmed tickets, a city consumer forum directed the State Express Transport Corporation to provide a compensation of Rs 36,000 to the passenger.

According to the petition submitted by A Abdul Ajeez, a resident of Porur, in 2010, he had booked prior tickets for eight of his family members to travel to Vedaranyam. However, on the day of travel, he found after boarding, that the seating capacity of the entire bus was only 40 seats but he was provided with seat numbers till number 44.

The passenger had booked tickets two days in advance by paying a sum of Rs 1,155 from number 36 till 44. With the conductor denying the seats to four of his family members, they were forced to travel standing for the complete distance of 350 km till Vedaranyam. This was submitted in the petition.

Undergoing harassment from the conductor and also being an arthritis patient, A Abdul Ajeez submitted a petition at the District Consumer Redressal Forum Chennai South, seeking a compensation of Rs 2 lakh along with the ticket charges and medical expenses.

Countering the allegations, the counsel for State Express Transport Corporation (SETC) said that at the last moment, the timekeeper informed the conductor that passengers of another vehicle were to be accommodated in his bus, which was also informed to the passenger.

That the passenger was also made to travel in the same bus by adjusting with other co- passengers, was submitted by the counsel for SETC at the forum.

However, based on the documents submitted, M Mony, president of the Forum, directed the SETC to pay a compensation of Rs 36,203 including the ticket value, the medical expenses and for the mental agony caused to the passenger.
