The event requires attendees to bring a bag of pet food as entry, which will be donated to the local animal shelter to help over the cold winter. Care Bears members have also been knitting pet blankets to contribute.
The event will feature a mini pageant, where furry friends can show off their stylish outfits and compete for prizes.
Sukdev added that the Paw Parade event is part of a larger initiative to promote community engagement and animal welfare in Cedar Lakes Lifestyle Estate.
'We will be hosting a food drive for Mandela month as well.'
