Industry Speak

When was Captain Zack founded and what was
your vision behind forming it?
Captain Zack is a brand under the parent company Em
& Em that manufactures personal care products for
humans. It was launched one and a half years ago and
is a love story of true friendship between me and my
Labrador, Zack, who is indeed a charismatic leader. Zack
is a real Alpha, who likes to lead and I’ve observed that
other animals actually take his lead and follow him.
Being a part of the cosmetics industry for a long time, I
wanted to create a line of grooming products for dogs that
would be void of any harmful chemicals and completely
safe for their use. Most companies manufacturing pet
grooming products in our country are only here to mint
money. Th ey don’t care about the eff ect these products
might have on the dog’s skin. Most of these companies
manufacture cheap, low quality products which are
not up to the mark and can cause a number of allergic
reactions in dogs. Come to think about it, a dog’s skin is
more alkaline than a human’s and most of the shampoos
and other products in the market are too acidic to be
used on dogs. Th ey can cause allergic reactions, hair fall,
fungal infections and discomfort to the dog.
So, aft er conducting a great deal of research and
experimentation, we devised an exclusive range of
paraben free , vegan pet friendly products for dogs that
are safe to use and keeps their skin in good health. Our
aim is to off er premium quality grooming products for
pets that will go a long way in promoting their health.

Are you a dog/animal lover?
What are the names of your pets?
Oh yes. I live in a family comprising of one dog and six
cats- Zack (Labrador) 10 years old, Zoey- Persian Cat, 6
years old with her two boys- Boris and Gunther, 4 years
old, Sylvester,2 years old, a stray with paralysis (his leg
was crushed by a truck)- Ginger , also a stray who is the
best of the lot ;she is also the naughtiest but my favourite
and Smokey, a smoke coloured cat who was rescued from
a family as he was being traumatized.
We also have a foundation for animals called Welove
Animals Foundation working for the wellbeing of all
kinds of animals. Th e foundation is involved in rescue
operations, adoption, medication and feeding animals.
