Our Story
Ahimsa Pets is not a company or a dog treat - it's a way of being.
Our founder, Parth - who is an Animal Scientist, explains the story below in his own words.
The Beginning
From the day I was born, all I can remember is having a passion for animals - from Lion King to The Crocodile Hunter, everything I did was with animals. It was a connection I was given rather than cultivated.
The Dream
In the 7th grade I declared I'd be a veterinarian and help all the animals I could. So I later went to Rutgers and got my Pre-Veterinary Medicine degree in Animal Science.
The Shift
I did a summer internship at a big cat sanctuary that changed my perspective on how I could help animals outside the typical hospital setting. And that's how I had my idea for Ahimsa Wildlife Foundation - a sanctuary for animals in need without a voice to fight for them.
The Idea
With my Animal Science degree, I thought of still helping our dogs and cats - using any profits from there to support the non-profit. And I saw a clear need of help in our pet's nutrition, including their treats. So the idea came to me to create a new and better dog treat via Ahimsa Pets.
The Missing Piece
Although I was born in America, my cultural roots from India played a pivotal role in helping create Ahimsa Pets. Growing up with holistic practices allowed me to bring those concepts into the new dog treat I was creating. Ahimsa means to care & to love - we are a lifestyle idea for those who truly want to care and love for their dogs naturally!
The Treat
And from all the above, our holistic dog treat was created with purposeful ingredients and herbs to help bolster our dog's health. A treat that finally cares for your dog with the same level of love you truly have for them. And this is only the beginning! Click below to see more!
