About Us

The Inspiration Behind Fido Pets

We didn’t start Fido just because we love pets.
We started it because we worry about them.

We saw it in our friends — the constant questions: “Is he getting enough exercise?”, “What if she runs off?” That quiet fear that never really leaves you.

Sure, in the West they chip pets. But to us, that felt too cold. Too clinical. Love shouldn’t need a needle.

And then one day, Jaeger — Ankush’s wife’s dog — ran into the forest and didn’t come back for hours. We searched, panicked, called his name over and over. But in vain!

He returned, finally. Shaken. Bleeding. But those hours? They were long and unbearable.

Fido was born from that helplessness. That deep love mixed with fear.

Because if you’ve ever looked at your furry companion and whispered “Please be safe”
you already know why we built this.
