Why did we create D.I.P.?

Dahlia’s Ideal Pets, born in early 2017, is the brainchild of Dahlia Bakshi, driven by a passion for animal companionship and the desire to spread joy. Dahlia initiated the journey by taking her beloved animals to parks, not only to socialize her furry friends but also to bring smiles to others.

As Dahlia continued to share these delightful moments, the positive response from people around her led to numerous inquiries about starting a business. After engaging in thoughtful discussions with her mother, a creative and heartwarming concept emerged – "D.I.P.," short for Dahlia’s Ideal Pets.

This venture was envisioned as a way to extend the joy of animal companionship beyond personal experiences and into the lives of others. Dahlia's commitment to creating happy moments and fostering a connection between animals and people is at the heart of D.I.P., making it a unique and cherished endeavor.

How do we care for our animals?

At our establishment, every animal is embraced with the utmost care and respect, receiving the royal treatment that may even be described as "spoiled rotten!" Our furry companions often come from college students who, due to various reasons, find themselves needing to part ways with their beloved pets, or they are discovered abandoned and in need of a loving home.

Our commitment to these animals goes beyond just providing a shelter; we ensure they are well-fed, maintain optimal health, and, most importantly, are genuinely happy. The transition from potentially challenging circumstances to a life filled with love and care is a journey we take seriously.

Through our efforts, we hope to not only give these animals a second chance but also to showcase the joy and fulfillment that comes from responsible and compassionate pet ownership. Our mission is to create a haven where animals thrive and where individuals can witness the transformative impact of love and proper care.
