\u201cA<\/span>s a pet parent, if I were to tell you that there was a way to extend your pets\u2019 lives, for maybe three years more, would you not want to shift immediately to a home-styled diet?\u201d asks Ishmeet Singh Chandiok, founder of Harley\u2019s Corner, a ready-to-eat-moist dog food aims to do just that.<\/p>\n

Born into a Parsi-Sikh household, Ishmeet says that furry friends and food were always an integral part of his growing up years. One of the earliest memories that Ishmeet has of a furry companion is of Goldie, \u201ca nice big fellow\u201d on whose back Ishmeet, as a child, often rode. He also remembers how, in the days before packaged dog-food, the pets at home would be fed whatever the family ate.<\/p>\n

Recently, when he was observing the eating patterns of his pet Harley, these memories came back to him during his Eureka moment when he created Harley\u2019s Corner.<\/p>\n

While dogs were always a part of his big ancestral home in Pune, in Mumbai where Ishmeet grew up, a smaller home denied him the chance to have a dog at home. Speaking about how Harley came into his life, Ishmeet says, \u201cIt was around 2009 when I was working with Kingfisher when Harley made his entry into my life. It was at a construction site near the office when I first saw Harley. Surprisingly, around this time I was also looking to adopt a puppy.\u201d More than Ishmeet choosing Harley, he says that it was the other way around.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few rounds to the construction site and this little fellow [Harley] would keep trying to chew on my laces and tug at my trouser,\u201d says Ishmeet. Initially, the puppy that Ishmeet chose to bring home was not Harley. But, he says, all that tugging went straight to his heart and that\u2019s how Harley came into his life.<\/p>\n

For Ishmeet, Harley was the first pet of his own. While there were many pets in his ancestral home when he was growing up, this was the first time that he was solely responsible for the pet. \u201cBeing a first-time pet parent, like many others, I also took whatever my vet and the dog store owners said to be gospel truth,\u201d says Ishmeet. So like a majority of pets in India, Harley was also given the regular pellets to begin with.<\/p>\n

\u201cI noticed that Harley would avoid the pellets and wait for us to finish our meal so he could get leftover scraps from us.\u201d<\/h2>\n
