My dog, Aya, is my inspiration. I noticed a lack of good quality and non-toxic dog beds and pet gear in the market. That is when I decided to set out and create them myself.
How do you stay motivated?It's very rewarding and motivating to see customers write to us with their stories and photos of how our products have helped the quality of their pet's lives. That in itself makes it all worth it to keep pushing forward!
What would you do with the $25,000?We have been in business since May 2023, so a little over 1.5 years now. When we began, I was utilizing a family member's empty property to store and ship items from and then we moved into a large storage unit. Now as of January 2025, we have grown to the point of finally needing an official warehouse. I would use the $25,000 to help with the move into a warehouse space, as well as ordering more inventory.
