Today would have been Bella’s 12th birthday. 🐾🤍
This post has taken me a long time to write. Losing her a few months ago left a huge space in my life—and in this business—that simply cannot be filled. Bella was my best friend, soul dog, and truly the heart and inspiration behind everything we’ve built.
We got Bella when I was just 12 years old, and from the very first day, I was completely in love with her. She grew up alongside me, and in SO many ways, helped shape who I am today. From an early age I became more aware of what we were feeding her and realized I wanted better both for her and for dogs everywhere. That love is what sparked the beginning of Bella’s Pet Products.
Bella inspired every recipe, every decision, and every standard we hold ourselves to. She was the face of this company, but more importantly, she was its purpose. Her official title being the CTO (Chief tasting officer)
Bella completely changed my life in ways I never saw coming. What started as just wanting to give my dog something better turned into something that pushed pushed me far beyond my comfort zone. Because of her, I found the confidence to actually put myself out there, walk into rooms full of entrepreneurs as the youngest one there, and share a story that meant so much to me. She gave me the courage to take risks, build something of my own, and create a life and business with real purpose. Through Bella’s Pet Products, I’ve been able to not only support myself, but also give back to pet shelters and rescues. None of this would have happened without her. She didn’t just inspire a business, she helped shape who I am.
To everyone who has supported Bella’s Pet Products over the years—thank you. You’ve helped turn something so personal into something huge and meaningful, and you’ve allowed Bella’s legacy to live on in homes all over the country. What started as selling to only friends and family has now lead to selling in grocery stores, pet stores, boutiques, farm and home stores, and online. It has truly been an honor to build this business with my family and with Bella by our side every step of the way.
While she may not physically be here anymore, her impact never left. And it never will.
We promise to continue what she inspired us to start! To create the best, healthiest treats we possibly can and to bring joy, love, and care to your pets, just like she brought to us every single day.
Bella wouldn’t have wanted anything less. 🐶✨
Happy Birthday to our forever girl.�We love you always.
