How it all began
Since I was little, I have always felt a special love for animals and especially for dogs. These furry four-legged creatures have accompanied me throughout my life, giving me that unconditional love that only those who have had a dog know what it is. I have always liked to take care of them, pamper them, I love their company, I have always been very happy with them.
When my last dog, Phoenix, left me, he left a tremendous void that lasted five years. I thought I would never have another dog in my life, so I wouldn't have to suffer his loss again. But those of us who love animals know that we say this but we don't follow through, and after those five years of solitude, a shy and fearful black furry animal appeared in my life that would revolutionize and brighten my days again.
My name is Laura, I was born in a beautiful town in the east of Spain with a long tradition of shoemaking. I grew up with the smell of the fine leathers that my father used in his company to make high-quality shoes that I and thousands of boys and girls around the world wore from childhood until my adolescence.
I studied Business Administration and Management at the University of Alicante and when I finished I joined the family business. They were difficult years, in which my father taught me, among many other things, to be perseverant despite the obstacles. And without me knowing it, all that learning, for which I am so grateful to my father, would help me forge the future I always wanted.
In life, everything has a beginning and an end, and when my time as a shoemaker came to an end, as I always had entrepreneurial blood, I decided to create my own online company. I began to train myself according to new technologies. It was like studying a career again, so many things to learn, but all very interesting and fun.
And what would my company be about if it wasn't related to dogs? It couldn't be any other way and by chance one day, walking with Peppo, I realized that the bags they sold for collecting poop were so bad... that I thought: How I would like to have a good bag, resistant, scented and if it were ecological it would be incredible, in short, a hygienic and environmentally friendly bag at the same time.
And that's how I started this wonderful path of entrepreneurship that I had always wanted and my company Peppo and Pets was born.
I leave you a photo of me with Peppo, the culprit of all this wonderful mess.
A big hug to all of you who love and respect animals and a big lick from Peppo.
