Our Story

Passion can feel like an elusive thing—we’re told to follow it, but discovering it isn’t always simple. For me, it took two furry companions to uncover mine: my dogs, Nala (left) and Elli (right).

Growing up, I never imagined I’d be a “dog person.” But last Christmas, as I watched Nala and Elli play in the yard, it hit me just how much they’ve changed my life. Suddenly, I wasn’t just a dog owner—I was a proud dog mom. My world revolved around vet visits, grooming appointments, dog parks, and cuddles on the couch. I realized how much joy, love, and meaning they bring to my everyday life, and I wanted to share that magic with others.

Nala and Elli are sisters from separate litters, but they’re as close as can be. Elli’s nickname, “Elli Bear,” started the day I brought her home, and it perfectly captures her sweet, snuggly nature. That nickname soon became the inspiration for something bigger: a space where pet parents like me can celebrate the unconditional love our pets bring us.

And so, Elli Bear was born.

Elli Bear isn’t just a website—it’s a community for those who see their pets as family. My mission is to help pet parents create rich, fulfilling lives with their furry companions through thoughtful tips, curated products, and a shared love for the bond we share with our pets.

Thank you for being part of the Elli Bear journey. Let’s celebrate every wag, woof, and snuggle together.
