Our Story
Pooja’s adventure began not with a plan, but with a heartwarming act of kindness. The rescue of Phoenix and Sam, two neglected dogs, marked the start of her unexpected journey. This act of compassion ignited a deep-seated passion for Holistic Pet Care, transforming her life and setting down on a path she never anticipated.
Pooja faced numerous hurdles in her quest to provide the best care for Phoenix and Sam. She delved into research, seeking out natural remedies and holistic care practices that could restore and maintain the health of her furry kids. The journey was fraught with trial and error, as she navigated the complexities of natural pet care, but Pooja’s determination never wavered.
Pooja’s commitment bore fruit, as she witnessed remarkable improvements in the health and happiness of Phoenix and Sam. This transformation was not just a victory for her pets but a life-changing revelation! Realizing that her passion for holistic pet care was more than just a personal mission; it was a calling that could benefit others.
Driven by this newfound purpose, she began sharing her knowledge and experiences with friends and family, who were equally inspired by the positive changes in Phoenix and Sam. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and it became clear that there was a broader need for natural and healthy pet care options.
With a desire to make a larger impact, Pooja founded Doggy Bag Co., along with her life-partner Prateik as a testament to their journey from rescuing two dogs to pioneering a holistic pet care movement. Their business was built on the principles of natural care, sustainability, and compassion, offering products and knowledge that reflected their commitment to improving the lives of pets.
Doggy Bag Co. became more than a business; it was a community for pet lovers who shared the couple’s vision for a healthier, happier world for their pets. Pooja and Prateik’s journey from rescuing Phoenix and Sam to founding Doggy Bag Co. is a powerful narrative of how passion, when fueled by purpose, can lead to meaningful change, not just in the lives of two pets, but in the pet care community at large.
