The Beginning
The PetPumps Story
AleÌ‚ and Kevin love their two dogs, Mr. Max and Oreo, like family. However, they didn’t enjoy the stress that came with trying to give their dogs vitamins. Forcing a pill down their little dogs' throats or attempting to hide it in peanut butter or a piece of hot dog only to have it spat out was a daily struggle. This stressful routine not only created tension but also took away from the joyful moments they shared with Mr. Max and Oreo.
​
That's why Alê and Kevin set out to develop a vitamin delivery system that transformed the most stressful time between pet and pet parent into an easy, fun, and delicious playtime. They accomplished that with PetPumps, a delicious, peppermint-flavored multi-nutraceutical that utilizes a revolutionary micro-spray system. With just a few pumps on Mr. Max and Oreo's gums, they receive their full day's vitamins effortlessly. This innovative solution has turned vitamin time into a bonding experience rather than a chore. Alê and Kevin are on a mission to help all dog parents around the world make this same change for their four-legged loved ones. And for cat owners, PetPumps is just as effective and enjoyable for feline friends too!
