About Us
Why Soul and Spirit?
We pride ourselves on providing quality pet products. Our journey began with a mission: to address the unique needs of our furry friends while celebrating the rich tapestry of Mexican heritage in a fun and unique way.
The heart of our endeavor is embodied by my furry companion Nami, who’s faced severe reactivity issues. Upon noticing other dogs or people, she would immediately lunge and bark, leaving me feeling helpless. The treats we used for training all lost her interest after a short while. We were trying new treats all the time. Nami also suffers from gastrointestinal issues which made changing from treat to treat a nightmare. There were plenty of days where I would wake up in the middle of the night to the smell of something funky, only to realize she had an accident. This is when we delved into the realm of holistic pet nutrition. Using human-grade meats, we created treats that didnt trigger her gastrointesinal issues, and were motivating enough to make real and lasting progress in her obedience.
Inspired by our Mexican heritage, we embarked on a quest to infuse our products with the vibrancy and warmth of our culture through showcasing Alebrijes and sugar skulls on our design and packaging. Alebrijes (pronounced: ah-leh-bree-hez) are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. Alebrijes can be considered spirit animals that are here to guide you in this life and in the next.
Every aspect, from production to packaging, is meticulously managed by one individual, me! With a passion for holistic pet care and a deep appreciation for my heritage, I thank you for trusting me with your spirit animals and I hope you visit us again.
