About HolistaPet: 

HolistaPet is a Los Angeles-based pet wellness company founded in 2017. Our focus early on was in Natural Products however over the years we have expanded our product line to include wellness supplements and accessories for dogs, cats and horses. 

We’ve also transformed the way we do business. Unlike the average company whose only objective is to sell goods, we’re trying to do good also. We’ve made a pledge to donate $1 from every product sold since January 1st of 2023 in perpetuity in an effort to end economic euthanasia. We love pets and are pushing to do our part in ethical sales to help rescue organizations around the U.S. in our shared mission. It’s our aim to provide access to useful education, research, and share real experiences and stories through our content and blogs. 

Our team is filled with big ambitions and we’re looking for an ambitious leader to join and help take our company to the next level. The bigger we can get, the more pets we can save!
