🌟 North Star (Long-term Goal)

To build the most trusted and impactful pet product marketplace in Europe — a platform that not only offers a wide selection of high-quality goods for pets but also empowers every customer to make a difference. With every purchase, we contribute to the well-being of animals in need by donating a portion of profits to animal shelters, and in the future, enabling seamless direct donations. Our vision is to become the go-to destination for conscious pet owners who care about their pets and the world around them.
