Our Story
Hi there, I’m Dominica, founder of Cuddypup, and this fluffy land cloud next to me is Chester — my emotional support specialist and work-life balance manager (which mostly means interrupting tasks for mandatory play and snack breaks).
Originally from China, I moved to the Netherlands to study art and design. After graduating, I showcased my work at exhibitions and even made it into the Dutch newspapers a few times — yes, you missed my 15 min of fame! :P
Fast forward to 2023: life threw me a plot twist - I lost my full-time job while 5 month pregnant with my second baby (10/10 do not recommend). It felt like the universe was pushing me to finally build something of my own — and that something became Cuddypup.
Blending my love for dogs with a background in art and design, I created Cuddypup as a place for modern, thoughtful (and maybe a little obsessed) dog parents who refuse to settle for ordinary, boring or ugly dog products.
From slow feeders and toys to treats and accessories, everything you’ll find here is handpicked with care, quality, and a little extra sparkle.
Right now, it’s just me behind the scenes - sourcing products, managing the website, marketing, customer service, packing orders - all powered by caffeine and stubborn passion.
I pour everything into this baby biz of mine, and it’s grown into this lovely, scrappy, heart-filled little thing that I’m sooo proud of.
And the love and support from this growing community has been the sweetest sprinkle on top.
Thanks for being here. I’m so happy you found us.
– Dominica, Big Boss of Cuddypup
