A personal story of love, loss, and finding a better way.
Queen and Ace, the dogs who inspired NurturedPet.
Ace was a Yorkiepoo, AKC pedigree, 17 beautiful years.
He was more than a pet. He was there for my wife through traumatic times, through her own sickness, through the hardest moments of life. He was her anchor.
Between Ace and Queen, who has heart disease, we were suddenly managing fourteen different medications, each on its own schedule. Some nights we’d be up at 2am giving Ace his medicine. Every app we tried felt like a clinical compliance tracker, not a tool for exhausted caregivers.
Ace passed at 17. Queen still needs us. So we started building NurturedPet, the app we wished had existed. My wife saw what it was becoming and said I should share it with other pet parents. That’s when it became something bigger.
