HOW IT ALL STARTED
Hey, I’m Mike, the Founder of Breedera
I’ve always been passionate about animals. And I was lucky enough to work in my family’s veterinary equipment business, where I got to talk to all kinds of animal lovers and specialists.
But, one group of customers always stood out to me – dog breeders. I was amazed by the pride and passion of responsible breeders and quickly became curious about what it’s like to live that lifestyle.
As I spoke with more breeders, I noticed one thing was taking up a lot of their time – admin. Many tracked their dogs’ health with pen and paper or – at best – massive spreadsheets.
I knew I had to do something to help.
The early days of Breedera…
I met Chris, an experienced and skilled technical developer, and together – with a lot of grit and determination – we launched the earliest version of our app – PuppyFat. A simple weight-tracking app that became popular with a small community of forward-thinking, ethical breeders.
This fast-growing group of breeders helped shape Breedera into what it is today, giving hours and hours of their precious time for interviews, user testing and feedback.
Through this, we began to understand how we could not only improve the app but become a brand that provides something much bigger than just puppy weight tracking.
A brand that could provide real relief from breeder overwhelm.
Reducing breeder overwhelm
Over the last two years, we’ve been working hard to create an app that reduces admin overwhelm and makes managing your essential breeding records easy and rewarding.
I can’t wait to hear from you about what you think and how we can continue to help you get back to what you love most – caring for the wellbeing of everybody’s future pets.
