We’re kicking off the New Year with a conversation I had with Daniella Morgan-Pascualvaca, one of the key people at Mella Pet Care. I got to know Mella while speaking on a panel about influencer marketing for Leap Venture Studio last year. We also connected in person at SuperZoo in August. I thought this interview would be the perfect conversation to share this January because Mella is all about making it easier to keep your pet healthy.

Their first product to launch is an underarm pet thermometer that integrates with a mobile app. I order the thermometer and used it a bunch of times on Burt and Lucy in September to establish baseline healthy temperatures for them. I’m so happy I did because when Burt wasn’t feeling well in November I was able to take his temperature and have the peace of mind that he didn’t have a fever.

In our conversation, Daniella also shares a great story about how she got involved with Mella, going from intern to Chief of Staff, which I know you’ll find inspirational. She also hosts their podcast the Mella Moment, which I’ll be a guest on next month.
