About us

Who We Are

I run Petsforyou myself, María, from Cerezal de Aliste, a town in Zamora.

There are five of us at home: Mango, Zara and Maya, who are Portuguese Water Dogs; Cloe, the cat who rules over the three of them; and me.

This store was born during a few months when I was ill and spent a lot of time at home. I had time to think, and I decided to try something I had always seen as out of my reach: opening a store on my own. I relied on new artificial intelligence tools for everything I didn't know how to do. And even in what I do know—animals—I had to learn: how to care for species I was unfamiliar with, and what people on social media taught me when they corrected me when I made a mistake.

I wanted the project to reflect a little bit of me and my vision of the world. I wanted it to have a universal purpose: to reach everyone, wherever they may be, and to connect customers and suppliers from anywhere. A small attempt to overcome differences and geopolitics. There are things beyond our control, but we can work on the will to be a little bit of everyone and for everyone, starting with the small realities of our lives.

I also wanted to raise awareness about animal life. Animals are creatures that suffer too, and often because of us. There are people who still lack the sensitivity to realize that they are not things: they are beings who, much like us, feel. They feel the loss of their loved ones, they feel pain, they feel abandonment. That is why both the store and the social media accounts are focused on reducing that pain and raising awareness. On social media, there are posts designed to help us put ourselves in the shoes of our animal brothers and sisters and to create a bond that repairs the divide that exists today, so that more and more people will join us in making creation a whole in which they also have their place.

What You Can Expect From Me

Kindness toward everyone.

Full attention. I will always look for the best way to ensure you are satisfied.

Clear and honest prices. There are no inflated prices: they are what they are because of current circumstances and geopolitics. But if the supplier lowers the price, I lower the price. And if shipping becomes cheaper, I lower it too. Free shipping throughout Spain and to almost all of the European Union, with no minimum purchase.

Honest delivery times. If something takes two weeks to arrive, it will say so before you buy. I would rather tell you than have you be surprised.

And if you write, I will answer. There is no customer service center. It's me.

I am not a large retailer. I am a person with four animals at home choosing things I would buy for them.
