Hi, I'm K. Marie Alto, fur mom, wife, writer, blogger, and the co-founder and Chief Fur Children Happiness Officer at Toe Beans.
After suddenly losing our first kitty to cancer and then in 2018 losing the second one to a combination of kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes, my husband recommended channeling my grief into something positive. He suggested I create a pet blog to share the lessons learned from my 20+ years of pet parenting.
He also thought it was a great idea to create a Facebook page to reach more pet parents with my message. A month later, we had more than 1,000 followers relating to our stories and sharing their own experiences.
It was sometime after that point that we decided to use that platform to promote cat and dog adoptions and bring a little bit of happiness to other furry children. We created a biweekly pet parent giveaway; one for cat parents and another for dog parents.
We strongly believe a life-long process of exposure to toxins significantly contributed to our furry children getting sick. With most of these toxins being absorbed via contact with food and toys. While giveaways were a small way to make a difference, we felt we needed to do more.
Toe Beans® was founded in 2018 with one mission: To improve the life of every fur child and their parents’.
HAPPY FURRY CHILDREN MAKE HAPPY PEOPLE
“There is nothing stronger than the power of joy and happiness animals bring to our lives.”
At Toe Beans, this philosophy is our driving force. In return, we strive to improve the life of every fur child with every product that arrives at your doorstep.
