Ep 12: Sustainable HappyBond Dogs
Dogs do so much for us and we have the honor of caring for them and giving them a good life. When today’s guest realized her beloved English bulldog had arthritis in his shoulder, she used her biotech engineering expertise to create a collagen supplement to help his joints feel better. And it worked!
She created a startup called HappyBond that makes and sells human-grade supplements and food for our four-legged friends. Then she partnered with Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan to get the word out about it.
I love her commitment to quality and sustainability, and I admire her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to making life better for animals. I’m so honored to talk with Anja Skodda and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

She reminds us of all the jobs our dogs have these days, especially during the pandemic.
"They're helping us so much. I think many people wouldn't have made it through the pandemic without the companionship of a dog or cat."
Anja’s Tips
Give your dog a job and let them follow their passion.
Supplement with collagen early to build healthy joints early.
Dogs are living longer so we have to take good care of them.
Is Anja optimistic?
Yes, because we’ve seen that people can take action (example: covid). The younger generation also gives her hope. They really care about the planet.
