Today I had the pleasure of speaking with the founders of Tripawds.com, Jim Nelson, and Rene Agredano. Jim and Rene are a husband/wife team who went through a painful experience when their dog, Jerry received a bone cancer diagnosis. They decided to travel and spend the last days of their dog’s life seeing some beautiful places. The experience took them around the world and they created a community with other pet owners who are going through a similar thing. They sell products that specifically serve pets with three legs and encouragement for the owners through their amazing community! 

Let’s dive into Jim and Rene’s story where unintentional events turned their passion and purpose into a full-time labor of love.
