A Letter from Eric

Founder, La Petite Labs

I never planned to start a pet supplement company. I wasn’t looking for a brand. I was trying to solve a problem that felt personal—something that quietly unsettled me, then grew impossible to ignore.

It started with my daughter. The way she loved animals—not as toys or entertainment, but as beings. She was very small, but her instinct was already clear: care is sacred. Watching her interact with a stray kitten one day, I saw something I couldn’t unsee. This animal—half-starved, matted, a little wild—was still worthy of gentleness. Still worthy of dignity.

That word—dignity—stayed with me.

At the time, I had already spent years in human nutrition science. I understood cellular biology. I understood how food, over time, becomes structure, function, resilience. And when I looked at the products being sold for pets—cats and dogs who live in our homes, sleep beside us, trust us—I realized how broken the industry was.

Most pet supplements are built on marketing. Not science. Not precision. Not purity. Cheap inputs, vague claims, no accountability. Even the “premium” ones often rely on outdated formulations and cosmetic upgrades.

I knew what the gold standard looked like. I knew what optimal could mean. And I knew I wouldn’t feel right feeding any of it to the animals we say we love.

La Petite Labs began because I couldn’t justify compromise.

This company is not about trends. It’s not about maximizing margins. It’s about integrity—scientific, yes, but also moral. The way we care for the vulnerable—those who depend on us, who have no say in what we give them—reveals who we are.

I believe the animal body deserves respect. I believe beauty and nourishment should meet, even in a bowl on the floor. I believe in transparency, in third-party testing, in clean formulation without shortcuts. And above all, I believe love is expressed not just in affection, but in the daily, quiet choices we make when no one is watching.

This isn’t just a business to me. It’s an offering. A way of making good on a responsibility I feel deeply, both as a scientist and as a father.

If you’re here, reading this, then maybe you feel it too—that quiet pull toward better.

Thank you for your trust.
