Our Story

Pup-lery by A. Valentino was inspired by my soul dog, Achylles Valentino, my beautiful chocolate-covered angel. Tragically, we lost him to heart failure in October 2021, which took a heavy toll on my mental health. 

After realizing how therapeutic it was to create these necklaces for my new pup and her friends, and a little push from a friend, I decided to begin this journey. As a way to ensure that Achylles' beautiful memory lives on, I have dedicated this entire concept to him. Every necklace that goes out includes a charm with his initials, so in a way, a little piece of him will be sent wherever these products sell. And that thought just warms my heart.

We hope you absolutely love your new necklace, we are sure your pet will look adorable. As always, please hug your pets (furry, feathery or scaley) extra tight and give them extra love. We never have them long enough.
