Our Family

Hello and Welcome!

I’m Lauren – dog mum, founder of Riva’s Pups, and the heart behind the brand. Let me introduce our little pack: my husband Ryan, our spirited daughter Evelyn, and our furry crew – Riva, our cheeky Cavapoo and Chief Executive Pup (CEP), and Willow, our sweet new addition.

Riva is the face of our family business and full-time product tester. She’s got high standards—and isn’t shy about it! Willow, has taken on the role of Head of Quality Control (and unofficial PR pup), joining us at markets and charming everyone she meets.

Life with our crew is busy, chaotic, and full of love—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our Turning Point

In 2024, I had to leave a job I loved due to contract changes. It was a tough moment—but also a turning point. I’ve always been passionate about dog health and wellbeing, and with Ryan’s support, I decided to turn that passion into something real.

And so, Riva’s Pups was born—out of love, loss, and the dream of building something meaningful for our family and yours.

What We’re All About

This isn’t just a business—it’s family. Every product is tested by Riva, chosen with care, and shared with love. We're here to help your dog live a happy, healthy life—with natural treats, products, and essentials that truly make a difference.

Thank you for being here. We’re so happy to welcome you to the Riva’s Pups family.

With love,
Lauren (and Riva, our CEP 🐾)
