Family, Pets, and Perseverance: The Heart Behind Jo's Pet Deals
🌈 Family, Pets, and Perseverance: The Heart Behind Jo's Pet Deals
Life doesn't always go as planned. I learned that the hard way, losing my mum just before my 14th birthday. Suddenly, I found myself growing up overnight—caring for my little sister and holding us both together. Those early years taught me resilience and the importance of family, something that still shapes everything I do today.
From a young age, I worked hard, faced challenges, and lived through pain—both physical and emotional. After an accident left me with lasting injuries, I learned what it meant to keep going, even when it hurts.
Through all of it, one thing has always been my anchor: the love of animals. Jessie and Bernie, my two loyal companions, were there through some of the toughest times of my life. Their unconditional love, goofy smiles, and quiet understanding pulled me through more days than I can count.
Just two weeks ago, I said goodbye to Bernie. Losing him has left an emptiness in my home and in my heart. Pets don't just fill our lives—they become family. Remembering them is one of the most important ways we can honor the joy they gave us.
🌟 Why Pet Memorials Matter
When we lose a beloved pet, the grief is real. A small memorial keepsake can bring comfort during that journey, offering something tangible to hold onto. Whether it's a piece of remembrance jewelry, a night light, or a keepsake box, these tributes remind us that love never fades.
That's why I created the Pet Memorials, Keepsakes & Gifts Collection — a space for gentle, meaningful ways to remember our furry family members.
🐾 Thoughtful Gift Ideas for Pet Lovers
Here are a few special items from the collection:
💜 Heart Locket — Keep your pet close to your heart with this elegant keepsake.
🕯 Custom Photo Night Light — A comforting glow to bring peace on difficult nights.
🌹 Memorial Urns & Jewelry — Beautiful, lasting tributes for dogs and cats.
🎁 Personalised Keepsakes — Thoughtful gifts for friends or family members who are grieving.
Each piece is chosen with love and care, crafted to be more than just a product—it's a memory, a tribute, and a reminder that pets truly are family.
💜 My Mission Behind Jo's Pet Deals
My sister has always stood by me, showing that family is about more than big gestures—it's about being there in the quiet moments, too. And for the past four years, my partner Brian has been my rock, supporting me through every struggle and encouraging me to keep building this dream.
Jo's Pet Deals isn't just a shop. It's a way to share the kindness I've experienced with pets and their people. Every product I select is something I'd choose for Jessie, Bernie, or any pet I love—thoughtful, practical, and comforting.
One of my favorite reviews came from Ellen, a customer who touched my heart:
"Jo was amazing to work with to help resolve the missing part to the dog sprinkler I purchased from Jo's Pet Deals. She went above and beyond to send me the proper part so my dog Timber could enjoy his sprinkler. She made a real connection and made us feel like her personal friends. Hands down the best service anywhere. Jo's Pet Deals will always be the first place I look for pet products. You won't want to shop anywhere else!"

Moments like these remind me why I do what I do. It's not just about selling products—it's about connection, kindness, and community.
