The Frenchie™ Story
Inception
The base of the brand Welcome to Frenchie™, affection, pride, and a willingness to adapt are the cornerstones of our brand. Founded by a passionate Father & Son duo with a deep love for dogs, our company builds on this love, enhancing the lives of pets with high-quality, stylish products.
The Beginning
Frenchie™ was born out of a deep-rooted passion for dogs, inspired by the founders’ aunt and uncle, Francois and Bettie Lotz. Growing up on a farm, the founders were deeply influenced by Francois’s dedication and entrepreneurial spirit.
Francois and Bettie tragically passed away during the pandemic but their legacy is not forgotten. The founders inherited their beloved dogs, Miss Pretty and Baron, who became the parents of Francois, the Frenchie in the top left picture of this page. This inheritance ignited the idea to start a business that would honor their legacy.
Frenchie Start
The journey of Frenchie™ began with a focus on high-quality pet products inspired by the founders’ experiences on the farm. Drawing on the lessons learned from Francois and Bettie, they aimed to create products that reflected the same dedication to quality and care.
Frenchie Steps
Frenchie™ first started with the development of pet steps. However, the first set of steps was a complete disaster. Despite this initial setback, the founders persisted, learning from their mistakes and continuously improving their products.
Frenchie™ Trademark
At the beginning of 2024, Frenchie™ became a registered trademark. This marked a significant milestone in the brand’s journey, as it moved towards developing a range of high-quality pet products, including beds, car seats, and more.
Development and Production
With the trademark registered, Frenchie™ focused on the development and production of new products.
By June 2024, the first stem of the brand, called Frenchie™ Paws, was ready for launch. This new line includes stylish and comfortable pet items, designed to enhance the lives of pets and their owners.
Launch of Frenchie™ Paws (June 2024)
Frenchie™ Paws officially launched in June 2024, offering a range of innovative and aesthetically pleasing pet products.
This launch marked the beginning of a new era for Frenchie™, as the brand continues to expand and innovate in the pet care industry and beyond….

The story of Frenchie™ is ongoing, with continuous innovation and a steadfast commitment to providing the best products for pets and their owners.
The journey, much like the founders’ family’s legacy, is about passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
