About Us

Inspired by her dedication to spoil pets and driven by the spirit of entrepreneurism, Maria Pietroforte founded Prissy Dog LLC™ from the home office of her suburban Los Angeles home in 2007. Maria had a successful corporate career. Then the time came to rethink her career. Maria hated leaving her dogs to go away on business trips and that office policies often were not pet friendly. She wanted a career that would allow more balance in her life, more time with her dogs, and where she could create a business culture and work environment that would invigorate people.

Her experience as a president to multimillion dollar companies and her passion to make a difference for animals and people motivated her to create Prissy Dog. She came up with a simple plan: offer designer quality pet accessories directly to consumers through in-home parties performed by a sales force of "Prissy Dog Consultants." Not forgetting those who love their pets, Maria designed a line of accessories for the pet parent too!

With the support of her husband, Horst, and two dogs, Prissy and Max, Maria put her plan into action. Her unfailing commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and opportunities is woven into the very foundation of Prissy Dog. Many of the Prissy Dog Consultants are pet owners who have been empowered to develop lucrative businesses while staying home to spoil their pets, manage their households and enjoy life.

Prissy Dog brings pets and people together, not only through its direct-selling opportunity, but also through its Prissy Dog Parties. Maria believes "When people have a pet, they experience unconditional love and friendship that will change their life." Her philosophy about the importance of the family pet has shaped and guided Prissy Dog from the very beginning.
