Bio: Meet Marcquis Davis, a resilient soul who embarked on a journey to rebuild her life in 2019. In the face of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges, she navigated the loss of her stillborn son and the dissolution of her marriage, all within a mere 90 days. Amidst this turmoil, Marcquis found comfort and companionship in her beloved dog, Mina, affectionately known as her fur baby.
Post-divorce, Marcquis not only retained custody of Mina but wholeheartedly embraced the role of a devoted pet parent. Applying her nurturing instincts, akin to caring for a human child, she tended to Mina's dietary needs, behavior, health, and medical requirements. This unique experience sparked the development of a set of skills and services within her family's business.
Given the chance to implement fresh ideas and renovations, Marcquis expanded the business to cater to a broader community beyond its original scope. In the challenging year of 2020, amidst a global pandemic, she transitioned from a flight attendant to a successful business owner and adept dog whisperer. Today, her business comprises a pet supply store, grooming salon, pet hotel, and a line of natural products, ranging from grooming supplies to dog food.
Marcquis's commitment extends beyond business success; she actively collaborates with various doctors to provide affordable preventative care for the community. Striving to bridge the gap between over-the-counter products and veterinary services, she emphasizes education to empower her clients and customers.
Inspired by her parents' timeless motto, "We have the feed to fit your need," coined 21 years ago, Marcquis has successfully manifested her vision. Though the past five years may seem like a blur, they've uncovered a niche and an ikigai that brings out the best in her. Mina, her loyal canine companion, played a pivotal role in saving her life, and Marcquis holds her son as an angel watching over from the sky.
Looking ahead, Marcquis eagerly anticipates the next five years, driven by a passion for providing affordable pet care and making a positive impact in the community through her entrepreneurial journey.
