Meet Prinz
My story began with humble beginnings. As the gentlest pup in my litter, I often waited for my siblings to eat before I took my turn, leaving me with little. At just six weeks old, I had to leave my dog family - it was my only chance to survive and thrive. That’s when my life changed forever. I met my hooman mommy, Lynne.
You might wonder how we met - it’s quite a tale! While my brothers and sisters quickly found new homes, I was the one no one seemed to want, until my mommy Lynne walked in. From the moment we saw each other, we knew we were soulmates. I stayed close to her, and then suddenly, I disappeared! Everyone started searching for me, but I was nowhere to be found! Then my mommy Lynne noticed her bag moving. When she looked into it, there I was - I had jumped right in and refused to come out! From that moment, it was clear we were meant to be together. From then on, we had an unbreakable bond!
Curiosity was in my nature, and I loved exploring everything - new sights, smells, and faces. With a heart full of kindness and a natural love for people, I was always eager to help and make everyone smile. Wherever I traveled, I was welcomed with love and forming friendships. My presence brought joy to all I met, leaving paw prints on hearts around the world.
In December 2022, my artistic journey began with a simple Christmas gift - my mommy had been searching for a special present for a family member and decided to try something unique: paw painting. What makes my art unique? My technique! I used my paws and worked with three different colors inspired by my tricolor fur. My travels, and the experiences, cultures, and nature I encountered along the way, inspired me to paw paint my masterpieces and became a reflection of my journey. And don’t worry - my paints are completely safe, paraben-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan, washable, dermatologically tested, and eco-friendly.
In May 2023, my mommy started my social media channels to share my art and give the world a glimpse into my life. Just two months later, in July 2023, we made the exciting decision to travel permanently. This was when I officially became the World’s First Traveling Paw Artist! Together, we visited many different countries, and I found endless inspiration for my Paw Art artwork through the beauty of nature, diverse cultures, and the incredible people we met along the way.
But my journey wasn’t just about art. It was important to me to help those who weren’t as lucky as I was. That’s why we created Paw Art by Prinz - to fight for animal rights and make the world a more pawtastic place. Through this channel, we aim to bring attention to important causes and inspire others to make a difference for animals everywhere.
My story also includes a mission close to my heart: holistic dog health. From the very start, I faced health challenges, and later, I was diagnosed with mitral valve disease. My mommy, determined to help me live my best life, became an expert in holistic care. She created a personalized holistic concept to support me, focusing on nutrition, natural supplements, and tailored care. Over time, others noticed how well I was doing and began asking my mommy for advice. That’s when we realized how many pet parents needed guidance and support. Through our journey, we began sharing knowledge about holistic dog health and healthy dog food to help as many dogs (and their humans) as possible.
Our mission didn’t stop there. As my mommy always wanted me to stay healthy, I needed a safe and comfortable bed, but she couldn’t find one that met her standards. So, she decided to create it herself! After more than three years of development, my mommy and I co-founded bedinz, where we designed the world’s first non-toxic dog bed.
This innovative bed, inspired by me, promotes relaxation, reduces stress, is orthopedic and supports overall health for pets. And don’t worry - it’s all Prinz-approved! I personally tested every dog bed (and yes, even the ones for humans). 😊 Over time, we expanded our designs to include non-toxic furniture for humans too. This flagship product is a part of my legacy, symbolizing our dedication to improving the lives of animals and their families.
Meet Lynne
This community has become a haven where we celebrate the unconditional love of furry friends, advocate for animal rights, and support one another through life’s highs and lows. Prinz’s art, combined with his heartwarming story, has touched countless lives, raising awareness for important causes and inspiring positive change worldwide.
I’ve always been passionate about supporting animals and protecting the environment. My goal has always been to help those who can’t help themselves - whether it’s advocating for animal rights, raising awareness about environmental conservation, or creating spaces where animals and people alike can thrive.
Due to my own experiences, I’ve always been very health-conscious.
My journey into holistic health began long before Prinz entered my life. Having faced my own health challenges, I developed a passion for natural and holistic approaches to wellness. When Prinz joined me, I expanded this knowledge to give him the healthiest and happiest life possible. Over the past 16 years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding holistic dog health, non-toxic solutions, and creating pathways for furry friends struggling with health challenges. This passion not only helped Prinz thrive but also inspired me to help other animals and empower those who care for them.
Beyond Paw Art by Prinz, Prinz inspired another incredible project - bedinz - a brand we created together. The name, a blend of "bed" and "Prinz," reflects its origins in our story. When I couldn’t find a safe, non-toxic bed for Prinz, I decided to design one myself. After years of research and development, bedinz was born. Our flagship product, the world’s first non-toxic dog bed, was created to provide pets with a safe, comfortable and orthopedic place to rest while promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and supporting overall health. Over time, we expanded to include non-toxic furniture for humans as well. bedinz is part of Prinz’s lasting legacy and embodies our commitment to improving the lives of animals and their families.
Sadly, in July 2024, Prinz embarked on his next great adventure in heaven. Though he’s no longer physically by my side, his spirit continues to guide me every day. From his fluffy cloud, Prinz is still spreading love, inspiring kindness, and working to make the world a pawtastic place. Here on earth, I carry forward the work we started together, honoring his legacy and ensuring his mission and impact live on.
Losing Prinz has been one of the greatest challenges of my life. Through the countless messages I’ve received from others sharing their own stories of love and loss, I’ve realized how deeply pet loss touches us all. This understanding inspired me to create the
Paw Art by Prinz Memorial Talk - a space for comfort, connection, and understanding. It’s my way of honoring Prinz’s memory while helping others navigate their grief and celebrate the incredible bond we share with our furry friends.
With Prinz watching over us from above and all of you standing by my side, we’re working together to create a brighter, kinder world for animals, their families, and the environment they call home. Thank you for being part of this incredible and pawtastic journey. ❤️
