Hi, I’m Nikki a seasoned professional with 32 years of experience in the corporate world, having held various leadership and strategic roles across the IT industry. After decades of driving business growth, fostering innovation, and navigating complex challenges, I made a bold transition to pursue a lifelong passion for dogs. Combining years of business acumen with a deep love for pets, I launched The Original Dog Mom (theoriginaldogmom.com), an online resource dedicated to providing goodies for both you and your fur-baby through a curated store, offering a fun and unique collection of products for dogs and dog lovers alike. From playful toys to stylish accessories, each item is carefully selected to bring joy to both pets and their owners.  Check out our store for dog bandanas, barkday boxes, memorial gifts and more!  Introducing our newest and most popular item, our new monthly subscription box!  

Follow us on the socials where I share expert tips on dog care, nutrition, health, and behavior, aiming to help dog owners nurture happy, healthy relationships with their furry companions. 

Driven by a desire to create a positive impact in the lives of dogs and their families, I am committed to building a community of passionate dog lovers while providing valuable resources for all stages of pet ownership. This new chapter blends professional expertise with personal passion, making a difference in the lives of dogs and their dedicated owners.
