Midoricide’s concept came from a place of intense care for better health. If anything, the pandemic showed us how valuable it is to care for our health, mind, and family. It requires us to be strong advocates for our well-being more than ever before. In 2017, two engineers discussed the type of raw materials used in ingredients today, quality of ingredients, and how certain chemical products impact our health.

The analogy of the model unit of family typically involves people and their pets. It’s known that the spread of skin disorders can migrate from pets to humans. An example would be the attachment of certain ticks which are known carriers of Lyme and other diseases, to individual people or pets. Highly contagious Sarcoptic mange (scabies) is a skin disorder transferable between dogs and their humans. Everyone has a story. I encourage you to read about me to know my “why” for Midoricide. I am so excited about the future and what we have brewing for this brand!

 

Once Upon a time…..

In a small town, 5 dogs, an enormous veterinary bill and strong harsh treatment options. Unfortunately, even with the concentrated nature of these chemicals, they didn’t resolve the issues and I watched as their health continued to digress rapidly. All given "tablets- the pill" to help against ticks, fleas & mite. They were never the same. Different strong medications being applied with no resolution in sight. I remember Lorenzo's eyes till today. That soft gaze that she would give to me and how I felt. At that time, my father would say call back the VET! "Why are they not improving?". I saw defeat set in and they never improved -1990s. The resources that we have now was not available. With increasing advocacy to provide better health and naturally, I am excited about the future. There's still a lot to be done.

The objective still remains that providing safer options to get rid of pests without negatively affecting their overall health will always be the best alternative. Consistency in use of plant-based products, nature's resources, continuous maintenance, and diets are critical subjects to achieving significantly improved pet wellness.

Going back to “Care”. I thought, how can I care using natural resources and my research background to be a change agent? An advocate for better sourcing and formulation of better products for pet skin and coat care. Imagine thinking about that at age 11, then age 14, and age 17. Scrolling through medical books were easy as I was surrounded by cousins who were in medical school and my path originally was to become a doctor. With “wide- eyes” listening, I dreamt of creating solutions. I was sad that they had suffered like that. I would finish chemistry textbooks, over and over. Studied different sciences trying to be in the position to impact change and heavily encouraged by my father.

An earth-shattering change occurred at 19 with the sudden loss of my father. My mom was immediately a widow with 6 kids. My youngest sibling was only 7 years old.  My father was a dynamic individual who was extremely compassionate, an entrepreneur himself, caring and generous to so many including his family because he “cared”. In his home-town, as multitudes of people gathered for his funeral, we overheard cultural and sometimes scorning statements like, “who is going to “care for you and the community the way he did?” “Your life is over”.

There was no father to be the guardian and protector like he always was. I immediately remembered the strength of his words, “you can do anything you put your mind in, "I believe in you", and " You are a guardian", " The first born"... That always meant to me to lead by example. At minimum, more than a decade of positive self-affirmation from him. With every word from my mom and dad, there was power and meaning to it. In trying times like that, it meant everything. I am inspired by his legacy of being a “guardian, the extent to which he cared for everything he touched by doing what I love. Being a "guardian" through the act of “vetting and sourcing", formulating plant-based product alternatives to care for pet health and people.

“Midoricide”- Using “GREEN” nature’s resource to “CARE”,  NOURISH ,“GUARD” against and ELIMINATE nuisance pests for improved pet wellness, and their humans.

"Midori"- Means Green Inspired by my work in Japan in the shizuoka region known as one of the green tea capital of the world. Lifestyle, wellness, low sugar culture, hardworking nature of the farmers tending the fields.

"Cide"- Means Kill. Inspired to using nature's best defense to guard or protect and eliminate them.

With over 36 years of engineering research/development and manufacturing skills, Midoricide carefully provides, a safer, gentle, nourishing, and effective care system for pet skin and coat care.

Midoricide is a Woman-owned & Minority Business.
