SANGITA BATH
About me
I’m Sangita, the founder of Benni & Co.
I spent over 15 years working in corporate management and e-commerce leadership. Over time, I realized I wanted to build something that felt more personal — something creative, community-focused, and aligned with what actually matters to me.
I launched Benni & Co. online in 2021 to celebrate local makers and create meaningful connections through pets. In 2024, I opened a storefront in Kitsilano to bring that vision into a physical space and connect with the community face to face.
Today, I continue to grow Benni & Co. while also working as a business consultant, helping founders build with clarity, confidence, and purpose. For me, business isn’t just about strategy — it’s about creating something intentional and human.

ABOUT THE STORE
Benni & Co. is my community-focused pet store in the heart of Kitsilano. I created it as a space that celebrates the joy of pets and the people who love them.
From small in-store events to treat tastings, I want it to feel like more than just a shop. I want it to feel welcoming, uplifting, and genuinely connected to the neighbourhood.
I carefully curate premium products from local and female-owned brands that support healthier, happier lives for our furry best friends. Every visit is meant to feel personal, vibrant, and full of heart.
OUR
MISSION
Bringing joy to pets and their people is the heart of why I started Benni & Co.
Supporting local brands matters deeply to me. About 95% of the treats I carry come from Canadian companies, with a strong focus on female-owned businesses. I love discovering new and emerging brands and giving them space on my shelves, helping them connect with pet lovers in the community.
Every product in the shop is carefully handpicked. I choose items I genuinely believe in — thoughtfully made, locally sourced whenever possible, and designed to bring a little extra happiness to your furry best friend. Because supporting small businesses truly does make a difference.
LOCAL
WOMEN-OWNED BRANDS
Supporting local businesses matters to me — and so does who I choose to support.
I fill my shelves with women-owned brands based right here in Canada. From healthy treats and eco-friendly gear to handmade wellness products, I look for female founders who pour real care and intention into what they create.
Every purchase supports a woman building her own dream. It keeps money in the local economy and helps me shape a store that stands for something meaningful — community, empowerment, and joy.
SHOP WITH EASE
PRIVATE SHOPPING APPOINTMENTS
I offer private shopping appointments for dogs who feel more comfortable in a quiet, one-on-one setting.
If your pup is shy, anxious, or just prefers a calmer environment, I’m happy to create a relaxed space where you can browse at your own pace.
The goal is simple — to make every visit feel safe, easy, and positive for both you and your dog.
