The Pagerie Pet is not only your son or daughter, but closest confidant. Introducing Wo(man)’s Best Friend, a series that reveals our favourite Pagerie companions and the personality traits that make them one of a kind.

Alongside her team, co-founder of Perelel, Alex Taylor, has set out to support women through every stage of their hormonal lifecycle and path to motherhood. They create doctor-made trustworthy vitamin routines and recently launched their newest product, Synbiotic Greens Powder. "We're launching the first greens powder made specifically for women. And it's also the first greens powder safe for pregnancy," said Alex. "The options currently on the market are not. It's hard to have enough time to follow all these multistep, self-care, and health routines and this is just one simple thing you can do each day to ensure that you're taking care of yourself. And that's our hope with Perelel, to make it really easy."

That said, as a mother, Alex is always looking out for her children, and of course, her firstborn goldendoodle, Louie. "I love him as much as my children," she said. "We got him in early 2018 and he is such a special dog. I feel like we understand each other. He is genuinely my emotional support dog. If I'm feeling anxious or stressed, I give him a big snuggle he really centers me. Louis is one of my best friends."

“He is genuinely my emotional support dog. If I'm feeling anxious or stressed, I give him a big snuggle he really centers me."

”To that end, Louie treats Alex's two children like his brother and sister. "Louie tolerates them so much," she added. "They dress him up in all of their clothes. Yesterday, Louie wore a cape for half the day and he was super Lou. He's so tolerant and loving."

Understandably, Louie is Alex's shadow. The 85-pound pup has a muppet-like disposition and is one of Alex's true loves. "As far as Perelel goes, with regards to our mission, it's beyond the things that you can take and put in and on your body," she said. "We want to inspire women to live a life that supports them and makes it simple. And I find that pets are a really simple and easy way to add joy and levity and presence to your life, which I think is deeply powerful for everyone."

Breed: Goldendoodle.

Cutest quirk: He has so many cute quirks. When I haven’t seen him all day and I come home, he wraps his body around me as I walk through the house. He needs to be physically close to me and it’s so sweet.

Best trick: He is very good at listening to commands. He has a puzzle that he can solve very quickly in under a minute. Early days, I wanted to make sure that he was mentally challenged enough because I’m obsessed. So I researched online these different dog puzzles.

Go-to cuddle spot: Louie loves sushi. We don’t serve him sushi regularly. It’s only if we get sushi takeout and we always save a couple of pieces for Lou. He loves blueberries and blackberries, too.

Favourite human food: He has basically appointed one of the chairs in our living room his own. We joke it’s Louis’ throne. He loves to sit in this armchair and chill out all day. I’ve tried to get him dog beds, but Louis gets a little frisky with them.

Pagerie must-have: I love the sleek and sophisticated style of how the Dórro collar looks juxtaposed with Louie’s fluffy fur.

Daily uniform: Louie usually wears a bandana about half the time. It’s a seasonal bandana. Sometimes in the winter, I’ll put him in this cute little Carhartt jacket, or he’s in the buff, now wearing his PAGERIE collar.

Go-to outdoor activity: Louis is a prolific runner. I run in the morning. So, for example, today, Lou and I got up before the entire house and we went for a really lovely run together.

Preferred luxury item: He basically has taken over this beauty Jenni Kayne blanket. He’s a very bougie dog, clearly.
