Botaniqa Team

Agnieszka (Aga) Pluta, the creative mind behind Botaniqa, Pet Beauty Solutions, a successful worldwide dog grooming product line, is an entrepreneur, a shih tzu breeder, and a dog show enthusiast. Aga's love for dogs extends beyond breeding and showing them, as she also recognizes the importance of proper grooming.

Born and raised in Poland, Aga developed a passion for the care and training of dogs from a young age. She pursued this passion by obtaining a master's degree in cynology, where she studied the genetics and behavior of various dog breeds.

In 2012, Aga and her business partner, Tomasz Pałka, noticed a gap in the market for high-quality, natural-based dog grooming products and created Botaniqa, Pet Beauty Solutions. With her extensive knowledge of dog science and her experience as an owner and breeder, she developed a line of products that quickly gained popularity. Botaniqa is now sold worldwide in over 20 countries and recently in the USA.

As a product developer, Aga participated in many grooming seminars and workshops across Europe showcasing her products and coat grooming solutions. As a shih tzu breeder, she quickly became prominent in the international dog show community, showcasing her dogs across Europe and the United States. On her account, there a multiple Best in Show and Best in Show Junior winnings. Her dedication and hard work paid off when her female shih tzu, Balbinka, won the World Winner and European Winner titles, as well as Best in Show in USA and Europe.

Aga enjoys her other passions of traveling, boxing, and reading when she's not busy with her business or dogs. She believes a well-rounded life is essential for success and fulfillment and strives to achieve that balance.
