Our Story  - Our Passion

Well Bred, founded in 2001 by Patti Storms in Chester, is one of the New Jersey’s original pet boutiques.  Joanna Bronowicka* acquired the original Chester store in 2013   and focused on what makes the biggest difference in our pets’ lives – healthy, species appropriate nutrition.

Within a few years we expanded into Clinton, Chatham, Livingston, Madison and Bernardsville areas. 

During Covid we added online store to allow our customers to shop online at home while supporting local business and local economy.   

*Joanna spent 15 years in a corporate world, 9 years growing her own business and 20 years studying canine and human nutrition.

She has a Canine & Feline Certification from Southern Illinois University, 2-year MBA degree from the University of Michigan, 5-year Master Degree in Laws from the University of Wroclaw and 1-year Post Graduate Study in International Trade and Economics.  See Joanna's credentials here. 

She is big a Cavalier King Charles Spaniels lover and she shows her dogs at AKC and CKCSC USA conformation events.
