About:

In Zapotec culture, dogs are members of the family and should be treated as such.

The dog is seen as a companion both and life and the underworld and should also be given the same unconditional love that they give their human family.

This is why, Huella Carmin, has chosen to launch––Nashun––a Mexican brand that offers the best pet products and which also contributes to the development of artisan villages in Oaxaca.
