Women owned professional quality dog adventure gear designer, manufacturer and retailer.
Our exceptional designs and top quality dog adventure gear products are well known and highly sought after.
Raising $150 - $300K : We are wanting to grow our business by employing more seamstresses, purchase bulk raw materials, purchase equipment (sewing machines/rope cutting and sealing machinery, a larger laser engraving machine - to be able to speed up manufacturing time on our orders). We desperately need to invest in getting a large stock in hand, so that our ambassador’s can each be given a full sample set of gear to use at “show and tell” demonstrations. Employ a 2-person eventing team, purchase a slightly used but reliable cargo van, a professional vendor booth setup - goal is to build stock so that the eventing team can attend all the large pet expos around the country without having to wait on stock to be made up per event.
We are professional dog mushers and trainers who are passionate about our products. We use our first hand knowledge of dog structure to design gear that is comfortable and safe for dogs to wear across many activities: hiking, Bikejoring, ski joring, walking, Canicross, canine Biathlon, dock diving, agility, rally, sledding and even service dogs.
Our target market is extremely wide : from pet owners who take their dogs on outdoor adventures (walks, hiking, bikejoring, skijoring, sledding) to professional athletes who compete in world championship competitions (bikejoring, skijoring, sledding) and the recreational teams who take part in Canine Biathlons, dock diving, rally and many more dog sports. We offer custom builds for our clients whose dogs do not fit into our stock sizes and have an excellent reputation for our gear quality and design.
We just need help to go from a successful online business to a full retail business with the goal of getting our gear brand recognition nationwide.
Thank you for your time.
It is appreciated.
