We love to be outside...85 degrees and sunny is the family favorite, but we live in Colorado and it snows here. Like most days year round it is sunny, but in the winter there is snow...sometimes a lot of it. We are all outfitted with snow boots, with snow coats, with wool socks, with hats and gloves and super-warm-base-layers...we are prepared to play outside. Bug was only a puppy the first winter we had her, during her second winter it became very apparent that she needed proper snow gear too. We found booties for dogs and snow googles for dogs but discovered that after spending time out in the snow, Bug would come inside and spend hours chewing the snow balls off her legs and belly. I shopped around for a 'snow coat' for her, but found nothing that fully covered her legs, chest and belly. I'm pretty good with a sewing machine, so I started sewing and the DoodleSuit was designed. When she wore her DoodleSuit out on the trail, she received so many compliments and there was so much interest from people that we decided to started making them to sell to other dog owners.
A few years later the dream of DoodleSuit became a reality as we entered our first production run! We continue to make plans for the future including suits for larger dogs, for smaller dogs and for much smaller dogs. We’re also researching fabrics to repel ticks for dogs living in the east coast and fabric to prevent thistles and other weeds from embedding in your dogs fur for dogs in dry warmer areas.
