ABOUT US
The
idea for Doggone Cool Pet Stuff
was hatched several years ago
when I began handling in-house sales
inquiries from retailers throughout
the country for a pet
products manufacturer. During the
numerous conversations I had with
shop owners and managers I began to
understand the structure and
obstacles these owners face on a
daily basis in an industry which is
rapidly expanding. At the same time
I became the owner of three cute and
rambunctious
cocker
spaniel puppies and an older
mixed breed. The four dogs along
with my four cats (one of which is
now 20 years old!) demanded a
serious
re-education and
re-evaluation of the types and
quality of the products I offered my
pets.
I
have watched as many new
products have been introduced into
the pet industry to meet the
exploding demand. Many of these
products are very good quality and
fill certain needs and markets. At
the same time many items are of
poorer quality and reliability.
Large national chains and
distributors
have expanded
to meet
this demand. All the while my
numerous retailers continued to give
me their input
on the types of products
they were seeking to stay
competitive.
Most pets today are integral members
of the family as evidenced by
expansions in areas such as pet sitting,
doggie day cares, pet salons &
boutiques, new animal medical care
advances, stronger enforcement of
animal abuse and protection laws
along with increase in pet insurance
just to name a few. Many people care
for their pets with the same love
and
devotion that they have shown
their own children.
Many of these same owners have
fueled the demand for retailers to
find and stock food, treats and
products which meet the same quality
standards they demand for their
families and themselves. In turn
retailers have conveyed these
requests to me in our many
conversations. As a person who has
been a lifelong pet caretaker I can
relate to these owners and retailers
on the most basic of levels. My pets
are my family, I interact with them
constantly and it is this
interaction I believe that benefits
us all with better health and
longevity.
It is this interaction and my
lifelong love of animals which
spurred the creation of Doggone Cool
Pet Stuff. Our mission is to seek
out the finest quality products that
enhance the longevity and quality of
the animals they touch! We seek out
organic, all natural, and holistic
products that offer the best quality
for the animals themselves. These
are products you will find in the
best pet retailers, veterinary
offices, groomers, breeders and
animal rescues that strive to
provide the best care for your pets.
The business philosophy of the
companies found on this site is not
simply to produce just “another” pet
product but rather to produce a
product which will improve the
quality of life for the pets
themselves! The integrity of the
company is just as important to us
here as the products themselves.
Many of the people who developed
these products and started these
companies have done so on the same
premise as we have here at Doggone
Cool Pet Stuff and that is the
heartfelt love for our pets!
Thank You and Welcome,
