Frustrated with ill-fitting sweaters and coats, I created American Pup® to fill the void in the dog apparel market in January of 2002. I wanted clothing for my dogs that fit properly, was comfortable, fashionable and at reasonable prices. It was also important to me that the line be produced in the USA.
My background as a fashion designer of children’s and junior sportswear and my love of dogs helped me transition into “canine” clothing. My first priority in designing these garments was comfort for the dog. Who doesn’t wear sweatshirts or tees to be comfortable while exercising, sleeping, relaxing or walking the dog? Why shouldn’t a dog be just as comfortable?
We were the first company in 2002 to introduce the fleece dog hoodie with drawstring, the harness buttonhole and screened logos, just like people were buying from the Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc. Since then, American Pup® has grown to include tees, tanks, dresses and most recently, Thunder Paws®, a new line of clothing designed and made especially for dogs weighing
25 to 100 lbs.
We make clothes that dogs love to wear because of the comfortable fit and people like to buy because of the styles!
