The dog lets you know.

I thought the woman's presentation was weak, and her projected sales (over $2 million) was outlandish for what she was offering.

I guess it is from not owning a dog let alone a small dog that gets cold. No one in my family really understood it until they saw Callie shaking because she was cold some still don't get it. I thought he was joking about when the do had to got to the bathroom lol.

Before Max and Teddy came into my life, I never thought of clothes on a dog. Teddy gets cold easily, too. He definitely needs protection. Seeing everyone's dogs dressed up on YT and FB converted me. I love it!

I guess I never did either. Mine shake too...that's why I started sewing fleece coats and flannel nightgowns for them.

Most men think it is crazy unless a small dog coat in winter. I just let them think it.

I didn't see it, did anyone of the others have a different point of view about it?

Now don't ask me about a stroller

My husband is used to mine coming out with something different on everyday, then having their nightgowns on at night. Lol

Stroller? Lolol. I have a pink one. One thing for sure, they get tons of attention, even their picture in a local paper. What color is yours?

I'm lucky I guess my Dad and grandpa understand it and both have dressed Callie before. My dad even puts tshirts on Sammy my moms Yorkie when he thinks he is cold. I have a stroller for Callie. Strollers do have there place though for sick, disabled dogs or when it's just not safe to have a small dog on the ground because of other dogs or the possibility of getting stepped on.

Mine has to wear a nightgown too

I like my room colder at night.

That's really nice that they go along with it, guess we have men that think they are macho in our family. Note I said 'think' (smile)

I thought so too. Everyone thinks they can have a dog clothes line. The problem is there are sooo many now a days. Very hard to make it in that business.

I didn't even like her clothes- I've seen better.

Kevin was hilarious. When he asked "what happens when a dog needs to potty in a carrier" LMAO!!

I love when he says " I forbid you to move forward on this" he cracks us up.

DBlain · 10-01-2013, 09:19 AM

I heard about the show so I tried to watch in on line but wow way to many commercials. From what I saw, Kevin was a bit more condescending than he needed to be, bordering on being rude. I missed the opening part where she showed all the items but from what I could see there was nothing that was not already on the market. However with that being said perhaps some stores like Macy's will want to put a boutique like area in their stores with pet items, the market for dog accessories is huge and only getting larger. Now most of the pet items are only sold in pet stores, on line and hit or miss at places like Wallmart and TJ Maxx. While I prefer one of kind type of clothing for Lola and know where to get specialty items I don't think the average consumer is. I am always amazed when I see people in pet stores shopping for a harness for their small pup, (I think that the harnesses lines they carry for small dogs is horrendous) When I tell them how there is a much better selection on line or even at Wallmart they are totally shocked. So I think for many people finding a nice line of upscale pet items in their favorite department store might work.

I forgot the gentleman's name that invested but he knows his way around the department store industry and that means a lot, he also was only going to invest if she secured a certain amount in Purchase Orders so I guess time will tell if they make any money

Apparel – Kane & Couture

Not impressed.

Lovetodream88 · 10-01-2013, 10:06 AM

I think some of the stuff is really cute but my problem was not with the business side of it at all just how rude the guy was.

Lovetodream88 · 10-01-2013, 10:10 AM

I think having a girl its pretty easy to find stuff for her minus her weird size and that most of the good things at petco and petsmart only go up to a medium and when they do have a large its to big. I think boy clothing is lacking and for boys its worth getting custom stuff every thing we have ever bought Sammy minus custom clothes has had to have the underside cut or he would pee all over it. Who wants to spend over $20.00 bucks to get something your going to have to alter. I would love to see someone come up with a boys line for petco and petsmart that actually works for boys.
