not impressed with the clothing, but do like their collars. But after selling to retailers like Macy's for a long time I know that often they do not buy the best items, because often they don't even see them since it is so hard to get an appointment if you don't already have an in. LOL I think the shark investors ought to bring some of us from YT in as consultants

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.

When one of the sharks asked her what was different about her products from all of the other "dog crap"

on the market, she didn't have much to say. I agree with you, I'm not impressed with her products. With all of the top dog clothes and accessories brands, I can tell you what is unique about them.

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

I think some of the rudeness on the show is part gimmick, like shows with judges. There is always one really rude judge.

I agree with you that the majority of pet parents simply don't know where to shop for things. People who don't participate in online forums or Facebook don't know all that is available out there.

Kristin we should join forces and put her to shame. I know we could come up with better designs

you are right they do need a "bad guy judge" in every show

lovespandp · 10-01-2013, 10:21 AM

He wasn't rude. Just because he doesn't agree with something doesn't make him rude.

Just remember I'm not the only one who called him rude......

SophieKatesMom · 10-01-2013, 11:27 AM

I called him rude also, there is a reason his nickname is "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin is my least favorite Shark but he must be doing something right because he has a lot more money than I do.

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.

I agree...

Also for my girls the XS are too small and the smalls are too big. Guess that's one of the reasons I started sewing. I don't like the stiff fabrics they use either.

Really? I find super cute boy stuff at Petsmart.I just bought like 2 sweaters and 10 shirts. The shirts/sweaters work great for him. He is a size small in Petsmart shirts/ sweaters.. the small will fit him perfect, it will be about 2 inches above his little wee wee- no pee gets on it ever.

Deanna we know you will never agree with me. Sammy pees on all the shirts we have gotten from there they also are not cut any higher then the girls shirts which the should be and I have talked to lots of people who end up with the same thing happening.

My post wasn't about agreeing with you.. Having a male I wanted to point out that I personally have never experienced Peanut getting Pee on a shirt from Petsmart clothes.. or any other store/ boutique.

That really stinks that Sammy has to get custom made clothes because of it.. That would irritate the crap outta me.

chachi · 10-01-2013, 03:11 PM

I like boy shirts to be cut higher too chachi has gotten pee on some I got from target and it ruined them-+
