I am chihuahua enthusiast originally from Toronto, but now enjoying the sunny weather in Los Angeles. I am VP of Dogs Without Borders dog rescue, an actor (when they hire me) and a web developer (when they don't). I also make these slings and I hope that you'll carry them in your store.
I want to tell you about my best friend. Her name was Chewbacca Esperanza and she was 5lbs. She went everywhere with me. On vacation, to the movies, to the grocery store, eventually she moved to England with me and then to Los Angeles.
She was my first dog as an adult. I chose a chihuahua because they’re compact and dont need to be walked at midnight in the winter which was perfect for me as a condo dweller in Canada.
It turns out you still have to take your dog places when it's cold (or when they're old) and they won't always walk, and sometimes you need your hands -- so I started using a sling, and over time I got my own sling made to suit my needs.
Once we arrived in LA people kept asking me where I got it, because it's adjustable, and bright, and machine washable, so finally I decided to take the plunge and make them for other people too -- and here we are.
"My dog is about 11.5 lbs and NOT a purse dog at all. However, he absolutely loves the sling and so do I. He instantly found a comfortable position and really enjoys being held in it both while walking and also 'denning' in it as he cozies up on a lap. The construction and materials are top notch quality. The velcro strap is adjustable and the fleece lining is so soft."
"This sling is PERFECT! The purple velvet is gorgeous and the gray interior is so soft and cozy. My little senior chi snuggled up in it right away. It’s very comfortable to wear and feels very secure. I can walk around, go shopping or hiking, and know that my dog is safe and happy by my side."
"We have a few other slings but this one is PERFECT. The weight distribution is really phenomenal - barely know you're wearing it as it has a nice wide sturdy strap. The adjustability makes it versatile for an easy walk through the neighbourhood or you can shorten it for a hike where you need more range of motion with your knees. GREAT PRODUCT!"
