Pet blankets with a dual purpose! Barking dog blankets are fun and unique car seat slip covers that you can easily use for your dog to keep the dirt and hair and sand from getting on your car seats. Easy to slip the pocket over the headrest when you need it and fold it up and keep it in your car for the next time. Also, pretty enough for your home on your pets special sleeping place (AKA your couch, your bed or your arm chair!)

Our 14 year old heeler "Rockie" is the total inspiration for BarkingDogBlankets. Also in our animal family is a chicken named Snowflake who is 9+ years old. Our dwarf bunny, Sweety Pie went to bunny heaven at the age of 11 yrs. If we could have a pygmy goat and a white duck my animal family would be complete. I believe in the Best FriendsAnimal Society philosophy that "kindness to animals builds a better world for all of us." Ginger is a volunteer at the Hawaiian Humane Society as a dog walker and also (Rockie and Ginger) are a certified therapy dog/owner team - "Team Rockie". Old dogs hold a special place in Ginger's heart.

Role: Member since 2008

Camille's Studio & Comfy Collars sells designer dog and cat collars for the "fashion forward" pet. Comfy Collars are made from the latest fashion fabric in a design created to be especially comfortable for the pet that hates to wear a collar. Made from from cruelty free materials including first quality 100% cotton designer fabric, Comfy Collars are popular with fashion forward dogs and doggie fashionistas world- wide!

Camille's Studio was originally created to sell hand-made art quilts. The adoption of a little Shih Tzu, Charlie the Adorable, changed the focus of the store. Charlie had been kept chained in a back yard for the first part of his life and the chain had grown into his neck and had to be surgically removed. A search for a collar that this little dog could tolerate was unsuccessful. As a quilter and quilt designer, Charlie's adoptive Mom a/k/a Camille, experimented with various collar designs until one was found which gave a comfortable fit and also looked great. Soon Charlie's friends and even complete strangers were clamoring for Comfy Collars of their own!

Charlie was soon joined by Lola, also a little Shih Tzu, who was rescued from an horrific puppy mill situation. She did not know how to walk on grass, go down stairs or even eat and drink from a bowl. Lola has gone from a shivering, frightened little girl to a confident fashion diva who loves the admiration of her adoring fans.

A portion of the proceeds of Comfy Collars is spent on materials to make dog and cat collars for Pets and People, a non-profit, no-kill shelter that rescues animals from kill shelters on their execution day. In 2007, Pets and People found loving homes for over 1,800 dogs and cats.

The mission of Comfy Collars is to make high quality dog and cat collars that are comfortable and fun to wear for awesome pets world over!

Crazy About Catnip is a shop that sells original and handmade cat toys. All toys are made with 100% cotton fabric, 100% organic catnip, and are safe and made with love. In addition to toys, patterns, kits, and supplies can also be purchased.

The toys in this shop are fun and colorful, sometimes even a little crazy. Each toy is tested by the Vice President of product research, Sweetie, the cat.

All toys are made on the day of purchase to ensure freshness when they arrive for your little one. You can choose from the fabric and felt charts displayed on the listing to have your toy custom made. Not sure what your fabric and felt choices will look like, not a problem, Crazy About Catnip cares about you, all you need to do is ask, and they will whip one up, and send you a picture before you make the purchase. 10% of all profits goes to the Bergen County Animal Shelter at Teterboro, NJ. Or if you want, they will donate a toy instead.

Sweetie, the cat, was discovered in a box outside the Teterboro Animal Shelter with three other cats, back in 2006. For six weeks she lived in a cage in a large room with about 50 other cages of cats, until Laura came along. Sweetie was 7 years old, which made adoption difficult. Everyone wants the kittens and puppies, so adults usually spend more time at the shelter.

When Sweetie was brought home, she would sleep with a mouse toy craddled in her arms. It was like a child holding a security blanket. Although she doesn't do that anymore, The toy seemed to help her with the transition that was taking place in her life.
Sweetie is just that, the sweetest little thing. She likes to give her mommy lots of kisses, and she gets lots of kisses too.

Renovia gets up in the morning and teaches a bunch of 12-15 year olds how music can change their lives, how to choose 'good' music, and the inner workings of film music. She also teaches four different choruses: a 5th and 6th Grade Chorus, an auditioned chorus of 5th/6th graders, a boys choir made up of grades 5-8, and is assistant director of the Southern Maine Children's Chorus (specifically with the training choir). After a day of teaching 'music', Renovia listens to the drone of Trance music, and to ambient noises on her iPod at night. Renovia also teaches piano lessons in her private studio.

One day, Renovia decided that she needed something in her life that was NOT music related, and began sculpting polymer clay kitties. Endless Whimsy stands for the never ending creativity that needs to explode after a day at the workplace. Renovia has spent her entire life being creative – through art, unconventional ideas and through music. She's a closet artist who works on a specific project in her head before completing it physically. She has a multitude of Eiffel Tower paintings at home, along with many photo portraits of her muses – her two cats, Stoli, a Russian Blue, and Luxor, an Egyptian Mau.

There are all different types of natural and organic foods for dogs, but what Clementine and her humans found is the available clothing for pups is rather lack luster. The quality, uniqueness, and quality of dog clothing really stinks! That's when she decided to start Frou Frou Fido, making dog accessories and clothing out of 100% recycled materials that are totally groovy and super well made. Of course, Clementine couldn't forget where she was adopted, the Connecticut Humane Society, and insisted she give back to them! 5% of all sales are donated to the Humane Society.

Cari of Heart Felt Wool is an active volunteer at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society and began crafting as a way to raise money for the ever-rising costs of operating a shelter. A total of 15% of sales are donated to the Oshkosh Area Humane Society; these funds are specifically used to purchase whatever items are most needed at the shelter at the time. In addition to fostering small mammals and volunteering at the shelter each week, Cari and her husband have three permanent rabbit companions with whom they share their home. As her rabbits do not enjoy playing with toys, creating catnip toys that will be loved by the pets of other people brings her great joy.

But now, I changed the name to "Ju-Ju," which is how my closed friends and husband called me. Which means, now my shop is not only sell cat collars but also more creation related to my daily life experience.

Miss Moustache toys are filled with organic catnip that promises to make your cat purr in delight! We take pride in the fact that all products are handmade which makes them truly unique.

The idea for Miss Moustache was inspired by two crazy cats: Bali & Shanghai. After adopting them, the boring and tiresome quests to find fun and original accessories began. Returning home empty-handed every time, it was time to take the sewing machine out of the closet and start creating new and innovative cat collars and toys. Many tests and experiments later, Miss Moustache* was born.

In order to help less fortunate pets, 10% of our sales are donated to the Toronto Humane Society. The Toronto Humane Society's mission is to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering. THS also helps lost or abandoned cats and dogs find new homes.

When she moved to southern California, she volunteered at another Shelter where she adopted another dog who was born blind and deaf and was abandoned at the Shelter. Since 2005 she has been living on her 7 acre Ranch in southwest New Mexico and has been creating and building Puppy Dog Ranch Rescue and Sanctuary.

Rachel strongly believes pets need emotional and physical stimulation for happy, healthy pets...so do visit her shop when you have a moment and perhaps say "hi"!

Rachel has been a pet lover since she took her first breath. Her father has been a strong influence in her fondness and love of nature and animals alike. She grew up on a small hobby farm that consisted of chickens, rabbits, pheasants, cats, and a dog. She'd spend hours watching baby chicks hatch from the incubators, help her dad fill up the feed troughs and also pitch in on cleaning the coops, and bringing in the eggs. Rachel learned to respect the animals and nature around us and hopes to instill the same on her own children. Above all though cats have always been her favorite and has never been without them through her years. She's rescued them from shelters when pawsible and simply loved them as they deserved to be. She's always been the 'petsitting ' neighbor as well...almost a magnet for it. Several times a year she and her husband act as 'pet faeries' and donate needed items anonymously to shelters and/or pet organizations. Over the years they've been able to do more than others, but the point is they tried no matter how tough times were. If you want to meet her current kitties, simply visit her pet website for more.

In 2008, Taryn and her fiance Aaron became vegans after reading the book Skinny Bitch and their affinity for the animal kingdom blossomed even further when Taryn had gotten the idea to found Recycling Zychal.

Retro Animals sells fashionable and mostly retro items including (but not limited to) cat collars, cat nip toys, dog collars, and more. Their main focus will be cat items.

Jennifer is a fun and creative gal that loves to spend time with her animals. Both at work at a local animal shelter (as a graphic designer) and at home with her two cats. Both of her cats were adopted. One is 13 years old and her name is Mercedes, the other is almost 3 and her name is Bear. Jennifer spends her days photographing animals, placing the "pet picks" in newspapers, websites and such. One of her goals is to get the animals noticed. She has noticed that sometimes black cats in particular get passed over for more colorful cats, so her goal is to increase their visibility. One of the ways she strives to do that is by getting them in bright colorful collars. She would like to accomplish that by donating one of her bright, retro collars for every cat collar sold on her site to the shelter so they can put them on cats that need to get noticed.

Sarah, the owner of Scampering Scotties, is proudly owned by two lively Scottish terriers, Brodie and Caolin. When they were younger she tried to dress them in clothes but they were unhappy with anything that she picked. So instead, Sarah purchased collar upon collar to compensate for their unwillingness to comply with clothes.
As the collars kept piling up and the money kept going to the collars Sarah realized that she might as well make my own. After making B&C their own collars and sharing her designs with her family and friends, Sarah decided to venture out and try to sell them to others.

Spoiled Kitty sells handmade vegan friendly and soon eco friendly cat toys, blankets and mats. All Spoiled Kitty items are washable and reusable to save money and the environment.

Spoiled Kitty was inspired by my beloved Snowshoe Siamese, Nala, adopted from the Purebred Cat Rescue in the Midwest. Nala was literally minutes from death in a backyard "shelter" when she was rescued along with several Persians who had been dumped by a backyard breeder. Determined to give Nala the best of everything but not happy with the commercial choices of toys/blankets available I started to make my own. After all, cats love yarn right? After seeing how much Nala loved her yarn toys and blankets I started selling them at affordable prices so every kitty can be spoiled. All pets deserve to be loved and well cared for, and I donate money and toys and blankets to the Purebred Rescue so that other rescue kitties can also enjoy safety, good food, warmth and love.

Terrier Trousers was inspired by a Boston Terrier pup named Clarkie. Today Clarkie is still the inspiration and model for Terrier Trousers. Clarkie is training to be a therapy dog for children who are sick and war veterans...all who smile when she gives them puppy loves.

Clarkie is a 1yr. old Boston Terrier with ton's of personality. She can make everyone in a room smile. Her "Mom", Deb, brought her home at 5 weeks old as she was orphaned at birth by a first time mom who had her by C-section and didnt know how to care for her. Luckily there was a Pug mama that let her nurse from her and adopted her as one of her own. Since then, Deb and her "Dad" Brian have enjoyed watching her personality grow and inspire Clarkie&Co/Terrier Trousers. Deb has had animals all her life including dogs, cats, pigs, and horses. She has a background in sales, marketing and new product development and traveled overseas to factories. When Deb looked for clothing for Clarkie, she found little USA made and started Clarkie & Company. Terrier Trousers plans on donating each month to a different Animal Rescue.

Owned and operated by Michelle, ZeeksBeak is full of mentally enriching toys for companion birds. In her store, Michelle creates all of her own toys using personal experience with parrots and research about parrot behavior to drive her creativity. Her goal is to stimulate the inquisitive minds of parrots, thus reducing destructive behaviors. Michelle believes that the vital aspect of play is of great importance in creating a balanced life for companion birds.

Passionate about animals since childhood, Michelle shares her life with many furry and feathered "kids". Her menagerie includes two rascally airedale terriers, two cats, one whom has diabetes and needs insulin twice daily, a cockatiel, a nanday conure, nine chickens, one horse and a pond full of fish.

For five years, she volunteered at the Oregon Zoo in the birds of prey program. Caring for and showing raptors in shows and school assemblies has given Michelle a whole new appreciation on the importance of environmental enrichment in captive animals.
She also spent one especially cold winter collecting blankets for her local, small animal shelter.

When not busy with her own animals, Michelle offers pet sitting at reduced rates and takes periodic classes such as CPR for animals and clicker training with chickens.
