Read below about how Pastel Pooch Boutique was created and the three pooches behind the brand...
In 2022, life threw me a curveball. My job had become a soul-sucking routine, and as Billy, my soul dog, grew older, I realised just how precious our time together was.
So, I took a leap of faith, determined to find something more meaningful.
But as I sifted through job listings and weighed the pros and cons of remote positions, a thought began to take root:
Wouldn't it be amazing if I could build something of my own? And even better, what if that something could include Billy, Paddington and Hovis?
It was a leap of faith, to be sure, but one I was willing to take. With the support of my canine crew and a determination to forge my own path, I set out to turn that dream into reality.
Hovis and Paddington had a knack for turning every day into a waterlogged adventure, leaving me scrambling for towels and cursing at soggy carpets.
Fed up with the constant cleanup, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Armed with determination and fuelled by frustration, I set out to create a solution—a dog drying coat that could withstand even the most enthusiastic water lovers.
It was trial and error at first. But with Billy's ever-watchful eye and the support of my mischievous trio, I soldiered on. And then, one day, something magical happened... Billy curled up in one of my prototypes and drifted off to sleep, his snoring a reassuring sign of approval.
That moment was all the validation I needed. With Billy's stamp of approval, Pastel Pooch Boutique was born—a business built on love, fuelled by necessity, and grounded in the everyday realities of dog ownership.
Now, I am expanding my product line and continually innovating, with the invaluable assistance of Billy, Paddington, and Hovis as my enthusiastic product testers.
