Welcome back to DoggieDogCoats

 A lot has happened since we last posted and the world does not look the same including our DoggieDogCoats.com website.  We first started out with several suppliers for our web site, and one by one, they have closed their businesses due to health reasons, have closed due to decline in their business, or have had to close permanently due to the Covid-19 Virus.  Our lovely lady that made our beautiful dog clothes had to close; our maker of raincoats, and sports clothes, closed; the maker of unique dog costumes went out of business; another supplier has had to downsize their business, and the list grew of losing suppliers.  Each time we had to change our website and the products we could offer.

We were now down to one supplier. (Mirage Pet Products). But this is not your regular company/supplier of dog, pet products, but a veteran owned USA company that has gone through many challenges.  The normal person would have thrown in their hat…. but not this company (Mirage Pet Products).  After many years of growing pains and building up their business, they were wiped out by a catastrophic fire losing their building, equipment and all their supplies in 2019.    

Fire at Mirage Pet Products

Catastrophic Fire – Total Loss (Mirage Pet Products)

But the fire did not defeat them.  Their staff and others within days, helped them start looking for a new building, getting new equipment, and buying new material to again start making new USA quality made products (Dog collars, hoodies, shirts, dresses, just to name a few).  Once again, our web site changed again to the new products we were going to sell.  And, as they were able to manufacture their products, we were able to update our products.  You would think… all would be well now…. but not so.  In 2020, the Covid-19 virus hit and Mirage Pet Products were ordered to shut down along with several other businesses in their town, since they were defined as unessential.  My little Boston Terrier, Princess would not think she was unessential or that the company making her clothes, collars, etc. was unessential.  She looked forward to their pet products!   But again, Mirage Pet Products owners & staff’s patience paid off, and were given the word they could reopen again.  It has taken Mirage Pet Products several months, to get their full high-quality supplies remade, but as of today, they are up and running full speed. God Bless Mirage Pet Products and their staff, and the wonderful work they have been doing.

On my next post…more about our little Boston Terrier Princess and the Rainbow Bridge.
