This is what makes my business successful and sets me apart from the other pet clothing companies. I use unique fabric, the finest embellishments and apply it to the dog’s structure. Of course, quality is the best seller for my designs. I also take custom orders so customers can relay to me exactly what they want to have made. I try to make all my dog dresses thinking about what customers can not find in the regular pet store. – Thanks to Rachel Teyssier and Stacy Struminger of RAINRAPS We were lucky to find a person who loved our product and has worked as hard as we have to help spread the RAINRAPS word.
