About Chilly Dog

In the heart of bustling downtown Philadelphia, an idea was born – an idea that would warm the hearts of dog-lovers and their furry companions alike. Chilly Dog, a labor of love founded in 2001, was not just about creating dog sweaters; it was about filling a void in the market, ensuring quality, and making a difference. As a devoted pet owner and proprietor of a pet retail store, we embarked on a quest to find the perfect dog sweater at a reasonable price. To our dismay, the search was futile. That’s when Chilly Dog came to life, driven by the desire to provide well-made dog sweaters that wouldn’t break the bank.

Our journey led us south, to the Quecuan Indian Artisans in the heart of South America. Here, we found skilled hands and a shared commitment to quality. Together, we embarked on a mission to hand-knit wool dog sweaters that would not only snugly fit every dog but also warm the hearts of those who cared about fair trade and sustainability.

From day one, Chilly Dog has proudly adhered to fair trade guidelines. Our sweaters are crafted from 100% wool, colored with gentle plant dyes, and infused with the warmth of ethical craftsmanship. By doing so, we’ve not only kept our promise to deliver quality but also made a significant impact on the lives of many knitters in remote villages. Our commitment to fair wages and healthy workplaces has enabled these artisans to support better lifestyles for themselves and their families. It’s a ripple effect of warmth and compassion, starting from the moment our needles meet the wool.

At Chilly Dog, we understand that every dog is unique, just like their owners. That’s why we stay on the cutting edge of fashion trends, ensuring that your furry friend not only stays warm but also looks fabulous. Our sizing caters to everyone, from the tiniest tea cup dog to the most majestic Great Dane.
