We can't wait to see our new doggy customers in their seats! While the first shipment is on its way, we thought we'd share a few adorable photos from past customers when Helen had the business. To be honest, it was so hard to choose because they're all incredibly cute, and when we say "a few," we really had to narrow it down! Hoping they bring a smile to your face, like they did to ours.

We're Onboard!

Hello everyone! As Helen has mentioned, we are Adel and Tara, the proud new owners of I Can See Dog Car Seat! 🐾

We're excited to already have the first batch of custom orders underway and look forward to continuing to make car seats that are comfortable, safe, and stylish for your furry friends.

We are also looking forward to meeting our customers local to the Gold Coast!

Well it’s official the contracts have been drawn up ready to be signed and in a few days Tara and Adel will takeover as the new owners.
For me it’s a little like bitter sweet to see my ICanSeeDogCarSeat no longer being my baby
All most 14 years ago I started out very green with no business plan so sales or marketing experience and zero social media skills. Just with a passion and a dream. Who would have believed that a small home based business could grow and expand to where it is today with those odds . It started with my two precious pups Bella and Jack needing to be restrained in the car and not finding anything in Australia that I would consider putting them in. Back then dog car seats were not really heard of and a bit of a novelty. So the dream took shape I found a wonderful machinist in Jan who drafted a pattern. I found a foam supplier Andy and off I went . I got excited when orders started to come in. Sadly Jan passed away to cancer After only 3 years working together. Before passing she found me a new machinist in the very skilled and talented Edith who has made me look good for the last 10 years with her eye for detail and amazing pattern matching skills.
It feels a little like having a child all grown up and ready to leave the nest. Watching as they go off to create their own dream but not being in control of how that plays out.
I Would like to thank each and everyone that has supported me over the last 14 years. Some of you have been with me from day one some are new to the I Can See Dog Car Seat family. I have lost count of the thousands of seats that have gone out over the years.
I will miss all the photos of all the happy pups and your kind words and reviews.
I am so happy that Tara and Adel are local and will still be hand making the seats here on the Gold Coast
I will be watching from the sidelines like a nervous parent cheering the girls on to great heights.
I am sure you will make them very welcome and support them as you have supported me.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart much love and hugs to you all and your precious pups it’s been an honour and a privilege. Warm regards Helen

I'm thrilled to announce that my beloved I Can See Dog Car Seat business is entering a new chapter with two passionate and dedicated new owners, Tara and Adel.

They are committed to maintaining the high standards and quality you’ve come to expect, while also bringing fresh, vibrant designs to our products. With their combined expertise and extensive experience as business owners, they will ensure every dog travels in Comfort and Style . Stay tuned for another post shortly once the new owners are fully onboard. They will share more about their story and their passion for dogs and design.
We expect the handover to be complete by 8th July
From today all new inquires will be handed toTara and Adel who will be in touch As soon as they are onboard .
I have had an overwhelming interest in the sale however for me it was always about finding the perfect fit.
I am very confident that Tara and Adel fit the brief perfectly. The business is staying local on the Gold Coast.
Very exciting times ahead :)
