Australian Made Dog Coats and Onesies for Big Dogs and Little dogs and Every Dog in between. In 2018 I needed dog coats for my Great Danes.

After searching stores high and Low, I came up empty. Frustrated I decided to pull out my sewing machine and draft some patterns. After a number of prototypes I had designed some ergonomic dog coats that were perfect for my dogs. After chatting to a number of Great Dane and Mastiff Owners, I realised that our furbabies were almost impossible to buy for so I decided to launch Zed Pet. All my coats

and onesies are made in my home in Brisbane Australia with patterns I've designed. I've now made hundreds of dog coats and onesies for heaps of different breeds including; staffy, greyhound, whippet, dachshund, chihuahua, bull dog, cane corso, labrador, beagle, german shepherd, bull arab, neo mastiff, poodle, pug, cattle dogs, irish wolfhounds, bull terrier and heaps more

Rest in Peace Zelda, run free baby girl.

For the past 3 years, our gorgeous girl has been battling cancer. Zelda had an amazing 10.5 years of life filled with love and happiness. Today, we set her free from pain.

On Monday, I moved house. I am doing my best to get my sewing area set up as soon as possible. But there will be no custom coats made this week. I will also be unable to send ready-made coats until this weekend. I may also take longer to respond to emails and messages.

Pictured is my sewing room, behind all of those bags of fabric is my sewing machines. As you can imagine, moving was not an easy task.

Thankyou for your patience during this time.

6 years ago today I started Zed Pet. At the time, I was 21 and in my final year of Law School trying to find my place in the world. In the past 6 years there has been so much growth and change for myself and Zed Pet.

When I started, I had 1 sewing machine and 1 overlocker, a small amount of fabric and I cut out dog coats on the living room floor of my Mum's house.

Today, I have 2 industrial overlockers, 2 industrial sewing machines and an industrial coverstitch machine which all reside in a dedicated sewing room. I no longer cut everything out on the floor either, I have two large cutting tables which reside in my dedicated fabric room.

After finishing my law degree, I went on to be admitted to practice as a lawyer all the while continuing everything here. Earlier this year, I started working full-time in the legal profession.

The success of Zed Pet really comes down to all the people I have in my life who've helped me along the way and today I really want to thank two of them.

Firstly, my Mum who let me run a business from the living room floor, then the garage, then the garage and a bedroom as it grew.

Secondly, my wonderful husband who encourages and supports me every step of the way and this year has been spending his time after work and his weekends helping me pack orders and cut out coats and onesies.

I also want to thank every single person who has supported me over the past 6 years. Without you Zed Pet doesn't exist.

I have no idea what the future holds for me or Zed Pet, but I look forward to the years to come.

Love and light,

Melissa

Last year, I was diagnosed with a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which means my joints bend in ways they shouldn't and are prone to injury. Last year was tough on me physically so this year I will be doing things a little differently.

I will still be taking custom orders, but I urge you to order early as wait times may be up to 4 weeks. I have hundreds of ready-made dog coats in sizes from 35cm to 85cm and onesies from 75cm to 85cm. Around 90% of dogs can fit my ready-made range as my sizes are based off the thousands of custom measurements I've collected over the past 5 years.

In previous years I've done 3 post office runs per week, this year I will only be doing 1 with the help of my husband which will be on a Saturday.

It is not yet clear what the future holds, but my commitment to producing high quality Australian made dog coats hasn't changed. I look forward to another year of making dog coats and onesies for your doggos.

Love and light
Melissa

Our Story

I needed coats for my two Great Danes Zelda & Diego (RIP), I purchased a few from stores but I could only buy plain colours in their size. I also purchased some beautiful custom made coats from other small businesses however, these coats were not good quality and lasted my two less than two weeks. Frustrated, I decided to pull out my sewing machine and make coats, I didn't really know what I was doing, but the result was some stunning and perfectly fitting coats which Zelda and Diego loved. With the encouragement of family and friend Zed Pet was born. Our name came from The Z from Zelda and The D from Diego, the initial name was to be Z & D, but that didn’t flow. The spanish word for “and” is “y” pronounced just like the letter e, so that’s how we got our name. I feel so privileged that I have been able to develop my hobby into this and through Zed Pet Apparel I have been able to donate not only coats but hundreds of dollars to dog rescues to help with the great work they do and make the lives of rescue dogs more comfortable. Due to popular demand for baby bibs, burp cloths and scrunchies and matching human clothes I have launched a second page currently called Zed Threadz, both pages work together and items from both pages can be added to a single order for combined postage costs
