One last thing 👋

I can't leave you lost without Biothane gear so, without further ado, I'm happy to announce my new ambassadorship with .ca!

Denise has built an amazing brand and community. An inspiration to all small businesses and I'm so excited to be a small part of her journey and support a brand I stand behind 100%. Knowing her commitment to her products makes it easy to refer friends, family and previous customers to Top Dog Gear.

One of my favourite things about being a business owner is (was 😢) the people/dogs you get to meet and the community that you build. Thankfully social media allows you to stay connected, so if you haven't already, make sure to follow the dogs page .

Thanks to this platform you also get to follow along with other small businesses along their journey. It doesn't turn us into competitors and enemies, but instead inspiration and supporters. I have referred several customers to other Biothane companies for products I didn't carry, you don't want others to fail but to keep growing. I have seen several companies come up that I've applauded for what they've been able to accomplish, the brand and community they've created.

Here are some of my recommended Biothane businesses that I've admired over the years:ca

It's time 🥲

All premade stock is ready to be cleared out! Leashes, collars, tabs and rope items available. Limited inventory left. More may be added as I clear through material and hardware.

⚠️ Local pickup available. Any orders for delivery will be sent once Canada Post is available again.

Thank you again to all of you who made Dapper Dingo possible all these years 🫶

It's like the universe is telling me it's time and it's okay 💜

I've come to this decision some time ago, and some time before that, before I truly accepted it. Although I've known this, I haven't been able to take the final step and announce it. So, the universe forced my hand (ankle 🤪 - see previous post if you missed it), and made it clear that it's time.

The reality is, it became unpractical to continue doing this as a side business, but it also wasn't providing to become full time. Making product (which I love) is only a small portion of what happens behind the scenes, and doing that alone isn't enough. Additional hours need to be spent on social, inventory, marketing, markets, customer service, emails, website building, etc etc.
So please, show your most loved small businesses some love (and patience!!) and feel free to tag them in the comments to share them with other pet parents.

I've given myself some personal time back and already resparked my love for reading (Onyx Storm I'm waiting for you), and I will now be focusing on planning my wedding 💍🥹

I'm forever grateful for all of you that have made this journey possible over the last 4+ years. I've met so many incredible people and dogs and I'm so happy to be able to learn (so much!) from this experience.

📢 The website will remain open, timeline TBD, as I work to clearout my premade inventory (stay tuned for more on this soon). Unfortunately, custom orders are now closed indefinitely.

Thank you 🫶

🌻Shop Update🌻

Earlier this month we got back from a much needed, 3 week long vacation in Spain and...I got engaged!!💍🥰

We've been taking some time to enjoy this new chapter and focus on what's next!

I'll be honest and say I was desperate for that break to take a step back, get off social and unwind - and I loved it.

If you're still reading, I appreciate you 🙌

With all of this to say, I have thought long and hard and have decided to take a step back over the summer months. What does this mean exactly?
🐾 Custom orders will close end of day July 1st, but the store will remain open with ready to ship items
🐾 This will speed up processing times as all items available will be packed and shipped within a couple days
🐾 Your favourite model codes will still be available for use
🐾 I will still be attending my next 2 markets in July & September
🐾 I will update the website shortly after July 1st with the current premade stock

I appreciate you all for your love and support, I'll still be around here so don't hesitate to reach out 🥰

If you have questions, or requests for specific items to be available, DM me or add them in the comments!
