Devastating news today.. Etsy shut my shop down. Yes I’m appealing it, but it can take 2 weeks.

Current Etsy orders WILL be fulfilled and shipped!

If you want to support my shop, my website and Instagram are still going strong, I will be migrating products to Instagram and TikTok shop, as well as my website, RiverDogGear.com.

We will get through this. I really hope that my 17 years as a seller on Etsy’s platform will count for something, but talking to customer service human is next to impossible, so we will see. Thank you for all of your support, I’m going to go hug my dogs. 🐾 💕

As a first responder (search and rescue), this is one of my fav vests I have ever made! Firefighter turnout themed vest for a very special service dog team, isn’t this customers design simply stunning? Can’t wait for photos on the dog, what a beautiful tribute to firefighters.

When you have office assistants as cute as these, getting to your embroidery machine is secondary 💕 🐾

Do your dogs insist on being at your feet too? How do you get around?

Have a harness that doesn’t allow direct embroidery? No worries! My original Tri Fold design Handle Wrap fits around any Ruffwear handle, enabling you to customize your harness.

YES it can fit other 1” wide handles! These are small so text needs to be short and sweet. 6 character maximum.

Purple and Lilac Cassidy Harness Cape with custom patches in Lavender. What a stunning Cape! Cassidy capes have flat pockets and are designed to attach to your dogs harness (must have the attachment rings) with snap loops and the belly strap secures it in place.

Great for carrying slim items like medications, personal items, paperwork and medical info.

I’m considering offering embroidery designs as a single Add On listing, you select the color and size of your vest, and the entire embroidery design comes as one complete Add On. This could simplify the customization process. What do you think?

Custom printed spoonflower fabric is ON SALE! This is rare, so if you’ve been holding out for a deal on your Dog Vest with custom fabric, this is it!

**I never up-charge on custom printed fabric, you get it at cost because it’s important to me that your vest speaks your story and doesn’t break the bank.

Order before Saturday Dec 16 and I’ll grab your custom printed fabric at this price. (It’s normally $30)

My goof is your GAIN! Ready to ship Ruffwear Webmaster dog Harness with 1x4” Loop (soft side) added. $60. Size: XXS (13”-17”)

This was a failed direct embroidery experiment, so there is mild damage on the underside only - a few small threads and tiny hole in the under-fabric. No damage is visible from the outside of the vest.

Sells as is, meaning I won’t add embroidery to this harness. You can add slim 1x4” hook-backed patches to it.
