vavadog: hip gear for the urban pet

DECORATE YOUR DOG WITH STYLE!
Vavadog brings the perfect gift home for the holidays

Los Angeles, CA (August 2004)  Deck the halls? No, deck the dogs! For pet owners and lovers, Vavadog is the perfect gift.

This holiday season, owners and creators of San Francisco-based Vavadog, Marietta & Kevin Bernstein, created a line of fashion-forward and sensible clothing for dogs. From Los Angeles to Buffalo, there's something for every climate and canine.

"One reason Vavadog is set apart from other brands is because we are the only company that manufactures styles for dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Danes," says Marietta Bernstein. "We also pay close attention to fashion trends and incorporate them into our line."

For pets in blistery climates, Vavadog offers a collection of wool sweaters, including a striped turtleneck sweater in red/black, green/brown, or pink/orange, as well as a festive cotton striped scarf in sherbet or Kelly green. The scarves even come in human-sizes so pet owners can dress to match!

For urbanites in warmer temps, the line also features "rock star" boy-beater tanks with blue sequin stars, a preppy dog Polo tee with embroidered dog bone on the collar, and a variety of matching human & canine tees.

Vavadog styles are crafted in the highest quality cotton and wool. "We have two Chihuahuas, Miklos and Kobe, who act as our Quality Assurance Team Members," Bernstein says. "If a piece of clothing doesn't fit right, or the dogs seem uncomfortable, we'll rework it until they love it!"

Vavadog clothing comes in sizes 10 to 22: from tiny teacup to Great Dane. Prices range from $22 to $72 at www.vavadog.com and Marshall Fields, among others.
