When Jenn Wong and Santos Agustin first met working in fashion, they bonded right away.

They connected over shared interest in the ethics and sustainability of their industry. Coincidentally, both brought home rescue dogs, Ollie and Miles, around the same time. 

The foundation for their friendship soon sparked an idea: a business that would combine slow fashion with their love of dogs. 

This is a common question among pet owners. In the past two years, there has been exponential  growth in popularity of pet ownership (Business Insider). The pet product industry has also seen significant growth over the years – however, it has been a bit slow in adjusting to the new values-driven approach to consumerism, especially as it relates to sustainability. It’s always sad to see millions of dog products being produced using non-recyclable materials and coming from factories that continuously harm the environment.

Women-owned, female- founded shop’s grand opening to benefit Paws NY, others

NEW YORK -- Gone To The Dogs, an e-commerce purveyor of artisanal and earth-friendly pet goods touted by BuzzFeed and Time Out, announces the grand opening of its first brick-and-mortar shop in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn.

What's the story behind Gone to the Dogs? Santos and I spill the beans on how we came up with our vision of an ethical pet brand and why it's so important to work directly with women makers and build an equitable, eco-friendly enterprise that supports the pet community.
