About Us
At Roxie's Redone Doggie Duds we rescue fabrics that otherwise would
have been thrown away. Our inspiration comes from our little dog Roxie
who as a puppy was dumped, found sick and scared and eventually rescued
to a new life. Roxie now works as a service dog and companion. We believe
that like Roxie, everything, and everyone, deserves a second (or third,
or fourth) chance at a new life and a new usefulness.
All of our fun, functional, quality products are made from re-used and
post consumer fabrics. While most green pet companies make items out of
"virgin" materials such as hemp that are harvested, processed
and manufactured for one thing, we collect scrap textiles from manufacturers
that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. We also give a second
life to discarded clothing by cleaning, deconstructing and remaking them
into quality items for your animal companion. We also incorporate, as
often as we can, re-used clasps, buttons, hooks and embellishments.
By re-using fabrics we are not only reducing items ending up in the landfill,
we are limiting the production of toxins. For every conventional cotton
shirt produced in the U.S., a 1/4 pound of chemical fertilizer and pesticides
are used. These toxins have been linked to water contamination. The fertilizers
have been linked to "blue baby syndrome" and traditional dye
processes involve heavy metals that are known carcinogens.
