SUNDODGZ™, born from the inspiration of J.K. Johnson, who endeavored to revolutionize outdoor experiences for dogs and their owners. Faced with the challenge of finding a suitable beach shelter, the idea evolved into a versatile, portable solution that not only prioritizes the safety and comfort of dogs but also addressed the practical needs of owners. From initial frustration to collaborative innovation, SUNDOGZ™ emerged, offering a comprehensive solution adaptable to various terrains.
