My Sunshine Pet Apparel

My Sunshine Pet Apparel Mission

The mission of My Sunshine Pet Apparel is to make high-quality pet products and to help homeless animals find homes.

My Sunshine Pet Apparel Story

Helping homeless animals has always been an integral part of the lives of the owners, Amy and David Buddenbaum.  They have adopted numerous animals from rescues. They feel their passion in life is to help save as many animals as possible.  

My Sunshine Pet Apparel started when Amy was off work from foot surgery.  She started watching YouTube videos to learn how to make leashes and collars.  For Christmas that year she got a sewing machine from David and started the business! Her idea was to make safe, sturdy, long-lasting collars and leashes for cats and dogs. She knew that good quality and fashionable collars and leashes are hard to find. She was determined to create high-quality collars and leashes while still making sure they are fashionable. David wanted to be more involved thus he started making pet beds.  They followed the same principles of quality and fashion. Soon they had expanded with all-natural organic dog soap.  

Their first year was great.  They found success and enjoyed making all their products and running a business.  But something was missing…. How to help the homeless animals.

My Sunshine Pet Apparel Purpose

This business helps Amy and David  pursue their passion for saving homeless animals.   Amy and David knew that a dog with a fashionable collar might be more likely to get adopted. They decided that a portion of every purchase will go toward making and donating “Adopt Me” collars for local rescue organizations to use at their adoption events.  Thus, every time you purchase a My Sunshine Pet Apparel product you are helping homeless animals!

My Sunshine Pet Apparel soaps are made with all-natural organic soap. The ingredients are: oatmeal flour, goat milk, lavender essential oil, lemongrass essential oil, chamomile essential oil, shea butter, and coconut oil. 

Directions: Rub on wet fur to create small lather, leave on for 1-2 minutes. Rise soap well. 

*Note: since we do not use any chemicals that soap will not create a rich lather, but it will still get your dog clean!

*Note do not use on cats!

A Martingale collar is a type of dog collar that provides more control over the animal without the choking effect of a slip collar or prong collar.

A Martingale collar is made with two loops. The larger loop is put around the dog's neck and a lead is then clipped to the smaller loop. When the dog tries to pull, the tension on the lead pulls the small loop taut, which makes the large loop smaller and tighter on the neck, thus preventing escape. When properly fitted, the collar will be comfortably loose whenever the dog is not pulling against the leash. 

Martingale collars have gained popularity in recent years with trainers now recommending them in place of prong choke or slip collars. 

My Sunshine Pet Apparel's Martingale Collars are stitched above industry standards so they are made to last.  We use heavy duty hardware and welded D-rings. 

Large collars measure 18 inches to 26 inches.

Medium collars measure 14 inches to 19 inches.

*Note: if you need a custom size send an email after you order to Sunshinepetapparel@yahoo.com.

Our small dog collars are stitched above industry standards so they are made to last.  We use heavy-duty hardware and welded D-rings. 

Small Collar collars measure 9-13 inches. 

*Note: if you need a custom size send an email after you order to sunshinepetapparel@yahoo.com.

All of our large and small leashes measure 6 feet long.  They feature a large handle with a d-ring.  They are not only fashionable but, high quality and durable.

Our hands-free system is an amazing tool for those who push a stroller, are runners, have problems holding things with their hands, or any other reason you don't want to have to hold a leash!  It is worn like a belt, with a leash attached via an extra strong carabiner.  The belt is adjustable, 30 inches to 52 inches.  The lead is approximately 3.5 feet long.  Leads can be made longer upon special request.

My Sunshine Pet Apparel beds are machine washable. The beds are reversible.  One side is a warmer fleece fabric and the flip side is made of a cooler cotton fabric.  This allows you to flip the bed with the seasons.

Beds measure 21 inches X 31 inches.
