Product Innovations
Dirty Dog Doormat™. One of our best success stories to date, surpassing consumer and retail expectations. Featuring an Advanced Microfiber Technology™ that traps water, mud and dirt instantly, soaking up to seven times its weight in mud and water. It dries five times faster than ordinary doormats and can be machine-washed and dried.- Aspen Parka.This past year we launched our sporty new wind and waterproof Aspen Parka. The combination of smart design and Dog Gone Smart™ Technology made this jacket a home run for both our retailers and their canine customers.
- Nanosuede- For the first time ever, there is faux suede that stays clean. Our Nanosuede beds feature luxurious faux suede and our Dog Gone Smart Technology. Now there is a plush bed that stays clean and reduces the spread of odor causing bacteria. We also redesigned our best selling quilted jackets to now feature full chest coverage, Nanosuede fabrics, and a higher quality Velcro for a better fit.
- Horse Wear™. Dog Gone Smart's™ new advanced moisture management finish, combines two technologies in one product. The outside is finished with a stain, dirt, and liquid repellent Nanotechnology treatment, while the underside features a wicking function to absorb perspiration, preventing chills and overheating. Both the outside and inside feature our patented bacteriostatic which prevents the growth and spread of bacteria and fungus.
What to look for in 2014...
As part of our year-long celebration, we will be unveiling several new pet bed and apparel designs, colors and styles as well expanding our pet products offering. Stay tuned to see these exciting new products be unveiled throughout the year.
As quality never goes out of style, demand for our pet products continues to grow across the world. Dog Gone Smart looks forward to the challenge of growing and continuing to be the global leader in innovative solution based pet products.

Where can I find the dirty dog doormat in Minneapolis? Or for that matter in Iowa? I love the one I bought in Rochester, MN and would like to purchase one for my son.
Thank you,
