A little about Elaine

-Elaine Doran
Puppy Hugger
Where it all began...
It was Chelsea – Elaine’s ruby Cavalier that inspired her to design a luxury dog bed that ticked off all the boxes she felt were important: baby-soft fabrics; double-stitching; reversible (like 2 beds in one); safe, one-piece construction; enough stuffing to survive the ‘squish’ test & best of all a shape that mimicked your pups’ favorite curled up sleeping position – no digging required! And, of course, it also had to look good! And so, in 2004, with the help of her then partner Judy McAuliff, the Puppy Hugger C-shape dog bed was born. Before long the dynamic duo introduced beds in all shapes & sizes, & a full line of luxury pet accessories including pet blankets, crate pads and pet carrier inserts.
Customer service is what helps us stand out from the crowd. We’re always available to listen to special requests & want nothing more than for everyone’s pet to love their dog bed or pet blanket for a long time.

The Fabrics
The best way to describe them is touchy-feely. Brilliant, non-fading colors have led to our extensive line of people-sized throws – especially popular with college kids.
