FOUNDER / DONNA
Meet the Crazy Pug Lady
Donna is a proud “Crazy Pug Lady” and has spent 20 years shopping for her fur-children Louis (a.k.a Fatdog), Winston, Charles, Rosie and Kenji; learning the hard way how to find clothes and accessories that fit and reflected their unique pawsonalities.
Donna started Pug Parties, with the support of her partner Andrew, because she knew that there were Pug-Pawrents out there wanting to showcase their Pugs pawsonalities, but didn’t have the time or money to buy, return and buy again clothing and accessories that do not meet their Pugs needs or shape.
Now, after years of shopping and talking with Pug Pawrents about everything that annoys them about buying outfits for their Pugs, Donna, Rosie and Kenji have launched their first collection of Puggie Pawfect clothes, called the Pugs 'n' Stripes Collection.
It has been a labour of love for all three of them, and they hope that you love your pawfectly fitting outfit as much as they loved creating them.
-
The Vision
We believe passionately that buying outfits for your Pugs should be exciting and fun.
-
The Mission
To offer Pugs of all shapes and sizes outfits that reflect their personality and put the zoomie in their step when they’re wearing it.
-
The Goal
To offer all Puggies fun, fitting, harness friendly outfits as sustainably as possible.
Meet Rosie & Kenji
Donna, and her Partner Andrew, have been blessed with the love of four Rescue Puggies (Louis, Winston, Charles and Kenji) and as well as the loving gift of Rosie from friends when Charles needed a friend the most.
They lost Louis to old age in 2009 and Winston to medical complications in 2020, Charles in 2022 to dementia and feel blessed to have had both in their lives.
Kenji is a beautiful soulful boy, who loves to go for walks, runs at play group with Grumble mates half his age and loves an ear scratch from his favourite hooman, Mum.
Rosie is a Daddy’s Girl, who loves the couch but prefers sitting next to Dad looking up at him with her Puggie-eyes waiting for Dad to give her a snackie or two.
Both hold the position of top Puggie Super Model as well as being the paws behind the business.
The Pug Life Show

Donna, Rosie and Kenji love making new fur-ends so much that they host a PUGCAST called “The Pug Life Show”, where they get to talk to Puggies and their Hooman’s about their Pug Life, as well as talk to businesses or experts that understand the Pug Life and want to help every Puggie live their best life.
The Show and Facebook Group are a place where ‘Crazy Pug-Pawrents’ can meet and share their Pug Life without fear of being “Pug-shamed” if you have a Pug-cross, “Fat-shamed” if your Pug is nicely rounded, or any other type of ‘shamed’ because every Puggie is beautiful and every Pug-Pawrent is beautifully crazy.
We’d love to meet you so please join the Group, and watch/come on the Show.
Meet our Super-models
All of our Super-models test our products and let us know in no uncertain terms what they think of the product.
If our Puggies don't give us four paws of approval for our collection, we don't make it available for our Grumble friends.
Compare their measurements to your Puggie to help with sizing or decisions on fit, colour or style.
