PUGS N STRIPES COLLECTION
Where is the Pugs n Stripes Collection Manufactured?
The Pugs n Stripes Collection is manufactured in Melbourne, Australia.
We are very lucky to be able to work with Dog Solitude to make our first collection, and hopefully we will work together on many more.
We hope to continue to manufacture in Australia and understand that our price reflects the quality of our choice.
What fabric is being used with the Pugs n Stripes Collection?
Both the T-shirt and the Dress utilise recycled polyester as their main fabric.
The Dress tutu is made with chiffon which is not recycled, however, we're looking for more sustainable options for future releases.
We would have loved for the fabric to have been manufactured in Australia, however, recycled polyester is only available from China.
Does the Pugs n Stripes Collection fit other dogs?
The Pugs n Stripes collection has been designed to fit brachycephalic breeds, such as Pugs, French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers.
The Pugs n Stripes collection should be able to fit dogs from the Toy breed, but we recommend that you measure your fur-baby and check prior to purchasing.
We're always happy to help and you can contact us through the store or through our social media accounts.
Can I put my Pus n Stripes Dress or T-shirt in the washing machine and dryer?
You can wash your Pugs n Stripes Dress or T-shirt in the washing machine on a delicate cycle.
Do not put your Pugs n Stripes Dress or T-shirt in the dryer; recycled polyester dries very quickly in a hanger or clothes line.
A clothes dryer will melt the fabric which would be awful for your Puggie ... and your dryer!
PUGGIE STYLING
WHAT IF I’M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC AND YOU DON’T HAVE IT?
We are here to help, and we are more than happy to look for that pawfect Puggie outfit you have in mind. You may not be the only Pawrent looking for that outfit and the Grumble would appreciate your suggestions as much as we will.
Contact us via this link HERE or our social media accounts, tell us what you’re looking for and what your Puggies measurements are and we’ll go hunting for it.
You never know what we might find, and we will try our hardest to help you out.
WHAT IF I’M NOT SURE ABOUT MY PUGGIES MEASUREMENTS?
Not to worry; if you have a squirmy Puggie who won’t sit or stand still long enough for you to get all three measurements then focus on the chest measurement. If you have the chest measurement, you can shop with confidence that a product will fit your Puggie.
If you’ve never measured your Puggie before, we’ve got you covered. Follow this link HERE and watch the video on how to measure your Puggie with our Pug Super-model Winston.
The page also describes what to do if you’d prefer to read the guidance first and then watch the video.
I SAW THAT YOU DONATE TO PUG RESCUE ORGANISATIONS, WHAT DO YOU DONATE?
We’re passionate about helping Puggies find a fur-ever home which is why we donate whenever we can. We believe it’s something small that we can do to brighten up their day in some way.
Pug Parties donates $1 of every sale to Pug Rescue and Adoption, we participate in Pug Community fundraising events such as PUGOWEEN, as well as gift product samples and returned products to Rescue Organisation that are undamaged so another Puggie (or dog) can feel as special as our Grumble friends do.
We love seeing happy Puggies and there is nothing better than seeing a Puggie on the day they head off to their fur-ever home with a big smile on their little wrinkled faces and a tail wagging a mile a minute in anticipation.
If you were not aware, Pug Rescue groups do a lot of work with no Government funding and every dollar donated goes to Puggie rehabilitation. So, if you’d like to donate (tax-deducible) and help a Puggie get healthy and find their fur-ever home, please click on the link HERE to be taken to their website.
PUG SUPERMODELS
HOW DO YOU RUN YOUR PHOTO SHOOTS?
We’ve heard anecdotes about how some Pawrents drug/sedate their Puggies to achieve the ‘perfect’ shot for their social media campaigns and we can understand why concerned Grumble members ask us if we follow the same practice.
We can categorically promise that not only are we horrified if that is what really happens, but also that we do not drug/sedate, nor force, our Pug Super-models to do anything they or their Pawrents do not want them to do.
Our photoshoots are planned to a certain degree, we use two photographers and a little bribery, in the form of their favourite treats, to entice our Pug Super-models to look at us when we’re shooting, but their Pawrents are present at all times. The second we think that a Puggie is not interested, or stressed, we undress them, give them lots of cuddles and let them play with all of their friends.
We believe that our photos should look natural and Puggies not looking at the camera is a natural reaction for them when there is a lot going on around them.
We have called off shoots early because we think that it’s not safe to proceed and we have never pressured out Pawrents to attend a photo shoot; they have the final say and we respect that at all times!
CAN I MEET THE PUG SUPER MODELS IN PERSON?
Not normally, it’s a tough life being a Super Model and they need their beauty sleep.
But when we have a photo shoot that is at a public venue, we do let you know via our social media accounts when it is happening, and you can visit to see the chaos and possibly meet our Puggies.
Everything we do with our Pug Super Models is tempered by what is best for them and their safety.
COLLECTIONS
WHERE DO YOUR SALE PRODUCTS COME FROM AND HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THEM?
Currently we source our products from manufacturers in South-east Asia; our long-term goal that we are working towards at the moment is to add to our offering products that we have designed and manufactured as well. We believe that we can offer products that give our Grumble friends the opportunity to purchase something to enhance their current wardrobe or create an entire outfit for your next pawty or event.
When choosing products, we have a number of criteria that we check the product against including sizing, fit, quality and affordability. Once we have shortlisted products that we believe will fit our Pug Super-models, we order product samples and test them out on a number of Puggies of different sizes.
Our testing routine includes assessing the physical product against our original selection criteria, as well as Puggie comfort when worn with a harness or when snoozing; things we know our Puggies love to do.
If our Puggies give us the nod of approval, i.e. they don’t try and tear the product off their body straight away, we offer it in our shop for our Grumble friends.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PURCHASE DOESN’T FIT/IS DEFECTIVE, CAN I RETURN IT? DO I GET A REFUND? CAN I GET ANOTHER SIZE?
Take a photo of the product/issue and please contact us on haylo@pugparties.com to let us know straight away. We want to get the issue/problem resolved as soon as possible, once proof of purchase has been verified.
Our returns policy lasts 30 days, so if 30 days have gone by since your purchase, please contact us anyway and let us know what the issue/problem is; we’ll work with you to try and resolve it as quickly as possible.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging, but we understand that sometimes that is not always possible and should not stop you from contacting us.
Depending on the issue/problem, we will arrange for the product to be returned to us for inspection. Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund, including the cost of postage.
If you are approved, and you have requested a refund it will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.
If you want a replacement product because you loved it and want your Puggie to have it, we will arrange for another to be delivered as quickly as possible. You will receive order updates as normal, so you’ll know when to expect it in your mailbox!
What happens to the returned product? We donate it to Pug Rescue organisations for Puggies looking for their fur-ever family. All of this information is available on our website at this link HERE as well as via a link in the footer of every page.
