This week’s Dog Tales feature shines a spotlight on Kathy Clarke, the creative force behind Glow Pups, a brand bringing joy and style to the lives of our furry friends. Founded in April 2021, Glow Pups specializes in a playful, colorful and durable collection of dog essentials, accessories and toys. From energetic pups who love to chew and play to cuddlers in need of a cozy companion, Glow Pups has something for every dog.
“We’ve crafted a collection of bright, fun and stylish dog essentials, accessories and toys that bring joy and comfort to your furry friends,” Kathy explains. “Our toys are designed to engage and entertain dogs of all sizes, while our braided leashes, chic beds and pet teepees provide the perfect retreat after a long day of play.”
Glow Pups also offers vacuum-insulated bowls that keep water cold and pet food fresh, making it both functional and fashionable for pets and their owners.
Kathy’s journey into the pet industry began long before Glow Pups was created. “I grew up on a farm and have always loved dogs,” she says. After running a dog-walking business for eight years, Kathy sold it to spend more time with her kids. But during the pandemic, she felt a pull back to her love of animals. “With newfound time on my hands and a passion for supporting animals in need, Glow Pups was born,” she adds.
What makes Glow Pups even more special is its commitment to giving back with a portion of its proceeds going directly to caring for foster animals and shelter dogs. Glow Pups also donates toys, beds and essentials to shelters and rescue organizations.
When asked what Dogtoberfest guests can expect from her booth, Kathy shared, “We’ll have a variety of items, including leashes, collars, dog bowls, beds, playful plush toys and teepees.” Each product is designed with love and care, ensuring that dogs not only look great but also have the comfort and playtime they deserve.
Kathy also has a special canine companion of her own, a dog named Jane. Kathy’s love for dogs shines through in everything she does, and it’s clear she has a deep appreciation for the bond between humans and their pets. “Dogs’ loyalty, their unique personalities, and their ability to find joy in the little things like a walk or playtime—it never ceases to amaze me,” she says.
Be sure to visit Glow Pups at the Doggy Marketplace during Dogtoberfest for stylish, high-quality products that both you and your pup will love, all while supporting a brand that gives back to animals in need.
