A letter from the owner…
As a native Chicagoan, my husband and I moved to The Great Lone State in 2010. I quickly acclimated to the Texas sun, yet felt like something was missing in my new family. In 2014, an eight-week little West Highland Terrier named Eva came to our home and I fell completely in love. Fast forward 5 years, and my family grew to include: another West Highland Terrier, a German Shepard, and a mixed Belgian Malinois.
All four of my fur babies taught me many life lessons.
- Live in the moment
- Overcome fear with love
- Don’t hold grudges
- Play every day
- Jump for joy when you’re happy
- Accept yourself.
I absolutely fell in love with everything that encompasses being a pet caretaker. Not only is this my passion, but I knew that I wanted to find a way to spend time with dogs all the time.
Upon reflection, I decided to take the risk and start a business where I can live the life, they have taught me.
Since my fur babies are my inspiration and motivation, I wanted them to be the center and focus of my business. Our company name Dog D.A.S.E., holds great meaning. Living in Texas, we must deal with humidity and heat. The ancient Romans called the hottest, most humid days of summer “dies caniculares” or “dog days” D.A.S.E. stands for my 4 dogs: Delta, Astrid, Shayla, and Eva.
I treat all dogs like they are my own. Being the owner of Dog D.A.S.E. is an ongoing blessing and look forward to each and every day!
Family Friendly…Dog Approved.
