Our story
It's the little things in life.
As a dedicated owner of two dogs, Emma and Charlotte, and a long-time healthcare professional, I have personally seen how a holistic approach to wellness can significantly improve quality of life and longevity—for humans and animals alike.
Following the loss of my dog, Ella, to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), I patented the “Ella Harness". This canine harness is specifically designed to optimize spinal stabilization and help alleviate debilitating, life-threatening issues. I am excited to share this and other health, wellness, and safety items with you through Spoiled Dog Designs, while continuing the creative legacy of Patt and Edith.
A business is an extension of oneself, and Spoiled Dog Designs represents the perfect alignment of three women sharing a passion for helping other dog owners. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your journey with your furry friends.

Our Mission:
- Make and sell items that fit well, are completely functional, safe and are comfortable for your dog while being creative and have great style. Your dog will look and feel great in these designs and be safe.
- Products made by other manufacturers, are made in the USA whenever possible with the same standard of quality. All new products are sampled and used by their staff to make sure it does what it claims to do before offering it to you. And that enables them to give better instructions about the product. If you have questions about any products, email them or ask them on Facebook, they're always glad to share what we know.
- Fit all dogs, no matter breed, size, or 'figure". They created a size chart for the basic sizes. If your dog does not fit into these ranges, or has a special figure, no problem, they'll make the item just for him/her. There's a Custom Sizing feature on the product pages where you can add your dog's measurements so the item can be made to fit your dog. That takes the fit worry out of ordering.
- Share knowledge and information and welcome you to do the same.
- Support efforts for adoption, rescue, spay, and neutering of pets.
- Laugh and have fun.
Spoiled Dogs History
Patt Savastano
Founder
Patt Savastano founder, has been sewing for as long as she remembers. And only stopped when the pressures of the corporate career took over.
When her first Chihuahua, Angelo, arrived, he was always cold. So, she looked for cute outfits that had a harness built in. Frustration quickly grew since none of the big retailers had anything like that. They had cheap clothing and harnesses. There were no clothes with built in harnesses that were high quality and fit well.
And so, Spoiled Dog Designs was born. Using her history of making clothes, designs with a built in harnesses became a reality.
Now, happily retired.
Edith
Boss Mom
Edith moved to Palm Springs from the Catskill Mountains in New York to live with Patt and brought her 50 yr old Singer sewing machine with her. She started immediately sewing blankets, quilts (she was still quilting by hand), bandanas, slings and coats and sewed until March of 2012 when she broke her hip at 94. She passed on in November 2012 and was very big part of the early days of this business.
Angelo
Inspiration
Oct. 2003 - July 2019 Angelo, a Chihuahua, was born in Puerto Vallarta, Mex. and came to the United States at 5 weeks old. He was the inspiration for starting this business and building harnesses into all our clothes. At 6 pounds and a perfect size small, he was our fit model for all boys clothes. He loved his work! And you could see in his face that he was proud of what he did. Spoiled Dog Designs would not have started without his inspiration.
Seamstresses:
We have a small team of seamstresses who turn my ideas and sketches into the fabulous products you see on our pages. They are very talented and I am blessed that they walked into my life.
Our items are cut one at a time, sewn locally by our little team.
Thank you,
