With the help of PupSocks, a smartphone and $25, pet owners will never have to leave home without their best friend, as they will be wearing their very own customized dog socks.
PupSocks takes an uploaded photo, designs socks and in as little as seven business days, a customer will be the coolest dog mom or dad at the dog park. PupSocks has also branched out to shoes, tote bags and more. Those who aren't the proud owner of a pup can also print a cat or even a significant other.
PupSocks is committed to helping every animal in need—part of the profits are used to support organizations like the Humane Society and Ahisma House.
