Our story
It's the Little Things in Life
As the devoted owner of two dogs, Emma and Charlotte (little things), and a longtime healthcare professional, I have seen firsthand how a holistic approach to wellness can enhance quality of life and promote longevity - for people and animals alike.
After losing my beloved dog Ella to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), I was inspired to create and patent the Ella Harness. Designed to support spinal stabilization, this specialized canine harness may help reduce the risk of debilitating and potentially life-threatening complications.
Through Spoiled Dog Designs, I am honored to share the Ella Harness and other thoughtfully selected health, wellness, and safety products with fellow dog owners. I am equally proud to continue the creative legacy of Patt and Edith.
A business is an extension of the people behind it, and Spoiled Dog Designs reflects the shared vision of three women united by a passion for helping dogs and the people who love them. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting the journey you share with your furry companions.

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.
