On this episode, I’m talking to Dr. Kathy Burnell, a veterinarian who is also the creator of Puplid, a dog gear brand designed to help pups with sun sensitivities. A lot of dogs can be sensitive to the sun. Kathy and her husband Tony were inspired by their dog Buddy’s struggles to create this new product. When Buddy’s hat got compliments at the beach and around town, Kathy knew Puplid could be a business! Her veterinary expertise combined with Tony’s engineer skills helped them to create a hat that not only looks cute, but serves a protective function and is more comfortable for dogs to wear than other alternatives. She talked to me about some of the challenges of running a product business and how important it is to hire a good team to help you grow.
