About Us

One day in 1999, our founder (and my mother-in-law) Helen saw her beloved dog Sam do something especially bright. So, she dressed him in one of her University of Pennsylvania sweatshirts and sent him downstairs to share the news with the family.

From this demonstration of dog-owner pride—and a highly refined sense of haute doggie couture—Campus Canine was born.

Campus Canine is still a family affair: my mother Karyn and I (Polly) run the business with the enthusiastic help of our husbands and, of course, family dogs Rocky Road, Gabby, and Pipsqueak. They are our models, toy and taste testers, and companions.

We delight in sharing our love for dogs and hope you enjoy perusing our site. If you'd like to share a story about your bright dog, a photo of your dog wearing or using one of our products, a comment, or don't see what you're looking for, please drop us a line or call us at 847-229-1046.

We want our beloved pets—and yours—to be happy, healthy, and safe. So, with a commitment to our customers and a twinkle in our eye, we at CampusCanine.com offer toys, treats, clothes, and accessories to keep your pet engaged and active.

We pride ourselves on a wide and interesting variety of quality and fun products at competitive prices. We offer prompt and fairly-priced shipping, top-notch service, and a willingness to respond to your questions and needs.
