Kristin Juszczykhas createdmemorable outfitsfor many, but not for her two Samoyed dogs, Mozzarella and Pierogi.

“They absolutely despise clothes,” she says. “I think it would be really fun, and actually, so many people message me to make matching outfits for your dogs, but Pierogi hates it. When I put clothes on them, their faces melt, and they freeze and don’t move; they get really upset. So I feel like it’s wrong.”

While the dog mom, who runs anInstagram accountwith her husband for their pups, hasn’t crafted outfits for Mozzarella and Pierogi, the pets still play a significant role in her design process. She often shares on social media how her dogs interrupt her work.

She continues, “They love being all up in the mix. I always say they’re my interns and that I’m going to report them to HR.”

Fortunately, Kristin says, they’ve never destroyed a project she’s worked on. “Mozzarella would never,” she explains. “She’s never been a dog that eats things she shouldn’t. We always joke with Kyle, saying, ‘No meat, no eat,’ because if it’s not meat, she looks at you with a face of disgust. We’ve tried to give her an apple, and she’s like, ‘Get this out of my face.’ If it’s not meat, she doesn’t want it.”

“Rogie, on the other hand, is a bit more of a troublemaker,” she says. “She’ll dabble in shoes every now and then, which is definitely not fun. But no, she hasn’t taken any of my projects, though I’d never leave them on the floor because of that.”

Kristin, Kyle, and their Samoyeds partnered withPurinato launch the brand’s “For the Win” challenges, which are games designed to strengthen the bond between dogs and their pet parents.
