Pickle & Polly is breaking the internet! These instagramable, tent and teepee-inspired pet beds and pet products are all the rage. Pets (and their owners) are wild about them! Tim, founder of Pickle & Polly<\/a>, shares more about their products and purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No longer do we live in a culture of \u201coutside dogs and cats\u201d only, \u201cwe treat our animals like family (and sometimes even better than family)\u201d Tim says. For many of us, our animals provide emotional lifelines as faithful companions eager to jump on us and shower us with love and affection. And we can\u2019t help but spoil our animals as well. For the devoted fur parent, Pickle & Polly\u2019s products can\u2019t be missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puppy Love at First Sight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Committed to creating \u201chigh quality, safe and premium pet products,\u201d Pickle & Polly delivers only \u201cthe best for best friends.\u201d From hypoallergenic cleaning supplies to chenille micro-fiber towels and mats, Pickle & Polly\u2019s founder won\u2019t sell anything he wouldn\u2019t use for his own beloved pup, Pickle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yup. You guessed it, Pickle joined Tim’s family in the most irresistible fashion. \u201cSo, did you get a puppy for your daughter yet?\u201d Tim\u2019s aunt mentioned at a family gathering. Tim started hearing random comments from friends and family that his daughter constantly expressed wanting a puppy. Even her elementary school teacher wrote in a review that she frequently talked about how much she wanted a puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Tim eventually caved. Pickle obviously left an indelible impact on their family, with \u201cPolly\u201d becoming a pseudonym for Tim\u2019s wife, who immediately fell in love with Pickle. The two became inseparable. When Polly saw Pickle, it was love at first sight. No other puppy could persuade her otherwise, not even Pickle\u2019s nearly-identical brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polly soon discovered that it wasn’t as easy as she thought to give Pickle, a Daschund Pug, \u201ca high quality<\/a> and safe lifestyle. She looked into his sad puppy eyes and said, \u2018I just want the best for my best friend.\u2019\u201d And so, \u201cPickle & Polly was born with a mission of giving back to our furry friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim\u2019s wife, who is working on a doctorate in nursing, inspired not only part of the company name, but their \u201cDr. Polly\u201d line of chemically-safe products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Purrfect Gifts for Your Pet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tim\u2019s story of Pickle & Polly exemplifies perseverance in the middle of obstacles. The Pickle & Polly team is constantly learning, with tenacious, sometimes trial and error test marketing to constantly improve their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Pickle & Polly\u2019s pet tents and teepees were blue to correspond to the color of their logo. But they soon discovered that neutral colors proved far more popular. People wanted their pet furniture to match the color scheme of their home interior. \u201cPickle & Polly teepees are becoming part of living rooms,\u201d Tim explains. Needless to say, Pickle & Polly took note and changed their product line to feature more neutral colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After working as a product manager for a few big names in retail and e-commerce ten years ago, Tim knew that a consistent product and exceptional customer experience were foundational for Pickle & Polly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Pickle & Polly started in 2019, it found itself facing pandemic-related challenges and other delays (which so many of us can relate to.) Navigating supply chain issues while striving for safe and quality manufacturing sourcing has kept Tim and his team on their toes. \u201cThe quality of the sourcing is essential to protect animals from accidentally ingesting anything harmful. Stronger materials keep products from breaking.\u201d Pickle & Polly keeps the well-being of your pets their top priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the comfy tent\/teepees are currently designed primarily for small – medium-sized animals like dogs, cats, and even bunnies, Pickle & Polly hopes to expand their product line soon. Look for products like ultra-safe, durable and long-lasting toys and possibly even a health-product line like vitamins and supplements for pets. Everything they do revolves around providing premium products for your pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Pawparrazi Following<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a few years of obstacles, Pickle & Polly turned a corner one day and \u201dso far there\u2019s no looking back,\u201d Tim says. After achieving rave reviews like the \u201cnumber one best overall pet bed,\u201d the \u201conly challenge now is keeping up with the surge in demand thanks to individuals like pet influencers of Instagram,\u201d Tim shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickle & Polly\u2019s tents and teepees have gained so much attention that their Instagram<\/a> is virtually self-sustaining. It’s difficult to pull yourself away from the long feed of endearing pictures shared by owners of adorable animals nestled into their plush Pickle & Polly abodes. Countless owners regularly tag Pickle & Polly in their enthusiastic, doting images of their pets tucked into tents and teepees, sometimes even decorated for the holidays, pet\u2019s birthdays, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barking Up the Right Tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pickle & Polly\u2019s popularity has turned marketing experiments into community-fostering events. \u201cWe just said, hey we\u2019re going to do a photo shoot, come bring your dog and here\u2019s the address. Tons of people showed up. We rented a house for the day and had product placement and a professional photographer. It was so great. It was easy because everybody loves their dog. We constantly get people who are pet influencers who reach out and want to help partner with us. Everybody wants to pamper their pet and we want to help.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to using NumberBarn services like porting and forwarding, Pickle & Polly recently set up an advanced call menu through NumberGarage<\/a>. They hired a professional voice actor for both a recent brand video, and a new call menu. \u201cWe just made a brand video and I also set up the phone number system. We had a voice acting professional record the voiceover for us and it turned out great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
