Meet the Dogs behind Sweet Lemon Design
Inspired by real life with dogs.
Sweet Lemon Design began with three very special dogs: Lemon, Fig, and Wilson.
Their unique personalities, adventures, and individual needs inspire every thoughtfully handcrafted piece we create — because the gear you reach for every day should become a trusted part of life with your dog.
Lemon, our Australian Labradoodle therapy dog, inspired the creation of Sweet Lemon Design and continues to remind us of the connection between people and their beloved dogs.
As a therapy dog, Lemon became part of everyday life — from going to work with her Mama at the bank, weekend farmers market trips to outdoor hiking adventures, working sessions at local schools, the library and assisted living home visits and all the meaningful moments in between. Finding gear that felt both beautiful and functional was harder than expected.
Most options felt overly bulky, too tactical, or lacked the thoughtful details we were looking for.
So we started researching and creating our own.
What began as a search for versatile, well-designed gear slowly became Sweet Lemon Design — a handcrafted collection of Biothane collars, leashes, and everyday essentials designed to blend durability, comfort, and intentional design.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed with real life in mind: muddy walks, puppy stages, training sessions, weekend adventures, therapy visits, and all the ordinary moments that become the most meaningful.
At Sweet Lemon Design, we believe dog gear should feel just as special as the dogs wearing it.
Thank you for being here and allowing us to create something meaningful for you and your furry best friend.

Meet Fig…
Figgy Mae. Figgy Brown Bear.
Fig is an Australian Labradoodle with aspirations of becoming a therapy dog herself. At just 11 months old, she’s equal parts best friend to Lemon and sweet, mischievous teddy bear. Whether she’s testing new adventures, showing off color combinations, or keeping us on our toes, Fig brings joy, personality, and a little bit of playful chaos to Sweet Lemon Design.
Meet Wilson …
Wilson, our Westie, reminded us that every dog has unique needs. His journey inspired us to create a collection for dogs with sensitive skin because we believe every dog deserves thoughtfully designed gear. Created with comfort and everyday wear in mind, our Comfort Collar proves that style and comfort can go paw in paw.
