Fashion for dogs...trendy or just barking mad!

During the 90’s one of the most popular shows on TV was the BBC’s Clothes Show. Kevin had opened a couple of pet stores in the early 90’s called ‘Petcentric’ and part of the merchandise included Couture Coats for Dogs. It was a great idea as some of the pet owning population were looking for high-spend pet items. This gave Kevin’s relatively new business a much needed publicity boost. What could be better than an interesting feature included on one of the most popular people programmes.
