At Golly Gear, we know that Mastiffs and Maltese have very different needs!
We tried, for years, to find stuff for our little dogs that suited their size. Collars that fit, toys they could actually fetch, beds that snuggled them, treats that are snacks instead of meals. When we found wonderful products, we wanted to share them with all the other small dog people. That's why we opened Golly Gear, a small-dog store with a difference.
We know that dogs are dogs, regardless of their size. Sure, we can pick ours up. And we may be tempted, at times, to dress them up and carry them around. But most of the time they're dogs who play and snore and sniff and roll around in disgusting smells they find in the yard. They just look really cute doing it!

Goku (Rat Terrier) is wearing the MacDawg Pattern. About Golly Gear
a long and winding road ....
Our family has had small dogs since I was nine years old - which is way longer ago than I'd like to admit. And we've always had trouble finding "stuff" for them in the right sizes. Even things like leashes - the clasps were always so heavy, it seemed to weigh them down.So we started Golly Gear in a corner of our family bookstore. To make a long story short, we closed the bookstore and moved Golly Gear into its own space, where we get to play all day!
If you're ever in the Chicago area - stop by and see us! Golly Gear is at 7243 St. Louis Ave., Skokie, Illinois. We're open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
