At Snoozer, we’ve been dedicated to giving pets a great place to snooze since 1985. We’re not just a company, though—We’re a dynamic, caring, hard-working collection of dog-loving people! When we say “For Dog People. By Dog People,” that’s what we mean. We make the kind of beds we want, that we want for our own dogs.
When you call, chat, or email Snoozer, you’re not speaking to a 3rd-party answering service…You’re speaking to us! You’re speaking to one of these wonderful, caring human beings who love dogs and who are committed to providing you with a quality product, answering all your questions, and ensuring you have a 5-star experience.
When you buy a Snoozer product, your product isn’t being drop-shipped from an assembly line in who knows where. Each Snoozer bed and car seat is sewn, handmade, boxed, and shipped by one of our craftspeople at our plant right here in Piedmont, South Carolina.
When we talk about what makes Snoozer special, it all starts with the people. So please take a moment to get to know the people that make Snoozer wonderful!

Meet Erika, the Customer Service wizard at Snoozer Pet Products! Hailing from the charming state of Georgia, Erika’s childhood played out along the beautiful Carolina Coast, and she now calls the vibrant city of Greenville, SC her home sweet home.
