FIDO Success Stories

Carrie Hunter, District Manager
Boulder, Colorado

I do not believe in chance; things happen for a reason. If you are thinking FIDO is not for you, I encourage you to give it some serious consideration. This just may turn out to be your vehicle to an extraordinary life full of freedom, fulfillment, purpose and hope.

I have always hoped and strived for a successful career, a full and rewarding family life with friendships that would sharpen and challenge me to be better. There was a time in my life just before FIDO when I thought I would have to choose between these dreams. I thought there was no way to have it all. FIDO has opened my eyes and expanded my feeling of hope. This journey has blessed and transformed me in so many ways; I am grateful for the opportunity to share this gift with so many others.



Carl Shoemaker, Area Manager
Corvalis, Oregon

FIDO has given me the opportunity to achieve my goal of owning my own business. I spent a lot of time looking for a business that I could believe in and you gave that to me. Your support staff was always available to help me overcome the challenges I met along the way. I must admit that I was a little nervous at the beginning of my journey with FIDO. But, I followed your plan and with the tools you gave me and my dedication, I have achieved what many people desire: I own my own business. I am excited to go to work. I get to meet new and exciting people all the time. I work with a product I believe in and I have the best boss in the world, me. Go Beavers!

FIDO has changed my life. Ever since I began working for the company I have been much happier in all aspects. The people working at FIDO are warm and compassionate and really care about not only the companies well-being but also animal well-being. This company has done so much for me in terms of having free-time to spend with the three dogs I have adopted and allowing me to incorporate my real-life best friends with the industry in which I work in. This company has been so great in hiring new employees like myself who wanted to work in the canine outerwear industry and letting our talent really show through. FIDO gives all employees a chance to really be creative in not only the canine attire itself but also in the business end in terms of marketing and getting our name out there. FIDO has really taken off and I think it is due to this unique approach to business. FIDO has been the best work experience I have had to date and I look forward to the years ahead with this wonderful company.

I just threw my first party at work. And, as you might imagine, it was a HUGE success!!! Four out of five of my guests have signed up to work under me, hosting their own parties, moving me into the next level! I didn’t think it could be this easy. I am on my way to that Vespa with a side car that FIDO offers, and I can’t wait to sit my dog Frankie next to me on the wide open road. Here I come Freedom, here I come!



Arun Sambandam, Host
Chicago, Iliinois

Hello. I love FIDO products! I make one every year for my dog’s birthday, her name is Georgie. The best part is that since I am a host, I get great deals on products from FIDO!!! FIDO’s Future Line is her favorite! I think it’s so great that FIDO is aware of the dangers of acid rain and environmental turmoil! I am at peace with the uncertainty of the future now that FIDO is here to protect…. and decorate!!

I'm the kind of girl that hates to throw away stuff.
Taking my old clothes, odds and ends and turning them into something useful with FIDO was definitely something I could get into – and I was looking for a new creative challenge. It's turned out to be so much fun. My husband actually got into it too – posting photos for all our friends and pet-friends to see! As if dog people weren't already social enough, it turns out that he and Scottie get all kinds of compliments on walks. They both love the attention. It's generated interest and I'm getting requests now!
