$68,559 Donated to Help and Protect K9 Police Dogs and counting
Our goal with the K9 Body Armor collection was to create a symbolic way to show our support for our brave police force and to fundraise for body armor and the medical expenses of our injured K9 heroes. We’ve partnered with GreaterGood.org to contribute these funds where needed. They fought for us, now let’s fight for them!

iHeartDogs is not a charity. We are a privately owned for-purpose, for-profit company. We partner with charities to use products as a fundraising and awareness vehicle for the causes we support. Like all businesses, we have overhead that includes many employees, rent/utilities, campaigning costs to reach more passionate people (like yourself), etc.
When we created this program, we asked ourselves, what is the absolute maximum we can possibly donate to our charity partner, and still cover our expenses? The number we came up with was 20% of the sales amount.
First, we so appreciate your enthusiasm and commitment to the cause! We love the fact that you’re passionate about charities getting as much funding as possible. You can directly reach out to GreaterGood.org, our charity partner, for verification of our donations. Here is their contact info:

This very important program serves those that have served us. Police K9s put their lives on the line for us every day. They need protective gear, such as body armor, eyewear, and bulletproof vests. The K9 Body Armor program fundraises for this gear. Funds from this cause also support emergency veterinary funding for injured Police K9’s
The gift of a bulletproof and stab-proof vest for a Police K9 CAN save a K9’s life by keeping them safer when criminals fight back, in just the same way that these vests protect human officers while on duty.
When a K9 police dog is injured in the line of duty, good medical care is not always a given due to tight municipal budgets. Also, these budgets are often insufficient to provide these canine heroes with the body armor and bullet proof vests that they need. In many situations, especially when the injuries are severe, cities turn to citizens to fundraise for the medical care for an injured K9.
