Our Story
Nicholas Mozas, Founder and President of DOGORA, has always had a deep love for animals. Growing up on his family farm near Niagara Falls, he formed a lifelong bond with them, inspiring his career in pet well-being.
At 15, he began volunteering at a veterinary clinic, later managing it after earning his Honours degree in Biological Science at the University of Guelph and an M.Sc. in Nutrigenomics. This experience deepened his understanding of pet healthcare and the critical role comfort plays in a pet’s daily life.
“The idea for DOGORA sparked on a freezing walk with my dog, Alethia,” recalls Nicholas. “I realized traditional dog coats weren’t enough. That’s when I envisioned a heated coat to keep dogs active, social, and comfortable in any weather.”
With this vision, Nicholas founded DOGORA, blending innovation with compassion to create high-quality pet activewear. Cold weather can discourage dogs from getting the exercise they need, leading to weight gain, anxiety, and irritability. DOGORA’s Three-Season Heated Coat/High Top Boots keeps pets warm and active, ensuring they enjoy the outdoors year-round.
A key innovation is DOGORA’s 4-way buckle design, allowing a precise fit for virtually any chest size. This was especially important to Nicholas, who struggled to find well-fitting coats for his deep-chested dogs. With DOGORA, every coat is a custom fit, providing optimal comfort and mobility.
At DOGORA, we know physical activity is essential, but so is mental stimulation. Walks, outdoor play, and interactive, treat-reward toys help engage a dog’s mind, ensuring a well-balanced, happy, and healthy life.
“Our goal isn’t just to provide warmth—it’s to enhance the bond between pets and their owners, allowing them to explore the world together, regardless of weather, temperature, or breed size.”
DOGORA is more than pet apparel—it’s a commitment to innovation, comfort, and giving back to the pets who give us so much.
“While designing DOGORA, I wanted our dogs to not only be comfortable through all elements of Mother Nature, but also provide a style that makes humans jealous of what their dog is wearing! We have made it our mission to let you and your pup enjoy the great outdoors, regardless of weather, temperature or breed size.”
