1. DOGPAK ($48K/year)

Devin Kelly, founder of DOGPAK, came up with the idea for his business after testing numerous outdoor K9 gear during his adventures with his dog, Thunder. Frustrated with the ill-fitting, bulky, and low-quality gear available, Devin used his knowledge as a rigger for skydiving and rock climbing to design a fresh take on dog backpacks using high-quality, lightweight materials.
