Alysson Kuhns never set out to be a business owner, but Pacific Hound became the perfect accident. With a master’s degree in Sport Psychology, she once had her sights set on coaching collegiate track and field—until life (and two dogs, Spot and Emma) had other plans.
What started as a simple mission to keep her pups warm during freezing Kansas mornings turned into a booming business, first on Etsy and later as the full-fledged brand, Pacific Hound. Fueled by a love for the outdoors, adventure, and of course, dogs, Alysson rebranded in 2018 and never looked back. Today, Pacific Hound is more than just a business—it’s a testament to persistence, creativity, and community, connecting thousands of like-minded adventurers across the world.
