About Us

Welcome to The Smiling Chi!  

Launched in November 2022, The Smiling Chi is a unique boutique of apparel and accessories, enrichment toys for your dog, clean-burning American-made soy candles, and handmade jewelry by yours truly.

Why are we The Smiling Chi?

The name is inspired by my beautiful Chihuahua-mix princess who, when she rolls over to receive belly rubs, closes her eyes in bliss and SMILES.  And while not everything here at thesmilingchi.com is dog related, you will certainly see my love of dogs shining through in many of the items.

Thank you for stopping by and for shopping my small business!  I'm so glad you're here!
