About Greener Pup LLC

Greener Pup LLC was conceived of by Kari Whitman, designer to the stars, dog rescuer, and environmental advocate. Kari’s “design with paws in mind” for her celebrity clients like Jessica Alba, Kristen Bell and Virginia Madsen led to the creation of her line of custom dog beds. Affordable, attractive, and eco-friendly, Greener Pup beds are the perfect way to pamper your pooch and help save the environment!

About Kari

Kari with Kristen Bell and friends

A Boulder, Colorado native, Kari was “practically born recycling” and adopted her first cow at an early age. She’s also always had a passion and affinity for design. As a little girl, she constantly rearranged the furniture in her bedroom…and in hotel rooms on vacations with her parents!

As an adult, Kari rescued “Ace”, an American Bulldog, from a shelter and was immediately smitten. When he died, she channeled her grief and frustration into founding Ace of Hearts (www.aceofheartsdogs.com), dedicated to rescuing dogs the day before they are scheduled to be euthanized, and finding them permanent, loving homes. Her mission has saved the lives of over 2,000 dogs in ten years, and Kari has teamed up with celebrities like Mandy Moore, Virginia Madsen, Alicia Silverstone, Emilio Estevez and Wilmer Valderrama to promote awareness of her Foundation and the urgency of rescuing shelter dogs.

Now one of Hollywood’s most coveted interior designers, Kari conceived of the idea for her signature line of plush, comfortable dog beds after searching for earth-friendly dog beds for a celebrity client who was going entirely green in her high-end home. The products Kari found were either unstylish — or not eco-friendly. So Kari combined her many passions and talents and the result was Greener Pup LLC!
