Poochie-fication = Poochie (semi-transparent) = Poochie + fication
The suffix '-fication' clearly marks a process of making or turning into something, but the base is a playful cultural reference rather than a standard descriptive word.
Etymology
Poochie-fication comes from the informal word pooch meaning 'dog' and the ending -ification meaning 'the act of making'. So it describes making a place or product very dog-focused, cute, or trendy for pet culture.
