☀️ It’s Patio SZN, baby!! 🐶🍹

No more juggling your drink and your dog’s leash — our leashes come with double clips so you can secure your pup to any patio post, chair, or table with ease 🙌🪑

✨ Plus, with 2 adjustable D-rings, you’ve got full hands-free freedom!

📝 Tip: Shorten the 6ft leash to 3.5ft for tighter spaces by hooking to the fixed D-ring. That means no wandering pups + full peace of mind 💆‍♀️🐾

📍Perfect for busy patios, brunches, and chill hangs all summer long!

💖 Thank you to .coapparel for keeping Potato looking stylish with his amazing bandanas.

Ya girl needs a vacay! 🤭 Thank you for understanding! 😅

Story time: I had a blonde moment when I booked this cruise months ago. I didn’t check my business calendar! Then when I did, I realized the KW Pet Expo was happening the weekend I’m away. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I was pretty upset by it since I was super excited for the expo! I can’t thank Natalie enough for taking on the expo on her own!🤍

Happy National Pet Day from me & the CEO, Potato! 🥰🐾

He’s got zero responsibilities, unlimited treats, and somehow still runs my life 🤭

Living proof that cute gets you everything 😅

Without him, Potato & Co would have never started & I wouldn’t have met this amazing community!! So, I owe him the world 🫶🏼

Let’s take a closer look 🔎 at some of the Spring items that launched today! 🌷🌸🐝

Let’s ZOOM in! Shall we?! 👀
🐬 Animal Kingdom Lick Mat [3 colours]
🦴 Dots n’ Bones Lick Mat [4 colours]
🐝 Quad Feeder [6 colours]

They’re available now on the site as we speak! So, what are you waiting for?!? 🤗🫶🏼

All lick mats come with a free compostable toothbrush 🪥 for easier cleaning between grooves. I should have definitely mentioned this a month ago as I’m sure some of you were VERY confused as to why there was a random toothbrush in your packages 🤣🤣 live laugh love 🤭

All are dishwasher safe and freezer safe!

And that’s a wrap! 🎁

I don’t even know what to say… 🥹 Actually though, I’ve been trying to put all these emotions into words these past months and I’ve been speechless. The amount of support, love, and orders from y’all this holiday season just dumbfounded me!!🫶🏼 Thank you thank you thank you 🤗

I’ve been pretty MIA on here. I truly wish I was able to document more content. But no one wants to watch me in my dark dining room at 4am making orders lol 🤣
However, I will post in the new year with the very few photos & videos I did capture as I don’t want to post anyone’s gifts online a ruin Christmas 💚

I’ve learned a lot with this being my first actual holiday season. I’m BEYOND appreciative of everyone’s patience and glad that I was able to complete everything in time for y’all to receive your packages before Christmas (except the two that are delayed due to ferries 🙃 let’s hope they arrive!)

Things I’ve learned:
🤎 Create a cut off time (I am a one man show, gotta give myself more time)
🤎 Better routine for myself & Potato (between my full time job, small business, moving homes, and everything in between; it was unfair for Potato to be so off his regular routine)
🤎 Burning out ain’t cute (neither are the bags under my eyes the past 2 months)
🤎 Sleep is important (we’ll try that next time)
🤎 Fuel my body with food (there were many days I only ate a single hash brown)
🤎 💨 + ⛺️ = 👹👹 (iykyk)

What’s next:
✨NEW✨ Flip Harness colours will (finally) be on the website on Dec 26
✨NEW✨ Leashes & colours will (finally) be on the website on Dec 26
✨NEW✨Multi-dog & ExtendMe will drop Dec 26
✨GIVEAWAY✨ An overdue 1k + 1yr giveaway (let’s just say… there will be 10 winners as a HUGE THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU)

If you made it this far… I will be taking a much needed 24hr nap. Goodbye 🤗

Oakley has hot pawrents 😎🐾

High-key obsessed with how these turned out 😍

Every week I’ve been sending 10+ custom sweaters and I’m over the moon (and low-key overwhelmed lol) but I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

It’s been a grind since we introduced the sweatshirts, between my full time job, house showings (yes, we’re moving! But still in town), and markets on the weekends however, it is filling my heart with so much joy and motivation to continue to bring more fun designs, colours and custom pet lover products! 🐶🤎

If y’all missed my story a few days ago, please note that I will be away for a family matter. I will not be very active on socials until further notice. If I do not see your messages in time please be patient. If I miss your story tags, feel free to send the photo separately in dm so that you can be featured when I get back! I need to spend this time with family and friends so thank you for understanding! 🫶🏼

Since we did not want to bring Potato to America, Shane will be staying here. Shane will be at 🎃Tails and Treats🎃 in Oakville this Saturday from 10-4. This is his first market alone so if you see him be patient and tell him he’s doing a great job!! 😄 Shane might do a insta story takeover so that should be interesting lol. He might even win employee of the month. But who knows, there are just SO many candidates🧐🤷🏼‍♀️!
