💐THIS WEEKEND💐 Mom’s Day Market in the Barn will be in full swing, and we can’t wait! On Sunday, be sure to pay a visit to Goody Girl Flower Farm in Lockport from 11-3 to check out some great local vendors and get your Mother’s Day shopping done early! See you there 🪻
Want to find more of our collars in-person?! You can‼️For the next two months we’ll be the featured local vendor at Fetch n’ Catch on Transit Rd. in Depew!

It’s tempting to celebrate National Hug Your Dog Day by, well, hugging your dog. It releases oxytocin and lifts our mood. But what about for the dog? In general, hugging a dog can feel like they’re being trapped, and they can’t get away from any threat that may arise during the hug. Though some dogs may seem to enjoy it, most are simply tolerating it; one study found that over 80% of dogs showed signs of stress while being hugged by their owners. It’s imperative to respect your dog’s boundaries and understand their subtle stress signals, before they begin to build. As teaches, “One hand enough, two hands too rough.”
Of course, there are always dogs who come up to owners and ask for hugs in their own quirky way. You know your dog best, so it’s just a matter of knowing when your dog is saying “enough.” So, I’m renaming National Hug Your Dog Day to National Respect Your Dog’s Boundaries Day. Listen to your dog’s wants and needs, and don’t overstep. I’m celebrating by taking Ellie to get ice cream—the only boundary she sets with that is that I can’t take too long taking pictures of her before I give it to her!
You know that feeling when you need a Maggie Wags collar, but you need it 🆁🅸🅶🅷🆃 🅽🅾🆆?! You’re in luck, because now you can find them at Mel’s K-9 Café on Transit & Main in Williamsville. We’ve currently stocked them for Easter and more, so be sure to stop and say hi for us and support a great local business! We’re so excited to be selling with them!
Want to see any of your favorites in-store? Drop a comment and we’ll try to stock it at Mel’s 🐾
Times are a-changin’, and so must we. We’ve decided it’s time to increase our prices for some of our products, so we’ve listed them here. We thank you all for your understanding and support as this is never an easy decision, and we truly aim to keep our prices as low as our costs will allow. We will always err on the side of transparency as we believe an honest business is a respectable business.
We are still in the process of transitioning our pricing, so go see if you can snag some deals on your favorite items before the prices go up!
Was it the luck o’ the Irish ☘️ or just a beef & cheddar treat 🦴 that helped me capture this adorable close-up of Ellie in our newest bandana? Either way, we could not be more excited to bring you our NEW Watercolor Clover Field collection, featuring collars, a cat bandana, and even a reversible dog bandana—with butter lambs on the other side! We’re so proud of this design; it’s our first time playing around watercolor digitally, and we’re super happy with the results. We hope you are too, so let us know what you think and head on over to maggiewagscollarco.com and check it out!
We agree and know where you can get a super cute one 👀

I gotta say—I love me some Josh but I’m a Knox girl at heart. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Ever wonder what sets our collars apart? We specialize in making cute collars in a range of sizes for all dogs, and we take pride that we always support independent artists and small businesses with our designs, but safety is constantly our top priority. That’s why we never cut corners with the hardware we select and the sewing techniques we use. It took some trial and error in the beginning to get here, but we’re confident that our current design—which we’ve used for over two years now—is durable and long-lasting even for the most rugged of pups.
P.S. This doesn’t mean we’re not open to learning; we’re constantly on the lookout for ways to update our products! Feedback from customers have helped us make small changes here and there that have improved our products in big ways.
Remember writing these notes to ask out your crush in middle school? 📝 Try that this Valentine’s Day with the cutest quarterback (or tight end or receiver) in the NFL with our new Josh, Will You Be My Valentine? unisex crewnecks and tee shirts! Choose your player—Allen, Diggs, or Knox—in a comfy white crewneck or a soft tee available in a number of colors, and check yes on our new apparel this V-Day!
Our official 2022 Christmas card, with many thanks to and !
Everyone please stay safe, warm, and in good company this weekend, whether it’s with family or just you and your dog. (Remember to take your dog outside for very short trips and not to leave them outside for any period of time.)
Merry Christmas from Maggie Wags 🎅
It’s crunch time people!!! There is only a WEEK until Christmas, and today is the last day to order collars, bandanas, keychains, and acrylic ornaments for US delivery before Christmas. LOCAL orders, however, still have a few more days. Check out these slides for specifics.
This is fantastic!!! Flint Vet is amazing and Alex is so cool for choosing this as his community project. Keep this in mind if you or someone you know is in need of some help with dog and cat food in the Gasport, NY area!
I always thought the 12 Days of Christmas led up to the actual day, but I just googled it and it turns out they actually start on Christmas Day. Either way, we’re already 12 days into December which means it’s crunch time for Christmas shopping! We’re bringing you three more opportunities to shop with us in person, and we’re so looking forward to THIS THURSDAY NIGHT, when we get to hang out with our lovely friends at in Orchard Park for the Sit n’ Stay Holiday Shopping Spree! Join us with a handful of other vendors for an evening of dogs, shopping, and holiday cheer. Swipe for more info.
Then on Friday, we’ll be at our chalet at the Buffalo Holiday Market in Buffalo, and again on the 23rd for your last minute gifts and local pickups. The last day to order for US shipping is December 18th, and the last day to order for local pickup (Niagara and Erie Counties) is December 21st. All local pickup orders will be at the Buffalo Holiday Market at 202 Ohio St on the 23rd from 3-8, or Lockport on the 24th, time TBD.
Make your list, check it twice, then come out this weekend and find something nice! The Lewiston Holiday Bazaar is THIS WEEKEND 12/10 and 12/11 at Bella Rose Winery in Lewiston 12-5pm. We’ll be there all weekend but some vendors will only be there Saturday or Sunday, so definitely try to make it out both days! You’re sure to find something for everyone on your list at this craft show—even yourself!
How is it almost December?! We’ve finished our Christmas shopping so we can help you with yours. Our schedule is loaded with events all over Niagara and Erie Counties (with the potential for more additions!) and ending with Buffalo Holiday Market acting as the final local pickup spot on the 23rd for the truly last minute shoppers. See something on our website that you want to check out in person? We’ll take requests! We’ve got loads of dog collars, bandanas (CAT bandanas?!), dog and cat toys, and more that are currently in-person only, so be sure to stop by and spoil your pets even more than the rest of the year!
We’re all done with our Christmas shopping so we can help you with yours!

Did you know that more people plan to shop on Small Business Saturday than on Black Friday this year? The holiday season is critical for small businesses; almost 80% of small business owners said their holiday sales in 2021 determined whether they could stay in business the following year. Elmwood Ave in Buffalo is almost exclusively small businesses and a local favorite on Small Business Saturday, so this year, we’re super excited to be doing a pop-up in front of Iron Tail Tavern! We’ll have loads of Christmas collars, bandanas, and gift items for all the pets and people in your life! We’ll also be running some exclusive in-person deals that you won’t want to miss (though I’ll be posting a deal later today on our story that will apply on our website too), so stop by and see us at 802 Elmwood from 11-5 on 11/26 and step inside for a delicious meal too. Can’t wait to see you there!

This year, we’re thankful for all of our wonderful customers, our amazing designers, and our ultra-cooperative model, ! Here she is showing off our new Official Turkey Taster Thanksgiving Plaid Reversible Bandana (breathe!) ready just in time for the celebrations!
We’re so in love with this adorable accessory that we’re sending them out as soon as you order them—same-day or next-day shipping, depending on the time of day that they’re ordered. That way they’ll get to you on time for the big feast. Order in the US by this Friday to get them on time, or locally (WNY) by Monday at 3pm EST. If you don’t get them on time for whatever reason, we’ll refund your shipping.
Order NOW to guarantee delivery by Thanksgiving, and to get as much wear out of these before it’s OFFICIALLY Christmastime!!! We waste NO time getting our jingle on here at Maggie Wags ❄️ so once the last bite of cranberry sauce is in my belly, it’s “Alexa, play ‘A Legendary Christmas’” (because I definitely haven’t been saying that all month👀)
