How handsome are these sweet boys in their UGA bandanas?! Kirby (L) and Tracker (R) are sporting their prizes from their Mystery Box Bandanas. These handsome pups are both professional GDF couch potatoes like Buddy is now and they take their job of looking good while doing it very seriously. I had the best time getting to meet and love on Kirby and Tracker tonight while dropping off their goodies! I also heard they were big fans of the treats they got with their bandanas! I’ve always heard the best way to a Lab’s heart is through their stomach 😉 I also threw together one more out of the last scrap of patriotic sharks I had left for sweet Kirby and then decided to experiment with my plaid/woodland fabric just for fun.

Don’t forget! Our Mystery Boxes are still going on! $15 includes 2 mystery bandanas, some treats for your pet, and shipping. $10/order goes back to support Southeastern Guide Dogs.

Working on some new stuff for our pups! How cute is this woodland creature fabric with the wood grain on the opposite! I love how the purple snaps pull out the purple hue in the fabric 😍

20/03/2020

One day I’ll take nicer pictures than just on my cutting mat 😂 how cute are these three bandanas for ?! I love the patriotic sharks, but I think I’d also really love the woodland silhouettes and the wood grain together. All 6 of these fabrics are available now (adding them into the shop tonight!) so DM me if you want to place an order!

Just a sneak peek at what exactly your purchase from The Blu Dog Co does.

1. It provides a little extra income to both Kelly and myself for us to support Birdie and Buddy (because let’s be real, they are where all of our money goes anyways)

2. It helps to support Southeastern Guide Dogs. Right now, there are 253 applicants waiting for a guide or service dog. Your purchase helps to give back to Southeastern Guide Dogs and ensure that every applicant gets a dog one day.

3. It gives puppies a name. One of those little yellow pups will be Clarke. Donating puts our puppy raiser group (Savannah Puppy Raisers) that much closer to our goal of naming 4 puppies by raising $16,000 and puts ME closer to my goal of raising $4,000 to name Clarke. Sponsoring the name of a pup helps cover their medical care and training until they are matched with their forever person. It also helps to support pups in the Nursery, Puppy Academy, and all over campus!

Remember, 25% of every order between now and May 2 goes back to support this. With our official Walkathon event being cancelled, this is a great way to show your support AND practice social distancing! So go check out our Etsy shop and place your order today.

PS - if you’re a PUPPY RAISER, DM us. We have special discount codes for puppy raisers to save on your order!

Check out these two pals, Bear & Henry, all ready for St Pats Day in their personalized bandanas! While may be cancelled, that won’t stop us from still celebrating ! 🍀🍀

NEW PRODUCT ALERT!

This weekend I'm going to be a busy "bee" because we have a new product being unveiled soon...BEESWAX FOOD WRAPS!

What is a Beeswax Food Wrap?
-Beeswax Food Wraps are an alternative to plastic wrap. They can be used to seal containers, jars, bowls, etc. of perishable food items. It is a sustainable alternative to utilizing cling wrap, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, sandwich baggies, or other one-use wraps/bags.

Why should I use a Beeswax Food Wrap?
-Simple answer: sustainability. We make ours from two ingredients (beeswax and fabric). They can be washed with gentle soap and COLD water and reused for about 6-12 months (depending on size, usage, and maintenance). When the wraps no longer hold their shape as well, they can be used in a compost bin.

Are these cheaper than single-use alternatives?
-Well, you tell me. A 152 count of Ziploc sandwich baggies costs $3.52. I go through about a box of those every two months, which means that in 6 months, I spend $10.56. That does not include any gallon sized bags, aluminum foil, plastic cling wrap, or other "to-go" containers I might purchase. A large beeswax wrap that can be used to wrap a sandwich will run you around $8.00. Which will last you around 6-12 months. So, you tell me! Sustainability is often "pricier" on the front end, but pays off in the long run. If you're willing to make the investment up front, then YES these are absolutely cheaper.

Can I put these in the freezer/microwave?
-Freezer, yes. Microwave, NO. The heat from your hands is enough to allow the beeswax in the wrap to warm up enough to become pliable and be molded to the desired container. If you place this in the microwave, it will ruin your wrap.

Can I use this with all food items?
-Nope, sorry! Do not use these on things like raw meat. Otherwise, you're good to go!

Here's a really great Pros/Cons list of Beeswax Food Wraps. Stay tuned, we'll be dropping these soon and we can't wait! Have you ever used a Beeswax Food Wrap? What do you think of them?

https://www.thekitchn.com/the-pros-and-cons-to-bee-s-wrap-should-you-diy-your-own-beeswax-food-wraps-247056

Everyone's buzzing about it.

Did you know that 25% of every order placed between now and May 2 goes back to Southeastern Guide Dogs Tampa Walkathon Fund? Southeastern's goal is to raise $250,000 at the Tampa Walkathon event on May 2 at Al Lopez Park, Tampa. Currently, between all the WAT teams, they are at $102,389.56!!

Every little bit helps and we've still got two months left to do our part! So go order a bandana, a tag, or even shoot us a message about ordering a bowtie! They are not available on the website yet, as we're still working on making sure they look great before shipping them, but you can get on the list to place an order now!

02/03/2020

Playing around with bow tie making tonight. Here’s our periwinkle/green plaid in bow tie form! It might just be cute enough to make the Easter cut for Buddy.

I’m going to try it with some interfacing and fabric starch next to see if I can get a firmer bow tie that will hold it’s shape better later this week! Stay tuned!

One more brag before !
:
:
Half Moon Hounds makes these beautiful resin dog tags in THE cutest prints (for real, go look at her Christmas shaped/colored ones!!), paracord collars/leashes, and vinyl stickers!
:
:
I recently ordered a tag for Buddy that USPS lost somewhere in California 🤦🏻‍♀️ after 2 weeks of back and forth calls with them telling me it’s somewhere, I have given up. During all of this, I was in contact with Kayleigh, the shop owner, and she was an absolute gem about all of it. She even drove to the post office in CA to follow up for me! You don’t find customer service like that anymore.
:
:
After all that, Kayleigh offered to make me a new tag for free. WHAT. So naturally I used that as an excuse to order a second tag too! I love that you can fit things like “microchipped” on the bag or include 2 numbers for your pup’s safety. Plus she sends you a proof before sealing in the info, so you can make changes if you don’t like the font!
:

If you’re looking for creative, fun resin tags that are visible, durable in all kinds of weather, and have the best kind of customer service attached, go shop . She’s currently got sales on all her items too! Support a small biz like us!

Continuing our shoutout as we prep for is OCY Originals!

Melissa, owner and creator of OCY Originals, has made our favorite collars: Buddy’s buffalo plaid bow tie collar for Christmas, Ellie’s gray/red striped collar with a flower, and Quirt’s classic blue/white seersucker bow tie collar for Easter! Plus, she’s donated THREE collar sets to our Savannah Puppy Raiser group! Melissa makes the cutest collars for all seasons and can frequently be found on in downtown Savannah. But she also has an Etsy shop!

If you’re looking for cute, well-made, and easy to clean (big win in my house🙌🏼) collars with fun bow ties or flowers for all occasions and seasons, I really encourage you to shop . You won’t be disappointed!!

As now (very) small business owners, we understand how hard it is to get the word out about your products AND to ensure that there’s quality over quantity. We are constantly working on improving our techniques, knowing we will only get better. So, while we are doing that and waiting for orders, I thought “why not share about other small business owners that makes products we love?”

With that being said, here’s the first up!!

Here’s a product shout out for Grey Dogs Design, who made this AWESOME convertible leather leash for Buddy. This is the second item I have ordered from her (the first being a custom colored biothane collar, which I LOVE). She’s a fellow puppy raiser and small business owner, so if you’re looking for quality dog products (collars, leashes, traffic tabs, service dog gear, and more!), please go check out her shop (Grey Dogs Design on Etsy). is coming soon!
:
:
For the record, did NOT ask us to do this. I am just obsessed with this new leash and wanted to share her products! While we do not receive any compensation, we CAN offer a code for YOU! Use “Buddy5” for $5 off your purchase of $40+! We share this freely and willingly because we love supporting friends who make good stuff 👍🏼

Any Auburn fans out there? If you're looking for a way to even on by-weeks, look no further than this large tie-on Auburn bandana!

I'm not an Auburn fan myself, but the veterinarian who sponsored Buddy's name is a graduate of Auburn's Vet school and their family are HUGE Auburn fans...so I had to do something to honor them! Plus, how cute is this pup in this bandana?!

This one is a mix of browns, greens, reds, and of course white to give you a bandana that you can wear through November and into December! This is a large sized, double sided, tie-on bandana and can be found in our Etsy shop!

We are about as small of a small business as there can be, but we are no less passionate about what we do! It also doesn’t hurt that we have an absolute blast doing it too 😉

My mom would like me to tell you she is sorry for being a slacker AND to remind everyone that we are still giving away 15% off coupons with current orders that go out! Here I am modeling some of the bandanas we have available, but you can visit the Etsy shop to see them all!

And my Aunt Kelly (.birdie’s mom) would like to remind you that we have some hand stamped metal tags coming soon! We will have themed ones ( and , among others), generic ones (I.e. “microchipped”, “cash reward”, “if I am alone, I am lost”, etc.) and personalized ones! Stay tuned. 👀

20/10/2019

Taking a break from posting bandanas to share something even more cute...PUPPIES!

I am at the Southeastern Guide Dogs campus in Florida for a conference. We are STILL taking orders and everyone who orders from now until Sunday will get a code for 15% off their next order. All orders made between now and Sunday will ship out Monday afternoon!

In the meantime, I’ll be learning more about puppy raising and snuggling future superheroes like this little guy. Remember, a dollar from every sale goes back to supporting pups like him!

I missed Magical Monday, so today is just going to have to be “Wingardium LeviOsa (not LeviOSA) Wednesday.” To celebrate, we are sharing our one of our newest themes for our next batch of bandanas...
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

⚡️H O G W A R T S H O U S E S⚡️

We will be dyeing some bandanas that are themed to your (or your pup’s) Hogwarts House! Now, you have to help us with the next part. For the backing of these Hogwarts colored bandanas, should we keep with our dye theme? Or should we splurge and buy matching house fabric (it will be an upcharge). Thoughts? Drop them below AND tell us what Hogwarts house you and your fur-child are!

I (Hallie) am 100% a Hufflepuff. Lulu was, without a doubt, the Neville kind of Gryffindor. Quirt is the James Potter kind of Gryffindor. And sweet Buddy, despite his robe colors here, is a Hufflepuff like his mama.

HOW in the world is this traditional rainbow tie dye swirl bandana still available?! If I didn’t already have so many bandanas, I’d keep this bad boy for myself for (or ). Don’t forget that we currently have FREE SHIPPING!!
