Bug & Co.

Handcrafted dog collars and pet accessories 🐾 Hello and welcome to my story! I am a college student just looking to get by.

My dream was to have my own website but since that dream is becoming a reality, my new goal is to open my own storefront one day! I have a puppy named Lady, she is an American Cocker Spaniel. I have a Disney obsession so I named her after the movie Lady and The Tramp. I started making her custom collars and received a lot of local orders from family and friends so I decided to sell on Etsy as well

. It is one of the best decisions I have made. The feedback I get is always positive and helpful so I can keep improving my items. I have decided to expand my store to more than just dog collars. I am now selling small little items that easily can put a smile on anyone's face for any occasion. Just little kick-nacks here and there that make life a little more special. Thank you for reading my autobiography and happy shopping! With much love,
Kristin & Lady

Thank you for making us grin from ear to ear with your hilarious photos, kind messages and comments, and endless support of this small business from the beginning. The Bug & Co family is wishing all of you a Thanksgiving full of warmth, love, and lots of puppy kisses 🐶

We have exciting news that we are grateful for! We will be supporting local freelance artists, such as the artist of this beautiful illustration, Emily. Our future collars will feature patterns such as this beautiful design. We will be experimenting with different techniques to find the most unique designs.

Every collar purchased from Bug & Co will not only make a difference for our family and our dream, but our community, and artists like Emily as well. ✨🐾

It’s all in the details ✨

Bug & Co is slowly transitioning out of plastic buckles and into all metal hardware. Not only does this provide an extra sparkle to our designs, but it also adds extra safety and durability for our pups.

We don’t want to be wasteful, so we will be using up the remainder of our plastic hardware inventory. Soon we will be 100% all metal hardware!

When I started Bug & Co (Dog Gone Good Looking) back in 2013, I wanted to make it our mission to help animals in need. Every Thanksgiving week we donate our unsold inventory of collars and leashes to local Kansas City rescue shelters. 24 is a small number compared to our past donations but we are grateful to have anything to donate at all! THANK YOU for helping us make this possible over the years! We couldn’t do it without you and I am grateful for your support ❤️🐾 My future goal for this small business is to be able to donate a pound of food for each collar sold. https://bugandcous.etsy.com #dogsofinstagram #smallbusiness #dogcollar #bugandco
