About Gone to the Dogs

As long-time pet parents, we’ve come across all kinds of products for our beloved fur family members. As creators, we set out to counter the lack of transparency and responsibility found in the process of producing pet goods. We created Gone to the Dogs, an ethical platform from which we can share the best of our ideas and our collaborations with talented makers and artisans. We don’t want just anyone producing our product. As a women-owned business, we partner with a diverse group of women, who share at least one commonality - the lack of opportunity to harness an independent income. We collaborate with makers from low-income and immigrant communities in the local NYC area, as well as marginalized communities in the Global South. Each of our products is not only handmade but also sourced from recycled, reclaimed or renewable materials, and natural fibers. We’re taking back what’s en route to the landfill, utilizing compostable materials, and prolonging the life of fibers. We’re proud to bring back and promote the motto, “reduce, reuse, recycle!” Our greatest Gone to the Dogs muses are our rescue dogs, Miles and Ollie. We believe that all pets deserve to be a part of a happy home. A portion of our proceeds goes to animal shelters truly making a difference in giving every pet a happy home. Gone to the Dogs is a social enterprise dedicated to reimagining thoughtfully designed and ethically sourced goods hand-crafted by inspiring makers locally and globally. Read their story
