Collared With Love began with our family—and our first dog, Lulu.  

She joined our lives and opened up a new world of love, connection, and joy. What started as a simple addition to our home quickly became something bigger: a deeper appreciation for the bond between people and their pets. From those early walks and tail wags, the idea for Collared with Love was born—an invitation for pet owners to create something personal, expressive, and full of heart.

Pamela and Faye—sisters and two of our founders—grew up together in Massachusetts. After heading in different directions for school and early careers, they quickly realized they wanted to raise their families close to each other. Faye moved to North Carolina, and Pamela followed soon after. Eventually, they settled in the same neighborhood, creating a tight-knit family community. Brooke, Faye’s oldest and our third founder, grew up alongside her brother and cousins with shared holidays, after-school snacks, and daily life spent between both homes. Our lives have always been intertwined—and when we welcomed our pets into our families, they instantly became part of that circle. To us, pets are family, and they deserve to be celebrated.

Through Collared with Love, we hope to share that same sense of closeness, creativity, and community with you. Our mission is to help pet lovers design collars that reflect their unique style and the special connection they have with their furry companions. As we grow, we plan to expand our offerings, but our purpose will remain the same: to bring people together and celebrate the unconditional love we all have for our pets—one collar at a time.
