The Collars

I believe that having access to fashion-forward doggie accessories is of the utmost importance. I don’t really dig conventional collars, puppy bandanas and rhinestone accessories. I’m more into eye-catching, graphically appealing prints, worn around a pooch’s neck.

Our collars are all upcycled, eco-friendly and totally unqiue. They're made three different ways:
  1. With reclaimed seat belts (cut from junkyard cars) and reclaimed fabric (sourced from old clothing or home decor fabric) or vintage fabric (yardage sourced from estate sales and thrift stores)
  2. With hemp webbing and reclaimed ribbon (sourced from my mom's sewing closet or thrift stores and yard sales)
  3. With reclaimed webbed belts (sourced from thrift stores and yard sales)

We specialize in martingale collars (see our FAQs for an explanation) but do make some quick release pieces. Watch the etsy store or send us an email if you are interested.

The Toys

Commercial pet toys can be really expensive and are often crafted from mystery materials. Our toys are hand-made and we can tell you where we got all of the pieces used in production.

We currently offer two toy styles:
  1. Sweater bones: made using reclaimed felted wool or cotton sweaters and stuffed with a variety of upcycled materials (typically fabric scraps or plastic grocery bags)
  2. Hand-felted balls: made using raw carded wool, which I dye with non-toxic KoolAid and hand-felt in my sink at home (see our felt ball blog post for more information)

The Leash Bags

Any responsible dog owner carries bags on walks. Instead of sticking them in a pocket, have them at the ready with one of our hand-sewn leash bags, which hold 4-5 standard plastic shopping bags. They're crafted using collar fabric scraps and old ric rac or ribbon, and attach to your leash via a metal binder ring.

The Treats

Like pet toys, you don't really know what goes into commercially produced pet treats. Not a problem with Collard Green Dogs homemade creations! We bake up a variety of treats, from peanut butter oatmeal squirrels to chicken broth bones, and will provide an ingredient list with each batch.

The Beds

Every dog (and cat) needs a comfortable place to call their own and rest their weary, furry head. We saw these wonderful repurposed suitcase dog beds at a craft show and thought that they were a fabulous idea. Ours are made from a reclaimed suitcase, hand-cut legs and lined with a pillow made using reclaimed fabric pillow  and stuffed with a variety of repurposed materials.
