Locally designed and created, these functional pet accessories are just what your pet needs
Pet owners will understand the importance of scouting for the best accessories, where quality meets care for our furry friends. Just like how we have personal preferences when it comes to clothes, pets also have certain requirements for their accessories. While some prefer waterproof harnesses or collars, others go for ones that are gentle on the fur; but the one thing we should not look past is durable pet accessories.
Curated by local owners who, like us, are well versed in the obliteration of collars and leashes by our playful furry companions, here are some homegrown pet accessory stores for the quintessential Singaporean pet.
Don’t miss: 5 Best Hotels to Board Your Pet When You Travel
1. Boss & Olly
If there’s one thing Boss & Olly does right, it’s their eye-catching hand-dyed rope designs. Championing the functional pet gear narrative, the brand was born out of founder Geri’s hunt for durable leashes to combat puppy Olly’s destructive chewing. What stemmed from this was the birth of trendy and practical leashes and collars for everyday wear.
Functional and, dare we say, unbreakable, Boss & Olly leashes are crafted with Biothane; think low-maintenance and waterproof. For owners who prefer a hands-free walking experience, the ergonomic convertible leash extends to two metres, transforming into a sling leash at will. Night owls may go for the HoloGlam active harness, which consists of a reflective outer shell for evening strolls.
2. Aylabella Co.
Just like us humans, your pets are also of masters of their own personality. For the more poised paws, Aylabella is the answer. Singapore’s first pet concept store, the brand showcases it’s in-house line of dog accessories and lifestyle products at a hole-in-the-wall store located at Woodlands (perfect for owners who’d rather have their pet choose). Pastel colours and linen materials, the store has got it all for the discerning pet. Once a favourite collar has been identified, you’ll be happy to know that there are also matching harnesses, leashes, bandanas, and poop bags. With these on hand, you’ll be strutting the dog walk in no time.
3. Dream Castle
Singapore’s heat can be a force to be reckoned with on most days, and we often wonder how our furry friends are faring. In comes Dream Castle, the progenitor of pet beds that are cool to the touch. Filled with Kapok fibre, the naturally moisture-repellent material keeps the bed dry and airy, ensuring that your pet stays cool and comfortable when lounging. Dogs of all ages are able to enjoy this bed, designed to offer orthopaedic support by providing targeted relief from the pain of pressure points. It also comes with interchangeable covers, perfect for switching up the look and feel of the bed depending on the day.
4. Han Made Paw You
Dreamt up by fellow dog owners, Han Made Paw You has got you covered in situations where you’ll need to establish effective control over your dog on walks. The training leash is particularly handy when teaching your pup to listen for commands in a distracting public setting. For the skittish pup, keep them close to you at road junctions with the traffic leash, which comes in over 40 colours to choose from. Choose from braided patterns or sleek Biothane classics and personalise it with your pet’s name for a functional and individual addition to the collection.
5. Clae
The envy of the other dogs in the neighbourhood, have your pet stand out with a customised dog tag from Clae. Handcrafted according to each furry individual, the tags feature a realistic portrait of its wearer in the foreground of a customisable backdrop–definitely not your usual dog tag. You can also make one for your feline friends too, we don’t discriminate.
