6 Queer-Owned Pet Brands We’re Celebrating This (And Every Other) Month

Founded by former Vogue staffer Jamie Knowles, Roverlund creates pet gear that prioritizes both durability and design equally.

From camo crates to neon collars, Roverlund’s products feature trendy patterns and colors that can be paired and coordinated with each other seamlessly. Roverlund’s creativity also extends past design and into function with products like their out-of-office carrier which features an extra long handle that can also be used as a leash. 

Kin+kind makes sustainable, all-natural pet products that actually work. With a focus on supplements and topicals, kin+kind’s products address specific issues like hot spots, nose dryness, and allergies. Kin+kind also makes household products for pet-related issues like stain and odor control — all made with vet-formulated, GMO free, hand-mixed ingredients.

If your dog is of the anxious/neurotic/can’t-find-their-chill variety, Super Snouts hemp products might be just what they need. Using specifically dog formulated CBD and hemp, Super Snouts tinctures, supplements, and topicals can be helpful with everything from separation anxiety to achy joints and paws. Plus, all their hemp products are completely free of THC, meaning your pup gets all of the chill with none of the high. If your pup isn’t craving CBD, their CBD-free products use potent natural ingredients like mushrooms, pumpkin, and cranberry.

Started by a family who almost lost their dog, Luna, to toxic pesticides, Wondercide makes pet-safe pest control products that utilize clean and natural ingredients. Their product line includes both pest control for lawns and pest control for use on cats and dogs — including products that prevent fleas and ticks. They also have a line of bug sprays for humans, so both pets and their people can have a comfy, bug-free summer.

Started by two dog dads whose pups had special dietary needs, Barkin’ Creek is a gourmet dog food kitchen based out of Austin that ships nationwide. In addition to their human-grade food options for pups, their Texas locations feature spas complete with grooming, mud baths, and “pawdicures.”

Run by a wife and wife team, Lockwood is an adorable gift and tchotchke shop based out of Astoria, Queens. Just like their human gifts, their pet gifts possess a modern sense of humor that any cosmopolitan pup or cat can appreciate.
