Stylish Accessories for Dogs
Stylish accessories for pets from Harry Barker.
When Teddy became part of our family, I wanted to make sure that I found the best pet products that fit into my ethos and aesthetic. Being a huge dog lover and appreciating all the small details in life, I wanted to make sure that our pet products felt like an extension of our home. Bonus points if those products were sustainable and eco-friendly.
I’m thrilled to introduce you to a brand that I’ve used and loved for years: Harry Barker. We’re so in love with these stylish and durable pieces that blend seamlessly into our home and even more in love with the mission behind the brand.
Harry Barker is devoted to artful craftsmanship and elevated design, while upholding the highest ethical and environmental standards. All of their fabrics are earth-friendly, using dyes that are safe for your pets and home. Each bed insert is made of recycled plastic, too. Even their treats are made with all-natural ingredients and come in reusable tins that are cute enough to leave on your counter. They truly thought of every detail.
I put some of my favorite products together for you, including some things I have and love! x
**I’m also excited to share that Harry Barker is having a big sale this weekend, offering 50% off all refill bag treats this weekend with code HBDUSA. T loves all of the flavors, but I think the peanut butter is his all-time favorite.
This hemp vintage stripe bed adds a touch of nautical flair to our apartment. Teddy absolutely adores this bed, which is made of organic, eco-friendly fabric and has a plush feel that’s perfect for a mid-day snooze. I love it because it’s thick, durable, and can easily be thrown into the washing machine. It’s a win win.
These enamelware bowls are another favorite of mine. I really love how simple and clean they look—you’d be surprised how hard it is to find minimal pieces for pets.
Teddy tends to be a messy eater and these have a nice grip to the floor so that I’m not tripping over bits of kibble when I walk through the kitchen. (If you’re a pet parent, you’re probably used to finding them all over the floor.)
They are also great to bring on long walks or hikes, as I can pack them in a duffel for when we’re on the go.
If you prefer some color, these bowls are also available in red and blue!
Shop more of my favorites below or head over to the Harry Barker website to see their wonderful assortment for yourself. Plus, they offer free shipping on orders of $150+… happy shopping!
Thank you to Harry Barker for partnering on this post.
The Best Minimalist Pet Accessories
The best pet accessories and products for a minimal, considered home.
Dogs are simple creatures. They don't need stuff.
Yet there are so many pet products out there that with poor designs and loud colors.
I try to live as minimalist a life as is realistic. I'm not a fan of excess stuff and try to make considered choices as often as I can. Eliminating the excess means less time spent cleaning and organizing and more time on the important things, like spending time with our dog.
My philosophy is to spend on quality items that I know will last. We choose toys and accessories that feel considered and collected—I don't mind seeing a few ropes or antlers laying around because every choice was intentional. And he loves them!
When it comes to choosing items for our pet, there are a few things I try to keep in mind:
Muted colors—I'm drawn to pieces that are neutral. Whites, tans, browns and blacks are all great options because they blend in with the home. It's easier to keep the home looking clean when everything feels like it belongs. That's not to say everything has to be neutral. Teddy has a big pink ball that he adores and we wouldn't take that away from him.
Natural fabrics—Wovens, woods, bone and even denim are all great for dogs. Not only are these materials you would find in nature, but they're safer for your pet, too. Traditional pet toys are often made with synthetic dyes, silicone, and other materials that might not be so healthy for your pet.
Embrace the idea of one—It's easy to go crazy and come home with a shopping bag full of pet toys. But how many of those pieces does your pet already have? Pets are not multitaskers—they are content playing with one thing at a time. If you bring any new toys into the home, how many can you take away? Anything tattered or torn should be disposed of.
Here are a few pet accessories that fit perfectly in the minimalist home:
