Collection: About Us

I love my dogs and I love adventures! What I don't love is all the wet and dirty gear after those adventures. I started this company to make it a little easier for everyone to enjoy all the messy fun.

Get Dirty Pet Gear is small company based out of Mineville, Nova Scotia, Canada. I hand make waterproof, odorless, and easy to clean pet accessories from a material called BioThane® .

My products are an alternative to leather and are perfect for the beach, the trails, camping, or any other adventure you and your pup can dream up!

I grew up in the country, always on the marsh, in the woods, or at the beach. I also have always had multiple dogs from small to tall. I currently share my life with my partner and out 7 dogs.  We compete in agility, barn ratting, chase ability, sprinter, dock diving and play in other dog sports. I'm sure I have tried almost everything out there when it comes to gear. I know what works and what doesn't for dogs of all sizes.

My inspiration came from one of my boys, Chance. Chance came to us at 10 months old from a local rescue. He was deaf, and because he was quite a mischievous fellow, he was never allowed off leash. Living in Nova Scotia means one of our favorite places was the beach and Chance loved to play in the sand and seaweed and run with his brothers and sisters. His old long line would get so dirty and smelly and I knew we needed to find something better. The search ended when I decided to make one myself out of BioThane®.

Making one long line expanded into making collars and leashes for all of our dogs, and the next thing I knew, Get Dirty Pet Gear was born!  Although Chance is no longer with us, his memory lives on in the company logo and every piece of gear I make.
