nice to meet you!

I’m Ashleigh, and this is my girl, Nala - more affectionately known as the CEO of Nala&Co. Our journey began in June 2021, shortly after Nala joined me and my fiancé's life. Like many dog parents, I wanted accessories that were not only modern and aesthetic but also functional for thier unique quirks. When I couldn’t find what we needed, I decided to create them myself!

Nala wasn’t a fan of the traditional tie-on or clip-on bandana styles, so I taught myself to sew and created my take on over-the-collar style bandanas and bows designed for comfort, convenience, and style. It turns out, we weren’t the only ones looking for this solution!

In addition to creating stylish dog accessories, I’m also a self-taught digital illustrator. I love capturing the unique characteristics of you and your pets through custom artwork that can be featured on apparel you will treasure forever.

I'm so happy you’re here and hope you love our thoughtfully crafted products as much as we do. Thank you for supporting our small business!

xoxo,
Ashleigh & Nala

One of my favorite parts of this journey is meeting you in person. That’s why I make it a priority to attend local markets and pop-up events whenever I can! Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to participate in several seasons at St. Jacob’s Farmers Market, as well as events across the Kitchener-Waterloo region and the GTA. Connecting with you, your friends, families, and, of course, your dogs, is one of the biggest joys of what I do. I love hearing your stories—whether it’s about your lives, your dog’s unique quirks, exciting news, or anything in between. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your lives! Building relationships with my customers has been a highlight since day one. I can’t wait to see you at an event near you soon!
