If you're like us, we adore the transition of seasons experienced here in Canada; the changing colours and oscillating temperatures keep us on our toes - the perfect excuse for new outfits. However, our furry little friends often get neglected in this department. Sure, they may have a pair of winter booties or a functional harness for their daily walk, but what about their style, their personality? These seven Ontario companies are way ahead of you, offering locally made, on-trend accessories to class up your furry friend's wardrobe year-round. Below you'll find our favourite must-have pet accessories from 7 Ontario businesses.

This Windsor company specializes in hand-stamped pet ID tags, whether you want your animal's name or symbols depicting their favourite place to be. Coming in all shapes and sizes, Fluff Pet Care will customize your ID tag so that it matches your pet's personality perfectly.
The Carnation
A teacher who recently discovered her passion for sewing in Cavan has now started up her own little shop. These customizable bandanas and bowties might just come with a matching scrunchie for mom - so you and your fur baby look like team players.

Now this is something you probably haven't seen before - macrame dog collars and leashes. This Belleville maker combines sustainability and fashion into one compact product. These accessories hold up to day-to-day wear and tear, but then safely biodegrade once they're no longer of use.

This local maker from Ingersoll creates no-sew bandanas and bowties for your pets with a mix of Canadian fabrics and international finds from her travels around the globe. Perhaps you're not in the market for a matching scrunchie or mask - Lunation will make you your very own matching hair bow.
