Life Unleashed

When you’re allowed to live unleashed from restraints, life is full of adventures. As you gain independence through life, roaming and exploring becomes an opportunity to expand your mind, test your limits, and experience new things. Through life’s adventures, it’s best to have a loyal friend by your side, and who’s more loyal than your dog? There are so many memories we make with our pups, and most of the best are those out in the world, experiencing new things together. Whether your memory is a hike with the most breathtaking views, or out on the beach watching the sunset, we want to hear how you and your best furry friend live life unleashed!

So, we’ve partnered with our friends at Halo Collar, whose mission is to give every dog the freedom to live life unleashed. Together with Halo Collar, we ask you to share a story about a memory that you and your dog have made together. Focus on the adventures you share and priceless moments you’ve experienced together—and maybe even include a photo or two of your pup so we can appreciate them!
