BAYDOG was founded by Barton O'Brien, a Marine Veteran, reformed Wall Streeter, and avid dog lover. After leaving finance, Bart picked up his white Lab, Walter, and headed to the shores of the Chesapeake. Born from a need for functional, great-looking gear for active dogs and their humans, every BAYDOG product is named after a bay in the United States. As a veteran-owned business, we back everything with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
