Better products made for life at home with pets.
Our story
I started LAY LO in 2019 with one simple goal: to create products for my dogs that I’d be proud to showcase in my home.
What began as a personal mission has grown into something so much bigger, thanks to an incredible team and our shared passion for elevating life with dogs.
Over the past five years, we’ve designed more than fifteen unique bed collections, partnered with amazing retailers like Bloomingdale’s, and collaborated with visionaries like Etsy, Joseph Altuzarra, and John Legend.
In 2023, we expanded our mission with the launch of the LAY LO Collective and Homeschool by LAY LO, bringing expert guidance together with our thoughtfully designed products. Whether it’s 1:1 live help from certified training experts or simple tips to make life with your dog easier, everything we do is aimed at helping you and your dog feel closer at home.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

Our journey
Humble Beginnings
We launched our first dog bed on Etsy made from upcycled fabrics we sourced globally. Starting from a garage, we made every bed made-to-order, and word got out.
First collections
Inspired by the global fabrics we found around the world, we developed a unique, yet durable knit material and launched our first collection, Boho, in May of 2019.
Etsy x Altuzarra

New collections
We continued to launch new patterns and colors, such as Terra, Sage, and Terrazzo — a launch complete with a photoshoot to benefit the animal shelter in Palm Springs.
Retailer Growth
We were humbled to have our products available at exclusive retailers such as Nordstrom, Saks, and Anthropologie.
Launched our first service: Homeschool
With Homeschool, we expanded on our mission of creating a better home for you and your pets with online, 1:1 expert help from trainers, nutritionists, and groomers.
Our Expert Collective
Backed by expert guidance and support
We feel like pet parenting isn't limited to great products alone. That's why we ensure our products are both vetted by experts and that you're supported by them, too.
Our Fabrics
Globally inspired, functionally knitted.
Beautiful designs and patterns created by our in-house team, never off the shelf. Always knitted, never printed.
Our Bed System
Custom comfort that reduces waste.
Whether your choosing the styles you want on your bed cover or what cushioning goes in it, our modular system gives you the most options for your bed to look and feel like home — without tossing anything out.
Our Quality
Made to last (and last).
Every domestic and international partner has been vetted to ensure each product is knit with the highest quality yarns and machines used by the top textile manufacturers around the world.
Our Vision
Fostering a well-rounded life at home with your pets.
Through our weekly newsletter and 1:1 dog training platform, Homeschool.
