The Inspiration
Hi, I’m Natalie, founder of Canoodle Company. Our journey began with a tiny 1-pound pup named Cannoli. During the pandemic, my husband and I welcomed her into our home, eager to spoil her with cute accessories. But we kept running into the same problem—nothing was small enough to fit her perfectly.
With zero sewing experience but a lot of encouragement from my husband, I bought my first sewing machine from Joann’s and started making Cannoli tiny bandanas. YouTube became my best friend as I figured out how to use the machine. Over time, I taught myself to make hair bows, scrunchies, bow ties, and more. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion.
My husband saw how much joy making dog accessories brought me and encouraged me to open an Etsy shop. Little did we know, the community’s support would be overwhelming. In those first few months, orders came in faster than I could keep up—so much so that my husband learned to sew alongside me, and my mom stayed with us for a while to help manage the growing demand. Those busy days remain some of our favorite memories.
While I focus on designing and crafting, Mr. Canoodle handles the business finances. What started as a fun little hobby grew quickly—thousands of bandanas later, I’m still deeply passionate about what I do. Two years after opening the shop, this hobby became my full-time career.
Today, Canoodle serves customers from all walks of life and partners with boutiques across the country. Because this business has been such a blessing to our family, giving back is a priority. Each year, we connect with organizations that enrich the lives of pets and their people, identifying their needs and doing our part to help.
Thank you for supporting Canoodle and being part of our journey.
With love,
The Canoodle Family :)
Our Mission
At Canoodle, my mission is simple: to create handmade pet accessories that celebrate the special bond between pets and their people. Every item is crafted with care, quality, and a personal touch, offering both style and comfort for everyday adventures or special moments.
But Canoodle is about more than just accessories—it’s about making a positive impact.
Our Impact
Giving back is at the heart of Canoodle. We donate handmade dog bandanas to animal rescues for adoption events, helping pets find their forever homes. We also provide financial support to nonprofits that serve both animals and people, partnering each year with organizations to make a meaningful difference in our community.
