ABOUT US:
Hi, I’m Sandra! I’m the hands behind The Houndsmith. I believe our pets are family, and family deserves the good stuff.
In 2020, I started this business as a tribute to my late father—a man who loved dogs almost as much as he loved a good laugh. Today, I’ve turned that passion into high-quality, handcrafted gear that actually lasts and brings a smile to your face. We’ve even taken the show on the road as Southern California’s first "Barktique" on wheels!
WHY THE HOUNDSMITH?
Built for the dogs who live life to the fullest. My tags are hand-stamped (not laser-etched). That means the letters are physically hammered into the metal. It’s deep, it’s permanent, and it won't rub off.
-
Stink-Proof Tech: Our BioThane gear is waterproof and odor-resistant. Because your dog should not smell like a damp basement.
-
Fun and custom designs that match your pup's unique attitude, we do snarky better.
-
Gear with a Soul: When you shop with us, you aren't just buying another leash; you’re supporting local rescues. We’re helping pups, one tag at a time.
Whether you’re looking for a collar that survives the beach or a dog tag that gets all the compliments at the park, you’re in the right place. Come for the gear, stay for the laughs!
GIVING BACK:
We are passionate about all pets, especially those in need.
A portion of our sales are donated to local rescues, to help our furry friends in need.
Join us on our journey to make the world a happier place, one dog at a time!
-
Hand-Stamped for Life. Every letter is physically hammered. No lasers, no shortcuts—just craftsmanship.
-
Adventure-Proof BioThane. Our gear is 100% waterproof, stink-proof, and easy to clean. It has the soft feel of leather with the durability of a tank. If your dog loves mud, you’ve finally found your match.
-
Purchase with purpose. We believe every dog deserves a home. That’s why we donate directly to our SoCal rescue friends. You get the gear, and a pup in need gets support.
