Simple Beginnings
Our story began in 2004, when founder Tina Nguyen was searching for high-quality pet products that both she and her first dog, Jax, could love. When she couldn't find products that combined comfort, quality and thoughtful design, she decided to create them herself.
Her vision was simple: create exceptional pet products that are beautiful enough for the home, comfortable and durable enough for everyday life, and thoughtfully made with quality materials.
More than 20 years later, Jax & Bones has grown from that simple idea into an established, woman-founded and woman-owned pet lifestyle brand, creating premium dog beds, toys and accessories for dogs and the people who love them.
Along the way, Jax & Bones products have reached more than 2 million pets and have been carried by more than 3,000 independent pet retailers, five-star hotels and some of the country's most recognized names, including Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma and Nordstrom.
We're also the home of the Original EcoBed™, reflecting our longstanding belief that great design can bring together comfort, quality and more thoughtful material choices.
Through it all, one belief has remained the same: dogs are family, and the things we choose for them should feel like part of the home, too.
Jax & Bones founder Tina, bringing her passion for dogs, quality and design to life in every product we create.
Tina's mission has always been to create a thoughtfully designed space in the home for your pet to rest in style and comfort.
Inspired by family. Shaped by Design
How we started
Jax & Bones grew from two things Tina has always loved: dogs and great design.
Tina's appreciation for beautiful fabrics, quality construction and craftsmanship began with her family. Mentored by her mother and surrounded by upholstery and interior design from an early age, she learned to appreciate the details behind something truly well made.
She brought that perspective to Jax & Bones, approaching pet bedding with the eye of a furniture maker and the heart of a dog lover.
Today, Tina is also the owner of Upholstery West, a Los Angeles upholstery company with a history dating back to 1970. It brings her worlds of furniture, textiles and pet design together and continues a tradition of craftsmanship that has influenced Jax & Bones from the beginning.
Those roots still shape the way we design today, from the fabrics we choose and the way our beds are constructed to our belief that products made for dogs can be every bit as thoughtful and beautiful as the things we choose for the rest of our home.
Because their space is part of your space.
Designed for Dogs. Made for Home
We believe great pet products shouldn't force you to choose between function and design.
Our collections are created around the way dogs actually live—sleeping, playing, lounging and sharing our homes—bringing together comfort, durability and thoughtful design that feels at home in your space.
It's an approach that has guided Jax & Bones since 2004 and continues to shape every collection we create.
Designed for Dogs. Made for Home
Quality is in the Details
From the fabrics and materials we select to the final stitch, we believe the little things make a big difference.
"Good Design Isn't Just for Humans" has long been part of the Jax & Bones philosophy. To us, good design means more than how something looks. It means comfort, thoughtful construction, quality materials and products made for everyday life.
Because beautiful design is only part of the story. Our products also have to stand up to real life, real homes and, of course, real dogs.
Still Inspired by Jax
Jax may have inspired our first product, but he also gave us something much bigger: a way of looking at the relationship between dogs and the people who love them.
That connection continues to inspire Jax & Bones today.
After all, they're not just pets. They're family.
