Leah and Rob Jones, the brains behind BOco<\/strong><\/a>, believe all dogs deserve a one-of-a-kind accessory. When they couldn\u2019t find the style they wanted they didn\u2019t just sit back, they decided to create their own high-quality products and accessories by incorporating beautiful materials, elegant designs and an array of colours.<\/p>\n

ZOOKIE: Where does the brand name BOco come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAH:<\/strong> BOco<\/a> is the combined name of our three-year-old Staffy Bo and his sister Missy, being the co. We also kept with the \u2018co\u2019 incase we add to our fur family.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ZOOKIE: What prompted you to launch BOco?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAH:<\/strong> BOco<\/a> was born out of mine and Rob\u2019s (that\u2019s my husband) shared interest in stylish lifestyle products and our love of dogs.<\/p>\n

We launched BOco<\/a> after discovering a gap in the market for the kind of premium contemporary accessories we wanted for our dogs. There were plenty of practical options available, but none that satisfied our personal style and taste.<\/p>\n

We also saw the popularity of \u2018personalisation\u2019 and thought how can this translate to the pet industry? People really connect with products a lot more when it has their name on it and so why not put their dogs name on their accessories? With this in mind, we sourced and invested in the machine and launched BOco<\/a> with the idea of providing unique and personalised accessories for the stylish dog owner.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

ZOOKIE: What have been BOco\u2019s biggest challenges and successes to date?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAH:<\/strong> BOco<\/a> launched in January 2017 and so we are still very new. We have had a great response from customers and are excited about expanding the BOco<\/a> brand. At this stage we are focusing on building the brand, expanding our local and overseas presence and testing out ideas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ZOOKIE: What advice would you offer a pet parent who’s looking for a bespoke collar for their dog?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAH:<\/strong> A well-chosen collar or lead is about finding the perfect balance between fashion with functionality. For the discerning owner and dog, you shouldn\u2019t have to compromise on quality or style. It\u2019s a pretty simple philosophy for the BOco<\/a> team.<\/p>\n

We have designed our accessories to be beautiful, comfortable, fashionable and durable and this is what we would recommend when searching for your perfect collar.<\/p>\n

ZOOKIE:<\/strong> Can we expect any new products from BOco in 2017? <\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAH:<\/strong> We are just launching our BOLD collection, which is a slightly thinner range and also comes in x-small. This range will still feature the pebbled leather and will be available in a gorgeous selection of colours: furever red, hunter green, radiant orchid and baby blue. We are also bringing out a collection of leather dog charms that will add a little collar embellishment. These are also designed to be used as key rings for the humans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ZOOKIE: What is your favourite local\u00a0dog hang-out? <\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAH:<\/strong> Our dogs love the forest environment in which we live, and are regularly seen tearing up and down the old Olinda golf course in the Dandenong Ranges.<\/p>\n
