Empowering Pet Parents: Why We Made the Harness Band

As pet parents, we all want the same thing: for our pets to be seen, understood, and safe in a world that doesn’t always speak their language.

At Pupular, we believe communication is everything — not just between people, but between pets and the people around them. That’s why we created the Harness Band: a simple, flexible solution to help pet parents express their pet’s needs, personality, and boundaries clearly, without saying a word.

The Problem We Kept Seeing

We noticed a pattern. Too often, pet owners were frustrated by the lack of easy ways to signal important information about their animals. Whether a dog is reactive, in training, deaf, or just shy, strangers don’t always know how to approach. That can lead to uncomfortable — and sometimes unsafe — interactions for everyone involved.

The only options? Buying a whole new harness with built-in labels or built-in space for Velcro attachments, DIY Velcro hacks, or nothing at all.

That didn’t sit right with us.

So We Asked: What If There Were a Smarter Way?

The Harness Band was born from a desire to make pet communication effortless. It attaches seamlessly to any harness, collar, or leash — no matter the style or size — and gives you the freedom to swap in whatever patch your situation calls for. Going to the dog park? Attach “Friendly.” Headed to the vet? “Skittish” might be the better choice that day.

It’s flexible. It’s reusable. It grows with your pet — and your lifestyle.

For the Empowered Pet Parent

We didn’t just want to build a product. We wanted to create a tool that makes pet parents feel more confident, more in control, and more connected to their pets’ needs.

The Harness Band is for those who see their pets as individuals with personalities, moods, and preferences. It's for the dog moms who train every weekend, the rescue parents navigating triggers, and the everyday walkers who just want a smoother stroll around the block.

It's More Than an Accessory — It's a Voice

At Pupular, we believe that every pet deserves to be understood, and every pet parent deserves to feel empowered. The Harness Band is our small but powerful way of making that happen.

Because your pet may not speak human, but with the right tools — they don’t have to.
