Now entering its sixth year as a fixture in the Bridgehampton retail landscape, Dog & Co. has successfully bridged the gap between high-fashion aesthetics and practical pet care. Founded in 2014 by fashion industry veteran Mindy Montney and photographer Robert Stoetzel, the brand made its unplanned East End debut in 2020. What began as a strategic move during the pandemic has evolved into a vital community hub for dog owners who refuse to sacrifice their personal design sensibility for their pets.
Located in the heart of Bridgehampton, the shop offers a distinctly softer and calmer vibe than its sister location in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle. The expanded floor plan allows the boutique to showcase a curated assortment of larger items that are often a tight squeeze in urban apartments, such as high-end designer beds and an extensive collection of outdoor gear. The inventory is a careful mix of independent designer labels and Dog & Co.’s own proprietary line, which is produced ethically in the U.S. and abroad.
The “Hamptons dog lifestyle” is clearly reflected in the shop’s best-sellers. While urban customers often focus on booties and puzzle toys, the Bridgehampton clientele gravitates toward outdoor essentials like ball flingers, durable raincoats made in New York’s Garment District, and waterproof colorblock collars produced in Pennsylvania. This focus on durability and “man’s best friend” utility ensures that every product can withstand a day at the beach or a long walk through the local trails.
Beyond its role as a specialty retailer, Dog & Co. has distinguished itself through its commitment to animal welfare. The brand frequently uses its platform to host adoption events and fundraisers, fostering a community of “obsessed” dog owners who treat their pets as true family members. This heart-forward approach has earned the shop a loyal following of locals and visitors who often encounter the team not just in the store, but at outdoor dinners and community events throughout the village.
As the 2026 season gets underway, Dog & Co. continues to innovate with its signature knitwear collections. Their latest Merino cable-knit sweaters, designed and produced with a master machine-knitter in Brooklyn, represent the brand’s ongoing dedication to local manufacturing and high-quality materials. For those navigating the East End with a four-legged companion, Dog & Co. remains the premier destination for thoughtful, stylish, and responsibly made pet essentials.
