Our Story
Pops & Coco is a small, passionate pet brand owned by Emma and Charlie and named after two very special family members – our late pug, Poppy, and our cat, Coco. We launched in 2021 with a simple mission: to create affordable, great-quality dog walking accessories that pet owners (and their pets) will love.
Emma says:
“Poppy was nearly ten at the time, and while I loved some of the accessories I found for her, I was frustrated at how expensive they were. Having worked on a pet brand before, I wanted to put my own stamp on the pet accessories world. Plus, Poppy was the perfect model! My favourite part of the job is show season – getting out and about, meeting new and familiar faces, and fussing over all sorts of dogs all day… it’s a dream!”
Charlie says:
“Pops & Coco was the first time I hadn’t had to work for someone else. Having your own business can be tough, but it’s so rewarding. I love seeing happy customers come back time and again. I’m also proud to have added our Cat Zone, which I feel is underrepresented in the pet accessories market. The last two years have been a whirlwind – we’ve grown so much, and just wait until you see what’s coming next!”
What started as a small online store has now grown to four online platforms, including TikTok, where we’ve had thousands of sales already. From April to September, you can find us at some of our favourite outdoor events – including Goodwoof, All About Dogs, and Paws in the Park – where we get to meet our amazing customers (and their even more amazing dogs) in person. When we're not whizzing about we're either live on TikTok or packing all your amazing orders up.
In June 2025, we sadly lost our gorgeous Poppy at the grand age of 13½. She was our chief harness and jumper tester, treat-guzzler extraordinaire, and the biggest character with the biggest heart. We miss her every single day, she's left a huge hole in our lives, but she will always be the soul of Pops & Coco.
In loving memory of Poppy – 14/11/2011 to 01/06/2025. ❤️
