What Harry Barker does

Harry Barker is a consumer products company founded in 1997 that designs and sells eco-friendly pet accessories, organized into four core collections — Sleep (envelope and rectangle dog beds with removable washable covers, channel-quilted USA-made inserts in hypo-allergenic mildew-resistant fabrics), Eat (recyclable tin food storage canisters, collapsible travel bowls, recycled-plastic travel bags, food scoops), Play (rope toys made from 100% recycled yarn with double-stitched seams, canvas frisbees), and Walk (signature stripe collars with personalization) — plus a newer cat line of ceramic and slanted modern bowls. The company emphasizes sustainable manufacturing using post-consumer recycled plastics for bed inserts, azo-free dyes, recyclable tin for storage, and earth-friendly fabrics across the assortment.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via harrybarker.com (Shopify-based, with Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major card networks at checkout), the Amazon marketplace, and wholesale distribution to pet retail chains including Petco, PetValu, Walmart, ASDA, and PetBarn, as well as independent pet boutiques. Products are sold as one-time purchases with no subscription component, free shipping over $150, and shipping restricted to the contiguous United States.

Since April 2017, Harry Barker has operated as a brand within the Mission Pets Inc. portfolio (San Francisco, CA), which also includes Mission Wild, Pup Crew Pro, SimplyDog, SimplyWag, SimplyCat, Smoochie Pooch, Lulu Pink, and Wag-A-Tude. The company targets style-conscious and eco-conscious pet owners, supported by a 27-year editorial presence in publications such as O Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Vogue, Better Homes & Gardens, and Woman's Day, and charitable give-back partnerships with Canines for Veterans, Mote Marine Laboratory, and Planet Bee Foundation.
