I’ve always loved pets, but adopting my dog, Toto, recently has taken things to an entirely new level. I am officially one of those pet parents who’s completely obsessed, and I now understand the urge to buy anything with your dog’s name on it. Of course, I still want my small Brooklyn apartment to feel like me, so finding pet accessories that are as cute as they are useful has become a bit of a personal mission.

Etsy’s Pet Gotcha campaign, running through the end of September, is giving me plenty of ideas for celebrating my newest family member. There’s also the first-ever Best in Show merch collection with Rachel Antonoff and Susan Alexandra, who teamed up with independent Etsy sellers to celebrate the third annual Best in Show to show off adorable, adoptable dogs in collaboration for NYFW. The pieces include a printed pet diaper bag, matching collars, and a beaded leash holder. Between those playful new designs and Etsy’s personalized finds, these are the picks I’d happily make room for.

Pet Diaper Bag x Best in Show Collection
$125

Consider this your pet’s very own going-out bag. Co-designed with Rachel Antonoff, the tote features one of her newest prints and is made to carry all your pet essentials. Toto would look too fabulous with this on his (my) arm.

Susan Alexandra x Rachel Antonoff Hand-Painted & Beaded Leash Frame
$135

This decorative leash holder combines Rachel Antonoff fabric with Susan Alexandra-inspired beading, giving an everyday necessity a very cute place to land. Co-designed with both designers, it’s the piece I’d put right by the front door for a little personality and an easier exit.

3D Floral Beaded Pet Pouch & Treat Bag Holder x Best in Show Collection
$75

A floral beaded pouch for dog treats is exactly the kind of accessory I would have admired before adopting Toto and now feel compelled to own. The dimensional flowers make even a quick walk around the block feel like an occasion.

Handmade Merino Wool Cupcake Collar
$48

Inspired by the Peter Pan collar on Rachel Antonoff’s cupcake sweater, these co-designed crochet collars let pets and their people coordinate. Do Toto and I need matching collars? No, but I’m having a hard time coming up with a reason we shouldn’t have them.

Personalized Ceramic Pet Treats Containers
$34

A handmade ceramic jar with your pet’s name on a little bone or fish makes their treat stash worthy of a spot on the counter. This one is also dishwasher-safe, which makes the decision to keep it within easy reach even easier.

Handmade Ceramic Pet Bowl
$50

The colorful stripes would have sold me on this ceramic bowl alone, but you can also have your pet’s portrait hand-painted inside and their name added to the rim. It’s a little piece of custom pottery for their dinner spot, and I’m very much on board.

$50 at Etsy
Personalized Chainstitch Embroidered Bandana
$60

Classic paisley and cursive chainstitch embroidery give this cotton bandana the charm of something you’d stumble across in a vintage shop. Choose your bandana and thread colors, then add your pet’s name for a very cute upgrade to their daily walk outfit.

BAILEY BAG by Puffer Pets
$188

With its puffy quilting and sandy neutral color, this carrier looks like a cozy little weekender for your favorite travel companion. Made for pets up to 15 pounds, it doubles as a portable lounger and has a removable, washable cushion.

$188 at Etsy
Cat Scratching Post Alternative
$50$37

This floral scratch mat is the kind of pet accessory that could pass for decor at first glance. Its wall-mounted design gives your cat a sisal scratching surface without taking up the floor space of a freestanding post.

Colorful Striped Pet ID Tag
$25

These bright striped tags are a tiny way to add a lot of personality to your pet’s collar. Customize the font and metal color, add your pet’s name and an optional phone number on the back, and request a little floral detail if you want to make it even sweeter.

$25 at Etsy
Bamboo Cat Bridge with Shelves
$329

Your cat may already run the household, but this wall-mounted bamboo bridge gives them a proper perch for overseeing it. Shelves at either end create room to lounge, while the bridge turns unused wall space into a place to explore.
