About Us

I'm Jake, and I run Ruled By Dogs. At least, that's what the paperwork says. The truth is I'm middle management. The real bosses are Max and Daisy, two Labradors who have never once asked permission for anything and still get away with it.

They've redefined "personal space," "my side of the bed," and "that's not for you." They're also, against all logic, the best thing that's ever happened to me. So this brand had to be about that: the chaos and the love, because for dog owners they're basically the same thing.

Ruled By Dogs makes graphic tees for people who get it. The ones who talk to their dog in a special voice. The ones who've given up half the sofa without complaint. The ones who've apologized to their dog more than to actual people, and meant it more.

Every tee is soft, durable, and built to last, because the moment it's out of the package, Max and Daisy will try to sleep on it. Printed, packaged, and shipped from Florida and Texas, with the same care I'd want for my own dogs.

If your dog has ever looked at you like you hung the moon, and you've looked back and thought "yeah, fair," welcome. You're one of us.

Wear the bond. Embrace the chaos. Long live the real boss.
