Meet Colleen

How long have you worked here?
13.5 years

What is your "specialty" or favorite topic to chat with customers about? What do you nerd out on the most?

Functional Pet Nutrition: I could talk forever about raw food, diet upgrades, and adding longevity-boosting extras to your pet's bowl. When I adopted my dog Spirit, her coat was super rough, oily, and smelly, after switching to raw, the transformation in her skin and coat was unreal. Now, my favorite thing is taking that experience and making pet wellness simple, practical, and easy for other parents to execute.

Gear You'll Actually Use: I'm a huge fan of products that make life with pets better and safer (every dog I have has a Float Coat!). I love sharing how to practically incorporate my favorites into your daily routine.

Pet Fashion: Putting together coordinated outfits. If you want to layer a cozy sweater with a perfectly folded bandana and a charm-accented collar, come find me, I'll help you style a full runway moment.

When I'm not at The Fish & Bone, I'm probably:
Squeezing in as much outdoor time as possible, whether that's surfing, going for a run with my dog Maple, hanging in the yard, or taking the pups for a beach cruise. I'm also an avid thrifter who loves building unique outfits for myself (bringing that same styling passion from dog gear to human clothes!). Otherwise, I'm at home begrudgingly helping my husband, Jay renovate our 226-year-old house. I love coming up with the design vision and picking out the details — it's the manual labor part that I would be happy to skip!

What's something fun people might not know about you?
I own a porch goose, and yes, I style its outfits seasonally (and oftentimes monthly). My love for curating looks doesn't stop with pets and humans. My goose is easily the best-dressed bird in the neighborhood.
