How it all began

The spark behind The Wag Life Co.

Hi, I’m Natalie — a Canadian now living in Argentina with my family and our dog, Milo. WAG started with a simple truth: life feels better when your dog’s part of the journey. But it also began with heartbreak — seeing how many dogs here live without care, safety, or even shelter.

The WAG Life Co. was born to change that. It’s a space where dog parents feel equipped and empowered to explore — and where dogs in need aren't forgotten along the way.

The moment I knew something had to change

When the “best option” wasn’t good enough

When we moved, I relied on a pet travel agency to bring Milo safely overseas. I paid a premium and assumed he was in good hands. Later, I found out there were more humane options — I didn’t know they existed.

That helpless feeling — being unsure, misled, or stuck with uncomfortable choices — was something I never wanted another dog parent to go through.

Simplifying life on the move

Making the complicated feel doable

Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or an international move, bringing your dog along can feel overwhelming. What gear do you need? What airline rules apply? How do you keep them safe and stress-free?

I created WAG to make it easier — to cut through confusion and offer clear, trustworthy solutions. With the right support, life on the move with your dog doesn’t just work — it thrives

What rescue taught me

The other side of the story

Once we settled in Argentina, I began volunteering with a local rescue. It opened my eyes to a reality far from curated pet stores and Instagrammable moments. Many dogs here fight to survive — no shelter, no safety, no home to call their own.

That experience shaped WAG into more than a product platform. It carries a bigger purpose: the vision of giving all dogs — not just the lucky ones — a chance at love, adventure, and care.

Inspired by Bonita

How one rescue changed everything

One afternoon, I found a trembling, malnourished dog lying in the street. She had no collar, no home — just fear in her eyes. We named her Bonita. And with the help of local rescuers, she got the care she needed and a fresh start.

Bonita reminded me that hope is real — and that even small actions can lead to big change. Her story gave WAG its soul.

Why WAG exists

The heart behind every product

Milo sparked the idea. Bonita gave it heart. Together, they inspired The WAG Life Co. — your trusted hub for gear, guidance, and good intentions.

We’re here to help you explore more, stress less, and keep the bigger mission in sight: creating a future where every life adventure with your dog also helps open doors for those still waiting. Supporting rescues is part of the vision and as WAG grows, so will our ability to give back.
