Meet Jax: The Mini Aussie Behind Love Wag & Play

If you’ve spent any time around Love Wag & Play, you’ve already met our biggest inspiration — Jax.

Jax is our silly, smart, and endlessly lovable mini Australian Shepherd. He’s the kind of pup who zooms through the house at full speed, tilts his head at every new sound, demands belly rubs on his schedule, and somehow manages to melt our hearts every single day. He’s not just our dog — he’s our little boy, our shadow, and the heart behind everything we create.

Life With a “Take Me Everywhere” Pup

From the very beginning, Jax made it clear that he wanted to be included in everything. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Between traveling back and forth from New York to New Jersey to visit family, running errands, and squeezing in park days, Jax was always along for the ride. But constantly being on the go made one thing very obvious — we needed dog gear that was functional, organized, and easy, without sacrificing style.

I didn’t want bulky bags, cluttered pockets, or mismatched accessories. I wanted tactical, hands-free essentials that actually made life easier while traveling and walking with a high-energy pup.

Why Love Wag & Play Was Created

Love Wag & Play was born out of real life with Jax. I started this brand because I couldn’t find dog accessories that fit my lifestyle — neutral and modern, pieces that felt thoughtfully designed and worked for everyday movement. Whether it was quick walks, long travel days between NY and NJ, or spontaneous adventures, I wanted products that helped me stay organized and stress-free.

Everything here is inspired by what we actually use — pieces that hold up to busy days, keep essentials within reach, and still look clean, minimal, and elevated.

Designed for Real Life With Dogs

Jax reminds us daily why practicality matters. When you’re juggling leashes, treats, poop bags, keys, phones, and coffee (always coffee), having the right gear makes all the difference.

Love Wag & Play is about making everyday moments easier:

Walks that feel effortless

Travel days that stay organized

Accessories that fit seamlessly into your life

All while keeping things neutral, cozy, and modern — just the way we like it.

The Heart of Our Brand 

Jax may not understand business, but he understands comfort, movement, and being close. His personality shaped this brand more than he’ll ever know.

And if you ask him? He’s fully convinced Love Wag & Play was made just for him.

Thank you for being here, supporting our small business, and sharing this journey with us. It truly means the world. 🤍🐶

— Diana & Jax
