Our Story

For Cassie, for Nala, and every ride after.

Calla began as a quiet promise to take the dog Sara loves into more of life, and to make the travel essential she kept wishing already existed.

The origin

A personal reason, translated into a better product.

Cassie

The first love

Sara's childhood dog of 14 years, and the reason Calla carries so much tenderness.

Nala

The CEO

A brown and white border collie who inspired the need for better everyday travel gear.

Calla

The promise

A blend of Cassie and Nala's names, built for owners making the most of every moment.

Calla is named after two border collies, Cassie and Nala. Cassie was my childhood dog of 14 years. I was young, and I never got to take her out the way I wanted to. After she passed, I made a promise that with Nala, my brown and white border collie, I'd do everything I didn't get to do with Cassie. Every car ride, every outing, every adventure. But every seat cover on the market let us down. So I decided to build something better: for Cassie, for Nala, and for every pet owner who just wants to make the most of every moment with their dog.
