From Restaurant Owner to Road Tripper — Here's Why I Built This
10 years of long days and hard work, building my restaurant Colins from nothing. A year of renovations before we served our first plate. Every penny reinvested back into the business. Then COVID hit — doors closed overnight, a full restaurant suddenly empty, and everything I'd built fighting to survive. We made it through. But those years took everything I had.
Through all of it, I had one dream I kept pushing to "someday." Pack up everything, buy a camper, and travel the world with my wife Nancy and our Basset Hound Bobbie — before we're too old to enjoy it. At 58, I realized someday was now or never.
So I stopped waiting. We gave up everything we had built — the restaurant, the house, the stability — packed it all into a camper, and left. Just me, Nancy, and Bobbie. It was the scariest decision of my life. But some dreams don't wait.
What I didn't expect: before we could leave, I realized Bobbie had no proper gear for life on the road. So I spent a full year researching, developing and testing everything myself — on Bobbie, in real conditions, on real walks.
That's how Bobbie On Wheels was born. Not in a boardroom. In real life, with a real dog, before a real journey.
Your support keeps our dream alive. In return, you get products developed and tested by a real person who genuinely cares — not a corporate brand.

Every Unrestrained Car Ride Puts You and Your Dog at Risk
Dogs love car rides. They move around, climb between seats, and try to be as close to you as possible. In the event of sudden braking or an accident, that freedom can turn dangerous in an instant - for your dog and everyone in the car.
We buckle up automatically. Our dogs deserve the same level of protection.
The Bobbie Seatbelt® was created to solve a problem many dog owners didn't realize they were facing every day: unsecured dogs in moving vehicles. Tested on thousands of miles of road trips across Europe, it's designed to keep your dog safe and you distraction-free.
