Our Story
Every story starts with a beginning, and ours began in 1987 in Whistler, British Columbia, when a young entrepreneur by the name of Rory Carr began making products for skiers and snowboarders who play in Canada's rugged mountains.

A fortuitous mistake
How we got involved in the pet business nine years later is a funny story. After mistakenly ordering 10,000 instead of 100 yards of nylon webbing for ski straps, Rory didn't want the product to go to waste. He realized this same tough, dependable webbing could be perfect for dog leashes and collars, and he was right.
From ski straps to pet collars
It was a steep learning curve and breaking into the pet market was anything but a walk in the park, but in 1995 Rory was in the pet business. From trade shows to store visits, the RC Pets team found their fan base with pet guardians who appreciated the same quality of product as they were used to for themselves.
“All we’ve tried to do at RC Pets is stay true to our values. Providing quality products so that you and your pet can enjoy a happier life together.”
