The Story

basil & friends was founded by Cinry Lei, in honor of her rescue pup, Basil. What started as a way to keep Basil close during night walks became a global product — helping pet parents everywhere carry their companions with them, always.


The Spotlight is a custom collar projector that turns any nighttime dog walk into a glowing, walk-by moment of connection — illuminating your pet's portrait on the pavement for strangers, friends, and neighbors to see. Starting at $69.90.


Giving Back

10% of net sales from our Service Dog Edition go to guide dog schools. As the mom of a rescue pup, we also donate 10% of net sales to rescue centers worldwide.
