About Us.

Kaykos Dog Shades is a unique line of sunglasses for dogs, inspired by our family dog, Kayko. In 2016, while hiking, my brother noticed Kayko squinting in the sun. He fashioned a pair of sunglasses for her, and we saw a remarkable change in how people reacted—fear turned to joy. This sparked the idea to create stylish, functional UV-protecting dog sunglasses.

After testing prototypes with friends and seeing positive reactions, we began designing shades based on Kayko's and other dogs' head shapes. Our mission is to marry function comfort and style that matches your dogs unique personality. Stand out while keeping all the bad stuff out ( U.V Rays, Debris, Haters) with Kaykos Dog Shades.  

Named in honor of our beloved pit bull, who passed away in August 2020, Kaykos Dog Shades continues to provide UV protection and bring smiles to everyone who meets a dog wearing them. Proudly family-owned and created in San Jose, CA, we offer the only dog product with a "Smile Back Guarantee."
