OUR STORY
Mia Cooper & Co began the same way many meaningful things do — with love for a dog who changed everything.
Mia - Where it all began, our soul dog
Mia was more than a pet. She was family, personality, routine, comfort - and the kind of presence that quietly shapes a home.
When Mia passed, we struggled to find something that felt personal enough to honour her. We didn’t want mass-produced keepsakes or generic memorials. We wanted something that felt like her.
So we created it.
What started as a single piece to remember Mia soon became something more - friends, family, and other pet lovers began asking for pieces of their own. Without realising it, Mia had inspired the beginning of what would become Mia Cooper & Co.
She remains the heart behind everything we create.
Cooper - Our namesake, our rock 🐾
Cooper came into our lives with a different kind of energy, but just as much impact.
Our families rock. A regal old soul (even as a puppy). An independent spirit who marched to the beat of his own drum. A lover of anything edible - and sometimes inedible - the kind of dog who simply makes a household home.
As Mia Cooper & Co grew, Cooper’s presence became part of the brand itself - from our name to the spirit behind every design. Losing him has been incredibly recent and deeply personal for our family. Experiencing that grief has only deepened our understanding of what memorial pieces truly mean to the people who trust us with their pets’ stories.
Cooper isn’t just part of our name. He’s part of our purpose.
Why we do what we do
Made by pet lovers, for pet lovers
Every custom piece we create carries the understanding that it represents more than a pet. It represents companionship, loyalty, routines, memories - the quiet moments and the loud ones. Because we’ve stood where our customers stand, we approach every design with care, patience & respect for the trust placed in us.
Mia Cooper & Co is proudly designed and made in Australia by a small family team who understand just how deeply pets shape our lives. This business exists because of Mia and Cooper and continues every day thanks to the love we share with Harper and Henley. Every piece we create is a continuation of that story.
And today… Henley & Harper
These days, our studio is shared with two very important team members - Harper and Henley.
They’re our quality control supervisors, daily companions and the faces you’ll often see modelling on social media or keeping us company while we work.
Where Mia and Cooper shaped the heart behind what we do, Harper & Henley bring the joy, chaos & laughter that fills our workspace today.
They’re a reminder that while we honour the pets we’ve lost, we also celebrate the ones still by our side.
