About us
Born from a Wagging Tail
Our Story
It all started with one sewing machine, a wagging tail, and an ambition fueled by love for pets.
Back in 2018, we were inspired by our own Toy Terrier, Cookie. We couldn’t find a pet carrier that felt safe and soft, or a bed that actually held its shape through the washes. So, we started making our own - focusing on comfort, durability, and thoughtful design.
Today, everything we make is rooted in that same care, using fabrics that are kind to pets and for the planet.
Our Fabrics
We choose fabrics with your pet - and the planet - in mind. Our materials are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified (free from harmful substances), and some of our beds use PETPROOF fabric that resists claws and repels fur for easy cleaning.
Zero Waste Approach
We turn fabric off-cuts into toys and accessories, helping us minimise waste and use our materials more thoughtfully. It’s one of the many ways we reduce our footprint without compromising on quality.
Meet the Team
We’re small but mighty - a family business with a passion for good design, slow production, and dogs. With the help of our trusted testers, Cookie and Rocky, every product is properly pet-approved.
