Rufus - The app for dog owners

This is so true!!! 🥰🥰🥰🐶🐶🐶

🐾

Dog walking apps are a great way for you to keep your dog exercised when you can't. We have found some great apps that you can trust to find a walker (and sitter) easily, and relatively cheaply. Most importantly, these innovations are creating a secure service for your dog.

🦷 Dental Health Matters: Did you know dental issues are common in dogs? Regular dental care is crucial for their overall well-being.

💰 Save on Vet Bills: Dental procedures can be expensive. With dental insurance, you can get financial help, ensuring your furry friend gets the care they need without breaking the bank.

🚀 Proactive Prevention: Dental insurance encourages regular check-ups, making preventive care easier. Catching issues early can save your pup from pain and save you from costly treatments.

🤗 Happy, Healthy Smiles: Investing in dental insurance means investing in your dog's smile! Keep those teeth clean, and strong, and make every day a good day for your pet.

🐾 Peace of Mind: Dental insurance gives you peace of mind, knowing you're prepared for any unexpected dental issues. A healthy smile, a happy dog, and less stress for you – it's a win-win!

We avoid using SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) in our pet shampoo not only because it can harm your dog's skin, but also because of the environment! SLS can cause skin irritation, dryness, and allergies in animals. It strips natural oils, leading to a dull coat and flaky skin. Safer alternatives like natural cleansers are gentler on pets, promoting healthier skin and fur. Prioritise pet-friendly products to ensure their well-being! 🐾

Never feel like you need to give up style for practicality. Ideal for every dog owner, these carriers all cater to something different for every dog!

How unsustainable is pet care? Our goal is to make pet care beautifully sustainable. Needless to say, we put your pet's needs first, but we feel that this doesn't need to go against your values or your home decor.

Did you know:
- 99% of all pet food and treat packaging goes directly into landfill
- Plastic isn't infinitely recyclable
- The pet-food industry produces 300 million pounds of plastic waste yearly just in the US
- We want to solve this!

Company Update - Our Values… The Cornerstone Of Our Company.

This company was founded by James, for his Cocker Spaniel Merlot. He created this company to make our pet’s planet more of a part of ours. We value sustainability and helping causes too. Without our values, we are nothing!

Top Dog Friendly UK AirBnBs-

Nowhere combines luxury and adventure like these AirBnBs. We have accumulated our top 5 favourite stays which welcome dogs too.

In a world where we look for the beautiful, why are we purchasing ugly products for our pets? Our animals are beautiful, the relationship we have with them is beautiful, so why can't their products be too?

Our mission is to make our pet’s planet fit Pawfectly into ours, and great design is a large part of this. Don't you agree?

If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.

Be the person your dog thinks you are.

Company Update – Sulphates… the easy option.

We have been developing this idea for a while. Why didn’t anyone tell us that creating a ‘first of its kind’ product was going to be difficult. Ok maybe they did, but they never told me that this industry is so reliant on carcinogens and unsafe chemicals that we are struggling to find an alternative. Sulphates are a huge part of this industry, even with their negatives, but we think we have found alternatives that are not harmful at all… one we found is ok to eat! (Please don’t eat our shampoo…I really don’t have time for a lawsuit). Sulphates right now would be the easy option for many companies; however, we don’t want to be like any other company, we want to be the best!

Any ideas are always welcome, as well as any feedback is always appreciated.

We are getting everything ready on our end to give you a future pet care company. However, we need to know we are giving you and your dog what you both need to lead a happy and healthy life. Can you please help by filling out our survey (link in bio) so we can make the right company for you!

Thank you,

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

Did you know that dog shampoo isn't regulated? Well, we do, and honestly we think that is foolish. Your dog's skin is as sensitive, if not more so, than a human's. Therefore, we have put our dog shampoo through the same clinical trials as human shampoo to make sure it is up to a high enough standard. This along with our natural active ingredients pushes us to create a product that is superior to others on the market.

Honestly... I also do this because otherwise, my dog gets the post-bath itchies...

A dog is the only thing that can mend a crack in your broken heart.

Can you think of any more ideas for how you can look after your pooch during the hot summer months?
