So when Marketing Made Clear published a fascinating article on dogs as an extension of ourselves, it hit […]

Let’s be honest: most dog toys don’t last. Within days—sometimes hours—they’re in tatters, shredded fluff scattered like confetti, and another plastic chew toy ends up in the bin. But what if there was a better way to play? Enter the rope toy: tough, fun, natural, and brilliantly biodegradable. These unassuming twisted cords are one of the […]

When it comes to sustainable materials, paper often gets unfairly overlooked. It’s humble, unflashy, and probably crumpled up in your coat pocket right now. But dig a little deeper and you’ll discover that paper is one of the most sustainable materials available—especially when it’s used wisely and sourced responsibly. In a world drowning in plastic, it’s time […]

Plastic is everywhere. It’s in our homes, our oceans, our soil—and increasingly, our dogs. From chew toys and water bowls to food packaging and poo bags, plastic has quietly become the default in the pet world. But behind the convenience lies a major problem: plastic pollution is poisoning ecosystems, harming animals, and persisting for centuries. […]

Let’s face it—no one gets a dog for the joy of scooping warm poo into a plastic bag. But here we are, a nation of devoted dog owners dutifully bagging and binning it, sometimes multiple times a day. The bigger problem? The bags themselves. Every year, an estimated 1 billion plastic dog poop bags are used in […]

Why Good Intentions Aren’t Always Good Business – article also posted on Marketing Made Clear – Written by Will Green.

Cue the bin, the guilt, and another trip to the pet shop. The truth is, most dog toys aren’t designed to last. Worse still, many are […]

How Sustainable Is Your Dog, Really? We talk a lot about reducing our own carbon footprints—but what about your dog’s paw print? From food to toys, grooming to travel, every choice we make for our dogs adds up. This quiz is designed to help you spot where you’re smashing it—and where you could level up your […]

One Walk, One Bag, One Big Problem Let’s be honest. No one enjoys picking up dog poo. But if you’ve got a dog, you’ve got to do the decent thing. The problem is, most of us think we’re doing the eco-friendly thing too—thanks to those so-called “biodegradable” poo bags lining supermarket shelves. Unfortunately, many of […]

Let’s Talk Kibble Most dog owners are trying to do the right thing. We want our dogs to be happy, healthy and full of beans. But what if the very thing you feed your dog every day is doing more harm than good? Ultra-processed kibble—the dry, crunchy stuff bagged up in bright packaging—might be convenient. […]

A continuation of an article on Marketing Made Clear: We all know that climate change is real. It’s no longer just a threat on the horizon – it’s here, it’s happening, and it’s affecting all of us. Humans, yes. But also our forests, oceans, and… our dogs. From sweltering heatwaves that leave paws scalded on […]
