Paula explores how far the firm has come thanks to its unique focus on dogs and their comfort and happiness. “Here at the Eco Dog Design Company, the secret behind our success is that the dog is at the Heart of everything we produce. Along with our main range of products, we also specialise in creating bespoke and tailormade designs for couples who are looking to bring along a treasured Dog for their special Wedding Day. Creating coordinated Collars and Leads in matching Fabrics, or even sourcing Clan Tartans. “As a business we are proud to be classed as a 5-star rated Business from the quality of our products, recycled packaging, Dog of the Month Competition, and a popular “Return, Renew and Recycle” scheme. As we grow, we are collaborating with other locally sourced small businesses to ensure we can produce products which are not only regionally sourced, but of premium quality and design. This ensures that we retain our core principals as we expand and flourish.” Looking towards the future, Paula foresees even greater opportunities for her firm as the pet market, in particular the dog sector, is flourishing despite facing many challenges. “In the pet industry today, dogs are seen to be a growing market although with Brexit all businesses are concerned about what the future will actually bring. The Eco Dog Design Company is currently sourcing UK suppliers, and ensuring our foothold through keeping our products British, using small, locally sourced affiliate business providers wherever possible, and keeping our eco ethos when selecting additional products to expand the business. “Moving forward, as with any industry we will face challenges, however we will still ensure that we will always produce high quality products at competitive prices for our growing customer base.” Inspired by a love of dogs, the Eco Dog Design Company creates beautiful dog accessories designed with style comfort and sustainability in mind. We caught up with Founder Paula Jardine to find out more.
