I'd be lying if I said Popps was full of productivity on packing day, but it was nice to see her feeling so relaxed amongst the chaos! 😅 🐾 🏠

Just back from a sunny break in Tenerife, and we're excited to connect with more independent pet stores! If you're on the hunt for quality, durable dog gear from a Scotland-owned business, drop us a message. We'd love to chat! 😊🐾

My youngest's first holiday in the sun, and my eldest's last day at school.

I am forever proud of you both. 💜

We are excited to announce some updates to our orange Advance Harness! We've increased the reflective piping around our hypalon and changed the jersey mesh lining to orange, blending in seamlessly with the binding edge. We are always looking for ways to improve our products and provide the best for our furry friends.

Our updated design will be available once our current line runs it's course.

What are your thoughts on these changes? Let us know in the comments below!

Today we are busy creating brand boards for our new Stockists.

Which one would you choose to have in your shop display?

Rusty needs our help!

This beautiful boy is not even a year old yet and is suffering from severe bilateral hip dysplasia. The only treatment recommended for Rusty is a full hip replacement.

Unfortunately, despite being insured, Rusty's treatment is costing more than his owners can afford.

We love our pets, and would do anything to see them live a long, happy and healthy life.

Let's come together and raise funds for Rusty's operation.

£5 from every Advance Harness sale online will be donated towards the cost of Rusty's operations.

Finally getting back into sharing our journey on YouTube. 📽️

This is part of our business we have been neglecting...largely impacted by military commitments and the lack of time we have set aside to film together!

However, content now scheduled and planned - if you are someone who enjoys watching content on YouTube please do have a look, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button to keep up to date with all things CAIRD!

Just a few reasons on you should choose 👌🏻 🌄 🐾

Building a brand takes the courage to stand up for what you believe the world needs the most.

We are lucky to live in a world so full of new and ideas - great people who resonate with the problems you experience, and work tirelessly to carve you, and others, a better journey.

However, when the risks are so high, we often get lost in our own safety net - telling a that we think others want to hear - promoting products that make us feel uncomfortable.
We lose all authenticity.
Why? Because we need the sales to survive.

'As our dog grew bigger and stronger, we were pulled off our feet many times, and walking became such a chore...so we designed a 'no-pull' harness that will solve all your walking issues'.

Yes, this story might sell us more harnesses, but it wouldn't reflect our , our values, or our beliefs.

At CAIRD, we believe in a world of comfy adventures.

A world where our canine companions head out on adventures in gear that is as comfortable, and durable as the gear we invest in for ourselves.

We design products to support your training journey too. Products that have been recognised and supported by canine physiotherapists, and members of the community. Products that support our story, and will appeal to those who know, like, and trust what we aim to accomplish.

If you are at the starting point of building your own brand identity. Remember this.

Don't be afraid to , and up for what you believe the world needs the most.

We have some exciting news!
Get ready to fall in love with our Autumn collection. 🍁 🐾

Pre-order available online.

What makes us different?

Isn't it funny. You spend most of the first twenty years of your life doing anything to just fit in - only to grow and find that standing out is what you strive to achieve.

The CAIRD Company design dog gear for the unique breeds - the rescue breeds - the cross breeds - the sporty breeds.
We recognise that one size does not fit all, and we strive to create dog gear to suit specific sizes, and lifestyles.

We believe in a better way to journey together with your best friend. We believe in you being uniquely you.

This can be pre-ordered online but note it won't be in stock until the end of August!

We have our Autumn range samples arriving this week!

✨ New Product Sample Alert ✨

Customers asked, and we listened!

We will soon have our 1m Bungee lead, and Traffic handle here to test.

Made from our signature Freedom to Run webbing with reflective detailing, and our strong, lockable carabiner clips.

We can't wait to test these!

Finding commitment a struggle when it comes to fitness?

Running is something I struggled to get into before Poppy came along.

I suffer from sports induced asthma, so I find long distance running a challenge. I also struggle with patience when it comes to fitness goals - going from the couch to 5k (literally), then wonder why I struggle. 😅

Beginning your journey into running with your best furry friend can be SO enjoyable and motivating! It is also a constant reminder that you need to build up to that 5k, together.

Whether I am walking, jogging, or sprinting, our Freedom to Run Bungee lead is my go to gear!

It is incredibly lightweight, without compromising on strength and reliability. It also features an additional reflective traffic handle, so I can keep Poppy safely close by while we are on route to the park.

Fully adjustable, this lead can be handheld, or worn around the waist, and is inclusive for all sizes.

Let's wake up tomorrow, and get running, together!

There is still time to raise money for Rusty!

£5 from every Advance Harness sale will go towards funding Rusty's hip replacement surgery.

Rusty is suffering from bilateral hip dysplasia. A painful, life limiting condition.

Let's help this wonderful family. 🙌🏻
