Green & Wild's Olive the Octopus
Olive the octopus: an eco toy for you and your dog to have lots of fun with, whilst being safe in the knowledge that it is made from natural, renewable and recyclable materials
With an added recycled crinkler bottle for that extra “crunch”. This can be replaced with tasty treats to really get the interest going!
Made from sustainable jute which is a natural plant fibre and covered in a soft suede. It is robust and produced without using any added compound that would harm or be released when chewed. Jute is 100% biodegradable. The suede is a by-product and ensures this material is not wasted.

On the 4th day of Christmas - we bring you
Ruff & Tumble Drying Mitts
A great addition for drying those muddy, wet paws & legs
Made of two layers of cotton towelling, they absorb wet and wipe away mud easily. Unlike using thin towels, you can see and feel the paws as you clean them, so it’s so easy to clean paws thoroughly and quickly! These luxuriously soft and extra-long mittens feel lovely to use and protect your clothes too. Hang on a hook by the back door and grab your mud magnet before it races past you into the house and say goodbye to muddy floors forever!

Happy Christmas to family & friends of Distinctive Pets from the team.
We've had a lovely year and really enjoyed meeting people at the shows we have done in 2024.
Peanut joined the team in September and really fits in well now, learning on the job. She is aiming for chief tester in the future.
Plans are already being made for 2025 and we look forward to what the new year brings.
Have a lovely Christmas everyone

Winter is well and truly here.
Some of us have horses as well as dogs and Distinctive Pets has 2 products that I've found useful at the stables.
Firstly Ruff & Tumble Drying Mitts are fantastic as helping me dry wet horse's legs. At £23.95 they are a great addition to your essential winter kit.
Secondly if your horse has to be in for longer periods at this time of the year - have you thought of a stable toy. Green & Wild's Carol the Christmas Tree is an eco friendly large toy with a soft suede outer with natural jute fibre filling and a plaited jute rope. At over 70cm long it can be hung up in your horse's stable for them to have hours of fun. At £12.50 it is very competitively priced.

I’m on a trip away from home today so Charlotte is looking after Peanut whilst working from home !!
Launching in 2016 after I was doing a lot of soul searching in my life. I was very overweight, my daughter was at University and likely to be leaving home after she graduated - what did I have in my life to work at - not a lot.
So I joined Slimming World to help me achieve my personal goals and then looked at what I could do to fill in the gaps of time that I had spent with my daughter.
At the time I had (and still have) 2 lovely black labradors, Muppet & Twizzle and I have always been very keen on feeding them the right food to keep them healthy. he more I looked into products on the market for dogs I realised that there was a huge variety on quality.
As my own journey continued into getting myself healthy & losing weight I started to look into more details what Muppet & Twizz were eating including their treats.
I wanted to try to source all my products from people I could talk to direct wherever possible and in the UK and more importantly products not full of cheap ingredients instead using healthy top quality ingredients.
In the UK alone we have a large number of obese pets yet as owners we still want to give them treats so I have sourced healthy, low calorie options to allow pets to still have treats just as I have done whilst on Slimming World.
2 years on from starting Distinctive Pets I have lost a total of 8 stone to date and it has changed my life!!
As part of Distinctive Pets growing we are looking at reducing our carbon footprint using local and UK products and looking at how they are packaged - wherever possible using natural, renewable and recyclable.
