Furbubba

Welcome to Furbubba.

At Furbubba, we are having fun designing innovative solutions for dog and cat parents, testing products on our own fur-family and sourcing production partners who meet strict environmental, ethical and community standards (that’s been the hardest bit!)

Along the way we realised there is a lot of support for human parenting but not as much support available for pet parenting. So, we are curating some great content and connecting like-minded fur-parents via our blog and social media communities.

But that’s not all. let’s face it, the best thing about dogs and cats is that they bring a whole lot of joy into the world. Who can resist a cute furry puppy or a LOL cat? So we wanted to create a place where we could have some fun and share amazing stories.

ECO-CONSCIOUS PET PRODUCTS
We are proud to be developing premium quality products that are eco-friendly. However, it is not just about the environment, we want our products to be the best for your pet and for you as a pet parent, as well as the planet.

Our product development approach is to start with input from our pet parenting community, researching their needs and understanding what makes the best product for that category. We then seek the best production partners globally that meet our sustainability and social responsibility requirements. That’s what makes our products an eco-conscious choice. We aim to balance the environment and the community impact of our production choices, including working with partners who commit to a modern slavery policy.

SUPPORTING NEPALESE WOMEN
We partner with a fair trade certified, female-founded producer in Nepal that supports regional Nepalese women to create beautiful hand-made felt products. All of which use non-toxic dyes and pure New Zealand wool. Felt is not only sustainably sourced and biodegradable but through our testing, it was the best product to balance comfort and durability whilst standing up to the demands of your pets, including cat claws!

COMPOSTABLE DOG POOP BAGS
Recognising that there were a lot of biodegradable plastic dog waste bag solutions on the market, that actually leave micro-plastics in the ecosystem, our research led us to produce a compostable dog poop bag with a high specification that met the needs of our pet parent community.

Furbubba dog poop bags are designed by pet parents, for pet parents. They told us they wanted a leakproof solution with handles and that they hated when they could see their dog’s business through the thin plastic! So, we made our poop bags the highest microns on the market – and better than biodegradable, they are certified compostable according to global standards.

DURABLE DOG BEDS, DESIGNED TO LAST
After undertaking our own research amongst Australian pet parents, we were shocked to discover that on average, they were throwing away one dog bed each year.

With approximately 6.3 million dogs in Australia, living on average for 12 years, we estimated a whopping 37.8 million dog beds will go to landfill over the life of those dogs. Sadly, this environmental impact is one of the biggest problems with our pooches’ beds.

This insight led us to develop an innovative new dog bed solution – you can find out more about it on our website: shop.furbubba.com

We are also busy working on a range of sustainable dog toys and other great accessories for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes.

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Where possible we pledge to use recycled materials rather than virgin materials. We aim to minimise mixed materials, to enable easier recycling. And ensure our packaging follows these same standards.

Our commitment is to move away from the fast fashion mindset of the pet industry that has led to a disposable deluge of cheap pet products. We are proud to bring premium quality and durability to the industry.

Examples of Furbubba’s sustainability commitment can be found in our product certifications including…
• Faux fur which is GRS Certified (Global Recycle Standard by Control Union / Textile Exchange)
• Organic Cotton which is GOTs Certified (Global Organic Textile Standards)
• Natural latex foam mattresses sourced from renewable rubber foundations (Certified by Eco Institut and ACT IFOAM Accredited)
• Cork Leather replacing animal leather
• Recycled and recyclable FSC cardboard (Forest Stewardship Council)
• Pure New Zealand wool
