🐾 our story

a little obsessed with good dogs

aristocatbd started with one muddy golden retriever, a chewed-up sofa, and a simple idea: dogs deserve better stuff. So we made a pet store run by dog people, for dog people.

the biscuit test

Every product meets Biscuit before it meets you. Most of them don't make it. So far: 214 tried, 120 made the shelf.

3 of the 6 above passed. The other 3 were returned to their makers with notes.

how we got here

    biscuit eats the sofa

    One muddy golden retriever, one very expensive sofa. Every “indestructible” toy we bought lasted about a day.

    the first box

    We started packing the few things that actually survived into boxes for friends, from a kitchen table in Islington.

    the biscuit test becomes official

    Nothing gets on the shelf until Biscuit (and friends) have chewed, tugged, napped on or licked it clean.

    a shop on bark lane

    A real door to walk through, a water bowl outside it, and a treat jar that empties every afternoon.

    Small, picky, and proud of it. If it's here, a dog we know loves it.

  1. dogs first, always

    Every product earns its spot by making a dog's day better. No filler, no fluff.

  2. if it breaks, we say so

    Vet-approved and safety-tested, and when something fails the Biscuit test we tell you why.
