From small beginnings in our garage to a global business, Peanut And Pickle has grown to be a family of all.

Peanut & Pickle was founded off the back of our very own bulldogs… Peanut & Pickle! Being a Bulldog breed that is prone to skin conditions, we set out on a mission to develop the leading plant based grooming products which are not only great for dogs but also gentle on our environment. 

Our products are carefully researched and developed with the assistance of top professional experts from the industry. As a result, we have sourced the most superior natural ingredients available on the market because we believe that your dog's skin deserves nothing but the best. We also know that when you chuck the word sustainable in front of something the cost goes up so it was also our mission to create something that didn't break the bank. Our company’s aim was to be able to create effective products that still are cost effective.

At the beginning of each project the team sits around to brainstorm ideas. We work very closely with a local fragrance house to design our signature fragrances to ensure that they are not only safe for dogs but also smell amazing! We use a blend of synthetic & essential oils. This is to allow us to get a full bodied fragrance whilst keeping the allergens relatively low if not allergen free.

We then start work on developing the formula. We get an idea of the goal that we want to achieve and then start building the formula around that. Some formulas can be very tricky to formulate. Some shampoos can get so thick due to the botanicals & fragrance that they can’t be squeezed out the bottles! It's a very delicate process which takes roughly 6-8 weeks to complete.

Once our formula is ready we then put it on 2 different tests. A challenge test to ensure that the product will remain free from harmful bacteria and another to test its shelf life & how the product’s appearance remains. Some shampoos that contain orange oil tend to turn green or even red depending on the amount of surfactants used. Products that contain vanilla likely turn brown after a couple weeks of being on the shelf! It's important for us to know these things as we can predict & warn customers prior that some color changing madness can occur. 

Finally our product goes into production. It is made by one of the team in our workshop located in Cheshire, UK. Each product is then filled and labeled ready to be dispatched to one lucky pooch. The whole process from start to finish is very hands on and we pride ourselves on our quality of ingredients & production. Every product that goes out our doors has been made with love & pride.
