On establishing Just Dogs, our client had a clear vision on how the business should look and operate. The business was born out of a desire to provide dog owners the opportunity to access quality and unique dog accessories and supplies in a physical store, where they can see, touch, and try out products before making a purchase. Just Dogs’ commitment to the doggy community extends beyond its well-stocked shelves. The store is a vibrant meeting spot for like-minded individuals, offering the chance to form connections, find dog walking companions, or even locate a trusted dog sitter.

The launch of the Just Dogs online shop in May 2007 saw the brand stretch its services beyond the borders of Edinburgh. The online platform carries the same depth of product information and the same commitment to customer service. What sets Just Dogs apart is not only the quality of products on offer, but also the expertise of its staff. Comprising qualified trainers, the team is well-equipped to provide competent advice regarding training, behaviour, and nutrition. The focus is on offering a personal, tailored service to customers, a value central to the business’s operation. Operated under management, the team at Just Dogs believes strongly in the power of positive training techniques, viewing this as a way to strengthen the bond between dog and owner.

Just Dogs is also a proud advocate of responsible dog ownership. Each practical product is accompanied by useful guidance, tips, and messages to emphasise the importance of looking after customers pets in the best possible manner. Moreover, Just Dogs’ commitment to the canine community extends to charitable giving. The company has a proud history of fundraising for various dog charities over the years.
