Our Values

Customer Led

We put dogs and their owners at the heart of every decision, exceeding their expectations again and again.

TEAM SPIRITED

We respect each other enough to be open. We are committed enough to go the extra mile. We celebrate together as a team.

Game Changing

We're here to change the way people feed their dogs forever, by always looking for new, different and better.

Nimble

We are adaptable and value simplicity over complexity to achieve great quickly rather than perfect slowly.

Making Every Day Count

Being a dog owner at tails

Four reasons it’s great to be a dog owner at tails.com

You’ve got your best friend at work with you
Free tailor-made food, of course
Colleagues who love having them around and who help out
You have the best riverside and parkland walks at your doorstep

Office Culture

The team is what I love most about working at tails.com! Seeing the calibre of the people involved, I knew something clever must be happening... It's great to work in a place where you can go for a beer with anyone in the business, have a laugh and get your brain stretched at the same time.

Caroline Curtis, Supply Chain Manager

Show me the bacon

A fully stocked kitchen is one of the perks of working at tails.com, but on Friday we take it further with bacon for breakfast and a few drinks at the end of the day to finish off the week.

Things move pretty fast, but no one can ever say it’s not exciting.. To paraphrase Sheryl Sandberg: ... If someone offers you a seat on a rocket ship, you don't ask what seat, you get on - especially if there's a puppy already in it!

Alan Cruickshank, Business Insights and Data Manager

INNOVATIVE

We are highly motivated by the innovative force behind our business and we are the first in the industry to operate the way we do, the systems we have pioneered are at the forefront of the industry.

Life at the Factory

CUSTOM TECH AND ENGINEERING

Operationally we have developed a system that is the first of its kind. Everything from the algorithms we use to find the right blend of kibble, to our production chain, has been custom-made in-house.

Every single member of the team has left a tangible mark on the operations, from the way we do things to the equipment we have in place.

Jessie Cowie, Head of Food, Technical and Process Improvement

Diverse Team

We have a broad range of skills and experience at the factory - people from banking, cosmetics, the military, agriculture, food manufacturing, automation, IT, cinema, product design and even jungle conservationists.

After Work

Celebrations

We like to celebrate both individual and company milestones together. From the “Kibble Olympics” to “The tails.com Bake Off” - cake and festivities are never far off.

Team tails.com

Being a team doesn’t end at the office - we love hitting the pub quizzes, putting our knowledge to the test on much more than dog food.

THE ALLBARKS

Our Touch Rugby team gives us the chance to blow off a bit of steam at the end of a long day. With as much dedication to practice matches as to vital re-hydration at the pub afterwards.

Technology

Technology is at the core of everything we do. We build intelligent, scalable systems to handle every step of the process, from this lovingly-crafted website through to the order fulfilment systems that run our blending facility and everything in between.

I love working in a team that cares passionately about technology. The variety and complexity of the problems I get to tackle are what gets me up in the morning.
