Why Sandy Snoots
Welcome to our paradise
Australian Made dogwear for life in the sun.
We believe dogs deserve genuine protection from the elements, exceptional quality and considered design.
Born on the beach and inspired by long summer days with our pup, Bailey, Sandy Snoots began after we discovered there was no independently certified sunwear available to protect him from harmful UV exposure. Like many Aussie dogs, Bailey loved the sun and surf, but too often came home sunburnt after even a short time at the beach.
Today, that same philosophy shapes everything we create — purposeful, beautifully considered dogwear made for sunny days, water adventures and life outdoors.
Designed for the Australian sun
In Australia, sun safety is a way of life — and for dogs, it’s just as important.
That’s why sun protection has always been at the heart of Sandy Snoots. Genuine protection has been part of our standard from the beginning, and today our rashies, bucket hats and caps are independently tested and rated UPF 50+ by ARPANSA.
It’s sun protection designed to help shield delicate skin from harmful UV exposure, while keeping dogs cool, comfortable and adventure-ready.
Because when we say sun protection, we believe it should mean something.
A #sunsafesnoots beach culture
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting dogs, yet the risks of sun exposure can easily be overlooked. Dogs with light-coloured coats, exposed skin or areas of sparse fur can be particularly vulnerable to harmful UV.
Through #sunsafesnoots, we want to make sun safety a more natural part of life with our dogs — raising awareness, encouraging thoughtful protection and helping more pups enjoy their favourite sunny days safely.
Proudly Australian Owned and Made
Quality is something we believe should be felt in every detail.
Working closely with Australian designers and makers, we create high-quality pieces that last — carefully considered from initial concept and fabric selection through to fit and functionality.
Producing locally allows us to work closely with the people who make our products, uphold exceptional standards and support skilled Australian design and manufacturing.
Guardians of the Surf
We give back as a Guardian of the Surf, a special kind of donor to the Surf Life Saving Foundation.
Our monthly donations help train new surf lifesavers, improve the skills of current volunteers and help replace equipment that is constantly exposed to the harsh Australian conditions.
Each year, surf lifesavers rescue more than 10,000 people from the water. It takes a community to save lives, and we're proud to be part of it.
Supporting workers with disability
Sandy Snoots microfibre towels are made in Australia by a combination of skilled and special needs workers. This means that with every beach towel purchase, you're helping to create jobs for people living with disabilities in the Melbourne community.
An adventure of a lifetime
Sandy Snoots is for dogs who live for summer, and the people who love them. We hope our collection brightens your day as much as it does ours.
From our beach to yours,
