About us
The most stylish destination for sun and water essentials for dogs
Sandy Snoots was created out of love for our dog Bailey, a gorgeous Poodle x Bichon Frise who loves catching waves on the Gold Coast!
Just like people, dogs are at risk when exposed to harmful sun rays. Bailey would often get sunburnt after even a short time at the beach, and with no real sun protection options on the market for dogs, we decided to design our own UPF 50+ dog rashies to keep him safe.
We’re proud that our dog rashies carry the ARPANSA Sun Protection Certification Trade Mark, which is an Australian government trademark used to identify sun protective products. This level of independent certification is what sets Sandy Snoots apart — we’re serious about sun protection!
Sandy Snoots is committed to raising awareness of skin cancer in dogs and promoting the importance of a #sunsafesnoots beach culture. This includes sharing #sunsafesnoot tips and stories from our Sun Safety Ambassadors — inspirational snoots who have been affected by skin cancer. We also aim to promote sun safety more broadly throughout the community by sharing sun protection recommendations from the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology and the Cancer Council.
We’re a proud Australian business with strong brand values of supporting Australian manufacturing and continuously pursuing sustainable practices. We also give back as a Guardian of the Surf, a special kind of donor to the Surf Life Saving Foundation. We pledge an ongoing amount every month to the foundation to help protect beachgoers around Australia!
An adventure of a lifetime
We have loved every moment of creating our Sandy Snoots world and can't wait for your dog to hit the beach in one of our signature designs. From humble beginnings on a beach in sunny Queensland, Sandy Snoots has grown from a simple idea into a collection curated with love and colour. We hope it brightens your day as much as it does ours.
