Why Sandy Snoots
Welcome to our paradise
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.
Australian Made for the Australian sun
At Sandy Snoots, we’re serious about sun protection for dogs. That’s why our dog rashies and bucket hats proudly carry the ARPANSA Sun Protection Certification Trade Mark—the official Australian government mark that identifies genuine sun-protective products.
Independent certification like this is rare in pet products, and it’s one of the key things that sets us apart. We’re here to protect every snoot under the sun!
When you choose Sandy Snoots, you’re not just getting quality products—you’re joining a community that cares about sun safety, supports Aussie makers, and puts pups first.
Championing a #sunsafesnoots culture
We’re on a mission to raise awareness of skin cancer in dogs and promote a #sunsafesnoots beach culture. Too often, dog owners only discover the need for sun protection after their pup has experienced sunburn or even skin cancer. That’s why we’re passionate about early education and prevention.
Proudly Australian Made
We're proud that all Sandy Snoots products are made on Australian shores and carry the iconic Australian Made logo, the true mark of Aussie authenticity. It means you can be sure you’re buying authentic, premium quality dog products that originate from our clean, green environment and that are made to last.
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 proudly 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
We've 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.
Inspired by sun-soaked days in 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.
