The Story of Two Rescue Pets, and the Promise They Inspired
It all started in 2016, in a Bristol garden flat, with our founder Mia Carter and two rescue pets who changed her life: Charlie, a long-waiting Samoyed, and Mabel, an brown tabby Domestic Shorthair kitten
Grieving and adrift after leaving a draining corporate career, Mia found home and healing in her two furry companions. But she quickly found UK pet products were either unsafe, flimsy, or unaffordable for everyday families.
Driven by love for Charlie and Mabel, she handcrafted safe, durable products with non-toxic, GOTS-certified materials, shared them with local pet parents, and founded PETNOME in 2017. Our promise was simple: make pet products we’d be proud to give our own family.
Nearly 10 years on, that promise still stands. We test every product on our own rescue pets first, partner only with UK ethical manufacturers, ban harmful chemicals with rigorous safety checks, and keep prices fair for every pet parent.
We give back too: every product sold donates a meal to a UK shelter animal, with over 12,000 meals donated to date.
We’re not just a pet brand—we’re a community of people who know our cats and dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family. That unconditional love is what we exist to honour, every single day.
Our signature product
At PETNOME, we believe every pet deserves products that blend comfort, safety, and timeless style—while making pet parents’ lives simpler
Our design philosophy starts with listening: to the way a dog curls into a bed, the way a cat tests a scratch post’s stability, and the way you reach for a leash in a hurry.
Quality isn’t a buzzword for us—it’s a promise. We source materials that meet global safety standards: Oeko-Tex®-certified fabrics free of harsh chemicals, BPA-free plastics, and durable metals that withstand even the most enthusiastic chewers.
For us, PETNOME is simple: better design, better quality, better care—for pets, and for you.
