Led by a pack of dedicated professionals
At Four Bare Paws, our team is led by a pack of dedicated professionals with wagging tails, muddy paws, and endless enthusiasm. From product testing to quality control (mostly sniff tests).
Our Team
Pippa – Head of Play & Product Testing
A chocolate working cocker spaniel Full of energy and always on the move, Pippa brings excitement to everything she does. Known for her zoomies and love of adventure, she ensures our beds can handle anything from muddy paws to post-playtime flops.
Pippa also has a softer side. The fact that she’ll happily curl up on her sherpa bed for a rest is a true testament to its comfort! She tests every fabric for softness and insists on the perfect balance of fluff and support.
When she’s not testing beds, you’ll often find her pulling every toy out of her toy box and proudly showing off her ever-growing collection.
Our Team
Mabel – Head of Comfort & Durability
Mabel is a black working cocker spaniel who takes her naps seriously. From foam to plush padding, she’s our go-to expert for all things snuggle-worthy. Every new bed design goes through her rigorous testing process a few naps, a chew or two, and the occasional enthusiastic dig.
If it can survive Mabel, it can survive anything.
When she’s not hard at work, you’ll find her sneaking off for a good dig, napping in the sun, or keeping a close eye on the humans.
Our Team
Coco – Snooze Officer
Coco is chocolate Labrador who is calm, composed, and highly selective about his snooze spots. As the oldest and largest of the pack, he has the final say on which beds are truly worthy of his nap approval.
Coco doesn’t like to share, and his favourite beds better be up to scratch. If he curls up on it and stays, it’s officially a Four Bare Paws-approved bed. His serene, dignified approach to comfort ensures that every product meets the highest standards for relaxation.
Our Team
Chester - Head of Fun & Bed Acrobatics
Chester is a red fox Labrador who knows how to make bed-testing fun. He loves a good frisbee and believes every bed is better after a few rolls and zoomies.
Whether it’s stretching out for a nap, rolling around for maximum fluff exposure, or chasing toys across the living room, Chester ensures our beds are as durable as they are comfortable and guarantees they’re fun to use!
Our Team
Dottie - Fun Supervisor
Dottie is a bubble of energy with a nose for treats and a love of endless belly scratches.
While she shares some of Mable and Pippa’s playful spirit, she also takes on the role of supervisor keeping a watchful eye on the younger pups’ antics and making sure all playtime and nap-time are running smoothly.
Dottie’s experience and enthusiasm make her an invaluable member of the team.
She ensures every bed meets her standards for comfort, durability, and fun, and she’s always ready to reward hard work with a treat.
Our Team
The Humans
We’re the ones behind the scenes, sketching new designs, testing materials, packing your orders with care, and making sure the treat jar never runs empty. From selecting fabrics that feel just right to double-checking every stitch, we put our hearts into every detail. But as much as we love what we do, we know who the real bosses are.
Our four-legged colleagues keep us grounded (and occasionally distracted) while ensuring every product meets the Four Bare Paws Standard: tough enough for play, cosy enough for naps, and truly loved by our dogs and pets alike.
We’re a family-run team that believes comfort starts with care and at Four Bare Paws, it always starts (and ends) with them.
