About Us
Hello, I’m Dawn – founder, creator, and the hands behind the Lazy Dog Company.
This little business began thanks to one very cheeky lockdown puppy named Toby… affectionately known as Velcro man in our home. Every possible smell, bit of mud, and crumb seems magnetically drawn to him no matter how often I wash things.
Like most dog owners, I tried every blanket and throw under the sun, but even after washing, they seemed to hold onto every smell and adventure Toby had brought home. Not to mention the endless pieces of bone that remained embedded in the fabric! Knowing that he preferred the comfort of my duvet, I sought to buy him his own. But after endless searching, I couldn’t find the right fit or feel anywhere, so I made one myself. Toby adored it instantly. Then friends began to ask me to make one for their dogs… and then their friends… and their friends… and before long, I was sewing duvets in every size, and so the Lazy Dog Company was born.
Based in the heart of Wiltshire, I work from home in my spare room, stitching each duvet with Toby supervising – sometimes bouncing around with excitement, sometimes watching closely, and sometimes sleeping on the job. Due to my eyesight, traditional markets weren’t an option, so I built this brand from home, one duvet at a time, guided by my little Velcro-covered quality control expert.
My ethos is simple.
If it works for my curious, messy, lovable four-legged friend, it’ll work for yours too. Most people think that they don’t need a dog duvet – until they see how their dog curls into it like it’s their own personal security blanket.
Every Lazy Dog duvet is handmade, easy to clean, durable, and designed for pups who love to explore, play, shed, drool, make a mess, and deserve their own special spot to rest afterwards. Many dogs even take them on holidays, in the car, in their strollers, or to the vets because it feels familiar, comforting, and truly theirs. Making it the travel friendly go-to option for every pup, whether they’re excitable or anxious.
All duvet designs are named after our four-legged friends. If you’d like your dogs name considered for a future collection, just mention it in the order notes – I love celebrating the dogs who inspire this journey.
Thank you for supporting a small business built from love, necessity, and one very sweet supervisor. From my home to yours, may your dog always feel cosy, safe, and thoroughly spoilt.
With love,
Dawn & Toby
