Brand Tone

A blend of caring and approachable, with a fun, modern twist on social media, underpinned by a promise of quality and value on their website.

Brand Values

• •Pet Well-being and Happiness
• •Quality and Durability
• •Customer Service & Community
• •Value for Money
• •Giving Back
• •Australian Owned

Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience, Mate: Always write with the Australian pet owner in mind. Use relatable scenarios, a friendly tone, and occasionally, a touch of Aussie slang where appropriate (but don't overdo it). Think about what matters to them – their pet's happiness, practical solutions, and good value.
• •Emphasise Care & Well-being: Every piece of copy should, directly or indirectly, tie back to the core value of enhancing pet well-being, comfort, and happiness. Highlight how products solve problems or make pets' lives better.
• •Balance Fun with Trust: While social media can be lighthearted and humorous, ensure website copy, product descriptions, and customer service interactions also convey trustworthiness, quality, and reliability. Acknowledge and address concerns professionally if they arise, especially given the mixed online perceptions.
• •Be Benefit-Driven and Clear: Focus on what the customer and their pet will gain from the product. Use clear, concise language, especially for product features and benefits. Highlight value propositions like "wholesale prices" and "free shipping" prominently.
• •Stay Consistent Across Platforms (with Nuance): While the core tone (caring, friendly, value-oriented) should be consistent, adapt the *style* for each platform. TikTok can be more informal and trend-driven, while email and website copy might be slightly more detailed and reassuring, though still friendly. Create a simple style guide with key phrases and "do/don't" examples for all team members creating content.

Social Perception

Positive: Customers appreciate the wide product range, prices, and convenience. The social media engagement, particularly on TikTok, suggests a fun and relatable brand image that resonates with many pet owners. They are perceived as a brand that cares about pet comfort and solutions to common pet owner problems (e.g., car mess, anxiety). Mixed/Negative: The "low trust score" from Scam Detector is a significant concern and indicates potential issues with trustworthiness or online business practices that customers might encounter. Variable customer feedback and some negative product reviews (e.g., on Amazon for specific items) suggest that not all customers have a positive experience, with some citing functionality issues. Overall: While the brand projects a positive and caring image, especially through its engaging social media and stated values, the low trust score from one platform and mixed reviews warrant caution for potential customers. The brand is actively trying to build a positive community online.
