About us

We're Anna, Tom and our dog Angus, a team of three, based in Ancoats Manchester.

Everything starts with our dog Angus. Dog Forbid began with us creating collars and leads for him and his friends and has turned into something we never could have expected. He watches over us from his bed in the studio, waiting patiently for tea time.

At our core we're designers and creatives, but we're also weekend adventurers and most importantly dog lovers - which to be frank, we think is the most important of all! We share a vision for Dog Forbid as a quality, design-led brand that creates ethical dogwear for any adventure, and we're so grateful to be supported by our fantastic collective of brand reps and ambassadors.

All our products are designed, crafted and packaged by hand in our small studio in Ancoats.
