PEOPLE & PLANET

We have only just begun our journey and while we are still so new to the market, we feel it’s incredibly important to acknowledge our social responsibilities as a brand and set guidelines from the very beginning to lead our team and suppliers into operating respectfully and admirably.

Our founder of HDC lives by the motto " be the change you want to see in the world" so early on the whole HDC team came together to establish what our key commitments & responsibilities are as an Australian small business. 

FOUR key areas that HDC operates on

We understand and acknowledge that our brand will continue to evolve and we with use these 5 key areas to help guide us into the right direction. We’re excited about our path ahead and would love nothing more than for you to also join us on this journey. 

BRANDING

Ensure we’re always an all-inclusive brand by including all breeds, ages, sizes in our campaigns. All dogs deserve to be in the spotlight. This is an absolute non-negotiable for us.

Partnering up with foundations that help saving dogs from the streets or bad situations. Helping to not only provide financial donations each year but also a social donation by educating our team and customer base about the endlessly inspiring work they do for their communities and dogs. 

PRODUCT FORMULAS 

Continuing to ensure all testing and trials are performed extensively with traceable data and evidence to ensure our products are perfect for you and your pup. "Quality is our priority" HDC founder 

Our K9 Grooming range is completely NATURAL so no parabens and sulphates . This will never change for HDC as it’s vitally important for us to ensure our product formulas are completely natural and beneficial for your dogs skin. we have a saying at HDC " If its not good enough for me, its not good enough for my dog"

All HDC products will be packaged in eco-friendly alternatives where possible to minimize the usage of plastic. Guaranteeing we will strive to  maintain a lighter footprint on our environment. All balms are in our Tin screw top jars so please ensure you recycle or reuse them. Our K9 Treats pouches are 100% biodegradable NO MORE PLASTIC. All shipping packaging is cardboard and kraft paper to ensure HDC avoid plastic shipping pouches and plastic fillings like bubble wrap. 

ACKNOWLEDGING OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND WE OPERATE ON

HDC acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land we operate on 'The Dharug People' and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and everyday.
