Who We Are
Our Mission
At Tail & Tribe, our mission is simple: To bring joy, comfort, and wellness to South African pets — one thoughtfully curated box at a time. We're here to help pet parents care better, spoil smarter, and feel proud knowing every purchase supports local makers. Because pets aren't just animals — they're family. And they deserve the very best, delivered with love.
Meet Our Tribe: Linkin & Lola
Say hello to Linkin and Lola, the furry heart and soul behind Tail & Tribe! These two superstar pups are our official Quality Maintenance Supervisors, ensuring every box meets their high standards before it reaches your door.
-
Linkin is our vigilant taste-tester extraordinaire. He sample-tastes every treat (sometimes twice!), checks toy durability, and approves wellness products with a wag of his tail.
-
Lola is the expert unboxer and sniffer-in-chief. She specializes in sniff-testing for freshness and “paw-tographic” moments—ensuring every product is Instagram-worthy.
Together, they embody our playful, thoughtful approach—if our pups love it, we know your pets will too!
Our Values
At Tail & Tribe, everything we do is rooted in love — for pets, for people, and for our shared planet. These are the values that guide our journey:
💚 Pets First, Always
Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are at the heart of every decision we make. From the treats we choose to the toys we test — we put pets first.
Wellness with Purpose
Each box is more than a treat — it’s a step toward better health, deeper bonding, and joyful moments between pets and their people.
Community, Always
We're building more than a shop — we're building a tribe of pet parents who care. When you shop with us, you're joining a community that celebrates every wagging tail.
Local Matters
We proudly support South African makers and small businesses wherever possible. Sourcing local helps us build a stronger pet community — right here at home.
Kind to the Planet
We use recyclable, low-waste packaging and continually look for ways to improve our sustainability — because caring for pets includes caring for their future world.
Community over Competition
We're here to build a tribe — not just a business. From celebrating adoption stories to sharing your pet's birthday, we celebrate connection, kindness, and belonging.
