About Us

Hey! I’m Sam and welcome to Fetch & Thrive!

I have been lucky to be a part of Guide Dogs for over 15 years where I have worked as a puppy development advisor. I’ve seen firsthand how important enrichment is for dogs, whether they’re puppies, working dogs, or family pets. Finding the right enrichment really helps your dog to thrive, relax and settle, especially if they have demanding jobs or are just in need of some down time after a busy day.

I started Fetch & Thrive because I’m passionate about canine wellbeing and want to make it easier for owners to find tried-and-tested enrichment toys that genuinely benefit their dogs. We are not just a dog toy store but also a go-to online resource if you want to know why your puppy has started barking or what can you do if your dog is fearful of fireworks. I work closely with trusted professionals to ensure everything we share is science-based and we refer to the latest research to back up what is best for your dog.

As a small UK-based business, my goal is to help you make informed choices about the right enrichment so that your dog can live their best life with you. Whether you’re looking for ways to keep your bright border collie mentally challenged, or help your older Labrador get some much needed sniffing at home whilst they recover from surgery, I’m here to help.

In my spare time you will find me taking slow ambling walks with my 14 year old pug, or attempting to navigate the Kent countryside on my horse. During the week I can usually be found coaching amazing volunteers with their guide dog pups in training, or running my own private puppy classes in between some much needed coffee breaks to recharge!

Join us to help your dog fetch, thrive, and flourish together!
