It's time to change the world of pet food for good

WHO ARE WE?
Hi, we're Tails.com.
A pet food subscription company with a big mission. We believe there should be no average dog food because no dog is average. So we deliver 100% tailored nutrition to each and every dog we serve.
It all starts with a few simple questions about your dog’s age, breed, activity level and flavour preferences. Then our experts create a one-in-a-million kibble blend – just for them. Everything they need and a taste they love, delivered to your door every month. It’s pretty clever stuff.
We’re cooking up big plans. Having created an entirely new category in pet food, we’re scaling fast in the UK and backed by Purina, one of the world’s largest pet food companies.
In 2024, we became B Corp certified. But it's more than a badge, it's how we operate. Every member of our team is committed to upholding high social and environmental standards, to create a better world for dogs - and humans - for generations to come.

OUR VALUES
At Tails.com, our values are not just words, they’re how we show up as a pack.
They guide how we work together, how we delight our customers and how we continue to innovate.

PACK INSTINCT
What does it mean?
We're a pack. That means there's no room for egos. Just a relentless, shared drive and joy in the chase. We don't shy away from feedback - and we never miss a chance to celebrate wins.
How do we do it?
Trust deeply - knowing we achieve more together.
Challenge with kindness - focus on growth, not judgement.
Champion respect - embrace openness and diverse perspectives.

BOLD CURIOSITY
What does it mean?
We set pace: fast when it matters, thoughtful when it counts. Data, experience and sharp judgement guide our choices, knowing every answer is inside Tails.com. We embrace smart risks and learn from every move we make.
How do we do it?
Take a leap - seek new perspectives to unlock original ideas.
Stay nimble - mix insight and instinct to make decisions at the right speed.
Commit bravely - use failure as feedback to learn, adapt and keep moving.

PURPOSEFUL RESULTS
What does it mean?
We put customers at the heart of every decision, solving real needs with care, insight and ambition. Purpose drives our priorities and ownership fuels our success. Pragmatism is our friend - we commit, deliver and finish strong.
How do we do it?
Own it - be accountable to drive change.
Zero in - spend your energy on what matters most.
Move forward - choose meaningful progress over perfection.

MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AIDERS
We understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and having someone to chat to can really make a difference. That’s why we wholeheartedly support the role of Mental Health First Aiders. Whether you work in one of our offices or remotely, none of our pack members should have to face challenges alone, there’s always a lending ear when it’s needed.

PEOPLE PETS & PLANET
We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk. As a B Corp, we meet the highest social and environmental standards, going beyond business as usual to change the world of pet food for good.
Each year we’ll publish our impact report which will give you an insight into how we are embodying B Corp throughout our business. From maintaining a top-notch 92% customer satisfaction score, to continuing our 100% renewable energy use and supporting StreetVet with over £49,000 in donations, this report truly showcases the heart and hard work of every single member of the Pack.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
At Tails.com, we believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to building a workplace where people feel valued and inspired to do their best work. We’re intentional about creating space for different voices and perspectives, because we know that’s how innovation and collaboration happen.
Our commitment goes beyond words and we proudly practice inclusive hiring to ensure fair opportunities for all, as well as celebrating the richness of our team through a calendar of events, cultural celebrations, and acknowledgements that honour different backgrounds. By making sure everyone feels seen and supported, we create a place where people can be their true selves and show up proudly.
