Our Story

We're Rover Pet Products - an Aussie company based in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. We are family owned and operated and committed to being a leader in the pet industry. We started in 2015 with the TuffMat! as our original product after seeking a durable solution at a big box chain...only to find our Springer Spaniel Lulu flipped over the bed and went through the cheaper fabric on the underside whilst we went to get some McDonalds!

Where it started...

Back in 2015 we started in our garage at home, believe it or not! Josh had 20 years textile experience and was a professional sewer with a machine, so he designed the very first TuffMat! and Bryan said - "Hey I could sell these!". Starting at local markets, then an online store - and then stockists...it blew up from there.

Bryan & Josh, the co-founders, would stay up until 2-3am cutting and sewing dog beds. It was a crazy time all around! We had large delivery trucks coming almost daily which was wild for our suburban street.

And then...

We outgrew the garage (and the rest of the home) after a year and moved into our first factory in Rutherford, NSW. Within a few years we had outgrown that space and we moved to our current location which was 2.5x bigger and we thought we'd never need a bigger space...well we're now bursting at the seams!

Following the TuffMat! we expanded into the rest of our premium bedding options, all made here in Australia.

A few years in we stumbled across the Soda Pup range of products and we got in contact with them, and became their Aussie and NZ distributors! We love the brand and they share the same ethics and passions that we do for safe, locally made products.

How we do it...

We are a manufacturing and distribution business. We manufacture the majority of our products here in Rutherford, New South Wales.

We're a dedicated small team who are passionate about making the best products for our fur baby and yours. You're currently on our online store, and for locals we have a showroom attached to our Factory located at 2/148 Racecourse Road Rutherford NSW.

True blue style...

We have stockists across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and more - we're approaching 30 countries stocking our unique products.

We're true blue proud Aussie manufacturers. We make our orthopedic beds the TuffMat!, PlushMat! and PlushMat! Plus and our calming dog beds, the Kloud9 and Kloud9 Teddy here at our factory. It's why we love posting behind the scenes content, because there's really no other companies that make locally now - but close to a hundred that claim too!

We went viral!

Early on, our bedding started to attract attention - and our first piece of media was the today show with Dr Katrina Warren. This moment on national TV really got things moving for us. We were just a teeny tiny business and we were amazed at the support we received from the public!

We revolutionised collars!

We launched our Get Home Safe Collars & Leads in 2017. Our collars & leads are fully personalised, being machine embroidered with dog's name, owner's phone number and other additional info as required, helping dogs Get Home Safe.

We grew our team...

This is the team that makes all of your products, packs them and writes your thank you notes. Natalie, Bryan Josh, Kim, Tammy and our fur baby, the boss, Lulu!

Josh...

Josh is one of our co-founders and head of production here at Rover Pet Products. He's responsible for the famous PlushMat! & TuffMat! bedding ranges and our Aussie Made ID Collars! Josh holds over 25 years of textile experience, is a keen sewer and product designer!

Bryan...

Bryan is our second co-founder and holds responsibility for managing the many aspects of Rover Pet Products. Bryan has a Business Degree and an MBA specialising in International Business from The University of Newcastle. Bryan is passionate about changing the lives of dogs the world over.

Why we do it...

We manufacture our beds from start to finish. We don't cut corners! They're our designs, they're true and tested and we are proud to handmade our products here in Australia. Almost every company that claims Australian made has their covers made in Asia and puts a filling inside (often also not Australian). We don't. We do everything here ensuring quality control and safety - we guarantee our products are 100% non-toxic.

We're also the Australian & NZ distributor for SodaPup tough toys - which are the best available chew and interactive toys on the planet! They're all 100% made in the USA - and all of the chew toys come with a 30 Day Replacement Guarantee!

More about our products!

We source as many materials as we can locally and our focus on providing quality, long term dog beds is what drives us to continually
innovate. We are the first and only company in Australia to have a 5-year non-sag guarantee.

Quality Manufacturing Locally

Rover Pet Products manufactures all bedding on Australian soil. We manufacture locally in the Hunter Valley NSW and are extremely proud to support the local economy.

Having manufacturing close to our hearts, we are able to ensure the quality of our products. This is one of our core values, ensuring that with every TuffMat!, PlushMat! and PlushMat! Plus we send out, we would be proud enough to give to our dog, Lulu.

Why SodaPup?

SodaPup is an American partner that shares many of the same values as we do. They are committed to quality manufacturing in the USA, the use of non-toxic natural latex and designing quality, long-lasting products.

Cleaning

Our ranges are easy to clean! With the PlushMat!, simply remove the machine washable cover and wash on a normal cycle in your washing
machine.

With your TuffMat!, if your TuffMat! is just dusty then simply hang it on the clothes line and hose off both sides, leaving it on the line to dry out. If your TuffMat! is covered with dry mud then a light scrub with some washing liquid will assist removing the mud, then simply follow the steps above.
