For your pet today,
and your child's pet tomorrow.

Choosing a Brooklyn is not only supporting local, it is supporting a better tomorrow.

 

Imagine a world without tennis ball chases, walks along Marina Bay, or adventures to the park with your furry friend. We care deeply about the planet and believe in doing our part to preserve our natural places for the next generation.

 

While competitors go for cheap, unsustainable options, we are doubling our efforts to prioritise quality, sustainability and accountability wherever we can.

 

Here is our action plan; a series of steps to follow now and into the future, ensuring a healthier tomorrow for people and their pets.

Donating and Repurposing
Returned your bed? Wasn’t the right size? We donate and repurpose our extra beds to the Saving Hope Foundation and Last Lamppost Dog Rescue to ensure a comfortable and safe home for all rescued pets.
Low Emission Shipping
When transporting our goods, we aim to use transport options with low emissions where possible.
Local Warehousing
Country by country, we’re opening up local warehouses to reduce the distance our products travel, while significantly reducing emissions at the same time.
Warehouse Recycling
As you can imagine, we go through a LOT of cardboard boxes. But with strict recycling processes in place, we fill up two gigantic recycling bins, full of cardboard, ready to be recycled, each and every week.
Cardboard packaging
Our Memory Foam range saw the release of Cardboard packaging. This removes the need for plastic mailer bags, in favour of reusable and recyclable materials. We plan to continue this transition (from plastic to cardboard packaging) across our entire product range in South East Asia over time.
Saving the trees by going digital
With over 40,000+ orders picked, packed and shipped, the paperwork for these orders alone, would have consumed 12 fully grown trees by now… Luckily we went digital right from the outset and only include what’s absolutely necessary inside your parcel. 11 trees saved in the process.
Squeeze it in…
To reduce our footprint we developed specifically sized packaging and mailers for all our products, preventing unnecessary wastage and emissions.

Ethics

  • Above Living Wage  - Our team is important to us, which is why Brooklyn staff are always paid above the living wage. This helps ensure a better tomorrow for our passionate team and helps their precious pets live a little more comfortably.
     

  • Honesty, Always - Sometimes we make mistakes, and when we do, we’re the first to own up to them. Our team embodies the principle of honesty no matter the circumstance.
     

  • Your Pet Matters - Your pet is not just an order number to us. Each and every order is treasured closely, and we try our best to ensure you feel our care for your pet. Occasionally we’ll get visits from your pets at our warehouse and it’s the highlight of our day!

While the above is great, there’s always more we can do, and in the effort of transparency,  we aren’t ready to throw up our hands and say ‘that’s all we’ve got’. These are the steps we are taking to continue our road to Zero.

  • Recyclable filling - We’re currently exploring options around recyclable fillings, to lower our carbon footprint even further. We’re determined to find a way where your pet’s comfort and saving the planet don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
     

  • More local warehouses - With the aim of reducing shipping times and our carbon footprint at the same time, we’re in the process of opening more local warehouses around the world, to reduce the trip some parcels take to reach our more remote customers.
     

  • Carbon offsetting - To give more than we take. We’re exploring options around carbon offsetting, and what our team can do to offset the carbon emissions from your order (at no extra cost to you).

 

This is just a snapshot of where we’re heading.

Want to do your part? Join us on the road to zero, with 3 simple lifestyle tricks you can start with tomorrow…

Ditch the plastic poop bags
Approximately, 500 million are used annually. Let’s change that. Opt for recyclable/compostable options.
Spot the rubbish
On your daily walk, pick up any litter you see along the way. Perfect for when your dog is sniffing in the bush (instead of walking). Even if it’s just 1 bag of trash per week, imagine how much cleaner your community will be.
Donate and Repurpose
Have a spare Brooklyn product you no longer use? We know 2 great charities and rescue operations who would love some new goodies. Get in touch, and we’ll find a home for it.
