A Journey of Passion and Purpose - My Dog My Life

Helen Rushton • May 07, 2024

Why I Started Love Phodography and Love Dog Co.

When I started Love Phodography and Love Dog Co, it wasn't just about business. It was about a passion for dogs and a commitment to their health and happiness. This is my story and why I believe in building a community of like-minded dog owners who share this vision.


A Love for Dogs

I have to admit, I came to the world of dogs later in life, oh boy how much did I miss out on in my early years not having a furball by my side. From the moment I brought home my first puppy, I knew there was something special about the bond between humans and dogs. They give us unconditional love (as long as you have food!), loyalty, and companionship. In return, I wanted to ensure that I gave them the best life possible. A life where I learnt to understand and work with his needs as much as i can, learning from him and from pet specialists to ensure that his natural instincts are nurtured and respected.


The Birth of Love Phodography

As I spent more time with my dog, I realised that capturing their unique personalities through photography brought me immense joy. I loved seeing the expressions, the playfulness, and the way they interacted with the world. It wasn't long before I decided to use this passion and diversify my photography business and Love Phodography was born.


Love Phodography is about more than just taking photos—it's about telling a story. I wanted to create a space where dog owners could celebrate their pets and keep memories that would last a lifetime and where dogs can relax and enjoy the time without any pressure to perform or behave. Each photoshoot is a unique opportunity to capture the essence of a dog and the special bond with their owners.

The Inspiration Behind Love Dog Co

While working on Love Phodography, I noticed that many dog products on the market weren't as healthy or eco-friendly as they could be. As someone who cares deeply about the environment and my dogs' well-being, I felt compelled to make a change. This led to the creation of Love Dog Co, a company focused on providing eco-friendly dog treats, toys, and grooming products.


Love Dog Co is built on the belief that we can reduce our use of plastic as dog owners by making small simple changes. We buy in bulk from responsible suppliers (most of our products are shipped totally plastic free!) and package into Compostable pouches (even the little window is made from corn starch!) so you can treat your dog whilst being kind to the planet too! Our toys and grooming products are made with sustainability in mind, reducing our environmental footprint and minimising plastic wherever possible


The need to help others

Both Love Phodography and Love Dog Co are driven by a desire to connect with other dog lovers who prioritise their dogs' health and happiness.


Being a dog parent isn't always easy and there's a myriad of information out there that tells you what to do without telling you why you're doing it and often forgets to prioritise your dog's welfare and natural instincts Through our bucket list activities and social media, I aim to create a community where we can share tips, stories, and experiences so that you and your dog can pick and choose what will help THEM life the life they deserve!


I believe that by coming together, we can make a difference in our dogs' lives. Whether it's through fun activities, health-conscious products, or simply sharing the joy that dogs bring, my goal is to inspire others to give their dogs the best life possible.... I'm delighted to introduce "The Ultimate Dog Bucket List - Pawsitive Adventures"

Mash, my miniature dachshund, has brought so much to my life, he's my fur baby, my best buddy and my loyal companion - and he's a right little monster (but if you're also a dachshund owner you'll know that already!)
