Nature & Nuzzle is a brand rooted in quiet commerce and defined by two words: simple|kind.
It began as a reaction to the increasingly frustrating experience of shopping online – dysfunctional websites that seemed dedicated to harassing customers into spending money before they’d even had a chance to browse!
As friends for over 30 years, with a wealth of common values as well as an irreverent sense of humor and deep love for our many pets, it seemed a natural next step to create the slightly off-beat business that we’d like to shop from: thoughtfully designed goods for people and their pets, featuring original art, with a clean presentation and peaceful shopping experience, each product created uniquely for the person ordering it.
We aspire to spark joy, be kind to our planet, and give back where we can. Learn more about our founding principles below.
As a small women-owned business, we’re excited to bring you products that look great, do what they are supposed to, and support the environment. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do, and that every interaction you have with us brings a smile, including our emails :-)
We are still learning and genuinely welcome feedback – please help us to keep improving! We want your experience with Nature & Nuzzle to be engaging, straightforward, and fun, and not at all annoying!
We embrace this philosophy across all we do, including the original art on everything we sell. Our collections capture different elements of nature – simple designs inspired by the world around us, printed on practical products that help you be kind to yourself, kind to your pets, and kind to the planet that sustains us.
We prioritize organic, recycled, or sustainable materials, and products that encourage eco-friendly behavior, sourced from suppliers who share our values. We understand sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and are committed to improving our environmental impact with each step.
We drastically reduce waste and avoid the ecological footprint of mass-produced inventory that might never find a home by ensuring that every product we sell is printed to order, just for the person buying it.
In addition, every time you buy something from us, we give you the opportunity – at no cost to yourself – to donate 5% to some of the world’s leading non-profits. These micro-donations are made possible by Inspired: 100% of the financial gifts are pre-funded by corporate donor sponsors and The Inspired Foundation.
Thank you so much for embracing our small business and helping to write the next chapter of Nature & Nuzzle. We can’t wait to hear from you – and if you feel like sharing, we always love to see photos of our products in their natural habitat :-)
In honor of all the cats, dogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, and other small beasties who have brought joy and silliness to our lives over the years, including...
