Changing the world of pet food for good

We’re tails.com, a dog food subscription company with a big difference. We create truly tailored food for every dog we serve based on their individual characteristics and preferences. So they get exactly the nutrition they need, in the taste they love, delivered to your door every month. It’s clever stuff.

We’ve got ambitious plans. We’ve created an entirely new category in pet food and we’re scaling fast in the UK and Europe. We’re backed by Purina, one of the world’s largest pet food companies. You’ll join a bunch of smart people working towards the same goals, and a bunch of smart-ish dogs, all working on their own thing. 

Together, we’ll change the world of pet food for good.

The role: listen, solve, care

Our whole business is built around phenomenal service, so listening closely, solving problems, and making decisions that show our customers (and their dogs) just how much we care is a core part of this role. 

We’re empathetic, curious, and love talking about all things dogs. We’re at the heart of the company and make sure we’re keeping true to our purpose – to improve the lives of dogs and their owners.
