Our founder, danielle
Huskimo was born on a farm in the South West of Western Australia. Big skies. Long mornings. A Golden Retriever named Biggles who lived fully — in the dam before breakfast, chasing kangaroos by mid-morning, back on the couch by afternoon with muddy paws and zero regrets. He needed gear that could keep up and for a long time, nothing could. What was out there was built for somewhere else — a milder climate, a gentler life, a dog that stayed mostly indoors. It was built to be replaced.
Fast fashion for dogs: thin materials, short seasons, gear that ended up in landfill before the year was out. And if your dog swam or lived outdoors the way Biggles did? Everything reeked. That particular smell — wet dog baked into fabric that never quite dries properly — became the thing every dog owner just accepted. We didn't. Select coats in our range use SilverClear® odour protection — non-toxic, antibacterial, and the reason your dog can swim in the dam on Saturday and still smell like nothing worse than fresh air by Sunday. So we built something that was different on every count.
Huskimo launched in 2014 — adventure-ready dog apparel and tethering, designed for the way Australians actually live with their dogs. On the trail. At the beach. In the dam. In the back of the ute. On the couch at the end of a long one.We've always believed that longevity is the ultimate sustainability. Gear that gets replaced every season ends up in landfill. Gear built properly doesn't. The greenest thing we can do is make gear built to go the distance.Biggles has since gone to heaven. He was a very good boy, and he left something behind that's outlasted every coat we ever bought him. The standard he set is still the one we design to.Now Gary — our ridiculously enthusiastic Golden Retriever puppy — is picking up where he left off. He's found the dam. We're fairly sure the kangaroos are next.
Made for Australia. Built to last.
