Behind the Brand: About A Dog

Based in Sydney, About A Dog is a small toilet roll producer founded in 2021 by childhood best friends, Dom Chetcuti and Jaz Tierney. With a combined background in toilet paper manufacturing and marketing, Dom and Jaz set out with the mission of building a brand that could support Australian causes and communities. 

If you’re wondering what inspired the name ‘About A Dog’, it comes from the classic English saying ‘To see a man about a dog’ often used when someone pops to the toilet. What started as an inside joke between Dom and Jaz at work, soon became the whole identity of the brand!

An Australian brand with a big heart, here’s all the reasons why we love About A Dog – and why you will too!

• All recycled toilet paper, tissue boxes and paper towels are manufactured locally in Sydney. 
• By manufacturing in Australia, About A Dog provides local jobs and offers enhanced quality control of their products.

Supports Aussie causes

• By partnering with RSPCA NSW, About A Dog donates 50% of all profits to support sick, injured or abandoned pets and wildlife.  
• As the brand grows, their goal is to partner with RSPCA branches around Australia.

Sustainable at every step
