Bug & Bun was never just about smelling nice
Our mission is simple: To reimagine pet care as a sensory, stylish, and safe experience—where home fragrance and dog fragrance live in harmony.
Because you shouldn’t have to choose between having a dog and having a beautiful space. With Bug & Bun, you can have both.
Whether it's a spritz before brunch, removing the smellies between washes, or a spa date with your dog, we're all about creating a new ritual—one that honours the bond between dogs and their people by ensuring they smell as good as they feel.
THE FRAGRANCE RANGES
WHO ARE WE?
A luxury fragrance brand for dogs (and their humans) that blends perfumery with purpose. Made for scent-lovers, cuddle-seekers, and dogs who deserve more than ‘wet dog’ energy.

WHY WE EXIST — OUR STORY
STINKY WET DOG SMELLS
THE PROBLEM
Ever settled in for a cuddle on the couch with your canine bestie, only to be met with that all-too-familiar doggie smell?
Or those damp, wintery days when the scent of wet fur seems to linger in every room?
You’ve poured time and love into making your home feel like a sanctuary—but it doesn't smell like one.
Dog-Friendly Fragrances
THE SOLUTION
And the “solutions” on the market? Odour-masking. Overseas-formulated. Safe for dogs?
There was a clear gap: where were the natural, dog-safe fragrances that smelt worthy of wearing yourself?
Safe fragrances would actually remove dog odour whilst revolutionising your home environment with layered scenting?
12 months To Formulate
THE RESULT
Having an in-house perfumer means every Bug & Bun fragrance is 100% unique, created from scratch, and never white-labelled or replicated.
Each formula is crafted and manufactured by hand in our studio—giving us full creative control from the first drop to the final bottle.
The result? Fragrances that are original, layered, and made with love for hounds and the homes they live in.
As seen in
The Proof Is in the Perfume.
Creating a fragrance for dogs—and the people who adore them—wasn’t as simple as mixing a few essential oils and base ingredients.
With APVMA-assessed formulations, ticks of approval from vets and groomers, and vigorous testing by humans (with very good noses), the result?
Natural, premium, dog-safe fragrances that feel as elevated as your favourite perfume—just made for everyday life with dogs.

Bug The Pug
Tiny in size but mighty in spirit, Bug takes her job very seriously. Every fragrance must pass her highly touted sniff test before hitting the shelves. If it’s not Bug-approved, it’s back to the lab.
Known for her zoomies, cuddles, and endless curiosity, Bug is the ultimate double act—heart-meltingly sweet in public and a chaotic tornado behind closed doors.
And her favourite stolen treasures? Her mummies' silk eye masks and unattended lip balms.
