Every item is lovingly handcrafted, guaranteeing a unique touch while being eco-friendly. Your four-legged companion is sure to go mutts over our delightful woolly wonders, crafted with love and care for both pets and the planet.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Revive and Wag products allergy-free?

Wool has been recognised for its antiallergenic or hypoallergenic properties, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitivities. It creates an environment that is unwelcoming to dust mites, mould, and bacteria, all of which can trigger allergies. As the founder of Revive and Wag, I have personal experience with allergies and sensitivities, yet I work with wool daily without any adverse reactions. My sensitive West Highland White Terrier, Otis, also thrives around wool, showcasing its benefits for both humans and pets. This remarkable material not only promotes comfort but also contributes to a healthier living space.

How are your products eco-friendly?

The woollen blankets are recycled materials, we are giving them a new life as cuddle monsters for your pets. By repurposing single-use products, we not only provide comfort but also contribute positively to the environment. Wool, being biodegradable, does not add to the growing problem of micro plastic pollution in our oceans or land. When these blankets reach the end of their life, they break down naturally, acting as a fertiliser that gradually returns valuable nutrients and carbon to the soil. You can purchase our products with confidence, knowing that they are not only beneficial for your furry friends but also a responsible choice for our planet.

Where do you get your woollen blankets?

At our organisation, we take pride in sourcing blankets from various places, including friends, family, op-shops, marketplace listings, and garage sales. Our mission is to find those special blankets that have been well-loved but are no longer suitable for their original purpose. Each blanket tells a story, and we believe in giving these beautiful pieces a second life. By rescuing them from being discarded, we not only honour their history but also promote sustainability and creativity.

Do you fill your products with wool?

Revive and Wag is committed to sustainability and the well-being of your pets by using only 100% wool to fill our products. Unlike most pet products that rely on polyester filling—derived from plastic and non-biodegradable—our choice of wool ensures a minimal environmental impact. Polyester can take hundreds of years to decompose, and when disposed of in landfills, it releases toxic materials that can leach into the soil, potentially contaminating local water sources. By prioritising wool, we not only provide a safe and natural option for your furry friends but also contribute to a healthier planet. At Revive and Wag, we believe that the best for your pet should also align with the best for the environment.

Are the Cuddle Monster one of a Kind?

Cuddle monsters are delightful and diverse companions, each one boasting its own unique charm. While they may share the same soft material, their faces, hairstyles, and stitching patterns vary greatly, making every cuddle monster a one-of-a-kind creation. Some are lovingly hand-sewn, while others benefit from machine stitching, adding to their individuality. The hair on each cuddle monster is crafted by hand, ensuring that no two are alike. When you choose a cuddle monster, you’re not just acquiring a pet toy; you’re welcoming a special friend that has been made for your furry companion, reflecting its own character and story. Each cuddle monster promises warmth, comfort, and a unique bond that is truly unmatched.

Who created Revive and Wag?

My name is Annie, and I have a background in interior design and craft. I have always loved making and creating things. When Otis, my Westie, came into my life with skin problems, I realized that the existing products on the market were irritating both his skin and mine. This realization inspired me to create something special for him, leading to the birth of the Cuddle Monster. Each Cuddle Monster I craft is unique—a one-of-a-kind creation that reflects my passion for what I do. Knowing that my creations bring joy to others is immensely fulfilling, and that is what fuels my creativity. Making these cuddle companions not only helps Otis but also allows me to express my love for crafting and design in a meaningful way.
