Our Mission
At Rufus & Coco, we’re on a mission to help our furry friends live their best lives!
We know that better pet relationships make better humans and better humans make a better world.
So we’re here to deliver high-quality, innovative and eco-friendly pet products and experiences at a level of care commonly reserved for humans.
Because when pets live large, all of us do too.
Our Story
In 2008, Anneke van den Broek was on a mission. With a passion for animals that runs in her family, she set out to fill the gap in the pet care industry for a lifestyle brand offering innovative, eco-friendly products and experiences that are loved by pets and their humans.
The result was the launch of a business that has grown to become an internationally awarded range of natural high performance cat litter, grooming & cleaning products, vitamins, accessories, treats, toys and more.
Today, Rufus & Coco is proud to be a homegrown Australian brand that is loved by pets and people across North America, Singapore, New Zealand to name a few! In addition, we also operate Australia's premier dog and cat grooming salon, The Fur Salon by Rufus & Coco in 3 locations in Australia, Mosman, Balgowlah and Queens Park.
We’re using our voice to advocate for the rights of pets and their parents, and we truly believe that by helping pets live large, our business can make better connections between humans and pets for a better world.
Milestones
Our Values
Our Quality
We believe that pets deserve the world.
Our products where necessary have been registered by the APVMA (Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority).
The registration process is governed by Commonwealth legislation and undertaken according to accepted scientific principles and through rigorous independent analysis by several government agencies and the APVMA.
Each chemical product submitted to the APVMA for registration undergoes rigorous scientific assessment before it can be approved. In evaluating products, the APVMA takes full account of the nature of the product, the scientific quality of the data and comments from consultation with manufacturers, Commonwealth advisory agencies, State and Territory departments and other stakeholders, including the public.
All of our pet vitamins and grooming products are manufactured according to GMP.
Good Manufacturing Practice or GMP (also referred to as 'GMP' or 'current Good Manufacturing Practice') is a term that is recognised worldwide for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of foods and pharmaceutical products.
In most cases manufacturers of therapeutic goods must hold a licence. To obtain a licence to manufacture therapeutic goods, a manufacturer must demonstrate, during a factory audit, compliance with manufacturing principles which include codes of good manufacturing practice.
At Rufus & Coco we pride ourselves on being Australian, which is why our full range of pet nutraceuticals and grooming products are proudly made in Australia and display the Australian Made Logo. We are a wholly Australian owned company.
Responsibility
We believe that testing on animals is unethical and unnecessary, which is why we take pride in the fact that our products are ethically sourced and are more of a natural alternative.
