Company mission

Toutou is here to make it safe and easy for you to find your dream puppy. We're building the platform that connects you to trusted breeders so you can buy your puppy (and also browse through puppy pics, because we know this is 50% of the fun).

Our take

The demand for puppies is higher than ever. However, this has bought with it thousands of fraudulent pet websites with the sole purpose of selling dogs which do not exist. Today, 1 in 4 people get scammed when buying a puppy.

Toutou are setting out to help tackle this problem. The company's platform connects people to reputable breeders who have all been vetted, and upholds strict Breeding Standards. As well as this, Toutou ensures breeders health test the parents of puppies and also hold all the paperwork in one place.

Toutou are bringing ease, safety and transparency to the process of buying a puppy. They are early stage and currently in their Beta period. The company is backed by two experienced female founders, with experience working at Monzo, Cazoo and in cyber security.
