Meet the Tilly's Team

Fuelled by a passion for raw feeding

I've always loved animals. Pocket money was spent on wildlife books; days out with my parents were spent asking for a new pet (I never did get that chipmunk or chinchilla I desperately wanted). I did, however, grow up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and mice. Lucy, my cat, and Suzi, the family dog, were my best friends as a child.

For some reason, I didn’t work with animals initially. I did a degree in psychology and then worked as a teacher.

Needing to get out of that profession, in 2015 I started a dog walking company, Tails n Whiskers. Wanting to develop my understanding of dogs, I completed courses and attended seminars on canine behaviour. I even started a masters in Animal Welfare and Behaviour (I stopped when I had a chance to open a shop). Tails n Whiskers is still going strong but is now run by my husband (Tilly’s delivery driver!).

When Tilly, my collie, started having seizures in 2019, my focus switched from dog behaviour to dog nutrition. Seeing the benefits of a raw, chemical free lifestyle in my own dogs, I wanted to give other dogs these opportunities and Tilly’s Treat Cupboard was born.

I’ve since become certified in raw dog food nutrition, certified in pet nutrition, have a diploma in canine nutrigenomics and I am currently studying a course in canine nutrition. I’m quite obsessed with reading research papers, articles and books on dog nutrition.

I will continue to learn everything I can to help everyone’s dogs lead a natural, healthy life.

After over 25 years working with teenagers, I decided I wanted a change and less stress in my life. I had shopped at Tilly’s for many years and know that their values and passion for animals matched mine.

When an opportunity came along for me to work with them, I jumped at it. I love meeting all the dogs and owners that come into the shop and helping them get the best for their pet.

As well as working for Tilly’s I am also building my Art business. I love drawing animals and pets. I also have Chester and Eddie, my two Vizslas, who keep me busy, and I love the treat I bring home now.

I’m Teegan, and I absolutely love animals - I have two dogs and two cats who mean the world to me. Working with animals is something I’m really passionate about, I always want to make sure every animal is safe and healthy.

I’ve always been fascinated by languages too, and I love learning to speak different ones and discovering new cultures along the way.

Hi I'm Dave, a professional Dog Walker who loves his job. After I’ve done my dog walks, I miraculously turn into Tilly’s deliver driver!

After seeing the benefits from our own dogs being fed raw and having no chemicals, I volunteered to be Tilly’s driver to support the shop and help it succeed so more dogs can be helped.
