About Fell Dog®

Fell Dog was born on a stormy day in the UK Lake District.

Our founder, Carolyn Harker, has spent over 20 plus years designing technical clothing for brands like Rab, Berghaus, Lowe Alpine to name but a few. A self-confessed kit nerd and lifelong lover of the outdoors, she’s worked with technical outdoor brands, honing the skills and expertise needed to build gear that performs in the toughest conditions.

But one day on the fells, the weather rolled in fast. Carolyn was well prepared, but her dog, Tilly, wasn’t. When is rains it rains in the Lake District. Tilly’s collar stayed wet for hours and soon stank. It was a simple realisation: dogs need adequate kit too.

That soggy moment sparked a design journey. Carolyn applied her technical know-how to the needs of dogs, developing gear that’s waterproof, breathable, quick-drying, stink-free, strength-tested and built for movement. Fell Dog was forged from experience, and from a belief that dogs deserve the same performance kit as we do.

Today, Fell Dog creates high-spec adventure gear for dogs who live for the trail, the fell, the bog, and the storm.
