About Us

Trail & Tail was born from two lifelong passions — the great outdoors and the animals we share it with.

Our founder spent 17 years working in the animal health sector and a lifetime as an athlete, adventurer, and lover of the South African outdoors. Whether on the trail, the bike, or at the campsite, the connection between active living and caring for our animals has always felt natural — and Trail & Tail is the store that brings those worlds together.

We exist for the hikers, bikers, trikers, and pet owners who don't see the outdoors and animal care as separate things. They're part of the same life — and we're here to equip you for all of it.

From gear that keeps you moving to products that keep your animals healthy and happy, everything at Trail & Tail is chosen with purpose, passion, and real-world experience behind it.

We started this store with a simple idea — to combine a love for the outdoors, hiking, biking, and pets into one exciting online shopping experience.

Based in the beautiful coastal town of Dwarskersbos on the West Coast, we’re surrounded by incredible beaches, hiking trails, cycling routes, and a lifestyle built around adventure and nature. Living here inspires our passion for the outdoors and for finding products that make exploring easier, safer, and more enjoyable for both people and their pets.

Our goal is to offer carefully selected hiking gear, biking accessories, and cool pet products that outdoor lovers can genuinely enjoy and trust. We’re passionate about finding products that are practical, durable, fun, and designed for active lifestyles.

As a growing online store, we’re committed to friendly service, honest communication, and creating a shopping experience that feels personal and trustworthy.

Whether you’re planning your next trail run, mountain bike ride, beach day, or outdoor getaway with your pet, we hope our products help you create more memorable adventures together.

Thank you for visiting and supporting our journey from Dwarskersbos — we’re excited to grow alongside our community of outdoor and pet-loving customers.

Adventure more. Care better. Live fully.
