Sustaining Resources – through long-term optimization of our goods and services. We continue to re-evaluate our business consumerism practices in hopes we can continue to lessen our environmental impact and reduce the consumption of resources. BARK uses sustainable products and packaging and collaborates with businesses that actively support similar sustainability and environmental initiatives. 

​

Honouring + Applying Cultural values – BARK cares for the health of the land for not just our generation, but future generations of dogs and their human companions. BARK understands the intrinsic connection between our animals and the natural environment we live in, and we are committed to strengthening our connection with our natural world. BARK considers education to be the foundation of progress – in every element of our lives. By educating dog owners about safe and responsible pet ownership in the backcountry, BARK cultivates a culture of critical thinking, self-reliance and a deeper understanding of our impact in the natural world. 

​

BARK’s creator, Céline, has participated in numerous Indigenous-led dog care and management programs in First Nations communities throughout western Canada. BARK recognizes the animal care and welfare approaches are unique to each community, and deeply respect the distinctive spiritual relationship Aboriginal peoples have with their animals.

Community stewardship at work – BARK founder Céline has committed to planting 5 trees in British Columbia for every BARK kit sold. Simply by purchasing BARK kits, you are helping contribute to a movement that helps restore our forests!

Continue educating ourselves + striving for more – on our existing and emerging knowledge of land stewardship. We are committed to reaching our future sustainability goals!
