Welcome to the Introduction to K9 Nation. What is K9 Nation all about, you may well ask. Well in today’s blog we wanted to focus on just that very question.
In the beginning…
Way back in September 2017 Becky Baker, our founder, was inspired to create the K9 Nation community when she got her 8 week old puppy, Buddy the Cockapoo. Feeling overwhelmed and frankly a bit lost she was constantly looking for information relating to caring for Buddy and how to incorporate him into her busy life, and there just wasn’t anything out there for her to easily access.
So the idea for K9 Nation was born and Becky set about building the very first version of the website and app in her spare time.
Fast forward almost three years and K9 Nation is now made up of a team of avid dog lovers, and professionals, who share Becky’s passion and vision for what K9 Nation stands for.

Our Mission
K9 Nation is built on the love for all dogs and a belief they are, indisputably, members of our families. We are the best free and easily accessible social network and directory for dog related services, dedicated to supporting new and existing dog owners in caring for their dogs.
Created by dog owners for dog owners, the team is creating your K9 Nation and is setting out to provide impartial and transparent advice, all in one digital location. Your K9 Nation will be full of information on various topics of interest to enable every member to make informed choices for their dog’s wellbeing as well as their own.
Our Values
- Dog Lovers – we love dogs and treat them as part of the family.
- Responsible – we believe in responsible dog ownership.
- Community Driven – our community is inclusive and accessible for all.
- Trust – we aim to be transparent and honest.
- Wellbeing – our focus is on enhancing the wellbeing of both owners and their dogs.
So what will I be able to do on K9 Nation?
We are currently busy improving the K9 Nation app to make it better than ever. We can’t wait to share some of the amazing features we are building but rest assured, you will be able to connect with other dog owners, share tips and advice and discover a whole world of resources and information that helps you and your dog live your best lives.
What does the future hold for K9 Nation?
We have such an exciting list of things we can’t wait to build within the K9 Nation community and the best part is that we want to do this together with our members. It’s really important to us that our community members feel they have a voice and can help us shape the future of our K9 Nation together.
We hope that this introduction to K9 Nation was helpful. In the meantime, we have launched our K9 Clean-up campaign. We are inviting dog owners all over the country to take part in the clean-up to tackle the litter problem and also help raise money for our chosen charity Dogs Trust. You can simply pick up litter on one of your usual dog walking routes or go the extra mile and donate online via the K9 Nation website and receive a K9 Clean-up kit as a thank you from the team.
The main Clean-up event is taking place over the bank holiday weekend at the end of August (28-31st) but the hope is that dog owners will get involved throughout the month and share their selfies with the K9 Nation team online via social media with the hashtag #K9Cleanup.
If you’d like to take part simply register here for more information.
