Our Story

Canis Major (incidentally, the big dog in the night sky) stands for quality, functionality and style.

All our products are carefully handcrafted and tailor-made in our small studio in Zurich. We only use high-quality materials that meet the different requirements of our versatile products to the maximum.

Local production in Zurich

Fair working conditions. As a customer, you know exactly who made your product. This means you have a direct contact person so that you can hold the product you want in your hands at the end.

Careful processing

We avoid waste by making each product individually to order and not keeping stocks. This allows us to take our customers' wishes into account and only produce what is actually sold. We use leftovers for smaller parts of our products or upcycle them into bags and pouches.

High-quality materials

We only use high-quality and durable materials from the professional sector. All textiles are OEKO-TEX certified and therefore completely free of harmful substances. We ensure that transport routes are as short as possible, which is why our materials come from Europe wherever possible.

What sets us apart

We at Canis Major are a small family business that we founded in August 2021. Sustainability is particularly important to us, which is why all of our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® certified and free of harmful substances. In addition, our products are 100% vegan, as we consciously avoid leather and animal materials and use high-quality artificial leather instead. Brigitte brings her expertise as an interior decorator to production, while Remy takes care of the creative design. Our poodles Louis and Giacomo inspire us every day and put our products through their paces.

Our Mission

We want to offer you and your furry friend only the best so that you can enjoy our products for as long as possible. That's why we select all of our materials very carefully. We use our expertise from years of experience in the interior decoration and upholstery sector. Our fabrics are all extremely robust, have very high abrasion and light fastness values, are flexible and easy to clean. The upholstery materials used in our dog beds will also accompany your dog for a lifetime.
