Part of the reason why we love Bulldog is how its evolved over the years. The move to a more ethical brand has been wonderful to watch. And certainly not something we anticipated – a bulldog evokes a less empathetic, all-encompassing image. It shouldn’t but it does.
And if you like Bulldog, you’re sure to like Rockface – for the adventurer and Harry’s for premium quality.
What else do we love about Bulldog?
It has recently setup a recycling scheme to try to minimise their impact on the environment. The scheme allows you to send all white Bulldog tubes back to them in the post.
Bulldog claim ‘the best bit about the scheme is that it’s carbon neutral – the gas released during recycling process is captured and used to power the process’
We also love the fact it has never used plastic microbeads, synthetic fragrances or artificial colours.
