Our Story

We’re three friends who’ve shared plenty of weekend barbecues over the years. All our products come from countless hours of tweaking and testing, and we’re always working on new flavours and recipes.

We realised there wasn’t a versatile range of spices and rubs that could quickly boost the flavour of any meal.

Big Dog Spices was born to make it easy to add great taste to everything—from slow-cooked brisket to spaghetti bolognaise. We cater to experienced home cooks and those who usually reach for the jar sauce but want to do better.

Whether you’re firing up the BBQ or whipping up a weeknight dinner, we’re the secret weapon that takes your meals from good to legendary.

Where It Began

A few beers definitely helped spark the idea. One Saturday at a barbecue, we were chatting about how we’d lost the time to experiment with new flavours like we used to. We started thinking about where we could find spices and rubs that suited all three of us—each with different cooking skills and styles.

What we found was a big gap in the market: intimidating BBQ brands with their black gloves, and those tiny overpriced jars at the supermarket that just don’t deliver.

We wanted something different—versatile, easy-to-use rubs that work for everyone. And that’s how Big Dog Spices was born.
