They create modern interpretations of traditional apothecary formulas, blending trusted natural ingredients and advanced technologies to deliver simple skincare solutions suitable for all skin types. Ahead of January, when co-founders Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz will be joining our Autumn/Winter 2018 line-up, we ‘speak’ to their beloved rescue pup, Mr Greenberg, about the New York brand’s latest partnership with Battersea Dogs Home.

Lovely to meet you Mr Greenberg… would you say you’re a dog that loves fashion?
One might actually say I’m a ‘fashion hound’! In fact, I never leave the house without my posh fawn and peppered double layered coat.
Tell us a little about yourself…
Well this is a bit of Dickensian story. I was née Moose to a subsistence farming family from the State of Vermont. I spent my formative years herding cattle, ploughing fields and in the service as a hunting retriever. It was a tough life for a small dog. At three years of age, I couldn’t take it any longer, and made a dash from the farm. I ended up at the Vermont Green Mountain Pug Rescue, where I was quickly adopted by Andrew and Matthew. They christened me Mr. Greenberg, as “Ver Mont” is the bastardization for the French word for Green Mountain, and Berg is the German word for mountain – and since I’d now be a New Yorker….Mr Greenberg. And my biological mother was Jewish.
Have you ever been to London or are you a NYC dog through and through?
I’ve not been to London… yet. I’m not psychologically equipped for a quarantine, and Andrew and Matthew can’t seem to get their act together to get a chip inserted into my ever flowing neck roll. I hear how much they adore London and I’m fairly certain that I would too! From what I hear, there seems to be a lot more greenery in London than New York. I’m of course partial to that word; both literally and figuratively.

What are your plans for Christmas?
We spend Christmas up at our country house in the Hudson Valley. It’s a glorious part of the world. Andrew actually chopped down our Christmas tree by hand! Of course there is the traditional Christmas Goose, lots of family & friends, and of course plenty of wine! I like to get some Chinese take-away, it’s a way of honouring my Jewish heritage. And if I’m lucky we head off to the movies in the evening.
Tell us a bit about the Battersea Homes partnership? Do you have any friends there?
Malin + Goetz will be donating £1.66 from each bottle of their dog shampoo sold in the UK to Battersea Dogs Home. While I’ve never been south of the Thames, or north of the Thames for that matter, I have a very special bond with the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. I’m of course a product of a similar noble institution. If I was rescued by them, my name would probably Mr. La Mer de Battre. But, I digress – I don’t know anyone there, but metaphorically I know everyone there. And I know Andrew and Matthew are very fond indeed of all the work they do.
What’s your favourite Malin + Goetz product?
I’m not terribly egotistical, but I have to admit, seeing my silhouette on the Malin+Goetz Dog Shampoo does give me a special thrill. And my double layered coat and flowing neck rolls require the most luxurious of shampoos. So that’s my favourite, paws down. But now that it’s cold and snowing, I like it when my parents rub a little lip moisturizer on my crusty nose to soften it up. Although I’m a Pug, I don’t like to be pugnacious when I talk about my favourite Malin+Goetz products. I’d rather wish you all a Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
