A Problem We Couldn't Ignore

Our founder Maya adopted a rescue pup named Oliver. She searched high and low for a bed that was both beautifully designed and genuinely comfortable — but everything was either ugly, overpriced, or poorly made.

That frustration sparked an idea. What if pet products were designed with the same care and craftsmanship as the things we buy for ourselves?

Designed with Purpose

Maya quit her design job, emptied her savings, and spent months traveling to meet artisans, testing materials, and prototyping. Nine months later, Paws & Co. was born — with three products and a lot of determination.

Every item in our collection is tested by real pets, approved by real vets, and crafted by skilled artisans who care about the details.

A Growing Family

From three products to over 450, we've grown into a community of thousands of happy pets and their humans. Our materials are chosen not just for durability, but for safety — no toxic dyes, no cheap plastics, no shortcuts.

From the thread count of our bed covers to the food-grade ceramic of our bowls, every decision starts with the same question: "Would I trust this with Oliver?"

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

These four principles guide every product we design, every partnership we form, and every interaction we have.

🐾

Pet-First Design

Every product starts with a real animal's needs — comfort, safety, and joy. If it doesn't work for them, it doesn't ship.

🌿

Sustainable Materials

We prioritize organic cotton, recycled packaging, natural rubber, and ethically sourced materials. The planet matters as much as the pet.

🤝

Community First

We donate 5% of every purchase to local animal shelters and rescue organizations. When your pet thrives, so does the community.
