Our Story
Father and son duo Michael and Gary created PawZ Rubber Dog Boots to keep your dog healthy, protect paws from injury and keep your house clean. The boots, made of durable natural rubber, provide a strong barrier between the dog’s paws and potentially dangerous substances such as harmful chemicals, hot pavement and bacteria.
The boots are the brainchild of Gary, who enjoys taking his Jack Russell Terrier, Huckleberry, for walks in the city. He tried a number of boots to protect his dog’s paws from hazards such as salt and chemicals but kept running into a problem: he couldn’t keep the boots on Huckleberry’s paws. Somehow, they’d manage to slip off and frequently be lost. Losing one boot meant buying an entire new set of four, an expensive proposition. Frustrated, Gary drew on his creative background and set to work designing dog boots that would stay on Huckleberry’s feet. His initial efforts progressed into a carefully engineered design, one that would hold up on the sidewalks of New York City.
Gary’s son, Michael, just so happened to be looking around for a new business venture when he learned about the excitement his father’s new boots were creating. He understood the need for the boots, having first-hand knowledge of the peril to paws that awaits on busy urban streets and roads. Gary and Michael decided to turn the boots into a business and in 2005, they started PawZ, with Gary as primary designer and Michael as primary marketer.
“It’s a “feel-good” business,” Michael explains, adding, “Our customers love the product and it solves a serious problem. I see people smile when I walk down the street with a dog wearing brightly colored boots—it makes everyone’s day.”
