The story of ZippyPaws...

where it began

The story of ZippyPaws starts with a love story between a girl and her dog. Co-founder and Vice President, Jen Glaser started ZippyPaws in 2011. Inspired by her Golden Retriever JJ, she recognized a need for dog toys that were both safe and aesthetically pleasing. The toys were an embodiment of everything JJ was: playful, colorful and full of fun! Now - after a decade - ZippyPaws is heralded as a titan in the pet industry.

Why choose ZippyPaws?

designed by animal people

From a dog friendly office to birthday parties for our fur babies, we don’t just love our pets. We think of them as our family. It’s how we are able to put such care and devotion into the creation of our toys. They’re designed not only with lifestyle in mind, but to be the highest quality and safest on the market. ZippyPaws’ own cats and dogs are our first line of quality assurance. If it’s not good enough for our own, it’s not good enough for yours.

Together - through beautifully designed products and a community devoted to giving their pets the best life has to offer - we promise to cultivate curiosity, harness innovation and keep tails wagging. All without costing an arm and a paw.
