West Paw is a leader in the design, manufacturing and sale of products to increase the connection between pets and their owners. West Paw is committed to our retailers and to manufacturing safe and innovative dog products. We strive to show our commitment through our excellent customer service and ethical business practices with every partner, large or small. We believe that you, our retailers, invest significant time and resources to do the same.
Since 1996, we have handcrafted our pet beds and toys in Montana. Made one at a time, our beds and fabric toys are high-quality, crafted with care—and infused with pride from the person who made it. We also emphasize environmentally-friendly manufacturing practices. To show our on-going commitment to sustainable business and manufacturing practices, we became a B Corp as well as a founding member of the Pet Sustainability Coalition.
The manner in which our products are advertised, promoted and sold is critical to maintaining and enhancing a premium brand image and to positioning these products appropriately. We need you, our valued retailers, to help us accomplish our brand goals. We are committed to enforcing the Policy and partnering only with retailers that share our strategy of promoting the West Paw brand in a manner that is consistent with our new Advertising Policy.
