When "Made in the USA" Isn't USA Made
“I won’t feed any pet food with ingredients from China.” That’s a quote often echoed by pet parents in one form or another.

Is Boz the new Bow Wowzer Ball?
The Bow Wowzer ball from West Paw Design was a favorite of pet parents for close to a decade. It was one of our best selling toys until it was discontinued four years ago. Since then, we’ve continued to get inquiries about it from across the country and even overseas. So I was surprised to learn […]
