It Started With One Dog: The Story Behind Oak & Paw Co.

It Started With One Dog: The Story Behind Oak & Paw Co.

Made in North Carolina. Inspired by one rescue dog. Created for pets everywhere.

When Triton came into our lives, we quickly realized he needed a little extra help finding his calm. New situations, changes in routine, travel, and other everyday stressors could be difficult for him, and we wanted to find something that could become part of his regular routine.

What started as a search for something to help our own dog eventually turned into Oak & Paw Co.

It Started With Triton

Like a lot of pet owners, we wanted to know exactly what we were giving our dog. We cared about the ingredients, the quality, and whether it was something we would actually feel comfortable using regularly.

The more we learned, the more we realized we wanted to create the kind of products we had been looking for ourselves.

That became the foundation for Oak & Paw: simple products, clear information, quality ingredients, and an easier way for pet owners to add calming support to their dog's routine.

Triton is the reason we started, and he continues to be a big part of why we do what we do.

What We Do

Oak & Paw Co. is a women-owned pet wellness company based in North Carolina. We create hemp-derived wellness products for dogs, with a focus on everyday calm and making pet wellness easier to understand.

Our Calm Bites are an easy option to add to your dog's daily routine, while our Calm Drops give pet owners another way to provide calming support.

We also believe you should be able to know what you're giving your pet. Our products are third-party lab tested, and we make our lab results available so pet owners can see them for themselves.

No complicated language. No guesswork. Just products we would be comfortable giving our own pets.

Proudly North Carolina Crafted

North Carolina is home for Oak & Paw, and we're proud to build our company here.

We're a small, women-owned business, and being able to create a brand that reflects where we're from and what matters to us has been important from the beginning.

Our products are made in the USA and North Carolina crafted, and we're proud to be part of the growing community of small businesses here in our home state.

Giving Back to Pets Who Need It

Because Oak & Paw started with a rescue dog, supporting rescue animals has always felt like a natural part of what we do.

We know how much bringing Triton home changed our lives, and we want Oak & Paw to be a brand that gives something back to the animals and organizations that give dogs like him a second chance.

As we grow, so does our ability to support the rescue community that means so much to us.

This Is Just the Beginning

Oak & Paw started with Triton, but it has grown into something much bigger than one dog.

We're here for the pet owners who read the ingredient labels, ask questions, want to know what's in the products they're buying, and are always looking for ways to make life a little better for their pets.

We're still a growing North Carolina business, and we're excited to share more about our products, what we're learning, the rescues we support, and everyday ways to help our pets live happier, healthier lives.

Thanks for being here and for being part of Oak & Paw.
