Our Zippy Story
How it all started.
ZippyPaws began with my dog, JJ – a goofy, golden-hearted Golden Retriever who made life a lot more fun. Back in 2011, I started the company with my dad Benny out of his garage with one simple idea: to create toys that captured JJ’s joyful spirit. We wanted to create toys that were playful yet durable, made for modern pets and the people who love them.
Meet The Owners
Founder-led. Family Values.
As a father-daughter ownership team, ZippyPaws has deeply rooted family values. We’ve built a brand built on a foundation of quality, playfulness, and integrity. Jen runs the day-to-day and product design, while Benny oversees the sourcing and manufacturing.
We’ve proudly stayed self-funded since day one. That means we call the shots, we cultivate a tight-knit team, and we keep our customers and community front and center. Every toy you purchase supports our small yet mighty team of dog and cat lovers.
Made With Care
You're a great dog parent and your dog deserves the best toys.
Gone are the days of generic toys.
Every ZippyPaws toy is designed in-house, hand-drawn since 2011, and tested by our team of four-legged interns.
A Pack That Sticks Together
Building a loyal community.
ZippyPaws isn’t just about toys – it’s about connection. We love showing up at local dog-friendly events, connecting with pet parents, and supporting local animal rescues. It’s our way of building community while making tails wag right close to home.
We love your stories, your photos, and your squeaky unboxings. Every tail wag means the world to us. So if you have feedback, we’d love to hear from you!
We Couldn't Have Done This Without You
We Love Our Pack.
Every time your pup squeaks a ZippyPaws toy, you’re supporting a family-owned company that started with a love for dogs – and has stayed true to it. Your trust and support mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful to be a part of your dog’s happy moments.
We hope you love ZippyPaws products as much as we love dreaming them up for your pets!
