West Paw

West Paw is once again proud to sponsor the 3rd Annual Sweet Pea Dog Parade, held at the start of Bozeman's annual Sweet Pea Parade and Sweet Pea Festival! Join us Saturday, August 3rd - the Dog Parade begins at 9:30am, following the Sweet Pea Run and Children’s Run, and in front of the main Sweet Pea Parade! Sponsored by West Paw and Bridger Veterinary Specialists, proceeds from the Sweet Pea Dog Parade benefit Wag Kind, a facet of Outside Kind, a One Montana initiative founded to share best practices, principles, and tips for enjoying the outdoors in any community. Entry fee is $10 for one dog, $15 for two, or $25 for three or more dogs. Register in advance or on-site at the parade!

Our Sales, Customer Experience, Marketing, and Product Innovation teams ventured to the B Bar Ranch outside of Big Timber, Montana, to meet one of our regenerative ranching suppliers for our new Montana Beef Sticks. Our team learned about and experienced what it means to be a regenerative ranch, providing healthy pastures and wildlife habitats, while also working to sequester carbon and fight climate change. Regenerative ranching is about ethical agriculture...and perfectly aligns with West Paw's vision and purpose! Visit https://lnkd.in/g-aDgPVE to learn more about our regenerative ranching partnerships, as we work to source the highest quality ingredients to make the best (and most nutritious) treats your dog will ever eat! Our partners receive their regenerative validation through the Western Sustainability Exchange!

We had a Wag-Tastic time at the first-ever West Paw WagFest on Saturday at the Anderson Dog Park inside Gallatin County Regional Park in Bozeman, Montana! Everyone enjoyed great weather, product giveaways, wonderful vendors, and tons of tail wags! Nearly 30 dogs jumped off the dock in our Dock Diving competition and others showcased their tricks in the Pet Tricks contest! Thank you to Owenhouse Ace Hardware, Bridger Animal Nutrition, Last Best Place Brewing Company, Trails and Tails Dog School, Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter, and Stafford Animal Shelter for coming out to promote all things dog! Special thanks to our West Paw team members and family members who volunteered their time to help run a wonderful community event! All proceeds went to support Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman and STAFFORD ANIMAL SHELTER in Livingston!

We're excited to be hosting the West Paw WagFest tomorrow in our hometown of Bozeman, Montana! It will be a fun day to celebrate all things dog, including dock diving, pet tricks, raffles for West Paw products, and tons of fun for families and their dogs! Many of our team members and their families will be volunteering to help ensure it's a great day! If you're in the Bozeman area, stop by the Anderson Dog Park at the Gallatin County Regional Park from 10:00-2:00! We are also proud that this event helps support our wonderful animal-related community non-profits! All proceeds from the event (registration fees for your dog to compete, raffle tickets) will benefit our local animal shelters, Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman and Stafford Animal Shelter in Livingston.

West Paw welcomed U.S. Senator Jon Tester to our office on Monday! We shared the story of our new Montana Beef Stick product, sourced from Montana regenerative ranches and processed in state using nutrient-rich organs that typically go to waste. He also got to see the changes we've been making in our facility to increase production capacity of our infinitely-recyclable plastic injection molded toys and learn about our Seaflex product, which contains 12% reclaimed and recycled ocean-bound plastics. Montana-based manufacturers need the support of all our elected officials to ensure that all stakeholders--businesses, our employees, and the community--can succeed and thrive in the place we're all proud to call home! #westpawus #madeintheusa #bozemanmt #madeinmontana #dogsbestfriend #manufacturing #montanamanufacturing #certifiedbcorp

Between rain (and snow) storms and even though it looks like 4th winter outside (Montana has multiple winters), our amazing team members Kathy and Holly took some time this morning to plant flowers in the beds outside our building! Once the sun comes out (after all, summer officially starts in two days!), these flowers will really make our office pop! We're constantly warmed (especially on a day like today) by our team, taking pride in their work and their workplace, but always doing things selflessly so that others can also love where they work! And yes, our early 90's company Chevy truck continues to deliver for us! #westpawus #madeintheusa #certifiedbcorp #people

Today, we celebrated one of our OG's and sent her off into retirement! Jackie has been with West Paw for 26 years (we've only been around for 28!), starting with us when we were based in our original hometown of Livingston, Montana, and we only made sewn cat and dog toys. Jackie can sew ANYTHING and was responsible for many of our sewn product innovations over the years. She always brought a "We Can Do It" attitude to work and helped train nearly all of our sewn goods team members on how to cut fabric, sew using our machines, and make products that we could all be proud of! We couldn't be happier for you, Jackie, and we wish you well as you begin your next great adventure! Thank you for 26 wonderful years! #westpaw #dogsbestfriend #madeintheusa #bozemanmt

We had a great time hosting part of Southwest Montana Manufacturing Partnership - SMMP's Manufacturing Day Camp last Friday as the Bozeman Public Schools had the day off! Campers got to tour West Paw's offices and manufacturing facility, learn about injection molding, and hear about the great career opportunities one can have working in manufacturing! #MontanaJobs #ManufacturingJobs #westpaw #dogsbestfriend
