The Rest of the Story
Paws By Kai
Hi, I'm Amanda — And This Is Kaiya
As a Miami native and new dog mom, Amanda worried about the safety of her puppy Kaiya walking around the city on hot pavement. From broken glass to dirt and germs, she knew she needed something to protect Kai's toe beans. After trying countless brands, she quickly realized there were no dog shoes on the market that use quality materials and fit perfectly without sacrificing style. Enter Paws By Kai.
Since starting the company, Amanda has helped hundreds of dog parents protect their dogs' paws, and the community keeps growing. The mission is clear: create high-quality, stylish, and durable dog shoes to fit small and big dogs alike and protect their paws from the dangers of city living.
Quality Materials, No Exceptions
When trying other dog shoes on the market, it quickly became clear that manufacturers were cutting corners on materials. When Amanda created Paws By Kai, high-quality materials were a top priority, especially when it comes to durability and flexibility in the sole of the shoe. She added additional rubber grippy material for extra stability and a strong strap with a loop to ensure each pup's paws stay snug. All materials are vet-approved. The Stassi Snow Boot features a fully waterproof construction with a soft fleece lining chosen specifically for warmth and comfort against sensitive paw pads in winter conditions.
Ethical Manufacturing
When selecting a manufacturer, sourcing an ethical, safe, and trustworthy factory was at the top of Amanda's priority list. Paws By Kai is proud to work with a certified ethical factory, free of child labor. Certification documentation is available upon request. For dog parents who care about the full supply chain behind the products they buy for their families, Paws By Kai operates with that same standard of transparency.
Giving Back
Paws By Kai is built around a community of dog lovers, and that extends beyond just selling shoes. The brand's Giving Back program channels a portion of proceeds toward supporting dogs in need. For dog parents who want their purchase to do more than protect their own pup's paws, Paws By Kai offers that opportunity with every order.
