About Happy Little Paws

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Happy Little Paws, where a love for dogs and creativity come together to create unique, handmade pet accessories! Based in beautiful Dorset, I’m Abbey, a lifelong dog lover with a passion for crafting high-quality, stylish, and comfortable accessories for your furry friends. We started in 2022 with a love of sewing and pets!

​

Every product in our collection is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted with care, using only the finest materials to ensure your pets feel as great as they look. From stylish bow ties to beautiful bandanas, each item is made with love, inspired by my own experiences as a devoted dog owner.

​

At Happy Little Paws, our mission is simple: to make your pets look their best while keeping their comfort in mind. Whether you're exploring the local trails of Dorset, looking for an accessory for a specific event or enjoying a cosy day indoors, our accessories are designed to bring a touch of style and joy to every moment.

Thank you for supporting a small, local business with a big heart for pets. We can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey!

​

We are always working on new products and would love any feedback if there is anything in particular you would like.

Our Positive Impact

At Happy Little Paws, we believe in making a difference, not just through our high-quality pet accessories, but also in the way we operate. As a small business based in the UK, we are committed to supporting local communities and minimizing our environmental footprint. Here's how we strive to make a positive impact:

​

• Supporting Local Communities: We take pride in sourcing our fabrics and supplies from within the UK. By partnering with local suppliers and artisans, we not only ensure the highest quality for our products but also contribute to the local economy. Shopping local helps us build strong, supportive relationships with our community and fosters a thriving local marketplace.

• Eco-Friendly Practices: Our dedication to sustainability is at the core of our business. We prioritize eco-friendly delivery methods to reduce our carbon footprint. From using smaller packaging materials to reduce wastage and trying to use cardboard/paper instead of plastic, to choosing reduced carbon shipping options, we are committed to making our delivery processes as green as possible.

• Handmade with Care: Each of our products is handmade with love and attention to detail. This not only guarantees exceptional quality but also reduces waste and supports sustainable production practices. Our small-scale, artisanal approach allows us to create unique, durable products that stand the test of time.

• Continuous Improvement: We are always looking for ways to improve our sustainability efforts. Whether it's exploring new eco-friendly materials or enhancing our waste reduction strategies, our goal is to continuously evolve and make a greater positive impact.

​

Join Us in Making a Difference: By choosing Happy Little Paws, you are supporting a small business that values ethical practices and environmental responsibility. Together, we can make a positive impact on our community and the planet.
