Paws & Whiskers: Where Your Dog’s Safety Comes First



One Early Walk, One Big Lesson

Sunrise. You and your dog, Luna, are hiking a quiet trail. A squirrel darts by, Luna jumps, and—thanks to her AdventureReady™ Harness—you keep her close and safe. No panic, no pain. That calm moment is what Paws & Whiskers is made for.

How We Started

In 2014 our founder, Marisol Vega, almost lost her beagle, Jasper, when a weak collar clip snapped. She learned that 1 in 3 dogs faces a preventable safety scare each year. Marisol used her engineering know?how to build stronger, kinder gear. Today we still follow her promise: protect every dog like Jasper.

Why Safety Matters

Busy streets mean more cars and bikes.

Adventure life puts dogs on boats, trails, and city rooftops.

Longer lives mean more years of joint care and night walks.

Good safety gear lets dogs explore while you relax.

What Makes Our Gear Different

Gentle strength – Soft padding spreads pull, so no choking.

Cool & dry – Breathable mesh keeps fur comfy.

Moves with your dog – Straps bend and flex, never rub.

Shines at night – Reflective thread is woven in, so it never flakes off.

We test every buckle and stitch until tails wag during try?ons.
