Snaffle Paws Family
At Snaffle Paws, we’re more than just a team – we’re a family, including our two cherished Romanian Rescue dogs, Skye and Kenzo, who inspire everything we do. Our mission began with a simple goal: to give our beloved dogs the healthiest, happiest lives possible. Now, we’re here to share that knowledge and offer top-quality, dog-approved products to canines everywhere. We invite you to join the Snaffle Paws family, where every dog is treated like the VIP (Very Important Pup) they are!
Our Story: The Snaffle Paws Journey
Welcome to the Snaffle Paws pack, where we believe that a dog’s wellbeing is built on a strong foundation of play, relaxation, and a healthy diet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like the fabulous companions they are.
Our journey started when we noticed our dear Skye feeling itchy and out of sorts. After some investigation, we were surprised to learn just how much the environment, food, and chemicals around our dogs can impact their health.
At the same time, Kenzo was struggling with anxiety, and through working with a behaviourist, we discovered the importance of sleep, sniffing, and understanding our dogs’ body language.
This sparked our mission to provide our dogs with clean, natural lives, free from stress, toxins, and additives, while keeping things fun and stylish. And so, Snaffle Paws was born!
Join us on our exciting adventure to help our four-legged companions live their best lives!
Meet Skye – Our Chief Product Developer
Skye is our beautiful Romanian Rescue dog, who joined our family in August 2019 through the wonderful charity, High Hopes Dog Rescue. With a heart-melting nature, Skye is the brains behind the mischief she and Kenzo get up to, though she’s clever enough to let him take the blame! Skye is a people-loving pup who adores belly rubs, often rolling over before you’ve even had a chance to offer one.
Her independent and stubborn streak was clear from the start. As a young pup, her street dog mum had five puppies, and when rescuers came to save them, Skye had gone on an adventure of her own. While her family was whisked away to the UK for a happy ending, Skye returned two weeks later, at just three months old, to finally find safety. Where had she been? No one knows, but that determination still shines through every day.
Skye is a picky princess when it comes to what she eats, wears, and plays with. So, if it’s on our website, you can trust it’s been thoroughly tested and approved by Skye herself!
Meet Kenzo – Our Quality Control Manager
Kenzo, another Romanian rescue, joined our family in May 2020 as the perfect playmate for Skye. He adores her, though she definitely takes the lead in their dynamic duo.
Kenzo spent his first year as a street dog near a busy road (watch his rescue video here). Thanks to the amazing charity Cloud K9 Rescue, he arrived in the UK in February 2020 and stayed with his loving foster mum, Colleen. We’re forever grateful for the care and training she provided, making Kenzo the affectionate and gentle dog he is today.
This sweet-natured boy loves a cuddle and plays the role of “dog” to Skye’s “princess.” But beware – they both have a passion for digging!
Kenzo thrives on routine but struggles with anxiety. Sometimes, the world outside can be overwhelming for him. We’ve learnt how to reduce his stress and know when he needs some quiet time. Sniffing and play are essential for building his confidence.
Luckily for us, Kenzo never turns down training treats or toys. So, if Kenzo says "No" to something we create, it’s definitely a no-go!
