On-line retail for high-end, natural pet products. Made in Maine & the USA.
One thing I know for sure: people want the very best for their pets. That's why we created Uncommon Paws. We provide interesting, high quality products made with the best, sustainable, natural materials. That's what we're all about. We search out the unusual, the beautiful, and the best items that will last for more than just one season. We work with expert Maine craftspeople to create many of our products.
What else makes us uncommon? We care deeply about the environment and try to make good choices every day to minimize our carbon footprint and that of our pets. We hope you do too.
