We thoroughly enjoyed the article "Put it to Bed" in the Pet Business October Issue.

We were delighted to receive the September Issue of Pet Product News International Magazine. Not only did Pet Product News quote West Paw Design on Page 34 on "Gifts that Tell a Story," but when we read the "Happy Holistic Holiday" article on Page 50, we were tickled pink to read:"Bonnie's Barkery loves West Paw Design beds."

Improvements to website help save you time, and make ordering easier than ever at WestPawDesign.com!We are excited to announce our enhanced website with our 2009 fall winter catalog. Most of the changes we've made are unnoticable, but we have a whole new foundation to our site. This will allow for more flexibility and improvements for the future.
Trade shows are a lot of work - but we love them! As a manufacturer from Montana, the trade show is often the only opportunity we have to meet our wonderful dealers in person. It's fantastic being able to put faces with names and be able to chat about your business face to face. Since the trade shows are often the only time we get to do so - you bet there's a mad rush here in the office for volunteers! We typically only take 2 or 3 employees but here at West Paw, we are all about sharing! If you don't see one of us at one show...try another!
