Our Founder's Story
It All Started With Hilo
MJ's Cutie Pawz & Padz began with one very special Great Dane named Hilo. Hilo was more than a pet, he was family. A gentle giant with a sensitive tummy, he struggled to enjoy treats without discomfort.
After trying countless brands with no success, we started making our own: simple, gluten-free, wholesome treats made with love and a whole lot of trial and error.
What began as a way to help Hilo quickly grew into something bigger. Friends asked for treats. Then neighbors. Then families whose dogs had the same sensitivities. Before long, MJ's Cutie Pawz & Padz became a trusted source for pups who needed better options.
Though Hilo is no longer with us, his legacy lives in every batch we make. Every treat is made in his honor for all the dogs who deserve comfort, joy, and a happy belly.
