Frequently asked questions
What is Mellow Paw?
Mellow Paw is a pet wellness brand focused on helping your dog or cat feel calmer, happier, and more enriched every day. We design enrichment toys, calming beds, and calming and enrichment products that tap into your pet's natural instincts — like licking, sniffing, and foraging — to reduce stress, prevent boredom, and promote relaxation.
Do these products actually work for anxious dogs?
They work for most dogs, yes. The underlying science is well-established: licking releases calming endorphins, sniffing lowers heart rate, and having a "job" to focus on redirects anxious energy. Used consistently as part of a daily calming routine, most pet parents see a real difference within the first week.
What can I put in the lick bowls and lick mats?
Popular options include peanut butter (xylitol-free), plain yogurt, banana, pumpkin puree, wet dog food, bone broth, and cream cheese. You can serve it fresh or freeze it for a longer-lasting challenge.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days. Items marked US Warehouse (like our cat towers) arrive in 3–6 business days; everything else ships from our international partners and takes 2–3 weeks. Every order includes a tracking number emailed as soon as it ships.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes — free shipping on all orders over $30. For orders under $30, a flat shipping rate is calculated at checkout.
