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 anxiety-relief 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.
