In the ever-evolving world of pet accessories, one name stands out for its unique blend of style, sustainability, and functionality: A Pet with Paws. The brainchild of Ann Greenberg, this innovative brand is redefining how we travel with our furry friends. Ann’s journey into the pet accessory market is as fascinating as her products are stylish. Before founding A Pet with Paws, Ann was immersed in the world of fashion with her company, The Underground Chic, which specialized in eco-friendly handbags crafted from fabric made of recycled plastic bottles. These handbags, adorned with photo-printed images of leather designs, were a testament to her commitment to style and sustainability.
Inspiration: The Birth of a Vision
The inspiration for A Pet with Paws came from an unexpected source: a bulky, unattractive pet carrier. Watching her stepdaughter struggle with the unwieldy carrier for their beautiful cat, Madison, Ann had an epiphany. She envisioned a pet carrier that combined the chic aesthetics of a designer handbag with the practical functionality needed for pet travel. This "aha" moment led to the creation of the Madison Pet Carrier, named after the very cat that sparked the idea.
From Concept to Reality
Ann’s mission was clear: to create a line of pet carriers that were as fashionable as they were functional. The Madison Pet Carrier, her first product, featured a high-resolution photo imprint of a leather handbag on fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. This innovative approach offered a stylish alternative to traditional pet carriers and underscored Ann’s commitment to sustainability.
Award-Winning Innovation
Ann Greenberg’s dedication to innovation and sustainability has not gone unnoticed. In 2022, she was honored with the Pet Carrier of the Year award by Pet Innovations, an organization that identifies and promotes thought leaders in the pet industry.
