Lend A Helping Paw – Every Day!
Charity is a very important component of our company. While we enjoy bringing amazing products to your fur babies, our work does not stop there. Each year, more than six million pets end up in shelters and many of these shelters are in short supply of essential items needed to care for them.
To make matters worse, the pandemic and downturn in the economy have pushed many families to the brink of poverty. Unfortunately, when that happens, pets are usually the first to suffer. At Alpha Paw, we want to ensure that those animals who find themselves in shelters will be cared for until they find their forever home.
A Pawfect Pawtnership
The Greater Good Charities program’s Rescue Bank, partners with pet food manufacturers across the country to deliver pet food to shelters in need. When the dogs have enough to eat, they are more positive, happy, and they increase their chances of getting adopted!
Additionally, when food is covered, the shelters can use the extra funds toward other expenses such as covering the medical costs of senior dogs, and other necessities the shelter may need.
How It Barks
For everyPawrRamp sold, Alpha Paw will donate 10 pounds of food to shelter dogs in need. It’s that simple. Your dog will have a ramp it loves, and shelter dogs will be fed for another day.
Why A Greater Good Charities Partnership Is So Important
Every year, approximately 6.5 million animals end up in shelters. A little more than half of those animals are dogs and the other half are cats. Sadly, approximately 1.5 million of those animals will be euthanized.
The One Thing Pet Owners Regret Not Doing Until It’s Too Late
Is your pet safe?
1 in 3 pets will need emergency veterinary treatment each year and it is estimated a pet receives emergency care every 2.5 seconds in the U.S.
The average cost of treating a broken bone in dogs is $2,700. Cancer treatments? Up to $10,000.
It’s why so many pet owners say their biggest regret isn’t the vet bill—it’s not having pet insurance when they needed it most.
Ask yourself: “If an unexpected $5,000 vet bill hit tomorrow, could I afford it?”
If the answer is no, it’s time to get covered.
Take a look at Lemonade. They have a great app that actually works, they have an instant chatbot that is faster and, dare we say it, friendlier than most companies’ “real” customer service and a quick scroll through Reddit will uncover… people are really vibing with this brand.
So go check them out and take a look. It takes less than a minute.
Help us make the lives of these shelter animals a little more comfortable by making sure they have enough to eat. A small amount of food can go a long way.
Alpha Paw’s Story
So, why are we so passionate about helping shelter animals and making their lives better? Well, here’s our story. Alpha Paw started with a dream. Founder Ramon Van Meer’s son Victor wanted to care for all animals.
As soon as victor learned to speak, he wanted a pet, and he wanted to protect them all. His idealistic views were heartwarming and Ramon wanted to find a way to make his dream come true. The years went by and Victor’s passion for helping shelter dogs only deepened. They adopted rescued dogs, and then became rescuers themselves, saving the lives of more than 50 dogs, but Victor knew they could do more.
In 2018, when Victor was 10-years-old, his dream came true. Alpha Paw was born. Victor was ecstatic. For Ramon, a pet owner and animal lover all his life. This was the beginning of an amazing journey.
On his own, he and Victor had saved many dogs’ lives, but with Alpha Paw, the opportunities were endless. And, Partnerships with companies like Greater Good Charities is paramount in helping shelter dogs live as comfortably as they can until they find their forever homes.

80% of Dogs Develop Arthritis or Joint Pain by 7 Years old – Here’s How to Protect Them
Most of us train our dogs when they are puppies to jump up on furniture. We think it’s harmless (and easier than always lifting them), but for dogs, couches and beds are very high compared to the size of their bodies.
Every time they jump it compresses their back and applies enormous force to their joints.
It’s no wonder that an incredible 80% of dogs experience arthritis or joint pain by only 7 years old.
Luckily, there is a vet-recommended solution.
It’s the PawRamp by Alpha Paw. An adjustable ramp that allows dogs to safely get on and off couches and beds. PawRamp makes joining you in bed or on the couch effortless and fun.
As a bonus, you can use code SAVE35 to get $35 off the PawRamp today.
