What's in a name... The term "Salty Dog" originated from Appalachia, where they would rub salt into the coat of a dog as a form of flea repellent. Since salt wasn't cheap, they would only treat their favourite dog. Therefore, someone's "Salty Dog" became known as their favourite person or best friend. We are lucky enough to live by the beach and our dogs love to play in and out of the water, getting sand everywhere! So, it was only fitting when the time came to start our new venture "Salty Paws" was the perfect name for us. Our logo colours also reflect this - blue, white, yellow and green (sea, shells, sand and herbs).
