Have you ever bought something for your dog and wondered who actually made it?
Behind every handmade collar or leash is a real person—late nights, sore hands, big dreams, and a whole lot of heart.
In this episode, Em sits down with Diana, the founder of Dainty Paws, a small business creating handcrafted beaded dog collars and leashes that are safe, stylish, and built with intention. They talk about what it really looks like to grow a brand from your kitchen table to stores around the world, why supporting small pet businesses matters, and how giving back to rescue dogs is woven into everything she creates.
Press play if you love dogs, believe in shopping small, and want to support products made with purpose—not mass production.
