Natural Hound is a small family-run business in the historic river town of Anoka, MN.  Using all natural and organic ingredients, we make safe, affordable and extremely effective products that you can feel good about using on your dogs.

We can trace our start to an English Springer Spaniel named Beezer and a simple paw wax made from olive oil and beeswax.  A puppy in 1989, Beezer developed the sore paws and ice chunks between the pads that come from running in the snow and cold of a Minnesota winter.  Looking for a solution, we made up a paw wax on the stove using a beeswax candle and olive oil from the cupboard.  After a few do-overs and getting the mixture right, we had a wax that completely eliminated Beezer’s troubles.

Those first few jars of paw wax eventually turned into a line of all natural skin care products for people – Naked Bear Naturals – and Natural Hound products for dogs.
