Julie Napolitano founded Pup Wax in 2019, realizing a lifelong dream of building a business that makes the world a better place for dogs and their people. Pup Wax® is the first 100% clean premium skincare brand for dogs and is a healthier, safer, and more effective skincare alternative. In February 2022, Pup Wax® rebranded as Puppington® to support its growth and expansion.
At Puppington, fashion meets function for less stress pet parenting. We celebrate the transformative power of pets, crafting each product to promote harmony and joy in the pet-parent bond. Our commitment extends beyond product excellence to sustainability, aiming to build a more sustainable world through products that promote reuse and reduce waste. Puppington’s newest innovation is a line of biodegradable, compostable poop bags featuring whimsical designs and in coordinated colors to complement our popular dog treat pouch bags, creating a cohesive look.
We believe in the power of animals to enrich our lives and our world. We are passionate about giving back to build a more sustainable world for people and animals by creating products that reduce waste, promote reuse, and keep things fun for everyone! Puppington is a woman-owned, family-operated MWBE based in Chappaqua, NY.
