Together, We Lift Every Dog’s Spirit

It all began with a quiet moment. Walt Stewart sat with an older dog, its eyes shining with silent stories, inspiring him to treasure every wag and every challenge.
That small moment grew into MyPremiumPaw over 20 years ago, born from Walt’s big love for dogs and a dream to improve their lives. Moved by the strength of a senior dog, the grace of a pampered pup, and the bravery of a special-needs companion, he created a place of exceptional care.
From those humble beginnings, Walt’s passion grew into a mission: to provide owners with easy, premium tips and tools that can turn hard times into happy ones.
Today, with a dedicated global team of vets, trainers, and dog lovers, we’ve built more than a brand we’ve built a warm community, a home for those who see their dogs as part of their hearts.

Find Your Perfect Breed

When my 14 year old Golden Retriever started struggling to get up each morning, I felt helpless. I tried so many beds until I found the one from MyPremiumPaw. The difference was clear from night one. He slept through the night, no more whimpering. Now, he stretches and even trots to the door when I grab his leash. This isn’t just a purchase. It’s peace of mind. And for the first time in months, I feel like I’m truly supporting him.

Owner of Max (14 years old)

After my dog lost his back legs, I thought our walks were over.Then I found MyPremiumPaw’s mobility harness recommendation . It wasn’t just about getting him outside it was about seeing him want to go again. Now he runs in the yard, wags his tail, and even chases squirrels. He’s not broken. He’s brave. And I’m so proud to walk beside him.

Owner of Winston (5 years old)

Watching my senior dog lose interest in food was heartbreaking. Then I found the MyPremiumPaw guide, and it made the transition easy and full of care. Soon, he was eating happily again, and I felt hope return to his eyes. This guide gave me peace, knowing I’m truly supporting my best friend in his golden years

Does ignoring for 2–3 minutes hurt feelings? +

It shouldn’t if you pair it with immediate, warm reinforcement for paws-down or a cued sit/place. Most dogs catch on fast when calm behavior = attention.

Can I keep big, joyful hellos? +

Yes keep the joy, change the mechanics. Crouch/sit, cue “place,” or hand the toy first, then celebrate.

Leash on before opening the door, cue “place,” reward, then release to greet calmly.

Is it okay to feel frustrated when caring for a senior dog? +
