Based in Gilbert, Arizona

Cool Paws was born from the passion of founder Scott Culbertson and his love for his English Bulldog, Stumpy. What began as a vision for a premier indoor dog park to help dogs stay cool and comfortable in the scorching Arizona heat quickly evolved into something bigger. Faced with the financial challenge of launching such an ambitious project, Scott pivoted and found a way to fund his dream by creating a line of pet-themed apparel and accessories for dog lovers.

Every purchase you make at Cool Paws directly supports our mission to bring the ultimate indoor dog park to life—and with your support, who knows? This dream could grow into a network of parks nationwide!

Our Motivation:

Stumpy

Stumpy, our beloved “COVID baby” was born in 2020 and wasted no time in becoming the undisputed Queen of our home. She means the world to us, and it breaks our hearts to see her stuck indoors during Arizona’s sweltering summer months. That’s why we dream of creating a vibrant, safe haven where dogs like Stumpy can run, play, and socialize freely—protected from the heat in a cool, comfortable space designed just for them.
