Hello, I'm Jacob Carter, the proud founder of Orange Paws. With over 15 years of experience in the pet care industry and an equal amount of time dedicated to working with nonprofits, I've developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of animals and the people who care for them.
Orange Paws is a specialized business that provides turmeric-based supplements for a wide range of animals, from household pets to ranch animals. Our products are the result of years of research and a deep commitment to improving the health and well-being of animals.
In addition to running Orange Paws, I'm an active member of the Southern Arizona nonprofit community. I currently serve on the board of directors for the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and work occasionally with Beads of Courage, a nonprofit that uses arts-in-medicine to support children and teens coping with serious illness.
My latest venture, Gray Paws, is a heartfelt project that aims to provide comfort and respect to dogs in their final weeks and months of life by offering them a loving foster home.
At Orange Paws, we believe in the power of care, compassion, and community. We're here to make a difference, one paw at a time. đŸ
It all started with a burro named Angel who had terrible allergies.
My business partner, Dr. Laura Pawlak, had tried immunotherapy for years, but allergies changed and weâd have to start over again.
Finally, she began to use a turmeric blend and the allergies were gone within a couple weeks.
Dr. Pawlakâs background is in biochemistry and nutrition, so she knew the amazing anti-inflammatory power of turmeric, and how best to blend it with pepper (greatly aids with absorption) plus an appropriate amount of omega rich whole foods.
Long story short, we decided to market this blend that we now call âTurmeric Plusâ to pets of all shapes sizes and ages. Keeping up with the latest peer-reviewed research, we now know the correct dosage for dogs, cats, horses, and other mammals (including humans! I take it myself! Though at present we donât market for humans - our products are 100% organic human grade).
