DogTipper Launches PawZaar

Austin, TX, July 15, 2015 --(PR.com)-- When guidebook writers Paris Permenter and John Bigley explored the globe, they often found themselves faced with communication challenges – except when it came to four-legged locals. “Wherever we traveled, we realized that we were already well-versed in the body language of the dog and cat population. They spoke the same language as our own pets back home.”

To give back to those pets around the world, the husband-wife team has founded PawZaar, an online bazaar of pet-themed products from around the globe. Founded by the publishers of DogTipper.com and CatTipper.com, this new site takes a global view of pet welfare. Ten percent of all proceeds goes to help international and domestic animal welfare agencies.

“Over the years, we have seen such a growth in pet-themed handicrafts, and I think that reflects the more prominent role that pets play in today’s households,” explains Permenter.

PawZaar features everything from artisan pet-themed jewelry to handmade pet toys, all reflecting the style of the region in which they were made. “We have always loved searching through the souks, night markets, and bazaars around the world, often meeting the artists themselves,” says Permenter who, with her husband, carefully curates items from her Austin home. “Now we’re enjoying sniffing out products of special interest to pet lovers like ourselves.”
