The Zippy Grips Story

Welcome to Zippy Grips! We’re a new family business with a big mission: to improve the lives of pets everywhere, starting right at home.

Grips for Chif

We believe that every animal deserves a great quality of life, no matter their age. As our aging cattle dog “Miss Chif” began to struggle on the hard floors, we looked for products that would improve her traction. While we found some options, they were pretty expensive and ultimately didn’t stay on. We figured we could do it better.. and cheaper.

A Better Option

That idea for continuous improvement led us to take matters into our own hands — actively prototyping, testing, and brainstorming to make Zippy Grips the most cost-effective solution on the market.

Our Zippy Grips are a durable and affordable option to improve traction on hardwood floors, laminate floors, or other slippery surfaces. Our grips work to give dogs the traction they need to live their best lives and zip around with confidence.

Our vision goes beyond our product. We’re passionate about supporting the animals that enrich our lives. Half of our profits will go directly to organizations that help rescue animals in need.

Grips for Good

During this difficult time, we’re proud to support the Best Friends Animal Society – Los Angeles, with 50% of our profits from January to March 2025 going to help pets affected by the recent wildfires. After March, we will choose another animal rescue to support.

Zippy Grips isn’t just about creating better traction for pets—it’s about building something meaningful together as a family. With a first grader on board, every step of this journey is a hands-on learning adventure. From designing the product to deciding which rescue to support next, we’re learning and growing together and teaching the next generation about creativity, resilience, and compassion.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can create a better future for pets, one step at a time.
