Hi! I’m Marissa, and I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m the founder of Big Zen Paws, and like you, I’m absolutely obsessed with dogs.

I’ve been a professional dog groomer since 2013 and have always surrounded myself with animals. My first dog as an adult—a sweet pit bull named Zen—completely changed my life. He’s the reason this brand exists and the inspiration behind the name Big Zen Paws.

This all started when I realized that the harnesses I was using for my own dogs just weren’t safe or strong enough. I wanted something durable, machine washable, but still stylish. When I couldn’t find it, I decided to create it myself.

Big Zen Paws is all about products you can feel confident using—gear that’s built to last, made to fit comfortably, and designed with love for all breeds and sizes.

Thanks so much for stopping by—I truly hope you and your pup love what we’ve created here. 💗🐶
