How The Peaceful Paw Began

The Peaceful Paw was created out of love for a very special bulldog named Ike who passed away on February 6th 2014. He was 14 years old and a beloved rescue.

Lori Gammon-Megginson, owner and founder of The Peaceful Paw is a native of Charlotte, NC . During the last years of Ike's life, Lori began to incorporate a more holistic approach to Ike's care. It was at this point that Lori became aware of the chemicals and toxins that were in Ike's " top of the line" food and even his pet products. She researched many pet food companies and was surprised to see the many recalls on pet food. She was even more surprised to see so many chemicals in pet products that were supposedly " All- Natural"

The passing of Ike had a huge impact on Lori's life. After his death, she researched more alternative healthcare options for pets, which included animal aromatherapy, the use of essential oils and canine massage. Lori knew the best way to honor Ike was to share her knowledge with other pet parents and The Peaceful Paw was born. Lori decided that after more than 25 years working in the healthcare field as a pediatric nurse, it was time for a career change, a life change.

She became certified in Animal Aromatherapy through Ashi Holistic Center in Banner Elk, NC and trained at the Pet massage Training and Research Institute in Toledo, where she became certified as a Pet massage Practitioner. Lori also wanted to create a truly all-natural line of pet grooming products. Her training in Animal Aromatherapy led her to create the Peaceful Paw product line.

I've been using the shampoo & flea/tick spray for years and when I found out Lori was no longer working at the business I purchased from I tracked her down and begged her to make them for me, that is how well they work. I love they are essential oils so nothing toxic, I spritz my own shoes off before walking dogs in grass. I have bathed a dog that had fleas and the shampoo was killing fleas on contact. The shampoo has made my dogs hair grow quickly and makes wire hair very soft & silky. Lori knows her stuff when it comes to essential oils and herbals supplements for dogs as well as with k9 massage. There has never been a product I've tried that has come close to these products & I'm forever grateful to be able to use them for my dogs.

I have a Dalmatian dog named Blue prone to urinary stones due to high uric acid. After trying different diets, Lori from The Peaceful Paw helped create a tailored meal plan with supplements and Chinese herbs. Within a month and a half, Blue's recent ultrasound showed no crystals, one stone disappeared, and a minor spot remains. Lori's support transformed Blue's health remarkably in a short time, and I'm immensely grateful.

Lori is AMAZING!! She took the time to listen to my dogs specific problems and knew the perfect product to aid in our training. I'm so thankful to have had her insight, the calming spray works wonders with my anxiety-ridden rescue!

Thank you for your calming spray, it helped my boy tremendously!!! Normally he’s shaking in a corner during fireworks, but the spray helped him to settle and he was able to have a good nights sleep, despite the noises

I bought a few products from The Peaceful Paw and my dogs really love them! The Kiss My Paw Balm is silky smooth and light, and paired with the anti-itch Soothing Spray, has helped my baby not lick incessantly. I use the Lavender Spray on my other very anxious dog before walks and when I leave her and she seems a lot calmer. I'm so happy to have found these amazing products.
