Our story

At Knotty Pawz, we blend traditional rope crafting with innovative pet play designs. Our story began in 1998 in China's premier rope-making region, where 90% of the world's recycled cotton rope pet toys are produced. Each toy is handcrafted by our family's skilled artisans, many of whom have been perfecting their craft for over two decades. From interactive tugging ropes to enrichment toys, every piece reflects our deep-rooted expertise and commitment to quality.

What sets us apart isn't just our 25-year heritage in rope toy manufacturing – it's our dedication to creating lasting moments of joy between pets and their families. Each toy carries the legacy of our craftsmanship and our promise of endless playtime adventures.

At Knottaro, we're passionate about both pets and planet. We source recycled textile materials from clothing manufacturers, transforming potential waste into durable, eco-friendly pet toys. By upcycling premium textile remnants, we create quality products that bring joy to pets while reducing environmental impact. It's our way of ensuring a better world for both our furry friends and future generations.

Tradition & Transparency

As a family-owned business, we prioritizes ethical practices at every step of our manufacturing process. Our commitment to transparency ensures that every product meets rigorous standards for safety, quality, and sustainability, offering pet owners peace of mind. We believe in fostering trust through clear communication and integrity, ensuring that our handcrafted pet toys not only bring joy to pets but also contribute positively to the environment.

The quality is amazing. People love the shapes and durability.

As for barcodes, we currently don’t have UPC codes on our items because we are a family-owned small business. However, we’re planning to implement barcodes next year as we grow. Some of our rope toys, like the tug ropes, have hang tags, but others, such as the animal rope toys, do not. We’ve found that displaying the animal rope toys standing upright on shelves, rather than hanging them, makes it easier for customers to notice and appreciate their unique features.
