Our Green Initiative

Fun Paw Care is an animal and earth-loving vegan company. Being vegan has by far, the greatest positive impact a human can have on the environment, and there is no greater way to lower your carbon footprint on the planet we are renting. Additionally, being vegan is the greatest way to love all animals, not to discriminate, and to practice compassion for all sentient beings. If loving animals and taking care of our planet sound like something you would like to participate in, please visit our Resources page under the “ADVOCACY/VEGANISM” section.

Fun Paw Care uses biodegradable poop bags, organic treats, and shampoos, phosphate-free cleaning supplies, BPA-free plastic toys and bowls, recycled paper, paperless agreements, and is extremely conscious of our carbon footprint. We do not use harsh chemicals or cleaners in our home to irritate your dog’s sensitive nose.

When using aromatherapy for pets, all of our candles are 100% organic soy/vegetable-based and paraffin-free!  We use cotton wicks and never use metal core or lead wicks! All of the oils we use in our candles and our essential oils are pure, natural, and organic therapy-grade essential oils. Your dog’s olfactory glands will thank you.

We are active in our community beach cleaning and park cleaning volunteer organizations and are proactive and activists about bringing awareness to our pet families and community members. We strive to make the world safer and cleaner one paw at a time for pets and their humans.

Dr. Jane Goodall

Russell is a gifted trainer. Thank you for your dedication and compassion for training and helping homeless dogs.

TED Talks Founders, Vanessa Wurman, & family

…Russell is sweet and very effective when handling my very different dogs and I have seen amazing dog training and behavior results since their introduction. If you are looking for someone who has the utmost respect for your animal, is prompt and courteous, and values education and safety above all else, Fun Paw Care is the last place you need to look.

You are so impressive; I cannot believe how much you know about dogs and how fast the dogs are learning. Thank you for training our dogs and helping us!

Dr. Mike Tenzer, VCA Animal Hospital

I’ve not seen a trainer with his level of experience and ability in my almost 20 years of practice in South Florida. For the people and pets that make up the VCA Animal Hospital family, there’s no one we trust more with dog training, care and behavior issues than Russell and Fun Paw Care…

Dr. Lori Walter

As a veterinarian I have known Russell for some years… His dedication, professionalism, depth of knowledge and passion for animals are evident…The techniques he utilizes and teaches are clear and effective… I am over the moon to have his help and will not hesitate to recommend Fun Paw Care to all my clients, family and friends.

Gabrielle Anwar & Shareef Malnik

Wow, Russell is proof that you don’t need to have a heavy hand for dogs to learn quickly. You’re amazing, we’re converted! Thank you so much, for your help.

Dr. Carol K. & Lulabelle

What an amazing change you have made in our lives and the lives of our little Pekinese, Lulabelle!! We had many trainers over the last 3 years before meeting you. We consider it a miracle that we met you…
