About Us

Welcome! Thank you so much for visiting The Dapper Paw! 

Meet Ciara!

Ciara

Hello! I'm so glad you decided to stop by. Here's a little about me!

I pretty much live on coffee.. no shame! I live in Indiana (but it's considered the Cincinnati Metro!) with my husband, Dylan, and pup, Blue. If you receive a package from Indiana, I made it! I love seeing all of your photos with our products on social media, it totally makes my day! I run our Instagram and Facebook pages, respond to messages, and print our mugs and placemats. 

When I'm not working on Dapper Paw, you can probably find me playing frisbee with Blue, watching Netflix (currently binging on The Office), or eating Mexican food while enjoying a frozen margarita. Please send me any and all Netflix recommendations - no joke!

 

How TDP Began

In 2015 I had a new puppy, Blue, who I enrolled in a puppy training class (Dog Obedience Group if you're in KC you really need to check them out!). During class, Blue gravitated towards another Aussie puppy, Dexter. It became evident that they wanted to be BFFs! Our instructor, Sherri, recommended that we visit the dog park together so the boys could continue to 'hang out'. We took her advice, and quickly Serena and I became just as close!
Over margaritas we decided we should start a business that benefits pups and the pet community - and thus Dapper Paw was born on April 1, 2016. We continued the business together until late 2025. Serena took on a new adventure, and I have continued Dapper Paw as a solo-venture! Serena still designs for Dapper Paw, and I'm so glad! 
Cheers to another 10-years!
