West Paw is the rare pet brand that actually owns a factory. It has been family owned in Bozeman since 1996, it moulds its Zogoflex toys there from a proprietary blend it makes itself, and the product pages name the town rather than the country.
That is a first-mark story for the toys, and the Toppl record on this site says so.
It is a split line, and West Paw now names it. The Rowdies plush toys say on their own pages “Hand sewn by a woman-owned Indonesian factory; molded and finished in Bozeman, Montana” — a finished good under the West Paw name, sewn abroad, with the division of labour spelled out. Until recently the only thing on the site was a line about “select domestic and international partners” that said nothing about which products. This is a real improvement in disclosure, and it is what puts the brand’s mark at Some USA-made products.
So the brand sits at Some USA-made products and the Bozeman toys sit above it, each with its own mark. That is the shape this catalogue is built for: the honest answer is usually per-product, and pretending otherwise is how “made in USA” became a phrase that means nothing.
