Hello SwiftPaws Community!
If you've spent any time browsing our site, you’ve probably seen her name or noticed a little liver-colored Miniature Schnauzer tearing up your feed. Either way, she is way overdue for a proper introduction.
Meet Maisie. She’s five years old, lives in Florida with her mom Halima, partner Evan, and toddler Sienna, and has been a beloved SwiftPaws affiliate partner for a couple of years now!

About that catch

One of the questions we get most often is whether you should actually let your dog catch the flag, or keep it just out of reach so the chase lasts longer. It is a fair thing to wonder. The running is the part that looks like fun, and the catch is the part that ends it.
Let them catch it. Every time.
A chase that never ends anywhere leaves a dog wound up rather than satisfied, and after a few rounds of getting close and never quite getting it, most dogs quietly decide the thing is not catchable and stop putting in the effort. The catch is the whole payoff.

CHASE! is like capture the flag, for pets. This innovative kit lets you build an exciting, ever-changing course for your furry friend, and they get to do the one thing they were born to do: chase the flag down and catch it.
Because they actually get to catch it, CHASE! completes the full prey drive cycle in a way that a ball never can. That's the difference between a dog who is physically tired and a dog who is genuinely satisfied.

Is 20 mph too fast for a Chihuahua?
Not at all. You set the speed from the app, so you can start slow and work up to whatever your pup is comfortable with. YOU control the speed & direction.
How much space do I really need?
Less than you'd think. A course can be as compact as a living room loop or stretch up to 100 feet across a yard.
How long should a session be?
Most pets are happily worn out within just a few minutes.
What if my pet doesn't take to it?
Every kit comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it with zero risk.

If you've ever felt like your cat is bored or has energy to burn but nowhere to put it, you're not alone. It's one of the most common things cat parents deal with, and it's exactly why indoor enrichment matters so much.
Thereysa (@gingiandluna) put together a really helpful video where she unboxes the Pounce! kit, sets it up from scratch, and shows how her cats respond to it for the first time. It's honest and unscripted, so it's a great way to see what to actually expect before you try it yourself.

Here's the idea behind it: cats are natural hunters. In the wild, a big part of their day is spent stalking and chasing prey. Indoor cats have that same instinct, but often don't have a way to act on it, which can lead to boredom or restlessness. Pounce gives them a safe, satisfying outlet for that natural behavior, right in your living room.

Pounce is our indoor lure kit made for cats and small dogs. The lure moves unpredictably around a course you set up, encouraging your pet to stalk, chase, and pounce, giving them both exercise and mental stimulation without needing to go outside.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at SwiftPaws!
Today is a day to celebrate hard work, and honestly, it feels like the perfect moment to pull back the curtain and share a little about the hardworking hands behind every single SwiftPaws outdoor kit.
When you buy from SwiftPaws, you're not buying from a company that sketches out a product, ships the specs overseas, slaps its name on a box, and never actually touches what it's selling. That's just not who we are, and it never has been.
We're a small, five-person team, and we do as much as we possibly can right here in the USA. That includes our design, engineering, testing, assembly, fulfillment, and customer support. And yes...even our electronics.

Those little green boards

The photos you're seeing are our printed circuit boards the brains behind every SwiftPaws outdoor kit. Our circuit boards are made here in America, and the components that go onto them are assembled here too, by our incredible partner team at Conduction Technologies in Alabama.

There's honestly something pretty amazing about watching it all come together. Here's a little insight straight from their factory floor:

We'll be honest with you...

Making electronics in the USA is not the easy way to do it. It's more work, it costs more, and it takes more time. We could absolutely save money by making them elsewhere, like so many companies do.
But we believe some things are worth the extra effort. Supporting skilled American workers. Keeping quality close to home. Being able to stand behind every single component in your outdoor kit. To us, that's simply the right way to do it - not because it's easier, and definitely not because it's cheaper, but because it matters.

And at the end of the day, all of it - the American-made electronics, the in-house assembly, the extra care - it's for them. The tail-wagging, zoomie-loving, flag-chasing goodest boys and girls who make everything worth it.

So this Labor Day, we're raising a paw to the hardworking people who pour their hearts into every SwiftPaws outdoor kit - our little team, and our amazing partners across the country. And most of all, to you, for supporting a small American business that refuses to cut corners.

Whether you've been part of the pack for years or you're just discovering us today, thank you. Truly. You're the reason we get to keep doing what we love.
"Wishing you a Labor Day filled with rest, good company, and a little extra play with the pets you love."
Happy Labor Day from the whole SwiftPaws pack!
- Meghan & the SwiftPaws Team
