Iron Paws is an American pet supplement company that produces a veterinarian-formulated, human-grade superfood powder designed to support canine health and longevity. The company was founded by Sharon MacIvor, a licensed veterinarian and entrepreneurs Billy Howell and Jahan Khubani. Based in the United States, Iron Paws is recognized for its use of high-quality ingredients and emphasis on multi-functional health benefits for dogs, including digestion, immunity, mobility, and dental hygiene.
History
Iron Paws was co-founded by Sharon MacIvor, DVM, a veterinary doctor with over three decades of clinical experience in internal medicine, emergency care, and pet longevity. The company was launched to address the growing demand for comprehensive, preventative supplements for dogs using science-based, natural formulations.
As both a veterinarian and the company’s primary formulator, MacIvor developed Iron Paws to serve as a daily nutritional aid for dogs of all breeds and ages. Her goal was to deliver an effective alternative to traditional supplements, combining functionality with ingredient transparency. She continues to guide the company’s clinical direction and product development.
Product
The company’s flagship product is Iron Paws Premium Dog Supplement, a powdered blend of 19 active ingredients. It is designed to be added directly to a dog’s food or water. All components used in the supplement are human-grade and free from artificial fillers or preservatives. The supplement is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-registered facility.
The product aims to support multiple aspects of canine health, including:
- Digestive health and gut support
- Cardiovascular function
- Immune system strength
- Dental health and fresh breath
- Skin and coat condition
- Joint and mobility function
- Cognitive function and brain health
- Energy and stamina
The dosage is determined by the dog’s weight, and customers may choose from several subscription packages offering free shipping and volume-based discounts. The product is backed by a 90-day satisfaction guarantee.
