History
Jennifer T. DiGrazia was inspired to launch PawFlex after she rescued Maddy and Rylie in 2009. They were blind, frightened dachshunds. Maddy developed a festering sore on his front leg, and she found it very difficult to bandage it, which made her realize to design bandages specifically for dogs.[12] The first patents were applied for in early 2010, and several were issued.
