Why My Dog Picks Neenah Paper: The Tails of a Premium Paper Lover (Valentine's Day Edition)

This morning, our VP of Sales and Marketing, Courtney, shared a hilarious moment with us that we just had to pass on to you—especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner! You see, Courtney’s dog Kula has a rather unique taste in snacks. Forget dog biscuits or gourmet treats—this dog LOVES to munch on paper. And not just any paper, mind you... but regular, everyday paper.

It all started when Courtney left a stack of paper out on her desk at home. She turned her back for one second—and the next thing she knew, Kula had grabbed the paper and was happily chewing away like it was the finest treat in the world. Imagine her surprise when she walked in to find her dog snacking on a plain sheet of paper, as if it were some kind of gourmet snack.

Enter Terri, our Creative Consultant, who couldn’t resist asking: “Does your dog pick Neenah? I hear premium paper tastes better!”

We all burst out laughing, but then the idea started to stick: Could it be that Kula is so into paper that even regular paper just isn’t enough? Maybe this pup is a connoisseur, always on the hunt for something a little more refined—something as smooth and luxurious as a Valentine’s Day gift from the heart. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Neenah paper is the premium paper for high-quality projects.

Imagine this: You’re giving your special someone a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card, and you want it to be as premium as your feelings. You wouldn’t settle for just any paper, right? You’d pick Neenah for its rich texture and high-quality feel—just like you’d pick the perfect gift for your Valentine.

Oh, and fun fact about Kula—her name means “gold” in Hawaiian (she’s a gold/yellow lab!). Courtney and her husband, Eric, took their first vacation to Hawaii just a week after they met, which makes Kula’s name even more special. The name Kula also refers to a type of yoga meaning "bringing communities together," which resonates deeply with Courtney, as her grandma, who passed before Kula came into their lives, was the one who brought them all together. It’s a beautiful way to honor her grandma’s legacy.

So, to answer the question: Does my dog pick Neenah? Well, not yet, but we’re pretty sure that if this dog ever develops a taste for premium paper, Neenah would be at the top of the list. In the meantime, we’ll keep saving the Neenah for projects that deserve it (and leave the regular paper for snacks).

At Millcraft, we’re all about quality—whether it’s the paper we distribute, the special moments we help create, or the unexpected fans of our products (like Kula). If you’re looking to add that extra touch of luxury to your Valentine’s Day projects, Neenah paper is the perfect way to say, “I care.”
