4 Dr.PAWPAW clones, one with 196 products live 17 seconds after registration
Four stores copied from drpawpaw.com were live on 27 September: drpawpawshop.shop, drpawpawbeauty.shop, drpawpawglobal.shop and drpawpawboutique.shop. Each carries 157 to 196 Dr.PAWPAW products on the same storefront software and hosting network. Our domain sweep and certificate searches found seven Dr.PAWPAW-name .shop domains registered or first seen between March and July 2026. A fifth store, drpawpawtrading.shop, is a German-language shop built from marketplace listings. drpawpawofficial.shop and drpawpawcare.shop are already on hold. AliExpress, Alibaba, Temu and DHgate showed no counterfeit Dr.PAWPAW listings.

Sold out at £9.25, $4.34 on the clone
On drpawpaw.com, the Shea Butter Lip Balm 25ml shows a mint-green tube on a yellow background scattered with droplets, at £9.25, marked Sold out on the day we checked.
drpawpawshop.shop shows the same photograph under the Dr.PAWPAW logo, with a red -65% badge, $4.34 against a struck-through $12.40, and an Add to cart button. Its page title, Versatile Beauty Products | Vegan and Natural Skin and Lip Care | Dr.PAWPAW, flagged it in our domain sweep. The scanner rated it a brand-keyword domain that uses the brand. The photo match came from our own image-hash comparison.
196 Dr.PAWPAW product pages, stamped 17 seconds after the domain was registered.
What we caught
drpawpawshop.shop lists 196 products in its sitemap. 127 use the exact web address of a product on drpawpaw.com, from the Gift Card to the Shea Butter Lip Balm 25ml, with descriptions copied word for word. The About page retells the brand's history as a British beauty brand founded in 2013.
The store serves Dr.PAWPAW's own packshots. Its main Shea Butter Lip Balm 25ml image matches the drpawpaw.com file at a combined image-hash distance of 4 (perceptual hash 0). The homepage banner is the brand's own free-lip-balm promotion.
drpawpawshop.shop's struck-through dollar prices are drpawpaw.com's pound prices times about 1.34, with the -65% price underneath: the £9.25 Shea Butter Lip Balm 25ml is $4.34 and the £4.25 Hot Pink balm $1.99. drpawpawbeauty.shop keeps the pound figures, adds a dollar sign and sells the £10 gift card for $3.50.
drpawpawshop.shop was registered at 07:54:59 UTC on 13 July 2026. Its sitemap stamps all 196 product pages between 07:55:16 and 07:55:19. drpawpawbeauty.shop did the same on 21 July: registered at 13:59:43, with its 157 product pages stamped from 14:00:05.
The evidence, store by store
The same photo: £9.25 and sold out on drpawpaw.com, $4.34 on the lookalike.
Registered 21 July 2026. The gift card is $3.50 and the Ultimate Red balm $1.75.
500+ products on the banner, 190 in its sitemap. The testimonials are unattributed first names.
A German-language store built from marketplace listings, prices struck through to about half.
All 4 stores list a drpawpaw.com support address
drpawpawshop.shop and drpawpawbeauty.shop load the same stylesheet build and the same payment options. drpawpawglobal.shop and drpawpawboutique.shop share a second build of the same software, with 190 products each; their product pages are stamped 16 April and 22 April 2026, the days their first security certificates were issued. All four resolve to the same hosting network. We could not confirm who runs them, and shared hosting does not prove a shared owner.
The filler is generic. drpawpawboutique.shop claims 500+ products, 10,000+ happy customers and 50+ countries above three five-star quotes signed Sarah M., David R. and Elena K. drpawpawglobal.shop runs an Up to 70% Off Selected Items banner. drpawpawshop.shop's shipping page quotes rates in pounds and free shipping on orders over $50. All four contact pages give support@drpawpaw.com, an address at the brand's own domain; drpawpaw.com itself lists info@drpawpaw.com. None names a company or a postal address. We placed no orders and cannot say what, if anything, these stores ship.
A German store built on Amazon listings, and 2 names on hold
drpawpawtrading.shop, registered on 9 March 2026, works differently. Its 109 product pages are in German, their addresses carry Amazon product codes, and their photos load directly from Amazon's image servers. The It Does It All 7 in 1 hair styler is listed as a 150 ml Haarkur at 11,80 € against a struck-through 23,69 €; drpawpaw.com sells the 100 ml styler for £9.99. The store pads its range with dog shampoos from an unrelated brand, and its homepage still has a Beliebteste Spielzeuge (most popular toys) heading.
Two other names are already down. drpawpawofficial.shop, registered on 23 March 2026, is on client hold, a registrar-level suspension. drpawpawcare.shop, registered on 2 July 2026, is on server hold at the registry. Neither resolves. Certificate logs also show drpawpaw-name domains in many countries going back to 2016. Most look like regional distributors, and we did not treat them as suspicious.
8 unrelated sites indexed as Dr.PAWPAW sales
Google indexed eight unrelated websites under Dr.PAWPAW product titles such as Dr. Pawpaw Berry Kiss Tinted Lip Oil 2026 Factory Sale and dr. pawpaw Dr PAWPAW Gift Card Buy Now. Opened directly, each showed its normal content, a pattern typical of hijacked pages. We did not confirm where they send shoppers.
The marketplace sweep found no counterfeit signals. Scanner results on AliExpress and Alibaba were unrelated papaya ingredients and generic goods, and our own Temu and DHgate searches found no Dr.PAWPAW listings. On Amazon.com and eBay, Dr.PAWPAW products were sold by Amazon itself and by third-party resellers at $4.99 to $35. We could not match those sellers to the brand and saw nothing marking them as counterfeit. Several listings on both sites belong to an unrelated pet product with the same name. The 60 exact-image matches on official product photos were almost all ordinary retail listings on Amazon and Walmart.

Report to registry, registrar and host
Two Dr.PAWPAW-name .shop domains are already on hold, so this channel works. Send an evidence package for each live store, and one to the shared hosting network.
Lead with the photos and support address
File copyright notices on the matching product images, and point out that all four lookalikes list an address at drpawpaw.com as their support contact.
Watch for the next .shop name
Monitor new domains that add shop, beauty, global, boutique, care, official or trading to the brand name, and the search pages that name Dr.PAWPAW products.
It looks like drpawpaw.com, at 65% off
These stores designed nothing. The same software pulled Dr.PAWPAW's product names, photos and descriptions onto a new domain within seconds of registration, converted the prices and took 65% off.
Two suspended names show takedowns work. Four live ones show how cheaply the next domain appears. We found no counterfeit balms on the big marketplaces. The exposure is a shopper who searches for a cheaper balm, pays a store that looks exactly like Dr.PAWPAW's own, and writes to a drpawpaw.com address when something goes wrong.
