Nooga Paws

This is the only place that I get my dogs food and toys. My dogs are like family and this place feels like family too. They really care about my fur babies and are very knowledgeable about food and the products they carry. And they are locally owned too!

The staff members here truly know their stuff. They helped me find a dog food for my babies that practically eliminated their itchy skin. They have all the best options for my babies from food to toys.

I’ve been to a lot of pet stores, and there’s just no place like Nooga Paws. The staff is great and are always so helpful when it comes to questions about food and nutrition. I’ve started feeding my dogs a raw diet since shopping here and have already seen great differences in their coats and overall health. They have self-​wash stations which make bathing my shepherds a breeze, and lots of treats and toys for rewards after! It’s in a great area and you really get a sense of a community shopping here.

Nooga Paws is as good as it gets. The service is outstanding, the store clean and it is full of all the best dog and cat supplies. My dog knows where she is as we pull into the parking lot, excited to get to explore her favorite store. I really appreciate the knowledge of the staff and their willingness to take the time to talk to each customer about their specific needs. It never seems like I’m a burden to them! I highly recommend Nooga Paws to all my animal friends!

I absolutely love this place. I live in Atlanta but one of my best friends lives in Chattanooga. While he was at work I figured I would surprise him and bathe my German Shepherd and his boston/​beagle/​weiner dog mix. Atlanta has similar locally owned places but even the big city of Atlanta can’t compete with this awesome store.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and explained how the service worked. $ 15 per dog but if you bathe both within the hour time limit, you get $ 5 discounted off. They offer 6 different shampoos for you to use which is way different from the ones in Atlanta because they offer just a standard one. They also have a door on the room and it’s enclosed so I played music on my iPhone while I bathed them so it was exciting for myself and the dogs. They offer towels and a bad ass (can I say that on here?) dryer which you can actually see it lifting the water from the fur while the air is being blasted.
The store offers lots of treats and different products for cats and dogs and I got the two pups some jerky and Thanksgiving cookies. I bathed my dog at the self serve wash I have here in Atlanta a few days ago and I kept thinking how much it sucked to the place in Chattanooga. I’m going to my friends this Thanksgiving and I already told him I plan on stopping by Nooga Paws, that’s how much I love this place because of value and convenience. Well done Chattanooga!

Nooga Paws is one of those locally-​owned businesses that makes Chattanooga great. Ask for the owner, Bob, and you can see he’s passionate about nutrition for our pets. I didn’t really understand anything about dog food a few years ago, but a quick discussion with Bob and it all makes great sense. They have a great selection of treats, the water additive that my dog needs to keep his teeth clean, and of course a food selection so you can get exactly what you want/​need. Bob actually steered me to a cheaper food than what I was using previously and he explained that it was every bit as good.
I use Taste of the Wild now, and each blend is formulated so that you can rotate every time you buy a bag. With a greyhound that’s not driven by food (half the time you have to coax him to come eat) it’s helpful to have some new taste every time. Chase loves the wild boar, salmon, and waterfowl especially.
Nooga Paws also has a freezer with dog bones. You will definitely make your dog’s day if you bring home anything from the little stand-​up freezer. They also have these big sticks that look like giant beef jerky… you don’t what to know what they are, but the dogs will love them.

I have been here twice. The first time, I didn’t receive a greeting back from any employee, but that was fine because I just wanted to walk around and orient myself to the store. The second time was better with an employee initiating the greeting and offering assistance. They have a good number of unique toys and pet gear. And the self dog wash area is also an asset. Picked up some peanut butter treats for my dog. At check out, I was asked if I found everything. I honestly replied that I didn’t see any vegetarian food (my dog is on a plant-​based diet), to which the young employee responded smugly, «Nope! You’re not gonna find any vegetarian food here. DOGS ARE CARNIVORES!» Actually no, dogs are omnivores. Regardless, it’s just stupid to respond to a customer request like that. In short, I like the treats. I recognize there are some good toys here. But I probably won’t return because they will never carry a food option for my dog.

If your furry friend is a much loved family member, then you need to visit Nooga Paws! Nooga Paws falls in line with what I consider to be the «spirit» of Chattanooga, healthy, natural, and environmentally conscious. The owners are lovely people who have obviously found their niche! The staff helpful, knowledgeable, & customer service oriented. Great selection of organic & all natural grain free dog & cat foods & treats. If bathing your dog at home is an ordeal, then bring him/​her here for a pleasant & convenient do it yourself bathing experience. My dog is do much healthier as a result of switching to a raw, grain free diet. The owners arrange for regular educational workshops as well. Great addition to North Chattanooga. My furry family members thank you for all that you do Nooga Paws!

Nooga Paws is the perfect store for any animal lover — well, dogs and cats. The store has every basic you could need for your pet and if they do not carry a brand you need they are happy to order it. One of my favorite things is how well educated the staff is on their products. I bought a gentle leader for my puppy and was having trouble putting it on him. I brought the leader and the puppy in and the staff fawned all over him (which he loved), gave him treats and taught me how to use the leader. I honestly think how friendly the staff is helped socialize my dog at an early age. You can expect your pet to make their Instagram too if you bring them in for a visit!
One of the best things here would be the washing stations. They have two rooms that you can bring your animal in to wash. The store provides brushes, shampoo, conditioner, towels and blow dryers. No clean up makes me a happy customer!
At Nooga Paws you can get pet food, leashes, collars, lots of fun treats, toys and more! Definitely worth a visit and bring your pet!

First off. we were not looking for a pet store when we came across Nooga Paws. We were checking out all the new growth in the North Shore area. We decided to stop in Nooga Paws pet store and we are very glad we did!
It is a locally owned, natural pet store. Its clean and packed full with products that are actually «good» for your pets. The staff is beyond knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We now have a new pet store in Chattanooga that we will be going to from now on…
Cali Baby is looking forward to using their self service wash station too!

Nooga paws is a locally owned store perfect for any dog or cat owner. We went in with our Great Dane on recommendation of a local. Bob and his staff provide the fantastic customer service that is sadly fading away in many businesses. We were politely greeted at the door and allowed to shop at our own pace. In talking to Bob, he knows the background and design rational of all the products so he was able to direct us to what we were needing. He is fun to talk to and enjoys meeting all the dogs that come through. There is also a self serve dog wash in the store which looks to be very convenient. It is located close to Greenlife and Rock/​Creek. Go check it out and support a local business! Your dog will love you for it.
