Natural Pawz

Beware buying any gift card there. Before they slip it into the envelope read the terms on the back of card. Shady this time of year it seems.

I’d been wanting to try this place as I frequent the Menchie’s next door. I was shopping for a new leash and wanted something a little different. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for and I didn’t feel like the price was too bad.
It’s a unique pet store, so if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary this is definitely your place to go. Expect to pay a little bit more but it’s definitely worth checking out. They have a barkery with birthday treats so come February I’ll have to bring my little dog back here.
Pet friendly, of course.

The most important reason why I come here is they always have my dog’s food in stock. The staff here is nice but occasionally some staff isn’t very helpful. I don’t think this is big issue but it could be for some of you. The prices are pretty fair as well. Its competitive to the other stores.

This place is great! As of right now this place is the only pet store I know to have cupcakes for dogs. They also have the jerky I’ve been looking for everywhere. I was greeted, I had some questions she answered all of them & gave me some helpful tips. I will be back soon. I saw some dog beds I might get :)

I love Natural Pawz! I know they care about where/​how their products are produced & I’m glad they’ve been able to expand thought Houston. I’ve visited many locations, but this is the closest to my house.
They always have my dog food in stock– Fromm’s whitefish & potato. They track how many bags you buy & once you’ve bought ten of the same type/​size bag you get the next one free! It’s in their system so every location can see your totals, which is really great for the consumer!
This location has good parking & a nice layout, though it is smaller than some other locations.

Hit or miss. Sometimes I get greeted and asked for help, sometimes I get ignored and feel annoying for asking for help. Good selection of food for all breeds, ages and concerns. Adorable and tasty treats for your pooch, crates, bowls, leashes, vitamins, etc.
I’ve been here a couple of times and haven’t returned since visiting Molly’s Mutthouse which is more affordable and a lot more helpful.

The treats out the counter were delicious! Ok so I didn’t eat them but my dog loved them. Sometimes I think my dog eats healthier than me (probably does) thanks to natural paws! Good selection on different food you don’t find at typical shops. Prices were a little expensive but still reasonable.

Love this place for my puppy! I usually go to the River Oaks location but I was in the Heights area so stopped in to pick up a few things. The sales people are so helpful and they always have the most adorable dog treats. I bought a bag of treats, a bully stick and some fresh baked treats for my dog on this visit. They also do custom dog tags for $ 15 in all shapes and colors which I ordered on this visit. Excited to get it in the mail!

Love stopping here as it is on my way home and so close to my Doggie Day Care and home. The staff is always super friendly and offer up suggestions on what to look for and try. Currently trying to transition my puppy to a new dog food and they were amazingly helpful. Plus — buying dog food every two weeks they always help to carry things out to my vehicle and I get every 10^th bag free. :0)

They’ve always helped me with my elderly dogs food options and carried the food to my car for me! 10^th bag is actually free!

We’re particular about what we feed our dogs and want them to be fed well. Natural Pawz pretty much carries most of the top brands for high quality dog kibble, wet food, and treats that you won’t find at a PetsMart. They also carry other everyday items you would need. Overall a good store, friendly staff, and I feel they’re fairly priced.

Small but I found everything I needed… and was happy to see a variety of items made in the USA… down to the poop bags! All poop bags at the big stores are made in China… seriously depressing and pathetic:(I will be a permanent customer here.

You can’t ask for much more out of a pet shop. Pretty much everything you need for your pup. Mostly a store for dog lovers. The people that work here are so friendly and genuinely care about the well being of your dog. Always with treats and are so knowledgeable.
Just about anything you will need diet wise all healthy and really not that much more expensive than the big box stores. Toys and treats of all kinds. They do adoptions many weekends. The pet store for the heights. With my new pup I will be a regular here.

This Natual Paws is close to my work place. I come in every 2 weeks buying dog food. Natural Paws is a great place for pet owners to buy great quality of dog food. If you have a question of what type of dog food to purchase, the staff are very helpful. They answered all of my questions and plus this is about one of your family member — your pet. I don’t see it being pricer at all. I believe it is what you pay for. I rather have my 2 wesites healthy and their coat skinny and free from allergies. The food here is well worth it.

Great place to pick up high quality pet supplies from a local business. Knowledgable staff and a good selection of cat food and toys.

Natural Pawz in the Heights is definitely the place to go if you have a cat or dog that requires or that you want to feed a healthy diet. They have a great selection of healthy dog foods and treats and the staff is always super helpful.
Some weekends can be a little crazy as they host pet adoptions, but it’s always a pleasure to see a store doing so much to help out and that is truly full of caring and compassionate pet owners.
I highly recommend them over the large chain pet stores for all of your pet care needs.

This review is specifically for the W 19^th location of Natural Pawz.
This location of Natural Pawz is the newest incarnation of Heights Urban Dog (for which I also wrote a glowing review). The owners continue to show a sincere love of animals throughout their business, raising money for local animal groups, sharing their space for animal adoptions over the weekends, and recently even taking in a litter of puppies that were found a midst the destruction of the Bastrop fires, caring for them until they could find good homes.
Are the prices the best? No, you’ll pay a few bucks more, but they ARE competitive– and in exchange you help support a local business and get very high quality goods. The staff is wonderful, and while they might not always remember YOUR name, they’ll know your pet instantly. It’s a convenient place to buy frozen raw food for your dogs (and cheaper than nearby Wabash Antiques). Nearly all the dog food is American made for extra peace of mind and the selection of grain-​free foods is extensive.
Honestly, I can’t speak highly enough of this place and it’s a valuable addition to the Heights. I’d be sorry if it every decided to shut down or move!
ADDENDUM: Reading over the other reviews, wow, I can’t disagree with Charlie K. enough. Never have I had an experience at Natural Pawz that made it feel like it was becoming «a chain», I’ve interacted with the same staff for over a year now and know them on a first name basis, and find everyone I interact with there to be knowledgeable and caring!

Prices are not very competitive, but for even at $ 2 dollars more per bag of dog food (I buy Natural Balance’s line of Limited Ingrediet Diet foods), I go here out of convenience. Just make sure you get there early as they close at 8 on weekdays!
The store is super small, but they have an excellent selection of natural dog food to accommodate most diets. My dog has responded to Natural Balance really well for the past 3 years, but I went ahead and asked about the other brands they offered. The staff introduced me to some new lines and sent me home with heaps of samples (huge bags I might add).
They also have a small case of freshly baked dog treats catered from a few local pet bakeries. Extra large birthday biscuits for your furry companion’s special day!
The staff are SUPER friendly and most importantly they love and dote on my dog every time she comes in.
I’ll still go to Petco for dog food (better deals, good selection of natural food) but I’ll still come to Natural Pawz for the occasional dog treat or whenever I run out of dog food and can’t be bothered to drive to Montrose.

Previously Heights Urban Dog one block over on 20^th St., this local pet shop is well managed with friendly staff and great products. While a little bit pricey (think: thirteen dollars for a bag of small treats), a good chunk of their selection is organic and always hand-​picked to be on the shelves. This isn’t PetSmart, people.
I came here to find a gift for a friend and was shocked at how personable the lady who helped me was. Call me calloused, but I have come to expect very little of most retail workers (but am always very happy when they exceed that admittedly dismal view). This is the beauty of local shops, though! They CARE! I walked out of there with three products for twenty-​one bucks and I’m sure my friend’s dogs will be very pleased.
Other things that struck me: their treat bar, like a display case of desserts for four-​legged friends, their equal attention to kitty cats, their product knowledge, and their care to detail when selecting what to sell to customers. By the way, they carry hard-​to-​find and obscure items from local merchants, so your little pal will have fresh, unprocessed yum yums.
Go! You’ll be happy you did.

I stopped in with the intention to «just look» and was really impressed with the products and knowledgeable staff! I ended up getting some local jerky (no salt) called Chef’s Buddiez and a ton of samples. I was really impressed with the freeze dried raw food like Stella and Chewy’s (sp?) that my dogs just LOVED!
I’ll be back!
