Land of Paws

AMAZING place!!! Great dog and cat merchandise !! So cute! Use to buy our dogs food there before they needed to be on prescription diet. Great selection of dog food, treats, toys, just about anything you would need for your dog or cat! NICE people work in this store and are very helpful!

Boutique Pet Store is what I would call it. Excellent selection of cat toys. A few higher end pieces of cat furniture. Lots of dog supplies as well. It’s a pretty big pet store. I’ll be back once my cat destroys the toy I bought for her.

I have to say, 13 years ago I did buy a puppy from this shop and she turned out to be the love of my life! I shopped everywhere for the right dog (from private breeders to rescues) but a little white Bichon at Land of Paws was born just for me. I never had any weird health or mental issues with this dog and was given papers and a name of the breeder when I bought her. I cannot say whether they buy from puppy mills or not and I know that pet shops that sell dogs are rumored to be a bad thing, but I now judge on the look of the place, the quality of merchandise and customer service … and also know this business is partially owned by the neighboring vet. I just had to say I scored the lottery when I walked into Land of Paws 13 years ago. I never regretted buying my baby from here for a second.

Land of Paws is one of my favorite places because we bought our second dog here… and she is awesome. She was in a kennel with 2 really noisy mini chihuahuas so we like to say we ‘rescued her’…I know it’s a bad joke…
It’s been a little under a year since we got her and we have gone back for food advice and anything else we can think of and the people who work at Land of Paws are so friendly and helpful.
I feel so Johnson County (no judgement JoCo… but I used to be a little more ‘urban’) saying this but, it’s fun to go in and look at the puppies and then shop around a little bit. Helpful friendly people, that’s really the bottom line and a really great memory of my darling pup.

The employees have always been personable and helpful. Wide selection of treats for my 3 kiddos, a little pricey but they’re worth it. I much prefer more boutique style pet stores to the big chain stores. I live out north near the Briarcliff location but that store is smaller and they don’t carry the treats I normally purchase at this location.

They sell puppies from puppy mills. Actual reputable breeders (and I’m not talking backyard «breeders» many of which have awful conditions worse than a puppy mill:
) do not sell to pet stores… they sell directly to the pet owner and the cost is often high with a waiting list (ever wonder why?). The owners of this establishment should know better even if some folks who buy puppies from them don’t. Puppy mills are really bad– so sad for many of female dogs that are bred over and over and never given any human love or contact just to be killed after their useful life or at best dumped in the countryside… not to mention health issues of the ensuing puppies and horrific conditions. Those breeding dogs have their spirit broken and that’s hard to do to a dog. Do your research people. Adopt or go through a reputable breeder… And yes breeders charge thousands for a reason and the pet stores significantly less. Why do you think that is? Where do you think the cost cutting shows up? And who do you think takes all the sickly puppies and mom the store didn’t want and nurse them back to health? …shelters.
Sad for this store that they can’t think beyond $$$ bc the merchandise is so freaking cute! I want to be able to shop there!!!
Please be a conscious consumer and at least read this article or many others on the topic before making a purchase at any pet store of a puppy.
. If land of paws gives you the name of the «breeder» do your own research and digging– maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you find and maybe not. In any case good to be an aware consumer! And now we see Petsmart also hosting adoptable shelter dogs/​puppies by partnering with shelters instead of selling purchased puppies! Maybe Land of Paws will follow suit and then I would be happy and excited to shop there! Local shelters in the area have TONS of puppies mixed and pure breeds that would love to be made available at Land of Paws!

I was very excited to walk into the store because I found many items that were high quality. Unfortunately I saw that they sold puppies in the back of the store. I will not be shopping here. Any place that cares about animals would not be selling puppies from puppy mills. For those of you «dog lovers» who are excited about the idea of a store selling puppies, I beg you to do your research on puppy mills, which is where ALL stores get their puppies no matter what they say. I rescue dogs (many from mills) and the abuse they suffer is heartbreaking. Please do not give these places your business.

I came in here to check out the merchandise for my fur babies. The place is gorgeous! There are items here that are just so fancy and beautiful, I knew that I would be breaking the bank. The prices here are a little steep so be prepared!
They even have puppies here! OMG! I had to play with them cause they just were so adorable.
I got really excited though because I have been looking for a lifejacket for my dog (I know, I am a dog lady) and they have the CUTEST ones. I am coming back to have my dog try some one, want to make sure it’s the perfect one and to check out the gourmet dog treats!

OK so I dropped the boys (two Golden Retrievers) off to be styled with the long hair being scissor cut and a de-​shedding process which I don’t remember the name of it. I’m very hopeful of getting clean dogs back that don’t shed as much as they did before.
They were nice enough when we came in and greated the dogs. They asked me how they could tell them apart. Rather than asking me to introduce them to each dog an assistant just came out and grabbed them and took them away.

They sell puppies. Didn’t realize that. Will never go back. It’s otherwise a nice store, if overpriced. But I would give zero stars if I could.

It’s the upscale pet store in town. But I do love it. They have really fun Halloween costumes for dogs. They also have one of the largest varieties of leashes I’ve ever seen. From designer fashion to the usual solid colored leash you will find it there.

Ok, so I have to be fair and update my new love for Land of Paws. I had an annoying first experience but I found myself going back… again and again. In my quest to shop small businesses, I have run into many pet stores and most of them come up short. Land of Paws has a great selection of treats and food. I have discovered the food I buy is cheaper than it is at the Brookside pet store. It may not be the cheapest place, or have the friendliest staff (although on one visit I had an entertaining conversation with a part time employee who was by far the friendliest employee I have encountered), but it has a great selection and it beats chain stores hands down.

Awhile back, we decided to put our dogs on a grain free diet. This probably means they are eating better than me, but I am not going to give up bread and cereal so … yeah.
Anyhow, the food is sold at pet stores throughout the metropolitan area, but not at larger locations. Land of Paws is one of many places selling the food and I decided to go there while I was running errands.
I’ve been here a few times and usually it’s to buy a fun toy for the dogs. One of our dogs loves tearing apart plush toys. Land of Paws usually has a few lines of super durable toys. Some have worked out better than others, but many have had long lives.
Today I was looking around and finally went and hauled up a big bag of the food. Immediately one of the people working at the store came and offered to take it to the register for me if I needed to do more shopping. As it turned out, I remembered that we were out of poop bags.
OK – so tangent … I think it’s important for people to pick up after their dogs when they are walking them or letting them run at the park. It’s a health issue … but also … have you ever been walking around a neighborhood and then got into your car and smelled poop and realized that someone didn’t pick up after their dog and left poop on the sidewalk? I have. That’s one of the reasons why when I am out with the dogs … I have extra poop bags.
Back to the review … so, the woman took the bag of food to the register while I picked up some bags and perused the dog bed options. The dog beds are nice, but pricey. I went to the register to pay. The cashier was friendly and chatted with me about my dogs. Then they offered to take the bag to my car for me. I appreciated the offer, but said I could handle it.
Overall, excellent customer service and a nice specialty store — especially when you want to do something nice for your dog!

I normally eschew puppies for sale by pet stores; however, when I wanted to find labradoodle and asked my veterinarian about finding a breeder, I was directed to Land of Paws. Although the puppies for sale here comprise mostly small dogs, there are often poodle and/​or poodle-​mix breeds. None of the puppies sold here are from puppy mills, and they are all well cared for and healthy.
The treats and toys sold here are available in a wide range of prices. I don’t believe in allowing my own dog to play with stuffed animal toys (just because it sets a bad precedent when it comes to my personal belongings), but there are some really cute things for sale here. Although I don’t believe in dressing my own dog in clothes, if you’re into that, this store has quite a selection. And, of course, there are treats! Oh the treats! I won’t lie: some of the doggy baked goods look and smell good enough to tempt the owners as well as our canines.

I am in love with this store! Some of the stuff is overpriced, but it’s so cute! I got the best Easter outfits for my dogs, a tutu dress and a t-​shirt. LOVE IT! My dogs are so stinkin cute in their Easter egg hunt photos. Thanks Land of Paws! Keep those cute clothes coming!

Walking in you think, overpriced, trendy, perhaps snobbish shop. Its all wrong. Yes, they carry some really expensive, over the top pet supplies and clothing, and have designer dogs, but some people want all that. I don’t go to Land of Paws for clothing. I go for treats and toys. They have a great selection of durable toys that my dog loves. They have fancy treats, training treats, and locally made treats. In fact, I buy Zukes from Land of Paws and they are cheaper than Petco. I really like their selection of ht Busy Buddy toys. My dog loves them, and they are virtually indestructible. Anyway, this is a great shop run by true pet lovers, with a wide variety of offerings.
In addition, the dogs they do sell are not puppy mill dogs and are treated wonderfully at the store.

So I remember a cover of Business Week that explained the booming pet industry and how it’s surpassing t.v. and movies with the profit level (I think we were spending over $ 41 billion per year…) With places like Land of Paws, it makes this number more of a reality.
I however, do not have a dog, and adore my little cat. So initially, I was excited to come in here – a huge specialty store that caters to my little love, but found this store loves dogs more than cats…(yes, I said that). When I asked the sales lady where the cat stuff was, she pointed to this teeny corner of the store near the entrance. That was it. I mean, I know cats are less maintenance than dogs and are pickier with their toys, but c’mon. If you’re going to call yourself Land of Paws, be fair… otherwise consider changing the name to Land of Pampered Dogs and Some Cats. If I had a rabbit, I’d be pretty pissed…
If you do have a dog and love to spoil them, then shop here. They have the cutest little human looking bakery treats, costumes galore, and plenty of interesting dog toys.
I will give props to Land of Paws because they carry the cat food brand I could only find at Whole Foods. Along with it, they offer to keep track of how much you spend, and at $ 150 they’ll give you a gift certificate for $ 10 to the store. I figure, I’ll spend that much anyway so why not get a reward? Of course, my selection to choose from is pretty miniscule…

This pet store is a hidden gem in Prairie Village. Located on the North side of the Corinth plaza, land of paws is not only a pet store, it is an animal lover’s one-​stop-​paradise. They have food, clothes, baked treats and everything else you can imagine for your dog, cat or other furry four-​legged friends.
They have kennels in the back where you can purchase any kind of hybrid lap dog you want. From «Shorkies» to «dachsu-​doodles,» these little balls of fur take turns napping adorable in their cages to cheerfully pawing at the plexi-​glass, while children yank on their parents pant legs, begging for the puppy of their dreams.
Prices are a little high compared to a corporate pet store, but the friendly service and unique experience are worth the extra change.

While Land of Paws had way cute dog-​wear and puppy bakery (see pics) the lack of cat-​ery is the reason for 3 stars. BRING ON THE KITTEN WEAR!!!
I came here with a co-​worker who bought another pup here, and had a fab time admiring all the puppies and dreaming of a day I could get one (2 cats + 1 dog = insane), plus the owners/​workers/​whoever had the freakin CUTEST English bulldog puppy at the front that I played with the entire time.
I doubt I’ll be back (don’t have a dog) but cute place to visit puppies!

I have a cat and most pet stores neglect the cat. They have a pretty good selection of cat toys and treats. They have a really good selection of beds for pets. They also have a ton of cute little outfits for dogs. Sometimes I end up buying dog outfits for my cat. I know, it is sad… but, it makes me laugh.
I agree, they are pricy. I guess they realize people will fork out the dough when it comes to their pets.
Go to the back and check out the doggies for sale!
