Paws

A good store for dogs, but selection is very limited for cats. If you need basic things like food you will find it here. They mostly carry healthy and grain free brands :)

Update: Lisa called me today to follow-​up and see how we liked Maggie’s haircut. That’s the first time I’ve ever had a groomer call us to check in the next day — seriously wonderful! Beyond 5 stars. :-)

I LOVE LOVE it here! Both my babies are very special. They get the best quality foods, treats etc. If you feel the same about your furry family member this is the place to go. Top notch service. I always receive information from staff and learn something new. They carry all natural foods including what I feed mine, FROMM. Also purchased a very unique and pretty handmade harnest for my baby girl. The very helpful lady who helped me even let me take snapshots of her putting on the harnest to a model dog step by step so I wouldn’t forget how to do it. Because knowing me I would lol. I couldn’t say more good things about this place, they definitely have a customer here! ME

Places like this are as good as it gets. With the big box pet supply houses (petco, petsmart etc) having a major impact, places like this often get pushed aside.
Thankfully, I stopped here to buy a few products and get my dogs groomed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the groomer did a GREAT job. They also have a wider variety of foods and make specific suggestions on what to give your dog if they have certain issues. This kind of service isn’t available in the big box stores so please make sure to support this place.

After saving up some money I went in today to buy the dog food they recommended me to buy for our dogs. The lady who helped us checkout was much nicer today which made it an easy, pleasant quick in and out shopping trip.
Oh, for those that are curious we bought two nutrisource 5 lb bags, one seafood and one lamb flavor. It was cheaper than ordering from amazon which was nice also.

Great people there! We get our dog food there and saved money vs ordering from amazon. (taste of the wild plaines)

I needed a grooming tool to strip my border terrier, Murrie, so we set off for Paws to see what they had.
It’s a pretty store: spacious, clean, and well organized. To the right is a grooming area.
So what if it doesn’t have as wide a selection like you’ll find at the impersonal, discount, national chain stores? Because it t IS just what you want: a few well-​chosen, quality items in each category.
For example, not a ton of shampoos to choose from, but only good brands. In fact, Paws had the best choices from my favorite brand, Earthbath (they make over a dozen kinds of shampoo; I think Paws carried 4 or 5 of them). Not a ton of toys, but she had all but one of Murrie’s favorite hide-​a-​treat toys, and a few cool ones we had not seen before. (Yes, she picked out a new one, and yes I bought it.)
I used to work at a pet food store, so I consider myself a bit of a snob when it comes to dog food and treats. Right off, I noticed they had my favorite brand of almost-​raw food, the dehydrated powder food by Honest Kitchen (just add water!). You don’t find it most places, but the owner had it right near the register, in front of all the other food. So this lady knows her stuff!
She also had my favorite national brand, Innova (which makes California Natural, Evo, and Healthwise, which is the best pet food you can get at that price.) My dog also like Merrick’s canned food, and she had a few of their many many flavors. I like these companies because they control their own buying, production, and quality control — unlike almost all other brands that farm it out to the same guys. (So yes, most high-​end health foods for pets are made at the same facilities as the scary supermarket stuff.)
I was pleased to see she also had Weruva, which you don’t find everywhere — this stuff is, the animals tell me, the tastiest stuff you will find in a can. Got a picky eater? Try Weruva. Paws doesn’t have all the flavors (they make a ton), but its enough to try and tempt that olé’ cat of your into eating it something besides Chicken of the Sea or wean your dog off table scraps.
And if you and your pet are into raw food, she has that, too. If you haven’t tried it, think about it. (If your pet has chronic health problems — itchiness, hair/​coat problems, digestion issues, weird odors, weight problems, cancer or auto-​immune disease — then you should really think about it. Hard. I’ve heard miracle stories many times. But I digress…)
The treats here are the ones I look for — not all of which I can remember, but the most important one is VItal Essential’s freeze dried bits. The lovely owner was out of stock at the time, but said she would add it to her next order.
The lovely owner also helped me find a grooming tool (remember? yes… that’s right: I came for a grooming tool…) A flat, square, pumice-​like stone for the rough coat of my border terrier. I still have to do the stripping by hand (that means I have to pull the outer-​coat hairs off with my fingers. Fun!), but I used the square this afternoon, and tons of Murrie’s top coat came right off without any discomfort to her. This will definitely speed up the process, which will make both of us very, very happy.
I should mention that Murrie the border terrier loved it there, too. And when our enthusiastic greeting with a beautiful white German Shepard resulted in some excitement pee (Murrie’s) and drool (the shep’s), the store owner obligingly and quietly came up behind us and wiped it up, no judgement.
I’ll be back when we run out of Honest Kitchen food. And I’ll look forward to it.

This is my favorite pet shoppe ever! They have a wonderful selection, competitive prices, and great service. What is better is that they really care about animals and are constantly helping the local animal shelter and rescues. When you visit the store, you will often find shelter pets on display. I am a foster parent at the local shelter, and I buy all my healthy, grain-​free food there for my foster kittens as well as for my dog. I’ve bought specialized leashes, eco-​friendly digestible kitty litter, and other supplies there, and their prices are always better than the chain stores! If you want compassion, quality, and value, then definitely shop at PAWS Pet Boutique.

When we were feeding kibble, this was the only place in town where I could find Orijen. I don’t remember how much it was but it was cheaper than Amazon (after shipping).
They have tons of other stuff for the obsessed dog lover also. The only thing that gets to me is that they don’t have every style of clothes in every size, so sometimes you’ll see something cute and won’t be able to find it in the right size for your pup. However, the selection they do have is quite tasteful. The lady who’s been there when we come in has always been friendly and helpful.

PAWS has a great selection of natural and organic pet food, as well as an inventory of cute collars, ID tags, and pet clothing. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and eager to assist. If they don’t have what you are looking for, Emma (one of the owners) will order it. PAWS also offers a wide variety of community programs to raise money and awareness for animal shelters and charities. You can bring your pets to shop too!
