Paws & Claws Etc

Super friendly place… they are always smiling and asking if they can help you find something. You can bring your dogs in so it’s always nice because they give your pup a little treat… even though my dog is a treat whore and will go back over and over and try to give paw for another one. Like an damn addict.
Anyway, great selection of toys, treats, other dog accoutrements. They carry brands you can’t get at petsmart or petco. And they have a deal about buying a certain number of bags and getting one free. It’s not the bare bones (pun intended) cheapest place to go– but we have no problem paying a few extra dollars to support a local business that cares about its community.
And about the carpeted area not allowing pets… there is CLEARLY a sign. Because they have probably had accidents in the past which triggered putting up the sign. It’s an odd thing to bitch about in a review.

They are amazing they know their products and can help you through the decision-​making process of selecting whatever need you might have for your pet. Great locally owned family business. I can’t tell you how many issues they resolved (diarrhea, hairball etc.) through the 4 years I have been a customer for my two cats and one dog.
Also their prices are right on track with all other pet stores in area and over the bridge.
Personalized service is not a thing of the past here highly recommend them!

We happened on this place by accident and glad we did. Our inquiry about a harness turned into a lengthy conversation in which we learned many new things about a specific issue we were having our dog. She knows more about our dog than our vet does! Employees here are truly professionals not just salespersons.

The best local pet store in the area. Owners are very nice as are the employees. If they don’t have something they will order it for you. The room with carpet clearly has a sign indicating no pets. Support local business.

Wish I could give more stars for this local shop. Have visited on two separate occasions, even a year apart… and still, very weird experiences.
Went in with my dog to get some Zuke’s bones and we noticed a life-​size stuffed dog in an adjoining room of the shop. As we started to walk in, we were startled by an employee who told us that dogs were not allowed in that room because it was carpeted. I apologized, and walked immediately out of the room. Seemed very strange for a pet store to have such a rule. There was not a sign posted anywhere stating such.
The employee did offer to hold my dog’s leash so I could go into the room with carpet, but I was not interested in shopping in the other room without my dog.
I observed that customers here are treated differently. I am not sure if it is based on looks, age, or even frequency of visits, but on both occasions of visiting Paws and Claws, this was definitely practiced.
