About Us

What We're All About

At Local Paws, we're not here to be the biggest and best pet store in the world.

We’re here to connect.

To create experiences.

To teach.

To inspire.

Each interaction with our human or pet guests we have is an opportunity to bring a bit of joy into someone's day. Joy that they can take with them and pass on to the people they interact with. You can’t use up joy. The more you share it, the more it grows. The joy you create with one short interaction can provide fuel for multiple people’s entire day.

Hospitality is a craft in and of itself. Our goal has always been to treat people as guests, not customers. Meeting each individual where they’re at, and leaving people feeling fully taken care of. To be of service is a privilege, and if we carry that mindset into whatever we do, there’s no limit to the impact we can have.

That's the Local Paws way!

The History of Local Paws

Local Paws is Central Oregon's newest health food store for dogs and cats. We are family owned and operated with a combined 28+ years of knowledge and experience in pet nutrition and health, We wanted to share our passion to help improve the quality of life of pets in our community and in October 2020 our mobile pet store was born and in May 2022 opened our doors to our brick and mortar location. We are excited to bring a local neighborhood pet store to the city of Redmond. We offer a large assortment of dog and cat food, frozen and freeze-dried raw food, treats, toys, supplements, supplies, and more! We put lots of love and careful attention in each product we carry. From our family to yours, thank you for welcoming Local Paws into the community!
