The best prices on cat food in the city! Staff are always friendly. Definitely my favorite local pet store.

I pass by this shop everytime I get out of the PATCO station around the corner and walk to work. I always look for the black and white cat who sometimes sleeps in the bed in the front window so I can wave hello. One time walking home, the cat was just sitting in the doorway (it was open) and it was cute that across the street, the sushi place had outdoor dining and all the diners were keeping a sharp eye on the cat to make sure it didn't try to cross the street. Inside there are lots of pet supplies and yes, while prices are a bit higher, you are paying for convenience, for supporting a small local business, and I like the fact that you can pick up and feel items to decide if it's the right thing for your beloved fur kid. read more

My go-to for all things cat--great selection and welcoming environment. Absolutely saved me this holiday season when we needed a sitter last minute! We felt so grateful that we could relax and know our cat was in kind, caring hands. Couldn't recommend more. read more

The best pet-sitting, hands down -- thorough, caring, communicative and responsible. Our shy and elderly cat got the best of care from R., who also went above and beyond to take care of our house. We've used the service several times and recommend it highly. As well, the store always has what we need, including good advice on the right products to try. It's great to have them in the neighborhood! read more

We use Litterpaw mostly for its cat sitting services. We've gotten a few things over the years for our cat from the store and that's how we found out about the sitting service. Ilya, who is the owner, is the actual sitter. She has been phenomenal with being able to accommodate us (even in short notice). Along with that she leaves fun detailed notes about the visits and sends text/picture updates when she does visit. She always leaves his eating area and litter box area cleaner than how we leave it. I highly recommend Ilya! read more

I highly recommend them for pet sitting. I have three cats who get fed twice a day. One of whom also gets insulin. The kitchen area where they eat is always cleaner than I left it when I get back. There's always a report on how the cats did at each visit waiting for me on my return. My three are not big on change, but they always seem unfazed when I return. So I assume they're having, if not a good time, the same schedule and activity they have when I'm here. I live very close to the shop and they have been able to accommodate some last minute (I'm talking an hour or two) requests when I'm stuck at work or suddenly find myself not at home. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! Litterpaw is a block away from my apartment which makes carrying litter and kibble and toys home for my two cats quite easy. Every time I enter the shop, the shop owner or another clerk working are always perky and say hello. The service is superb--always. The prices are decent, sometimes a little high, but for a private pet shop selling only the most organic and nutritious food around for my cats, I can't really argue with it. And don't forget about Punky Brewster, the shop cat! She is a real sweetie and loves to be pet. Super cute shop and would recommend anyone with a dog, cat, bird, guinea pig/bunny/mouse/hamster or fish to definitely check this sweet place out! read more

Litterpaw's pet-sitting services are awesome. We have a parrot, a slightly unusual pet, but they were more than happy to visit him at our home twice daily while we were out of town. We got daily photos of him eating his favorite foods and came back to a sweet note detailing his daily activities. Most importantly, he was as happy as on the day we left. These services even included a free pre-sitting visit to get familiar with his foods, habits, and toys. Will definitely be calling Litterpaw and Monica again! read more

Just wanted to say how happy I have been with Litterpaw cat sitting the last two times I have used them! We asked for a sitter to come in daily to feed, scoop litter, and spend time with our kitty. We were fortunate to have Ilya come and spend time with our little guy. I am so relieved to have found this place - both times our kitty seemed totally relaxed and content when we got back from vacation! She sent periodic updates (with photos!) via text, and we were treated to notes when we came home recounting each day. The notes really show she was really enjoying spending time with our little guy! She also cleaned up some of the hairball messes our little guy left on our couches while we were gone and even brought up our packages. So thrilled to have found this place! It makes it easier to enjoy going away knowing our kitty is so well looked after. read more

Super friendly and knowledgeable. Took my puppy in to get a teething toy. Lady at the store directed and recommended a few great options. I ended up getting nylabone keys, which my pup is obsessed with. She also helped look up and recommend puppy training classes. Store is small and well organized. Prices were a tad high, but this was a spontaneous splurge so I don't mind. Would visit again if I need something on the spot. read more

I don't have any pets (unfortunately) but not too long ago, my dad asked me to babysit his cat while they went on vacation. They brought him over with all his food and a litterbox, but had forgotten a litter scooper and toys!! A quick yelp search brought me here and I'm so glad it did. When you walk in, you're greeted by a dog and cat that are the owner's pets, both very happy animals that don't mind attention from the shoppers. I couldn't find a scooper, but when I asked the cashier (who I think was the owner, but I'm not 100% sure) she gladly came around and found one for me. I also bought a flying feather thing and some catnip toys, one of which is shaped like a banana, that the cat loved! Yes, they're slightly more expensive than Petsmart, but you're supporting a local business and I feel totally okay about that. read more

If you have a service animal or an anxious pet, I would not recommend this store. Came in with my service dog just to look around, and I notice there is the owners dog free roaming. No big deal, we go on looking around. I let the dog in the store sniff at my service dog. The dog proceeded to growl and lunge at my service dog. The owner just laughed and didn't do anything. Spooky. read more

I am happy to be able to support a local pet supply store. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. I used to buy a digestive formula cat food for my cat at the supermarket, and they discontinued it. I stopped in Litterpaw to ask what they thought. The staff suggested Science Diet Digestion formula and it worked fabulously! It is even better than the other kind I was buying. Today I stopped by to pick up a bag and they were out. Oh no! But the staff woman was so kind to give me a baggie full of the food from an open/broken bag they had in the back! She wasn't even going to charge me for it! A little pricey, but the knowledge and kindness of the staff is what you're paying extra for. You really just don't get that at Petco or large chain pet stores. They also have a rewards program that you get $10 worth of treats. Cool deal! read more

I love it! This cute store has some of the most unique treats and goodies that I have seen in a long while!!! Diatomaceous earth! I went nuts when I saw it! Halo Herbal Flea dip! Awesome! And they even had my kitty Krampus' favorite type of play balls!!! Its small, but it has such a great vibe!!! I'm sold. And do you know what the best part is???? No more giving my money to mean-spirited, money-grubbing, competitors who are notorious for treating their employees like flushable wipes. Long live Litterpaw!!!! I am a groomer up in No. Libs at You Dirty Dog DIY Dogwash - and from here on in - I will be sending all my clients there for their food and treats!!! read more

I love this little store. The owner & personnel r extremely helpful. When you walk into the store, u get a feeling the store is from the 30's. The prices r a bit higher than Amazon or Chewy, however they r not robbers & I like the fact its SMALL business & not a chain. Check it out. I think you might b pleasantly surprised. read more

Very cute little store. Even though they are little, the selection is perfect for my shih tzu's needs. They have a nice array of organic foods and products (shampoos, toys, etc...) So far, I've been there 3 times and every time has been a pleasant experience. The prices are fair, and I hope they stay and continue to grow! read more

It's hard being a cat owner. It's not exactly Full-O-Fun. There are no cat parks, cat leashes (i'm being reasonable here, i've tried it and it's just not - NOT - good), cat clothes (an experiment in humiliation), cat baked goods, cat meetups, cat playdates, - face it, it's just not as parent-like as dog ownership. That being said, pet store perusing fun is also limited for cat moms and dads. Inventory is heavily slanted towards the canine, and I understand this when I go into a petshop. But THIS little shop, owned by very nice young peeps who keep their cat on the counter, is fantastic nonetheless. I went in on a search for interesting cat food receptacles and to inquire about cat grooming. They answered all of my questions the best they could, looked up some stuff on the internet right there, and showed me what they DID have. The store is small and for being a mom and pop shop, their prices are surprisingly reasonable, so I will be back, if only for the stellar customer service. They sent me off with enough pouches of dry food samples to last my cat a solid month, and I am taking stock of my girl's likes and dislikes for later, when I WILL indeed return to purchase high end food from Litterpaw. Because they deserve it. Today they are hosting a pet adoption event. And yes, I am going. I may end up with a new friend, I my not. But I like playing with fate. read more

A friendly, neighborhood pet store with a supply of cat & dog toys, food, clothing, excessaries etc., as well as a knowledgeable staff that will help you find what you want for your fur- baby. They also have a really sweet store cat - that welcomes you into the place. I found them on yelp, great reviews brought me here, so here I am coming full circle to write them up another good review ( : I would especially recommend Litterpaw for their extensive selection of pet cloathes to dress up your pooch for a costume party, animal parade, or just for no reason at all, but fun. I'm always glad when I come here. read more

I'm very excited that Litterpaw opened up in my neighborhood. They just had their grand opening last weekend, and are getting in more and more supplies for my little man every day. The owners are super receptive to stocking whatever customers ask for. They are going to start supplying Merrick dry food just because we asked. That's what a neighborhood store is all about, great service! If they don't stock what you want, just ask to see if they will get it for you! read more

The sales lady was nice and helpful, but not pushy. She asked if I needed anything, answered my questions, and left me be to browse. The store had my cat's food (Nutro Max) in stock and for the same price I pay at PetSmart. Great to know that there is a pet store close by that has the essentials! read more

Stopped in while walking around the neighborhood, and realized I had seen them on Twitter. Really cute shop, with a thoughtful selection of products for dogs and cats, including a lot of natural and organic foods, and very competitive pricing. Enjoyed talking with the woman (I believe the owner) at the counter about the neighborhood, her puppy (which hangs out in the store), and being New York transplants. We ended up buying a harness for one of our cats. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in that area. read more

I heart Litterpaw! This place makes me happy to support local small businesses. The owners are super nice and very receptive to suggestions on what to stock. Not that I really have any: they already carry Natural Balance, which makes them the only store in town besides Petco. I also appreciate that they devote equal space to cat stuff. Most pet boutiques are pretty dog-centric. read more

We were out of dog food and I was in the area and called to see if they had the brand that I needed. The nice sales associate offered me what they had in stock and what sizes. I went to the store and when I went in to the store and looked at the dog food, she asked if I was the one who had just called because she had set aside a bag for me! Although I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have had a run on the dog food, it was a nice thing to do. My dogs food (merrick) isn't the easiest to find and she mentioned they could always special order it for me which was nice to know and gives me a piece of mind my furry child will never go without her beloved food! If it wasn't in a rush I would have checked out the other fun stuff in the store! I most certainly will next time, because they have a permanent customer! read more

What an awesome company! I needed a kitty sitter for a few days over a holiday weekend. I saw all the great reviews and tried it out on very short notice. There ended up being no available sitters so the owner took the initiative and watched the kitties. She did an outstanding job! Left a note for each day and even came back twice one day when the elevator in my building wasn't working. She even called maintenance to have it fixed so she could feed the kitties. I was so so so impressed. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone! read more

I love Litterpaw. I am giving 5 stars because I have always had a good experience and am a regular customer, returning every time I need something for my cats or guinea pigs. Pros: Convenient location Super friendly and helpful staff (but not in-your-face if you just want to browse) Nice selection of brands and types of food/litter/etc. Resident dog and cat are both really friendly and sweet Crazy Cat Lady Friday! 10% off cat litter every Friday Customer loyalty card/thingy - it's not actually a card but they keep track of how many times you come in to purchase dog or cat food and then at some point you get something free... honestly not sure because I haven't bought a lot of food there, usually get it in bulk online so I don't have to carry it home :P Cons: Although the selection is good, they tend to have a small quantity of each item, so they don't always have what you want in stock. --- The way they make up for this is that you can place a special order for whatever product you need and pick it up when it comes in (although I have never actually done this, they have offered when something I wanted wasn't in stock). That's it. All in all this place is great, and I am happy to have a quality pet store that is locally owned where I can get all of my pet supplies. read more

Really cute pet supply store! They had a nice selection of pet toys, treats and food. I was looking for a small gift for a cat owner, and definitely had a lot to choose from. They owner of the store was really helpful in pointing me in the right direction and showing me specific cat toys and how they worked. read more

I used Litterpaw for cat sitting and I was very happy with the services. The sitter left notes at the apartment for when I returned detailing what she did each day and texted me photos each day - which I really appreciated. Will use them in the future! read more

I love this place! Service is always super friendly and they always have what I need. On Fridays you can get 10% off cat litter and if you are a PAWS member you get 10% off treats any day. The girl working on Thursday and Friday is very passionate about her job and occasionally takes cares of kittens, making sure they find a loving home. Their food and toy selection is great too. read more

I just don't have any reason to come in here again. The first time I even realized it was a pet shop, I'd already had an unpleasant experience. Granted, I was taking a creep shot of the cat in the window (it's something I do, okay?). I wasn't being particularly intrusive, and I took note of and abided by the sign that said to not tap on the window/disturb the cat. The shop was dark. A lady approached the door, and while she unlocked it, the cat woke up and moved away. I said 'aww', and she snapped back 'yea he doesn't like that'. Okay. When my Doggie Style at 13th and Sansom moved to 10th and Pine, I was crestfallen over the new, longer trek this meant for me (I know, I know, proximity! the devil of me!), and while I was reluctantly on my way to Doggie Style, I remembered this little shop. I decided to pop in to see if I could find the cat foods I wanted, since, you know, it's just a litttlllleeeee closer. The sign said they should have been open. They weren't. The lady I recognized from before sauntered up the street with a friend. She proceeds to open the door, chatting with her friend the whole time. They moved into the store, I followed. I did not get so much as glanced at by either of them. Okay, I might have gotten glanced at, I can't definitively say. Anyway, they did have my cat's wet food, but their selection was wanting (he's very particular about texture...) so I left. Last time I stepped foot in here was because I'd found a litter that really worked for me on chewy.com and wanted to find a local place that carried it. I'd already learned my lesson and checked Doggie Style first. I even called Unleashed to see if they had it in stock. No luck, well, I'm in the area, I decide to give Litterpaw a shot. The store is poorly lit, only about 70% stocked, and abysmally so at that. From what I could see they didn't have it, but a female sales associate (not the lady I've seen previously) offered the idea that perhaps the bag form and the box form contained the same product, and the packaging was "just different". She became pretty sure of it in a sentence or two. I was skeptical, but hey, I don't work at a pet supply store. I am grateful for her help, and decide on a whelm to buy a new litter box as well. These items were surprisingly inexpensive, there was small talk, all has apparently gone swimmingly. I get home, and the litter is completely wrong. Not only was it not the litter I specified to her, it was one of the worst I've ever tried. The odor control is not there. The tracking is worse than ever. Usually when I try out a new litter I stick with it for as long as the container lasts, just to give it a fair chance. I threw this litter out after putting up with it for a week. The money is immaterial, but I'm annoyed that the sales associate led me to believe that it was the same litter as the one I sought. This happened because she was at best incompetent and at worst intentionally deceptive. As it stands, this place is only a block away from Doggie Style, and DS has the advantages of being incomparably better stocked, and having friendlier, more helpful and better informed employees. read more

Awesome selection of pet foods and sports gear for my dog. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. They even special ordered some food that one of my organic friends recommended and still can't pronounce the name, but they got it for me. read more

I stopped by Litterpaw because they were the only store in town that carried the kind of food that the vet had suggested for my cat Beaker (in the interest of transitioning Beaker over to a hypoallergenic diet), which was the Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck Formula. When I arrived, I was greeted by both a friendly sales associate (whose name I didn't catch) and the super-friendly shop dog, Bailey. Litterpaw carries a wide range of food, toys, personal care items, accessories and much more for both dogs and cats, and much to my delight, they had the cat food I was looking for, both in wet and dry varieties. I ended up buying a bag of dry food and a few cans of wet food just to see if Beaker would like it, and surely enough, she LOVES the wet food more than anything I've ever fed her! In addition, I was told that there is a loyalty program for customers who purchase bagged cat or dog food--just give the sales associate your name and your pet's name and they'll log every purchase which will go towards rewards! Thanks Litterpaw! I will definitely be back for more of Beaker's new favorite wet food! read more

My local yokel store. They don't have a huge selection of items but can order anything you need, and will consider keeping customer requests in stock. Orders typically only take a couple of days to arrive. In addition, late evening hours are very convenient for us working stiffs. Excellent addition to the neighborhood. read more

Excellent selection of natural cat foods with friendly, knowledgeable service. Love supporting my local independent pet store!

I couldn't be happier than to have such a great family-owned pet store so close by. The staff has been very helpful and friendly each and every time I've gone in the past year-and-a-half. They've given me great suggestions for my dog, and-- the best part-- they are very open to suggestions. Need something ordered? They'll get it for you. Tell them about a great product? They'll bring in several to try it out. I've found they're eager to please and grow with their customers (unlike the rather indifferent folks at Doggie Style, and defintely not like those miserable staffers at AoA on South St!). read more

the girl at the counter was super nice and helped me figure out what i needed and also gave me advice on food for my cats. she gave me a couple of options to choose from and left the decision up to me. i really appreciated the friendly attitude and willingness to help me, thanks! read more
