    Doggy Birthday Cake!

    We love Upper Paw! Always come here for our dog food and treats (best quality around) but recently found their dog birthday cakes just in time for the boys. Cathy is the absolute best and truly cares, you won't find anyone better. We can't say enough good things about Upper Paw!!

    My husky puppy turns 1 tomorrow! We had to get some treats for his big day! Unfortunately they were out of stock of the birthday cakes which really was a bummer because that's the whole reason we came. But we ended up getting another treat that said happy birthday on it. We also let him smell the bones and choose one he liked the most. No one else was here so we had the full attention of the one employee that worked there. I didn't catch her name but she was very helpful! We will be back

    Stumbled into this place while visiting Deep Ellum with my sister. I thought it would be fun to buy her dog a special treat (aunt points and all that). I was surprised when we made our way through the store to find they had a substantial selection of cat toys and treats as well... perfect as a peace offering once we got home to relieve our cat-sitting friend! As a bonus, they carry a great selection of goodies from small businesses! The owner told me people only offer up reviews if there's something they didn't like, so I said I'd write one regardless... happy to say, it's a good one!

    The best experience! My boy was extremely happy while he was there. I truly appreciate a place like this!

    Stumbled upon the Upper Paw after lunch at Pecan Lodge. They had everything you could think of for your pups at really great prices. Our dogs weren't with us that day, but I'm sure that they would have loved it. I would definitely recommend checking this place out, you and your pups will love it!

    This is one of my favorite pet shops I've ever been to! We got to meet one of the owners when we stopped in over Memorial Day weekend and she was extremely friendly and helpful. It was clear that she knew a lot about all of the products she stocked and was able to make great recommendations. I love supporting local businesses and spoiling my dog, but usually prices are very high in these type of stores - however, I definitely thought all of the prices were extremely reasonable for this business! They had a great selection of cat treats, toys, accessories, and food as well! I waited a couple of days to write the review so that I could use all the items I got, and the leashes she helped me pick out have been wonderful, the treats were yummy (or at least thats what I gathered from all the tail wagging) and didn't upset my dogs' stomaches, and the toys are great quality (since they are still in one piece after 48 hours with my dogs). Overall, I would say if I was a local, this would be my main shop since the owner was kind & knowledgeable and the prices are fair!

    Finally had a chance to go into this store, and is my new store. I used to have to go between Green Pet and the Pet Supermarket to get what we needed and order toys in Amazon because they are ridiculously priced everywhere else. Upper Paw actually carries all the different pet food brands we use and the toys are not overpriced. They had cute hand made dog cookies, lots of treats. I cannot say enough good things. The store was clean and the lady working was so nice. She let us try some traction socks on our dog before buying them. We got a giant bag of dental treats (wheat free!), an adorable handmade hair bow, three cute handmade cookies, three new toys, traction socks, and a new hair brush for $80. I had to stop looking because they just had too much stuff I loved. I can't wait to go back and I will be telling people about this store.

    They sell cute little things such as this Dallas Stars bandana! Have to represent our boys!

    I love bringing my dog here! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have a lot of cool treats, and are able to make both my dog and cats very happy with their selection. If you're looking for something they don't have, they'll even order it for you if they can. Whether you're a local or just visiting, make sure to stop in!

    This place looks really small from the outside, but it is actually pretty big! It had a lot of cute things for dogs and cats (toys, cookies, leashes, bows/bow ties). They had a refrigerated food section, cards, a Dallas sports team section, a brain stimulating toy section, and even a stroller/carrier section. Lots of good stuff in there. I had to get out before I spent too much money!

    Birthday Treats!

    Treat your pooch like a star. Good selection and helpful. Not a pets mart and not cheap.

    Nice variety of pet supplies. Great to shop at an independent store like the other big retailer chains. Open Sunday's, friendly service!
