Local Paws is not a fish store — it's a family-owned pet supply shop in Redmond, Oregon, focused squarely on dogs and cats. 9-star rating across hundreds of reviews, it has earned a loyal following among Central Oregon pet owners for its curated selection of high-quality foods, treats, supplements, and accessories. The store's real strength is its staff.
Reviewers consistently call out employees by name — Peggy, Anna, Mario — praising their patience, product knowledge, and genuine care. When one customer came in struggling with a senior dog's anxiety and mobility issues, staffer Anna walked them through CBD options, helped select the right dosage, and followed up afterward. That kind of personalized attention defines the Local Paws experience.
Another reviewer described how Peggy spent time with their shy dog Zeus, recommending a beef cheek roll he ended up loving. The product selection leans toward premium and health-conscious brands. Reviewers mention raw food options, limited-ingredient kibbles, brands like Nature's Logic, collagen bones, CBD products, and boutique-quality treats.
One customer compared the store favorably to MudBay for its range of healthier pet food options. Beyond food, you'll find winter coats, leashes, harnesses, collar tags, cat fountains, and squeaky toys. If something isn't on the shelf, staff can order it in.
Local Paws also offers local delivery — a convenience that several regulars rely on for recurring orders. The store is active in the local adoption community as well, which reviewers appreciate as a sign of genuine investment in animal welfare. The shop doesn't carry fish or aquarium supplies, so aquarists will need to look elsewhere.
But for dog and cat owners in Redmond and the broader Central Oregon area — including folks driving from Bend and La Pine — Local Paws has become the go-to alternative to big-box pet retailers, offering better product quality and vastly more attentive service.

Really great local pet shop. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they carry all the high-quality food and treat brands you’d expect from a boutique pet store (like MudBay). It’s a great spot if you want healthier options for your pets. The only downside for me was that they didn’t have replacement filters for my cat fountain — they mainly stock filters for the fountains they sell in-store. Not a huge issue, but something to know if you’re looking for specific accessories. Overall, love the vibe, love the staff, and I’m glad Redmond has a place like this.

BIG RAVE!! Local Paws in Redmond! Been going here for a while now and their customer service is incredible as well a their knowledge! Noticed my dog had an allergic reaction to lamb when I switched her from beef, because it's been less than 30 days I was able to exchange the lamb back to beef with no worries. I love this place and how well the take care of their customers and furry friends! 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
