About
A Paw Above is a warmly run, densely packed pet supply shop tucked into the Bavarian-themed village of Leavenworth, WA — a town that visiting reviewers repeatedly call remarkably dog-friendly. Owner Susie and her team, along with Booker the resident golden retriever who greets shoppers at the door, have squeezed an astonishing amount of pet gear into cozy, boutique-style quarters that mirror the tight, charming shops lining the village streets. As one regular put it this summer, there's "A LOT of stuff packed into a small space," and half the fun is digging through it.
The selection leans into apparel, accessories, and premium treats. Shoppers love the waterproof, reflective rain coats — fashion-forward and built to last — available in Leavenworth, WA in a wide range of sizes for dogs big and small. Sports fans are delighted by the depth of NFL pet gear, including hard-to-find Broncos jerseys for both dogs and cats, plus Bavarian-style collars, bandanas, fun hats, and breed-specific finds right down to black-pug merchandise.
A recent visitor's pup "loved the dog ice cream" while its owner walked out with a new hat — a good snapshot of the playful inventory. The food and treat wall earns its own praise. A Certified Pet Food Nutrition Specialist was impressed to find genuinely healthy foods and toppers rather than cheap filler, including Primal goat milk and elixirs from the back fridge, chicken-and-carrot cow cheeks, and durable goods like Kong chew toys and Boss Dog harnesses backed by lifetime warranties.
Grooming tools round things out — one shopper's long-haired cat, Nazuko, "appreciates" her new brush. What sets the shop apart is the people. Susie will special-order a specific bandana so tourists can grab it before leaving town, and staffer Natalie, once named Employee of the Month, is known for knowing every product despite barely seeing over the counter.
For anyone exploring Leavenworth with a four-legged companion, this is a store that treats every pet like family.

— susanna s white5.03 months ago“Bought the pet brush long haired cats and dogs, and it was a great purchase. Nazuko appreciates it as it relaxes her and makes her self-care easier. The staff was friendly as well and the store is definitely worth a visit.”
— Padrino Brian5.03 months ago“Leavenworth is a dog-friendly so this shop can get crowded. This shop also has a wide variety of items and even sells dog treats. The staff are also friendly. If you're a dog owner/lover, it's worth it to stop by.”
— D B4.04 months ago“We came for an antler for our dog's birthday. They only had small antlers, but we found a water buffalo horn, which seems like a fair substitute. The shop is cute and staff were friendly. Would recommend this place.”
— William Carr5.06 days ago“We had such a great experience here! We had a drenched dog after the storm resolved but was still wet and needed a new coat that kept her warm. Not only did I find one, I found a fashion forward waterproof one! We love it and loved chatting with the owner! Will be back.”
— Lillian Godefroy5.0a month ago“I realized Leavenworth is very dog friendly. Lots of souvenirs are dog-focused, not just this store. Got mg dog a Bavarian collar.”
— Htx Xth4.0a month ago“We're always down to go into a pet store. You just never know what you'll find! We saw so many sports teams attire for the pets big & small; we were shook to see a variety of Broncos gear. Broncos gear in WA is not a common thing! We happily scooped up two Broncos jerseys for our cats & some Christmas cat treats. The ladies were nice too! (FYI: Of course it's tight quarters. That's how all the shops are in the village lol)”
