A Paw Above is a charming, densely stocked pet supply shop nestled in the Bavarian-themed village of Leavenworth, Washington — a town that reviewers note is remarkably dog-friendly. Owner Susie and her team (including Booker, the resident golden retriever and unofficial greeter) have packed an impressive variety of pet products into cozy quarters that mirror the tight, boutique-style shops lining the village streets. The store's inventory leans heavily into pet apparel, accessories, and premium treats.
Shoppers rave about the waterproof, reflective rain coats available in a wide range of sizes — one reviewer noted a hand-me-down coat that survived multiple dogs and countless adventures. Sports fans will be surprised by the depth of NFL gear for pets, with everything from Broncos jerseys to an array of team attire for dogs and cats of all sizes. Bavarian-style collars, bug-repellant bandanas, and breed-specific merchandise (including hard-to-find black pug items) round out the accessories selection.
The food and treat section earns particular praise. A Certified Pet Food Nutrition Specialist was impressed by the quality of offerings, noting that A Paw Above stocks genuinely healthy options rather than the cheap fillers common in small shops. The back fridge holds Primal brand goat milk, food toppers, and elixirs for kibble, while shelves feature chicken and carrot flavored cow cheeks and other specialty chews.
Kong products for aggressive chewers and Boss Dog harnesses with lifetime warranties are among the durable goods on hand. What truly sets this shop apart is the personalized service. Susie has been known to order specific bandanas so visiting tourists can pick them up before leaving town, deliver heavy bags of dog food, and even run purchases out to customers who can't find parking.
Staff member Natalie draws particular praise for her encyclopedic product knowledge despite her small stature. For anyone exploring Leavenworth with a four-legged companion, this is a store that treats every pet like family.

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.

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.

I realized Leavenworth is very dog friendly. Lots of souvenirs are dog-focused, not just this store. Got mg dog a Bavarian collar.

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)

We stopped by right before closing, the "Employee of the Month" (Natalie) cheerfully came around the cash register, that she could barely see over, and happily showed us various products. Don't let her blond hair and bright eyes fool you! This pint sized purveyor of pet products really knows her stuff! From aggressive chewer kong products, boss dog harnesses and leashes, (with a lifetime warrenty) to chicken and carrot flavored cow cheeks and game day pet jerseys she confidently relayed information and answered any silly questions I could come up with! Her knowledgeable and friendly demeanor will definitely bring us back when we are in the area.

The lady that was working in there today ran a big heavy bag of dog food out to the street to me in my vehicle because I couldn't find a place to park! She was awesome. And they've delivered it to me twice before this. They are great people!
