We love this pet store! We've purchased two different types of food for our pup from them. Delivery is really easy or we can stop in to pick up a bag if we forget to order in advance. They also have fun toys, treats, and extras for dogs like hiking harnesses, collars, etc. Our pup loves going in and getting a treat too!

The store is well organised. The girls I have dealt with in the past are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Mariah goes out of her way to make sure that you understand what product you are feeding your loved one. I appreciate the kindness that is given to each customer. Great location will have to visit the other one to give my product a spa day.

Our favorite pet store and the only place we purchase dog food for our pup! The workers are knowledgeable and helped advise on the best food for our dog. We trust them and know their products do not contain anything harmful for dogs.

Cute local shop with a great selection of quality pet foods, supplies, treats, and toys. They have items you can't always find at the big pet supply stores.

I had heard great things about this shop and it's products, from its prices to the quality of their products. So I decided to come check out the shop myself, although it was not the biggest pet shop that I've been to. It is definitely one of the cleanest, most well organized and well staffed pet shops that I have ever been to. They blow big companies like Petsmart and Petco right out of the water!

I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of different products they had for cats and for dogs! I found exactly what I needed for my pet; and I did have a few questions about a few treats but the employees made sure that I was informed of what I was purchasing and how it would affect my pet which was extremely helpful. The employees are extremely friendly and will help you if you have any questions.

I highly recommend if you have a dog or cat and live in the nearby area or if you Just want to check out a new pet shop that has amazing quality products for your pet then this is the place to come to! The prices are very fair and it's very easy to find parking! But the most important thing is they will make sure that you leave satisfied!

We absolutely love going into this store. We live in Olde Town, so we stop in quite a bit on our walks. All the employees are so friendly, and know our dog when we come in. When we were switching dog foods, they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all the brands they carry. We've gotten many toys and treats from here as well, all high quality and top notch for our pup. I cannot recommend going into this store enough, even if you don't live in the area!

One of my favorite stops in Old Town Arvada. I can usually find some special treats for my fur babies whenever I am in town.

People like Austin S. (who gave the three star review if you scroll down a little) are so self-entitled that they really take the time to leave a bad review because they didn't receive a proper greeting as soon as they walk in. Dude, the world doesn't revolve around you, this place is great. Just because they don't have TWO brands out of all the brands out there, and didn't acknowledge your "holiness" when you walked in, doesn't mean this is a three star shop, you idiot. Also, the sign you took a picture of to post on your review, is meant as a JOKE. You'd get that if you weren't so up your own ass about life.

Sorry you're such a stick in the mud, bud! Hate seeing bad reviews on awesome places over the dumbest things. Keep up the good work Paws n Play, you guys will always be my go to neighborhood pet shop

Been coming here for over 3 years since moving to the area. Small shop but concise layout that makes finding things simple once you've been in once or twice. What I love most, having a pitbull I understand the stereotype and terrible prejudice the breed sees. Since the first time I went in I have felt welcome, and my girl absolutely loves going in there. She will pull me from scrumptious all the way there!

Love this place! The owner has been incredibly helpful finding the right food for my senior dog who now requires a special diet. All my dogs are living and eating healthier since I have shopped here. Great service and great products.

No Mouthfuls or Simpawtico but If you reside nearby and want to stay away from Petsmart this is your store! About the size of smaller owned pet stores in the area. Pets are welcome inside of course, well behaved pets. Frozen, dry, and fresh food. Loads of treats of all varieties and protein types. Training items, collars, leashes, and harnesses galore.

My only qualm with this place is the friendliness of the owner. Been in and walked by many a time and each time he seems too bothered to welcome us. Either too busy on his laptop or at the register to acknowledge us as customers. This doesn't include times where other customers were even in the store! If I'm walking with the pups in Olde Towne and I wanted to get some treats right then I would stop in again. Otherwise I'll suggest this location to others and hope they have a better experience than we've had.

By far the best pet store in the area. Bob, the new owner, is always adding new items (many CO made items) and constantly looking for ways to improve an already great store. He makes sure that the items you need are always in stock and tops it off with great, friendly service. Keep up the good work Bob.

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, all of which having varying dietary and entertainment needs. I love coming here for the must haves for my elderly husky with a sensitive tummy and also pick up the greatest toys to keep my criminally insane felines from taking my house down. Everything is all natural, safe and fun tested by real animals. The owner is the kindest man.

He always is respectful and has kind words, great information, helpful suggestions and smiles to share. I'm very grateful there's a fantastic local business such as this that I can support and properly spoil my fur babies.

We moved here from out of state where we had a nice, family-owned pet store within walking distance. We walked our dog there three to four times a week for a treat and were so sad to leave it behind! After living in Arvada for some time now we just discovered this place and it's exactly what we were looking for! It's an easy walk, convenient location, friendly staff, and a great selection. I walked my dog here for the first time the other day and we will definitely be back!

This place, in Old Town Arvada, has a little bit of everything a pet owner could want. The staff and owner are genuinely glad to see you and your fur buddies. I always leave here with a bag of goodies. This usually includes samples of several dog foods that my dogs always enjoy trying out. Mine have always been big on variety and get very excited to see a taste of goat, kangaroo, or pumpkin hit the bowl.

If you are out walking in Old Town, or heading down for a meal or the Farmer's Market, this a great place to add to your journey. Once the light rail station opens in near future, just across the street, I expect a significant uptick in foot traffic will occur. Yep, the nice folks here can maybe seem a touch judgy if you tell them you are currently feeding your pet a cheap and not especially healthy food (I dare you to say, "I only feed Old Roy from Wal-Mart"). But, this is not so much about questioning your life choices, as opening you up to the much better options out there.

They are extremely knowledgeable when it come to pet nutrition, and you should be prepared to drink from the information fire-hose when it comes to learning about good old dog food.

Wow, I was very impressed with this cool, local pet store. I was looking for a more comfortable collar for my Boston Terrier. I was at Pets-mart and could not find what I was looking for. Ironically, a Pets-mart worker told me to head over to Paws 'n' Play. So, I did. and I found the perfect collar. This place is off the beaten path. But, is so worth looking for. I will be back for sure.

Local, friendly and fairly priced. Check 'em out! They are very helpful with pet allergies and finding a food that will fit best with your pet and budget. My girls love their extensive puppy treats section with all sorts of chewy and soft treats at very fair prices.

I absolutely attribute the help we got from Paws and Play to the longevity of our two old dogs, Blackie and Beau! Now that they have passed, our new guy, Levi is thriving and enjoying perfect health due to the high quality products and advise we get from Laura and Karen. They truly care!

Very cool pet store in Old Town. We buy all our treats and dog food here for our 2 girls. These guys do some pretty cool stuff, too. This Halloween, we had an awesome time at the trick treat for dogs event they hosted around old town. For as long as we live in Arvada this is our spot.

I love this store! Karen and Laura helped my hubster and I pick out a new food for our pup. Since our dog has started to show signs of allergies and skin problems, we figured we'd start by changing up her food. They explained our options and helped us pick the right one. I love the customer loyalty perks. Buy 12 bags, get one free! They also have a large selection of treat and chews. I will definitely be buying my dog food here from now on.

This is where we get our dogs' food and treats. Laura and Karen are very knowlegable about their brands and will help you pick the right one. They are not that much more expensive than Costco, and they have a bigger selection and easier in-and-out. They have lots of premium and specialty formulas. We feed our dogs grain-free dry food. Parking - if you're quick in and out, you can park in the loading zone right in front. I still stand by this review, as of Dec. 2013. We still get Taste Of The Wild, plus treats, toys, leashes, etc.

I used to work for a natural dog food company so I saw plenty of stores all over the metro area Paw's N Play is by far my personal favorite! The owners are very educated in all of their products and esspecially nutrition. They are always open for suggestions on cool new products. If there is something you want and they don't have it they are more then happy to place a special order for you!

Their prices are very competitive to other small healthy pet stores. You won't find Ol Roy for $15/50lbs bag but that's not what this kind of store is about! They also work closly with the Olde Town Arvada community and with animal rescue and adoption organizations. I just can't say enough about this wonderful little community store!
