Paws of Distinction

Had the best experience here! Our babies love their new fleece jackets. No dog walks out without yummy dog treats! Will be back soon 🐾

I simply love this store. The owner is highly devoted to her business and offers a great assortment of dog and cat toys, high quality pet food, collar, leashes and treats. I especially love the wall of cookie jars filled treats, where you can build your own bag of goodies for your dog. They sell toys that are of incredible quality and have always been a hit with my dogs. They even sell bow ties for your handsome fur guy!! A few years ago I found the best dog coat here, and return every year to get a new version. I love being able to bring my dogs inside, and the staff is super friendly with every visitor. Businesses like this are hard to find. The big box stores are NOT cheaper, and you will rarely get recognized for being a return customer like you will be at this beautiful boutique pet shop.

Good quality pet items. Very friendly atmosphere. Great customer service. Well made items.

Amanda was very helpful with our previous dog and his chronic health issues. We were able to find home made treats there that didn't affect his dietary allergies and he'd love going there. (As he was a cranky old man in a fur suit we were always surprised how much he liked going there). The only negative to bringing your pet is they like picking out toys. Not just one, not just two, but they want the entire store. We haven't brought our newest dog as she's a hyper terrier but soon.

I'm very happy with the toys I bought. My dogs are very strong chewers and usually manage to break toys within days. I bought a few toys here 2 months ago and they are still in great shape! Amazing quality!

I love this store!!! There is always an amazing selection of food, homemade treats, unique toys, and anything else you might need for your pup. The owner and employees are super helpful and nice and my dog has met many of his friends there!!!

Despite any claims to the contrary, they are the dog friendliest place I have ever been in. There are always dogs in there enjoying meeting friends and sniffing out new toys and treats they want their human to get them. Staff is devoted and helpful. If you want good things for your pet, go here. If you want dog or cat food made of recycled spoiled hot dogs and shredded Chinese newspapers, this is not the store for you.

I have visited Paws of Distinction many times and I always leave with a smile. It's a beautiful space where you can find great things to keep your dog healthy and happy. The staff is super welcoming and you can tell they truly care about their puppy customers!

Fantastic local pet store that really cares!! Their products are healthy, carefully chosen and bought from the most humane and environmentally conscious manufacturers. You will find unique and amazing products and service. They also give back to the rescue community which means the world to me .
I also love to pet all the dogs in the store 💗Please support this store 😻🐶🤩🤘

Water Street Market would not be what it is without Paws of Distinction. It is a draw for pet lovers from the Hudson Valley and beyond. Amanda keeps the shop well stocked with healthy and organic treats and fun toys and she and her staff are extremely welcoming. It is refreshing to see the care she puts into her shop and products because of her true love for animals. We are lucky to have this special place in our town.❤

I love this store. It’s adorable, in a prime location, my dog loves it, and its a great place for doggy gifts. During covid lockdown they offered food assistance to people struggling to feed their animals. Good good vibes.

I want to thank you so much for giving me samples of dog food for my ailing dog. I walked into the store and talked about my elderly dog not eating well and being sick. The owner was gracious and gave me a bag of samples. Boris, my dog really enjoys them. Thank you so much. Elaine

Our dog GOES CRAZY every time we visit New Paltz because of this store. The staff here are so friendly and animal lovers. We love buying their dog pastries as a reward to our dog after a long day hike.

If you're looking for quality food for your pets this is the place to go. Great service and reasonable prices. My puppy loves all the treats I get there. Highly recommend.

Love this place for their homemade chicken jerky! My dog also loves coming here because they always spoil her with treats while we shop.

Great store I really like their selection of dog treats! Well priced and great variety, definitely stop in!

Wonderful store and incredibly knowledgeable staff! As a new puppy parent they guided me in the right direction thankfully 🐶

Always helpful. Super customer service. I have Danes and they are always able to find exactly what I need in super size!

Great place to get food for your furry family members

Nice show very friendly
