Visiting Paws on the Sand is just plain fun--an experience I have enjoyed for nearly 15 years. Not only has Patty packed a great selection of excellent pet food, pet gifts, and pet needs into an area you don't get lost in, she makes you feel happy you walked in the door, even when you're just there to browse. I always walk out with a smile on my face...even on a bad day. When she's not there, her employees make you feel the same way. After having to move to another town 5 years ago, I have been driving 35 miles one way to continue getting my pet supplies from Paws. Her prices are very competitive (and sometimes beat the large chain pet specialty stores), and the folks at Paws know their products, unlike the experience I've had with a chain store. I love it there! Can you tell?
