We had our dog groomed today and they did a fantastic job!Theyre all so nice. Shelly is a fantastic person. Please do yourself a favor and give them a try youll be so glad that you did!

Everyone at Friendly Paws is helpful any knowledgeable. I dont live in Athens any more, but if I need anything for my pets while Im there, I always go to Friendly Paws!

Friendly Paws is my one-stop-shop for all of my best boy’s needs. The staff is very friendly, always helpful, and treat my dog as if he was their own. The owner, Shelley, is the absolute BEST and beyond accommodating. The groomers always do an amazing job making my boy look incredible. It’s literally my favorite place to shop in Athens!

Incredible service. I have a problem pup that is terrified of getting her nails trimmed. Staff was so understanding and helpful. So appreciated ❤️

The best! Excellent grooming, wonderful people, good choice of high end dog products (I don’t have a cat) and the finest locally owned pet shop.

Excellent, friendly service, every time! They always do a great job grooming my little fur baby

I have been a long time customer here. Love the service and personal care taken to help customers! Great place

This place does cat grooming and they are absolutely fantastic! I have a cat who is not easy to groom, but they made it look easy and my cat looked brand new. Also, the whole experience took only 30 minutes (granted my cat was only dry-shampooed). I loved the staff and the store had lots of great toys, food, and adoptable cats. I would highly recommend.

Very helpful with all of our pet needs and concerns. I would recommend anyone in the area to visit your local friendly paws.

Specialty shop with friendly, direct and knowledgeable staff. Supports local rescue efforts. Helped me out in a grooming bind with a new rescue!

My favorite place to take my furbabies for all their doggy needs,the only place we trust to give miss chloe her haircuts

They are rude not welcoming even when they say hello it sounds fake. They ask you several times while looking at things if they can help you. And they watch you As iff you are a thief! It use to be great when Michelle owned it. Will not spend my hard earn dollars at this local pet shop.

Staff here really makes this place shine. They offer higher quality food for your pet and grooming services. The high quality food costs more but its the same price as youll find online. Have not utilized grooming service but have witnessed people picking up their pet and theyre always happy with the result.

A friendly, cute store environment that makes it fun to shop. The resident store cat is a sweetheart. They have a great selection of toys for dogs and cats. The customer service cant be beat and they really helped when I had a rescue kitten in my arms and no supplies. I only wish they carried hills pet food or fromms, but the store is small so I understand why selection is limited. Costs a bit more than petsmart or walmart, but theyre a small business thats involved in helping the community. Ive never been to a chain store that is as helpful with pet care advice and local vet info.

They take the best care of my pets! Kind and caring employees.

Friendly and helpful - great selection. I love supporting this local, woman-owned business!

What a wonderful local treasure this place is! I received personal attentive service. They listened to my pets needs and gave great suggestions. I had my dog groomed for the first time. The groomer was great with my older, achy Yorkie. I will definitely be back!!

Friendly Paws is a great pet store!Products: If they dont have the product you are looking for, they will order it for you. With my experience, it was even cheaper than ordering from Amazon! Overall, their selection is great. I have bought harnesses and collars for my growing Saint Bernard there. They even took the time to make sure it fit properly.Customer Service: They are super quick to let you know when something you have ordered has arrived and also great about calling to remind you of the upcoming grooming appointment.Grooming: I cant rave enough about the grooming. They arent even intimidated by giant breed dogs!Price: Extremely competitive! They even offer coupons.Over all, this is the best place to buy your pets the items they need!

Great staff and prices! Lots of high quality food, they dont carry the brand of cat food that ours eat and they ordered it for us! I cant recommend this place enough!

Friendly Paws is one of my favorite Local stores in Athens! Theyve got excellent quality pet food, knowledgeable staff, and the cutest and toughest manager. (Feisty, Im talking about you.) They really pride themselves in helping you and your pet live your best lives!

Our groomer took amazing care of our pooch and made him look like a Rockstar with a Mohawk and goatee! ❤️

The staff is always kind and knowledgeable. They also work closely with the dog shelter, humane society and a womens shelter to help keep families with their pets. I wouldnt trust anyone else to help me feed or groom my pets. They also offer pet sitting and are very good about taking care of the animals.

Love, Love, Love Friendly Paws. Always have such great advice on products and solutions to help with my fur babies. Shelly truly cares about what she does, and she has even given advice on things to before you have to spend money if not needed - its not always about selling something with them, its truly about caring for your animals! I love how they support the local animal rescue as well, and wont shop anywhere else for my pet stuff :) I should mention their prices are equal to some of the discount stores, but you all get here is quality products!!

Great group of people in there. The nicest you’ll ever meet. I will keep bringing Apollo back for his trimmings. Thanks!

Friendly staff, very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone needing a groomer, healthy food and treats for your fur babies. They are awesome!!

This place has the most friendly retail staff ever!!! one lady even took the time to look up and compare nutrition for different food brands for my dog. unbelievable service!! looking for something they dont carry? they will order it for you!!

Family feel, great service. Mostly I the my dog in to get his nails trimmed and they always do a great job.

Shelley and her staff are fantastic! They always take good care of us and our many critters. Healthy food choices, great services. Their pet sitting is fantastic.

Super helpful. I had been dealing with awful fleas on my two cats and found the cure here. I had no idea what I was looking for, but they definitely steered me in the right direction at what I think is a great price. Some other things are a little pricey, but its a small business and for the amount they know and are able to help, Id happily spend a couple extra dollars for the quality of the business.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Experienced groomers. We have been long time customers. Locally owned and they are very involved with our community.

They are kind and do a wonderful job in taking care of my fur baby when they groom her! Great haircuts, too!

This is the best place on Athens to buy your pet supplies through. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. When we do leave Athens, I will be very sad to leave this store.

Excellent pet store and grooming. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, owner is great and cares tremendously about animals and pets. Pet supplies, food and more.

Nice atmosphere. Good information and attentiveness to help the customer. The information I received was very helpful.

Great place

Wrongfully accused of skipping an appointment. Only had one grooming appointment there and the dog showed up. I called to make an appointment today and the owner accused me of skipping my last appointment, I was called a liar and told I am also predictable. I just tried to schedule a grooming appointment for my dog but was instead harassed. The owner was called back and she said she had me for a wrong person which was obviously a lie. A business that treats its customers so rude on the phone is not one I will use, I cannot imagine how they would treat my dog.

This is the best local pet store! Everyone here is so nice & knowledgeable.

Shelly and crew are the best. Great selections of just about anything youd ever need!

Great customer service and knowledge of the goods sold at the shop. Its good to know that someone cares about the food and products people buy for their pets.

Great place and friendly staff♡ they do good work:)

Great place. Always super friendly.

Took my dog here and they disagreed with me getting my dog a hair cut he sheds and needed a hair cut they ended up just trimming him and clipping his nails when I mean trim they did the bare minimum didnt even cut him he still had long hair and hair behind his legs wasnt shortened up and when I was maken a appointment for him days before I took him they told me on the phone what I should feed my dog Im ok with advice but not a 30 mins conversation on what I feed my dog he eats his food and its not a bad brand...

Always friendly and knowledgable staff.

Great shop, owners a sweetheart!

Great place with wonderful owner and workers!

Friendly Paws bath/shedding treatment works wonders. #Impressed

A little pricey on some things but absolutely wonderful people work here. Plus, IT IS A LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESS!

Shelly is amazing!

It was ok east state street isnt the best .

Very friendly staff and a place with cats to visit with when you come in is always a plus!

The best!

Rebecca is an excellent groomer!!!
