We’re proud to share exciting news with our Arizona pet community — Paws Choose Us has been recognized as a Top 3 Business in Maricopa County for 2026.

For a locally owned pet store in Scottsdale, this recognition is more than an award. It reflects the trust our customers place in us every day when choosing better nutrition and healthier options for their dogs.

If you’ve ever shopped with us, asked questions about raw feeding, or recommended us to another pet parent — this achievement belongs to you, too.

A Local Scottsdale Pet Store with Countywide Recognition

Maricopa County is one of the largest counties in the country, filled with exceptional businesses. To be ranked in the top three is a tremendous honor and a testament to:

• Our commitment to customer education

At Paws Choose Us, we believe dog nutrition should never be confusing or overwhelming. Our mission is to simplify it and make it accessible for families throughout Scottsdale and the East Valley.

Why More Scottsdale Dog Owners Are Switching to Raw Feeding

One of the most common questions we hear in-store is:
“Is raw feeding actually better for my dog?”

While every dog is unique, many pet parents notice significant improvements after transitioning to a balanced raw diet.

1. Better Digestive Health

Raw diets are minimally processed and closer to a dog’s natural biological needs. Many customers report:

• More consistent digestion

• Smaller, firmer stools

• Reduced stomach sensitivity

2. Healthier Skin and Coat

A species-appropriate diet rich in high-quality animal proteins and natural fats often supports:

• Shinier coats

• Reduced itching

• Healthier skin barrier function

3. Lean Muscle & Sustainable Energy

Raw diets are protein-forward and nutrient-dense, which can help support:

• Healthy weight management

• Strong muscle tone

• Steady energy levels

4. Improved Dental Health

Certain raw components can naturally assist in maintaining cleaner teeth and fresher breath compared to highly processed kibble.

What Makes Paws Choose Us Different from Big-Box Pet Stores?
