Why RJ Paddywacks?

Shopping for your pet shouldn’t feel confusing, rushed, or impersonal.

At RJ Paddywacks, we believe the best way to care for animals is through knowledge, quality products, and real human support — not algorithms or auto-shipped boxes.

Local, Independent, and Community-Focused

We’ve been locally owned and operated since 1995. When you shop here, you’re supporting a business that lives and works in the same community you do — not a warehouse hundreds of miles away.

Trained Staff You Can Actually Talk To

Our team is trained in pet nutrition, behavior, and product use. We help you:

  • Compare foods side-by-side

  • Find the right size, fit, or formula

  • Adjust diets, treats, and supplements over time

No chat bots. No guessing. No scrolling reviews at midnight.

Curated Brands — Not Endless Shelves

We don’t carry everything.
We carry what works.

Every brand on our shelves is selected for quality, ingredient integrity, and proven results. If we don’t believe in it, we don’t stock it.

Loyalty Programs That Save You Real Money

We participate in Astro Loyalty Programs and manufacturer frequent buyer cards, which means:

  • Buy X, get one free programs

  • Manufacturer-backed discounts

  • No subscriptions, no auto-charges

These programs are tracked and applied in-store, where we can make sure you actually get the savings you’ve earned.

Why In-Store Beats Online for Pet Care

Online shopping can’t:

  • Check freshness dates

  • Confirm proper storage

  • Adjust recommendations as your pet changes

  • Apply manufacturer loyalty correctly

We can.

That’s why our online store focuses on in-store pickup — so you get the convenience of browsing with the confidence of personal service.

The Bottom Line

If you want the cheapest option with no guidance, online stores exist.

If you want:

  • Better nutrition

  • Honest recommendations

  • Long-term support for your pet

That’s why RJ Paddywacks is here.
