“I am so glad Prime Paw is here! I’ve had dogs before but never a puppy, so this was a whole new and overwhelming experience for me. Prime Paw made this stressful experience so much easier. Puppy Day School helped so much — highly recommend to first-time puppy owners!”

“My wife and I met Dominic at a puppy social at PetFood Express. After chatting with him about PrimePaw, we decided to send our puppy there for Puppy Pre-School, as the pickup/drop off times lined up with our work schedule. Our puppy loved going and learned a lot over the sessions.”
