Ava’s Golden Paws

About Us

Ava’s Golden Paws was born out of a simple need: quality pet products close to home. For years, JoAnne and her husband Andy drove 40 minutes or more just to find nutritious food for their two beloved dogs. After living in the Waupaca area for nearly seven years, they realized the community—and the smaller towns nearby—deserved a local pet supply store that truly cares about pets and their people.

That dream started to take shape when JoAnne and Andy met Tiffany, who brought valuable experience in the pet industry. Together, they combined passion and expertise to create Ava’s Golden Paws—a welcoming space where pets come first and quality is never compromised.

Since opening in 2025, we’ve proudly served Waupaca and surrounding communities as the only dedicated pet supply store in the area. Our shelves are filled with all-natural products, premium foods made right here in the USA—including Fromm, crafted in Wisconsin—and a wide selection of supplements, health products, flea and tick treatments, and accessories galore. We specialize in raw, freeze-dried, and human-grade pet foods because we believe your pets deserve the very best.

But Ava’s Golden Paws is more than a store—it’s an experience. From in-store shopping and custom orders to our fun photo-op booth where you can capture memories with your furry friends, every visit is designed to make tails wag and hearts happy. Open six days a week, we’re here to provide everything your pets need to thrive, all in one convenient location.

At Ava’s Golden Paws, we’re not just selling products—we’re building a community of pet lovers who value quality, care, and connection. Stop by and see why we’re Waupaca’s trusted destination for all things pets!
