Beyond the products, we share general principles that can be helpful to pet parents. The most basic of these principles revolves around building relationships with our pets. After all, they are family too! They enrich our lives and in turn we should enrich theirs. We encourage pet parents to think outside the bowl to keep their domesticated wolf-descendants and carnivorous cats mentally and physically stimulated during their comparatively sedentary lifestyles.

Another aspect of our philosophy involves the support of local, independent retailers. In fact, our entire store was originally set up utilizing local businesses. We continue to buy local whenever possible, including saleable pet products, general supplies for both us and our pets.

With regard to local rescue organizations and shelters, we applaud and support their efforts as best we can. We encourage potential pet parents to always consider adopting homeless pets and to spay and neuter. We consistently open our facility to adoption clinics. Thanks to the generous nature of our customers, Next Door Highlands Ranch has voted Paw Prints FAVORITE pet supply store and grooming salon in 2022, 2023, and 2024​!

We feel very fortunate to work with pets and the people who love them. It is impossible to quantify the gratitude that we feel for the pet parents in Highlands Ranch for their continued patronage and interest in nutritional pet care and cage free grooming. Our journey has been rewarding to say the least and we hope to continue working to make all Colorado pets healthier, one pet at a time.
