PawPawUP Pet Store - We Care As You Care

The best Pet Store PawPawUP

At PawPawUp, we’re not just a pet store—we’re a team of animal lovers who believe pets deserve the same comfort and joy as the people who care for them. Based right here in Melbourne, we’ve built our store around one idea: making life better for pets, and easier for the people who love them.

Our shelves (and our hearts) are full of practical, playful, and thoughtful pet supplies—from soft cat bed that invite deep naps, to sturdy cat tree & scratcher that bring out your cat’s inner climber. Got a pup who never stops moving? There’s a dog toy here with their name on it. For cat parents, we’ve also stocked essentials like the easy-to-clean cat litter box, and the kind of cat carrier that makes vet trips a little less stressful.

Everything we offer has been chosen with care, tested by real pets, and delivered with the kind of service that feels more like family than retail. Whether you’re new to pet parenting or already have a house full of paws and fur, we’re here to help with things that actually make a difference.

We’re proud to be part of Melbourne’s growing pet-loving community—and we’d love for you to be part of ours.

Come join the PawPawUp family. We’re here for your pets, like they’re our own.

Pet Store & Pet Supplies FAQ

What pet supplies are essential for a first-time cat or dog owner?
If you're adopting a new pet, you'll have to bring home some essentials: food and water bowls, good pet food, a comfy bed, grooming equipment, an ID-tagged collar, and some toys. If it's a cat, add a litter box and a scratching post. If it's a dog, remember a leash and poop bags. Starting with these basics guarantees your pet feels secure, satisfied, and well cared for from the start.
How often should I replace or update my pet supplies?
You should finish pet food and treats first, but other products need to be replaced now and then, too. Collars, beds, toys, and grooming tools become outdated — replace them every 6–12 months or if they seem to be damaged. Closely monitor chew toys and replace them as soon as they start to crack or break. This article is about when and why you should clean or replace your pet's stuff.
What do I need to ask when I visit a pet store for the first time?
Ask them where their pet food originates from, if their toys and so on are safe, and how you can continue if you want to return an item. When buying stuff for health, i.e. extras or something to stop fleas, make sure that the staff know what they're selling. A good pet shop will tell you what you need to know, not just eager to flog you something.
What makes a good pet store?
A good pet store is more than a place to buy pet supplies — it provides knowledgeable, animal-loving employees, a clean and well-organised space, and a commitment to animal welfare. This article discusses what makes the best pet stores in Australia stand out.

What do I buy — treats or toys?
That depends on your pet's age, size, and play type. From finicky felines to power chewers, we carry a wide range of safe and tested supplies, including toys and treats. Our staff are pet owners themselves, and we're always happy to suggest what worked for our pets and our customers' fur families. Take a look at this ultimate guide to choosing the right pet supplies for healthy, happy fur babies.
