Shopping Local Matters
We’re Your Neighbors
Aloha Paws was born on the Big Island by pet lovers, for pet lovers. We started this shop because Hawai‘i Island deserves a local pet store that understands island life—the climate our animals live in, the importance of dependable access to pet essentials, and the incredible small businesses and makers creating products right here in Hawai‘i.
We also know that shopping for healthy dog food, quality treats, and everyday pet supplies should feel personal—not like wandering through a large warehouse without guidance. Our goal is to provide a welcoming local place where pet parents can discover products, ask questions, and find something special for the animals they love.
Whether you are a longtime Hilo resident, live elsewhere on the Big Island, or are visiting Hawai‘i with your pet, you are welcome at Aloha Paws.
Why Shopping Local Matters
Shopping local helps keep Hawai‘i strong. When you choose Aloha Paws, you support a Hilo small business while also helping us support Hawai‘i makers, small-batch treat companies, and pet-product creators throughout the islands.
We intentionally carry Hawai‘i-made and Hawai‘i-inspired products that celebrate the place we call home. Local favorites may include:
- Hawai‘i Deer Jerky — A popular, single-ingredient-style local dog treat sourced from Maui and brought in regularly, subject to availability.
- Pawniolo Treats — Small-batch Hawai‘i-made treats featuring familiar proteins such as beef, chicken, and venison.
- Poi Dog Jerky — Hawai‘i-made jerky treats inspired by the beloved local mixed-breed “poi dog.”
- Lei Day Pet Shirts — Year-round aloha wear for pets who like to celebrate in island style.
- Locally Hand-Sewn Bandanas — Handmade pet bandanas from Aunty at MJ Kreations, with styles for local families, visitors, and every kind of pet personality.
When you buy these products at Aloha Paws, you help keep more dollars circulating in our local community. We are proud to support the small businesses, makers, artists, and entrepreneurs with big hearts who make up our Hawai‘i Island ‘ohana.
