Super cute shop, the folks working there were very helpful. They had a great selection of items, and the bandanas were both very fun and very well-made.

Our favorite store in the old port!!! We try to visit a few times a month to restock on treats, toys, and supplies. Their collars are handmade and the best quality, even after 2 years they still look brand new. The owners are great people and truly love meeting all the pets that come into their store, always giving pets and treats to our dog when we visit.

Just have to say the workers here are the nicest people! Every one of them greeted us and were happy to share any info about the items/where they came from. Everyone was literally so friendly! Great selection of items, and lots of cute kitschy dog things like bandanas and HATS! I always put my dog in hats and they aren’t very common in pet stores but they had quite a few here and that made me so happy! I can’t wait to get back home to NC and see my boy in his new shark hat!

Great place for dogs but not much for cats. I Google searched “Best cat store in Portland ME” I was misled. They did have some pretty cool stuff but mostly toys, collars and chews. Not much food or cat supplies and definitely no pets for sale fyi. Would have given 5 stars if I was looking for a good dog toy store

I visited this shop back in July when visiting Maine on vaction. The staff was all so friendly and informative! They have some great products but what really caught my heart was their lobster toys for pets, I bought one "cat" lobster filled with catnip and one "dog" lobster toy that squeaks because my cats like both types of toys and it was the perfect lobster to bring back home for my girls! The cats and I absolutely love these sweet souvenirs! I'd reccomended this place to any other visitors and if I live closer I'd absolutely shop there more.

Lovely family owned business. A lot of their products are made in-house and are great quality! Highly recommend (I dare you to resist a bandana for your pup).

We always make a stop here when we are in Portland. Lando always loves the all natural treats here. We bought a collar for him here 3 years ago and he still wears it in perfect condition. Great quality!

On vacay in Portland, we stumbled into Uncommon Paws, and ended up buying the cutest toys and collars for our two fur babies! Also met the owner who makes the collars by hand, great quality. Our pups love their lobster and anchor collars and chew toys!

Great store! The owners helped me pick a toy that would hold up to the demands of two golden retrievers and Albert the stuffed monkey has been a big hit! Well made, strong and they love it.

We first learned of Uncommon Paws years ago, while visiting a pet boutique in Boothbay Harbor. We purchased our nautically-named rescue komondor a collar and have cherished it ever since. Fast forward - we adopted another "nauti" kom and went for collar #2. Gudrun helped us personally with our online inquiry/purchase, and even included a personal note with the package. Top notch service!! Gained [what I can only presume] another lifetime customer!!

We visited from Tampa, Fl - and Dexter, my dog, noticed a stuffed dog outside and immediately wanted to go inside. This is a wonderful store with hand made items as well as local artist prints. They have unique and practical items for both dogs and cats. The owners are personable, friendly and inviting. Love this place !AJ, Rodney, and Dexter

Uncommon Paws is your one stop shop for dog clothing and other goodies located in Portland's Old Port on exchange street. We were in earlier this winter looking for a hat (haha I know a hat for a DOG!) as my little terrier mix gets cold ears on those walks on the windy beach, snowshoeing, etc. as she's gotten older she needs more warmth. Well lucky for us, they had everything from alpaca knit hats to fleece lined bomber style hats, you name it. They also had A TON of rain and snow jackets that were definitely of better quality and clothing coverage for your dog than others I've seen elsewhere. Bandannas, collars, fleece and flannel shirts, backseat covers for your vehicle, treats and many other odds and ends to explore. Only downside is the cost can hit you hard at the register for some items, but others are appropriately priced for quality. Staff is friendly and have asked if we needed help with smiles. Returning was a breeze for the time we decided didn't fit. I'll be back. Recommended.

Love this store! Such a friendly staff, and the wonderful owners are also usually in the store, for questions, or just a fun conversation about pets! They have beautiful, quality products that you won’t find in chain stores. They really love animals, and contribute so much to the local community. Stop by this shop any time you are in Portland!

First of all, this store has the most unique clothes, amazing treats, and fun toys for your furry friends!!! On top of the store being extremely clean and well organized, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! I truly had the best experience with both of the owners this evening. I had a unique situation, where I bought a hat and jacket for my dog. Unfortunately, the hat didn’t fit, and my receipt was nowhere to be found. The owners of the store took several minutes out of their busy workday to rummage through their receipts from the past week, to try and find the matching receipt. Long story short, they were so generous of their time and were incredibly patient with me. This kind act goes a long way with me!! It’s a place I will continue to support because these owners will always greet you at the door with a smile on their face and kindness all around!!
