While waiting for our table at Hawaiian Style Café, we popped into Aloha Paws, and I'm so glad we…read moredid! As a devoted dog person, I was excited to browse their adorable selection of dog toys and accessories. The store is filled with charming items, making it a perfect stop for pet owners. In addition to the cute toys and collars, they also had a great selection of high-quality dog foods and snacks. Everything looked clean, healthy, and thoughtfully curated--perfect for giving my pup the best treats and nutrition. I picked up a playful take on POG Juice called 'Pawesome O-Guava,' which my pup absolutely loved--she's a big fan of a crunchy toy! Although I was hoping to find a Hawaiian flower collar in her size, I'm optimistic I'll find it next time I visit. If you're in Hilo and have a beloved furry friend, Aloha Paws is definitely worth a visit. I'll be returning on my next trip for sure!

Traveled from Kona to this place a few weeks ago and NEEDED to leave a review because this place is new to me and needs positive exposure for how welcoming and amazing they are. Also, my axolotl and lily survived. Not sure if it was the owner that helped me, but while looking at the water plants (HUGE selection btw), he was so courteous, knowledgeable, and patient (I couldn't decide which one to get). Overall, worth the drive and money. Thank you!!!!

What were the names of the man and woman who ran the fish shop? Rod and Annette!…read more I can't say for certain (a lie), but I'm fairly sure that the good people who run Jordyn's Pets and Plants are not so serendipitously named. However, they run a pretty great little fish shop all the same. Jordyn's Pets and Plants is located on Kaumana Drive, all the way up above the Kaumana Caves. However, if you take advantage of the Puainako extension and cut through to Kaumana Dr. via Wilder Rd., it's right there for you. At least that's the route I would recommend. You'll not find a real parking lot, so to speak, but there's plenty of room in the lot next to the building, as well as on the other side of the road to park. Once inside, you'll find a very quaint shop lined wall-to-wall with tanks of various fish. They're mostly (if not all) fresh water fish to be put in an aquarium, but you'll find a nice variety nonetheless. Fish of all colors, shapes, and sizes! It would probably be pretty tough to run a fish shop that sold only generic fish that all looked exactly the same, I guess... But I digress! In addition to the many (unique) fish sold at Jordyn's, they sell quite a few live plants for you to situate ever so tastefully in your aquarium as well. I mean, really, are you content with those not-quite-the-right-shade-of-green plastic decorative plants? Nah, son. Get you a real plant and experience the upgrade. Your fish and family will thank you. Jordyn's of coures has the other odds and ends you'd expect to see at a fish store. Food and the like. You'll just have to pop in yourself to catch it all. And if you're into fish like that, why wouldn't you? Drop by and check 'em out!

Both people were very friendly and helpful, and I'm ashamed to not have gotten their names! Overall great first experience at their new location. I'm happy they moved to a larger location. I just hate that I have to drive farther now to go their new location in shipman industrial area. Tip: if you live in Hilo, go when it's not rush hour! If not getting out of shipman industrial is so hard and traffic in and out of town is horrendous. Their great customer service and nice selection of various products is so worth it.

We love Lava Paws!…read more We went to visit while we were in Hilo, it was on our to-do list. The store is well kept, well stocked, and there was someone friendly there to greet us and answer questions. We picked up quail egg meal toppers and a dehydrated protein. Our dog was happy when we got back from traveling. We've also gotten their goodies online, shipping was on time and products came in tact and were what we ordered. The owner is very knowledgeable and answers questions throughly. We have also purchased her products when she came to Oahu. We are forever customers! Our orders vary since she has such a menu to pick from. Our dog loves the raw hide (natural), beef morsels, and ahi sticks!

The staff member was super friendly and was working on packaging some fresh treats when we came in. We asked some questions about popular items and had fun looking around at all the options. The pricing is a bit higher here than for other treats we buy for our dog, but since they're fresh and local they're worth it as an extra special treat. On top of regular treats they also have toys, snuffle mats, soaps, books, food additives, anti-flea spray, refrigerated food and bigger animal pieces for treats (like rawhide, trachea, cow ears and more). They also have a few different sizes on a lot of their options so you can test out smaller bags before investing in their larger treat packages. I wish we could have brought our dog in with us, he would have been a fluffball and a candy store! He is enjoying the Maui Venison we brought home and loved the Ahi Sticks we brought back on a previous trip, so far we're two for two!
