As an Omaha Pet Store, Heartland Paws isn’t just about selling pet supplies—it’s about creating connections. We’re here to help you find your new best friend and make sure they have everything they need to thrive in their forever home.
Whether you’re adopting your first pet or adding to your growing family, we’re passionate about making the journey joyful and stress-free.
At Heartland Paws, we’re all about community and love—love for pets, families, and the bond they share. Adopting a pet isn’t just a purchase; it’s a lifelong commitment, and we’re honored to be a part of that decision. From guidance during the adoption process to providing top-notch pet products, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
What sets Heartland Paws apart is our dedication to offering only the best for your pets. We proudly carry high-quality, natural, and organic pet foods, along with supplements and supplies that promote health and happiness. Chris, the owner of Heartland Paws, has a unique background that fuels this commitment.
Chris spent the last 25 years working in the regulatory medical field, navigating FDA and OSHA regulations. This experience sparked a journey of research into pet health after his own dog, Millie, was diagnosed with terminal sinus cancer.
While traditional treatments were tough on Millie, a switch to a raw, nutrient-rich diet combined with supplements drastically improved her quality of life. Not only did Millie get off her medications, but she also thrived for six more months in remarkable health.
That transformation left Chris and his family asking, “What if she’d been on this diet from the start?” When they adopted Dakota, their next rescue dog, they had their answer. Dakota, who had been neglected and suffered from coat issues and facial cysts, showed dramatic improvements in just a month on a raw diet with mushroom supplements. His coat healed, and his health has been impeccable ever since.
These personal experiences inspired Chris to open an Omaha Pet Store to share his knowledge and passion for high-quality pet nutrition with the Omaha community. “There’s so much misinformation out there about pet foods,” Chris says. “I want to help pet owners make the best decisions for their furry family members.”
At Heartland Paws, we believe the foundation of a happy, healthy pet starts with their diet. That’s why our shelves are filled with carefully curated products that we’d trust for our own pets. From raw and freeze-dried foods to all-natural treats and supplements, every item we carry has been thoroughly researched to meet the highest standards.
We also understand that switching your pet’s diet can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options and conflicting information out there. That’s why we’re here to help. Stop by the store and talk with Chris—there’s no pressure, just honest advice to help you make the best choice for your pet’s well-being.
One of the things we love most is working with local rescues to help animals find their forever families. Adoption events are a big part of what we do here at Heartland Paws. They’re the perfect chance to meet pets, hear their stories, and decide if they’re the right fit for your home. There’s nothing like seeing that spark when someone meets their new best friend for the first time—it’s why we do what we do.
We know adopting a pet can feel overwhelming at times. What kind of food should you buy? What about training or health concerns? That’s where we come in. Our team is here to answer your questions and share advice. Whether you’re navigating the world of pet nutrition or looking for tips on introducing your new friend to your family, we’re here to help.
Life is busy—we get it. That’s why we offer convenient ways to shop for your pet’s essentials. Stop by the store, order online, or choose curbside pickup or home delivery. Our goal is to make caring for your pet as easy and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on what really matters: spending time with your furry friend.
Heartland Paws is more than a pet store—we’re a community of pet lovers dedicated to making a difference. Every product we sell, every adoption event we host, and every conversation we have is rooted in our passion for pets and the people who love them.
If you’re ready to adopt a friend or simply want to learn more about improving your pet’s health and happiness, we’d love to meet you. Stop by and see why Heartland Paws is Omaha’s premier pet store. Together, we can create healthier, happier lives for pets and their families.
