KENNETT SQUARE: Paws and Claws is a gem of a pet store

What a gem the Paws & Claws pet store on West State Street is!
I stopped in to pick up some supplies for Gilbert the guinea pig, the newest resident of West Marlborough (I adopted the handsome boy from the Chester County SPCA shelter on Sept. 3), and found not only everything I needed but also knowledgeable advice and enthusiastic, friendly service from the staff.
I love a clean, well-organized pet store where dogs and cats greet you when you enter, and you can hear birds chirping and aquarium filters bubbling. After buying my bag of hay and a new food dish for Gilbert, I checked out some of the exotic critters they had for sale, including a corn albino snake, a tarantula and and a huge alligator gar (a kind of fish).
I heard from readers who also sing the store's praises:
"The people are so knowledgeable, kind and genuine. Two thumbs up! We will be spending a lot of time there just hanging out and giving love to the pets," wrote one.
"We adopted our two cats from there and ways get great advice about fish and they always have a great selection to choose from!" said another.
The store's groomer was also singled out for high praise.
Paws & Claws also has a huge assortment of pet accessories and treats. Check them out! It's a great store and it's right in downtown Kennett, in the little shopping center where El Ranchero Mexican restaurant is and Molly's Ice Cream and Papier used to be (this is going back many years).
