Our Story

Welcome to LocalPaws Magazine, a Canadian print and digital pet magazine that caters to the needs of pet owners and their furry family members. We love our animal buddies, particularly cats, dogs, and all pets with paws. As cat parents to Siyamak and Alexy, we were naturally concerned about finding the right service providers. We spent hours researching vet clinics, reading reviews, and meeting in person to ensure they were a good fit for our precious cats. Getting to know the pet service provider at a personal level was key! That’s what gave us the idea for Local- Paws – our passion project. We wanted to create a resource that provides personal-level introductions to pet service professionals. Our goal is to make it easier for you to find the right fit for your furry family members.

In each issue of LocalPaws, you’ll find the inside scoop on some of the finest pet service businesses and pet-loving professionals. Plus, you’ll get valuable tips and insights from pet service professionals, stories from pet owners, great deals and specials, and opportunities for the whole family (including your furry family members) to get involved. As part of our service to the community, we help animals in need by supporting rescue initiatives and efforts. Check out our website’s “Giving Back” section to learn more.
