Paws A While was established in 1988 in Sydney as a general gift retail store and has evolved into a business specializing in gifts for pets and people with pets. Peoples enduring love of animals is reflected in our product range. Over the years, we have become Australia ’s largest retailer of breed specific memorabilia and are well known amongst pet lovers.

Due to customer demand, we have designed Pawsawhile.com to enable customers who cannot come into the store to sample a range of our goods. It is our vision to become Australia's leading online supplier of pet memorabilia and animal collectibles.

Our commitment to excellence extends from our store to our products and to our employees and, most importantly, to our customer service. We take pleasure in being able to provide that elusive collectible or specialty item that represents a loved breed. Our philosophy is to offer unique gift lines in a wide range of prices. Many of our products are exclusive, having been sourced globally and are not usually available in other retail establishments in Australia .

Pets are well catered for with our comprehensive range of funky collars, clothing and toys.

We are constantly looking for new, creative, and innovative merchandise. If you are an artisan with a product line relating to specific cat and dog breeds, please feel free to send us samples and contact us about your wares.

Because many items do come from overseas, we can have a time delay in restocking, but will immediately inform you when your required item is back in stock.
