💔 There’s nothing harder than being unable to care for your pet in a moment of crisis. Insurance can help relieve that burden and give you peace of mind.

🛍️ As many of you know, we’ve hosted Bark Markets and dog-friendly events across NH—and we love supporting businesses that put pets first, care about their communities, and lift up others.

🐾 That’s why we’ve teamed up with Derek at Comparion Insurance—a local Concord agent who truly understands what it means to be a pet lover and a part of this community.

✨ If you’ve ever wondered whether pet insurance is right for you, now’s a great time to check it out. You might be surprised at how easy and affordable it can be.

Great idea, Pawskies!

Why are our bags backwards??

If you’ve ever noticed a bag of dog food on our shelves sitting backward next to one facing forward — it’s on purpose!

We believe what’s on the back of the bag matters just as much as the front. That’s where you’ll find the ingredients, the feeding guidelines, and the real story about what’s inside.

At Pawskies, we don’t want to hide that — we want to highlight it.

We’re proud of the food we carry, and we’re here to help you find the very best for your pets. Whether you’re comparing ingredients, trying to stay on budget, or just want to know what’s out there — we’ll work with you to find the right fit at the right price. We’re even happy to quote you on any pet supplies you're interested in.

Because here at Pawskies, we love your pets like our own. And they deserve the best. (And so do you.)

If you’re interested in finding out if we carry your food and if we can save you money please feel free to Give us a call at 603-715-9214 or send us an email to [email protected]
