Join us in celebrating Caro, the new owner of Murphy's Paw in Pleasanton! Caro has been there for about 9 years and is the perfect person to head the next phase of Murphy's Paw!

Hi everyone! My name is Caro and I have worked at Murphy’s Paw for almost 9 years. What started as a job has evolved into my passion, and it has shaped me into the person I am today. Today, I am overjoyed to begin 2025 by announcing that I have taken over as owner of Murphy’s Paw! I am very excited to begin this chapter, and beyond grateful for each step of the journey that led me here.

Dean, the previous owner and the best boss I could’ve asked for, has done nothing but encourage my growth, support my ideas, and believe in me. Thank you Dean. Thank you for giving me the opportunites over the last 9 years that led me to this point.

Murphy’s Paw has always been more than just a business— it’s been a place where connections are made and where the community comes together. None of this would be possible without our customers! I am so thankful for each and every one of you. So many of you have become more than just customers, but rather a cherished part of my everyday life.

Murphy’s Paw will continue being the store you know and love! I have been running it for a good while now, so rest assured nothing crazy will change. I’m excited to keep building on it though, and to get more involved in our community.

Join us on Saturday, January 25th at 4pm to celebrate 🥳 We will have snacks, refreshments, and specials all day!

This is another amazing small business who makes all of these awesome toys!!

Our sale starts now!

11/29/2024

As a small business, we try to support smaller businesses whenever possible, especially around the holidays!

In case you missed our big sale last weekend - or in case you have a few more pups and pup parents to shop for - you can save 15% storewide through Small Business Saturday with code SHOPSMALL.

It's our way of saying thank you for your incredible support of our business this year! We know we can't compete with the big box stores and their insane discounts this weekend - but we DO want to encourage you to shop small when you can! Every purchase directly supports our family, employees, and community, and gives us the motivation to keep going.

Have a wonderful weekend - we are so thankful for you!
