“The guys here are so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful! I went in a couple weeks ago to find a live plant and to see if I could get some filter media from one of their established tanks because I’d been having major issue with my 10 gallon freshwater tank since I set it up a month ago.
Long story short after endless Reddit articles I had determined that my cycle had crashed and my tank was likely overstocked. Reddit suggested some established filter media and live plant to help sleep up the cycling process.
I got to talking with one of the guys at the store and he helped me diagnose my tank issues, volunteered to take back my goldfish (that were purchased at Petsmart) and give me store credit, and offered to test my tank water if I brought some in. Turns out I had my light in too long and it was causing excess algae growth, and my Goldfish are reeking havoc on my subtropical tank with all of the waste they are creating.
My tank is doing much better, and I can’t wait to go back this weekend to trade in my goldfish, get some more live plants, and show my kiddos all of the cool fish!
Thanks Vallejo Aquarium for all of the help!”
“This is my favorite pet shop ever!! Staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. I come here to get food for my lizards. I've also bought one lizard from here. I love their selection of pets and food options. Prices are great and reasonable. I prefer to come here than to go to a big chain store like petco, or pet smart as you get better service and better products. Please shop here if you get the chance! While you're here, you can also check out all of their cute pets in stock. My favorite ones to always look at is their reptiles. Foods I get here for my lizards include: pinkies, meal worms, crickets, dubia roaches and blue Goliath hornworms. They also sell accessories such as tanks, nets, scoopers, etc. They also sell stickers, plants, keychains, earrings, etc. Overall, LOVE this place! :)”
“The Cutest pet supply store in downtown Vallejo! The owner and her employees are absolutely amazing. I found a bunch of accessories for my dog here. Definitely a great place to stop by when looking for a special gift for your pet, or when you need other supplies like food, treat, leashes, etc.”
“The staff is extremely friendly, they know what they are doing, and I loved the dedication with which they do their job, you can tell that they are committed people, they are the best!!!”

422 1st St, Benicia“Stopped in after having lunch. I enjoy browsing in mom & pop pet supply stores when visiting a new to me local destination. Happy to report this store has a good selection of pet merchandise and food. I picked up a Canada Pooch cooling vest that was on end of summer sale. Hope to visit again the next time we have lunch in town.”
“What a wonderful discovery! In contrast to all those over-priced, ultra corporate PetCo-type businesses out there, this is a pleasant, old-time store with real service and great prices. It will be my go-to for all the kibble my doggie needs!”
“Amazing high quality pet products, wide variety of items & my dogs love coming in to sniff everything! (Great buy 3, get 1 free deals on all products..!) Also the baths are really convenient for washing dogs. Makes bath time much easier & can just rinse the fur & grime down the drain.”
“I use to shop here for my pigeon feed and they was such great friendly people. I wonder if it's the same people running the store that i use to come buy feed 2012. Well now i have Cockatiels and Canary's so i will be buying my feed from you again. Because the store Elgranero feed store stop customer from using their credit cards and they only except cash that has been going on for 1 yr now. And i wanted to buy a canary bird and i didn't have the cash to buy it now so i wasn't able to buy bird.”

500 Center Ave, Martinez“Community Concern For Cats, puts on an adoption event every Saturday except for the 3rd one each month. They have a team of Selfless people who loves cats. Unfortunately all adoption organizations are over ran with cats. So if you are considering adopting or even fostering a cat or two check out Community Concern For Cats adoption event at Pet food Express 500 Center Ave Martinez, on Saturday. The team there has so much experience and love for these cats you can't go wrong.”
“I love this place very friendly Help. You won’t stand more than two minutes waiting for Help. If you look lost. They carry the very best pet food possible for our love ones. They’ll take back food if your pet doesn’t eat it. (I never tried an empty bag, so). They let you know of deals without asking. This store is very clean even with the DIY pet grooming stations that are clean as well that are also very busy. Awesome store”
“I have gone in for a few things before and it was always pleasant. Yesterday I needed dewormer and flea removal stuff for a very sensitive senior cat. The employee must have seen the look of confusion on my face and came over to assist me. She took the time to explain some of the products and the ones she uses. I really appreciate that personalized customer care. You can't get that with online shopping. Thank you Pet food Express Benicia”
“Very kind and friendly staff, and a wide selection of supplies for both cats and dogs as well as small pets such as reptiles, rodents and birds. They also have bulk scoop it yourself grain feed for rodents and birds!”
“Amber is a PRO at cat washing! I brought my feisty nearly 2 yr old dilute calico in and Amber kept her under control for the wash, condition, & dry! Nail trimming would have been included, but I did that before I came in because I was a bit nervous with how my gal might behave. Plus, that's not the part I have a challenge with. Booked out yes and SO WORTH seeing this HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WOWMAN at work! The price for the wash was very fair. Dynamite pets held true to the appointment time and got us out in less than 1/2 an hour from cat out of the bag to back in. I will definitely be back with my other cats and super happy that I was able to be patient with waiting for today to arrive!”
“We started coming to PFE in Martinez when we adopted our new puppy Brodie. The food he was on when we adopted him was causing him troubles so we went into PFE and Rachel taught us so much about dog food, I had zero clue about! I left feeling extremely knowledgeable about dog food and a strategy for our Brodie! We are two weeks into the new food post transition and all of our concerns/issues we were having with Brodie are gone and he is feeling so much better! I am so grateful for Rachel taking her time to educate us and help us make the best choice for our Brodie! Thank you PFE”
“Love the staff you're very helpful and my dog love them she's been coming here since I got her when she was 10 weeks old and now she's 10 years old. The staff has changed but their service and kindness hasn't.”
“This place is great and everyone here is super informational! Special Shout out to BRE!!! She helped us set up our two new ball python thanks showed us some afresh things around the store and was able to reference to recourses from her personal collection of animal information! I LOVED THAT !!! I hope she decides to own her own Petco franchise one day!!”

6000 Potrero Ave, El Cerrito“Pet Vet is an awesome resource and I recommend it to anyone in the area with pets. I first started shopping here because the flea meds were cheaper than at my vet's. There's a great selection of food and supplies (some hard to find) and you can get a lot of normally "prescription only" items. Some require a clinic visit but others like sub-q bags are easily available.”
“This young gentleman, Danny, helped me find the correct chain and chain links I needed. Very respectful and Helpful young man. I love coming to Tractor Suply because of Dannys outstanding customer service. Great Job TSC!!”
“Rachael took good care of my Ftenchie today. Besides me getting mixed up, going to Petco instead of PetSmart, making later than I already was, Rachael was kind, patient, and helpful. She offered me a great deal with their Summer special and ultimately fixed up my handsome grandpooch to look like somebody loves him. My son, the primary caretaker, wants to look like a hippie and his dog the same. SMH Thank goodness for this appointment!”
“This review is a little late, but I just have to let everyone know that if you're looking for a wonderful place for a nail trim- look no further! They were amazing! It's very hard to get my Akita to approve of anyone to do his nails! Bear is very dramatic & hesitant (I cut them in his quick & made them bleed when he was a puppy by accident) the ladies there were warm, friendly, & professional! We just moved here & needed a groomer. Bear walked in happy & never made a cry when they trimmed them. They're reasonably priced as well. We also love that they support local rescues, so I was extra happy to see them! We'll definitely be back for nail trims & look forward to them grooming Bear too! I was definitely surprised by how well it went, I expected him to at least make a little cry- but nothing! He left with trimmed nails wagging his curly tail Thank you Featherer Pet!”

“I've always found the staff friendly and helpful. But every time I'm there and Tyler is there, I feel extra pampered. He is so knowledgeable and helpful. He goes the extra mile to tell me lots of stuff I might not know. Way to go, Tyler @”
“I have 2 GSD and they have been there for me from the time I got both of my pups at 8 weeks. I was a first time dog owner and Dr. Ryan was so super helpful in guiding this new fur mom. My pups are now 3 years and they love their vets dr. Ryan and Dr. Jacobson as well as the friendliest team. Their CARE program has been super money saver. I just love that they even take the time to call soon after or text after treatment. I've even traveled in one incident and use their app to get answers from vet in their network. And the next Dayi got a text from Dr. Ryan to follow up..which was amazing.”
“I always take my dogs to get groomed here every month, they always come out, looking great with their nails grinded! Fun fact: they will take your dog in, even if they have fleas and will give them flea shampoo, it’s important to leave your flea dogs at home and groom them there as to not spread it, but as a last effort, Petsmart will groom the dogs with fleas.”

161 Plaza Dr, Vallejo“The service was excellent. Professional, courteous staff. But their system was down and I couldn’t use my reward points towards my purchase. That was disappointing.”
“This place is a hidden gem! Definitely support this business! They have cute parrots and animals they let you interact and see! They have very competitive prices! I was able to purchase two dog toys that are extra strength for my puppy for a SWEET deal. They also have some really great CUSTOM Collars they sell and you can even place an order online and make one PERFECTLY for you fur-baby! I will be coming back 100%! They also have snacks for dogs as well as the pet essentials! Give it a try!”
