“My go to place for dog washing. They literally have a buy three, get one free dogwash.Cinter, where they provide you with two towels.Each for the dogs, and when you go back to the secluded room.There are two wash baths, two dryers and combs, along with shampoos and conditioners.Already set up for you.All you gotta do is bring your dirty dog. The water pressure and the nozzles are perfect for my Shiba. Inus and when we're done there, there's a whole dog aisle where I get a little treat from my dogs. I very much appreciate this store and their customer service.I only wish that other customers who do dog washing would clean up after themselves.So that the workers don't have to do it at night.”
“Leslie is amazing with my dog. I highly recommend her to anyone! She is very friendly and caring, and the dogs respond well to her and you could tell she’s doing this from her heart”
“I had a great experience today with Valerie. She was so helpful ! helping me pick the proper Gentle Lead and in addition explain how to put in on the dog correctly! She was terrific and friendly.”
“Nice selection of chicks! Love to support local and the staff is very helpful. First time raising hens from them! Very happy we go to Hawthorne for our feed needs.”
“Went to Vetco was totally amazed! Dr. CAMILA DE Andino is kind, sweet and personable. She got on the floor with my old dog and gave her a hug they treated me and my dog so well! I'm super thankful my vet started raising prices so high ... I was forced to go to vetco. Best vet ever! Reception was kind. Vet tech was amazing. The office is clean. People stop by to say hello. Good vibes and an all around A+++++ I highly recommend taking you pets there!”
“We have two cats and two dogs, and we've been feeding them raw food for a while now. IB Pet Store has been a lifesaver! The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, offering great advice on raw feeding. The selection of products is outstanding, with plenty of options for both our cats and dogs. It's not easy finding high-quality raw food, but IB Pet Store has tons of terrific choices, and we feel confident that we're providing the best for our pets.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch pet food and excellent customer service!”
“I went in to buy some pet food for my fur baby and learned some great benefits of raw pet food they were super knowledgeable and helpful. My fur baby loves it this is the only place I will be buying our pet food from now on. Thanks Jordan”
“Kahoots is my all time Favorite now! I did research on Diatomaceous Earth today! The young man took me right to it when I said dirt fleas are getting on my FurBaby. And it's USDA Food Grade in Kahoots! Be careful because this store has EVERY pet need! U ROCK Kahoots!#GayleJustSpoke

“Absolutely loved my experience here. Rachel was great with introducing us to the experience. You get plenty of hands on time with the cats. They had all sorts of age ranges and personalities. I hope to adopt here in the nearby future.”
“Excellent shop. I came in looking to add some decor and general upgrades for this enclosure. His tank before was very barren (only sand and hide). Shawn was very knowledgeable and helped me make a quick selection of upgrades. Pictured is the current state, and I will be adding some live plants today. Thank you Shawn, I will be back!”
“Recently got into freshwater fish. i’ve tried a few places and with most places staff just ignores you after sitting around staring at tanks. I decided to give this store a chance and let me tell you how nice it feels to be greeted at the door and to have someone almost immediately ask you what it is that you’re looking for. The gentleman who helped me was VERY knowledgeable and helped me pick out what would best suit my tank. i will be shopping here for any supplies and fish in the future. The store was very cleanly and all the fish looked happy and healthy compared to other stores i’ve been too, and they have a really good supply of different fish both salt and fresh and many more exciting things. if i could rate this place higher than a 5 star i would!”
“Excellent Pet Store ~ such a variety. Great prices. Friendly people working in the store to help you find what you are looking for.
Thank you for the 2024 PET Calendar

“Recently moved from AZ to California and started using real raw two months ago. My three dogs love the food. It’s great quality, good pricing and very healthy for them. So glad I found real raw on the Internet.”
“I wouldn't bring my furbabies anywhere else! I used to live 1.5 hours north of Santee and would drive my furbabies down to Bostone's to get them groomed that is how wonderful this business is! Thankfully, I am back living locally now!
Support your small local business in Santee. You won't be sorry and your pooch will love you for it!”

“Very clean and well organized store. I was able to find the dog food that I needed because it was completely out at Walmart.
I was really grateful to be able to find it on the way home.”
“Took my dog in a little after they opened! Was immediately greeted by Lee Ann who helped me get my dog ready for a bath! Thank you for being so kind and helpful! Even got him a toy and some good smelling spray! Hea one clean, happy dog!! Will return again!”
“It's always entertaining to bring my dog and my bearded dragon at the same time. Play definitely make my animals feel like family play they've come home”
“Great feed and supply store. They have a variety of products for both large and small family farmers. Prices are very reasonable, and the owner and his crew are very helpful.”
“Our pups absolutely love the Venison & Zucchini recipe!
After two long months of trying to get Yumi and Yoshi’s sensitive stomachs back on track, we finally found something that works. Yumi has poultry allergies, and both of them have had on-and-off gut issues, so finding a food that’s both gentle and nourishing has been a huge challenge.
We’ve been feeding them the Venison & Zucchini recipe for about two months now, and the results have been amazing — no digestive flare-ups, their stools are consistent, and they genuinely love mealtime again. Their coats look healthy, energy levels are steady, and they’re thriving on this clean, limited-ingredient food. I also really appreciate the use of novel proteins and organic ingredients — it gives me so much peace of mind knowing exactly what goes into their meals.
And I can’t say enough good things about their customer service. When we had a UPS delivery issue, they immediately made sure Yumi and Yoshi didn’t miss a meal and went above and beyond to get our food on time. It’s rare to find a company that cares this much.
Another big plus — they’re local, and their food is even available in some retail stores nearby, which is super convenient if I ever run low before my next delivery.”
“The best dog groomer around! Would not trust anyone else with our furry babies. Jordan, Virginia and Landon are skilled groomers and love animals. If you have a doggie who needs a new do, or a kittie who needs a bath or whatever try them out. You will be glad you did!”
“I’ve been going here for years. My girl Bailey uses daycare here weekly, and still scratches at door trying to get in, she absolutely loves it! I get all of Bailey’s food and treats here and Angela’s knowledge and advice on any concerns is beyond measurable.
I recently boarded Bailey here, and if you are reading reviews you understand, the peace of mind knowing your loved one is well taken care of is the only way you can travel. The videos of them while away is an extra bonus?.
Angela and the staff here are the very best!!”
“I Had an extremely busy day, butcould not go to sleep without leaving this review because Sydney was so compassionate understanding and just has a positive aura about her that I really appreciate. She has no idea that I have had the roughest week ever, but her kindness in her energy and not to mention her amazing work That she did all my dogs that I haven’t had groomed in a while due to health reasons. She REALLY got me through the day, and I truly hope that she sees this because she deserves every ounce of praise. I will continue to go to her every single time . If I could leave 10 stars, I would do it thank you so much Sydney ❤”

“My Tato ( Maltipoo) and I love coming to this store. Very clean and well stocked. If I have a question, always someone on the floor to help- you don’t have to search for them. The prices and clearance are irresistible- how do they stay open with such great deals here. Lucky it’s close to home.”
“I’ve been there It’s the best pet shop Ive ever gone to there great with animales. And they hand feed the baby birds they always keep there cages clean and there great with helping people I don’t know why some people like to walk in and start complaining and like saying that the birds weren’t healthy when there really are they must have been doing something wrong because I see the workers there always feeding them even cutting up fruit and vegetables for them like apples and cucumbers.”
“Please have 1 time a week where you schedule two groomers at the same time so that I can book both dogs at the same time.
Currently, your store/managers policy is to only allow 2 dogs to be dropped off if I book with the same groomer. This isn’t ideal since you leave one dog kenneled while you work on the other.
You do not allow me to drop off two dogs if I book two different groomers at 11 and 12pm since you schedule your workers apart rather than overlap.
I want to minimize the time my dogs are kenneled.”
“So much fun on a Saturday afternoon.
My daughter and I drove over from Chula Vista to find a few future egg layers for our back yard.
As we entered the store we were greeted with a warm country greeting and a wealth of knowledge and information. They had a great selection of young hens and we went home with three of them that are growing fast and adapting nicely. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else. Thanks to everyone for such a positive experience.”
