Pet Food Express
912 Diablo Avenue, NovatoWe stopped by Pet Food Express on Diablo Avenue looking for a specific dog food for our finicky puppy, and while we couldn’t find it on the shelves after a few minutes of searching, the experience turned out to be a great one. A friendly gentleman who had warmly greeted us at the door immediately came over to help, checked the racks himself, and confirmed it was out of stock. Rather than just leaving it at that, he offered to call another nearby location to see if they had it available.
He asked us to wait while he personally called to confirm inventory so we wouldn’t waste a trip, and once he verified they had it, he even asked them to hold a bag for us until we arrived. That level of follow-through and genuine care is rare. The store itself was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, but what really stood out was the customer service. It was thoughtful, proactive, and exactly the kind of experience that earns repeat customers.

Pet Food Express
5800 Nave Dr, NovatoAfter stopping at another nearby Pet Food Express and finding out the specific dog food we needed was sold out, the staff there kindly called this Nave Drive location to confirm it was in stock and asked them to hold a bag for us. We arrived about 30 minutes later, and sure enough, it was waiting at the counter with our name on it. That kind of coordination saved us time and made the extra drive completely worthwhile.
While we were there, we picked up a couple of additional items, and the associate helping us was extremely friendly and attentive. She walked us to the right sections, answered our questions, and made sure everything we selected was exactly what we wanted. We were in and out in less than twenty minutes, fully stocked and ready to keep our little furry friend happy.
The store itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, with clearly labeled aisles and a good selection of food, treats, and essentials. Parking in the shopping center is convenient, which makes quick stops easy. Overall, this location stands out for its efficiency and genuinely helpful customer service.

Animal Outfitters
171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd, NovatoThis used to be a "5" for many pet need purchases, especially dog&cat fashions! But the pet shop has been downsized recently, and the store space is vacant now. Plans to be used for other needs of Marin Humane. (Sad loss of a cute little pet shop!)

Trimmers And Paws
904 Grant Avenue, NovatoMy family and I absolutely ADORE Natalie! She has such a special way of making our three pups feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and they always come home looking better than ever.
Dog grooming truly is a form of health care for our dogs, and every time we leave our pups with Natalie, we can genuinely see and feel the difference. We have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and capable hands.
Beyond being incredibly talented at what she does, Natalie is just a wonderful person. She’s warm, kind, and truly a blessing to the Novato community. Don’t hesitate to book with her!

25 Commercial Boulevard, NovatoThey truly care about your pets here. After one of my dogs died, I received a sympathy card from them along along with notification of a donation made to UC Davis veterinary in my dog's name. I was so touched.
Beyond the caring, they are very competent and practical. They're not just looking to rack up charges with various scans, etc. I live in Sausalito but make the drive up to Novato because they are far better than the VCA chains.

PuppyLuv Academy Inc.
936 B 7th Street, NovatoKelli is as knowledgeable, wonderful and friendly in person as she is on the phone! When I follow her advice, looking keenly at the dogs around us in any situation, it increases my awareness of what is going on with the dogs I am with and if I do as Kelli has shown me within a couple of hours or less, I know what they are up to and what could happen next! I now prevent uncomfortable situations with my young Shepard mix who wants to herd dogs even! Kelli is great in all situations and is helping me and my son have a better relationship with our dog. From the first session she is showing me how to have Princess Kitty make friends with other dogs! Kelli is a master dog communicator- from dog body language of all the dogs to subtle and quick changes in the eyes of dogs - and is a phenomenal trainer hands down the best I'm met. She understands what dogs at up to at all moments, and all the possibilities of what could happen next. Kelli may work with puppies but she easily works well with my 50 lb active shepherd as well as my son's friends terrier a 8 lb rescue from the streets of California. Kelly understands dog body language and dogs so well she can predict their next moves easily. Great trainer wonderful lady who truly speaks dog! I would highly recommend her in any situation with any dog, or even if you want to get to know your dog better and make more doggie friends! Sky's the limit with Kelli, expect Miracles!

Teddy & Friends Pet Care
708 Bradley Ave, NovatoWe feel so lucky to have found Diane. Until she came along, our dog was not very welcoming to other dogs when he was on a leash. But with Diane's help, our old dog learned how much fun it is to hang out with a pack. We started by introducing my pup to Teddy the gentle giant. And now, Teddy and friends are part of his pack. I highly recommend Diane. She is gentle and wonderful and has brought Uli a lot of joy in his mature years. Thank you Diane!

Marvin's Breakfast Club
1112 Grant Avenue, NovatoClassic diner, feels a bit grimy but the food was delicious EXCEPT the special. I had the Country Benedict with the potatoes. Sadly there not a lick of seasoning , a little salt could’ve went a loonnng way. The gravy was delectable but the potatoes had a freezers burn taste and lacked flavor. The pancakes take it home there . If you come to Marvin’s for anything it’s the pancakes and cornbeef hash.

Marin Coffee Roasters
1551 South Novato Boulevard, NovatoI gave five stars all the way across. Although I’ve got to admit, there isn’t much of an atmosphere in a drive-through coffee place, but where atmosphere lacks, its made up for by the friendly staff. Been going through here for years several times a week. Nice to get to know the servers.
I used to go to the main coffee roasters in the shopping center on ignacio Boulevard, but I found out a few years ago that I drive by the one in Novato every morning, and it is much easier.
As always, the staff is pleasant to talk with a very friendly. Claudia runs a tight ship, always nice to see young people doing a good job and working hard at anticipating my order and getting it right!
(They all represent the business well especially Steven)
Keep it up Tammy and Tim, you’ve got a good thing going.
… Only thing I miss from what I used to get at the ignacio store, is the pecan bars. Those came To the Novato stop that would be great!
