“Our anxious dog loves it here! We have been doing private lessons with Meg for the past couple of months and it’s made a massive impact on our pup’s confidence and listening skills when overwhelmed. Our dog typically hates new places and gets scared easily but this has been a safe and fun place for her. We will happily keep going and highly recommend.”
“Took my borzoi here for a self service bath and it was fantastic! Jen & Kristi took care of our needs. They both have intuition of what supplies and tools may be needed while also giving me and Maggie our own space to get her clean. I’m grateful for this service and you can really tell that they care about providing an excellent service. Thank you! Love supporting this small business ♥︎”

“My favorite place to shop in the San Mateo area - the staff is helpful and professional, and the buy-3-get-the-4th-free deal on our dogs' food keeps me coming back!”
“All the locations are great for affordable DIY dog washes. This location is our favorite because the parking is easy and free (!!), and the water for the baths is warmer than the local average.”
“Exceptional Experience at Bernal Beast!
I discovered Bernal Beast during my walks with my new dog, Little Bear, and after noticing the store’s training offerings, I decided to give it a try. The classes I wanted to join were full, so I opted for a private “Ask the Trainer” session—and I am so thankful I did!
From the moment I contacted the trainers, I felt at ease. Erika and Stephanie (the amazing folks running the training program) were incredibly understanding and helpful when I made a mistake with my booking, going above and beyond to get everything sorted.
When Little Bear and I finally met Erika, I could immediately tell we were in great hands. By the end of the session, I felt like I had learned so much, and I left with renewed confidence as a dog owner. Erika is patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind—not just with my dog but with me, too. She showed us new techniques, went over some of the basics, and took the time to ensure I wasn’t overwhelmed. I felt supported every step of the way.
Bernal Beast is more than just a training center, though. The store itself is wonderful—clean, easy to navigate, and always stocked with great pet products. The staff here are all friendly and welcoming. Little Bear is a bit nervous around new places, but the staff’s patience and generosity make each visit a positive one. They spoil her with treats, give great recommendations without pressure, and genuinely care about the pets they serve.
I can’t recommend Bernal Beast enough. Whether you’re looking for training, pet products, or just a welcoming space for your fur baby, this place has it all. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Erika (and Stephanie, who I’m sure is just as amazing) to help build that bond with your pet. We can’t wait for our next visit and to continue learning from Erika!”
“Everything about this store my dog absolutely loves. From the staff to the food and treats, to the other cats and dogs she meets there. Not to mention it's in a great location; we can have a day out at one of the many parks in the area and then end with a visit to Pawtrero for a bath and treats. This is our new go-to for all her needs!”
“This place is a real animal loving business! They have a program where they offer free food for pets living in poverty. No judgement just kindness n compassion. I love this place ...”
“We've been getting pet supplies here for years and this is the best pet store in the area! You can find everything you need here, plus their price is unbeatable! The two shop ladies are the kindest person, they always gave us dog treats for free and greeted us like friends. We recommended this shop to all of our pet owner friends!”

“Great dog washing station with good water pressure, and plenty of treats and towels. However there are only 4 stations so if it’s a busy day you might have to wait. Also make sure to get extra soap since it doesn’t really come out with the water when washing.”
“Love my local pet store for quick pick ups. They have the training treats my pup likes as well as a nice selection of collagen chew sticks and other things. Vibe is super chill and the fountain outside is nice and my pup seems to enjoy it.
Both my dogs like coming here and pull once we get close. Service is great pups got a bonus treat a few times.”

“amazing pet store with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. we love their self serve dog wash area! $18 for 25mins is well worth it for a large doggy. the dog wash has everything you need - shampoo, conditioner, water, hose, leash, aprons, blow dryer, etc. highly highly recommend!”
“I ordered two cakes for a doggie birthday party, and Pawpatch knocked it out of the park! I almost didn’t want the pups to eat them because of how amazing they looked ?
Huge hit with the pups too. Honestly, their cakes looked and sounded so appealing, multiple humans were tempted to taste test them.”
“This is our neighborhood pet store but I’ll continue to come here once we move to a different spot in the city. Has everything we need for our dog and more. They stay up to date on new toys and brands so much so that it almost feels like they are anticipating our needs. Everything they have is high quality, we can buy there without worry that it will be worth the price. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, plus, their window displays are top tier and make me smile every time I walk by. We love Noe Valley Pet Co and all they bring to the neighborhood!”
“Staff was friendly, and they had a good selection. The charcoal treats from last time weren't there, but the attendant was able to direct me to a suitable replacement. They were also and to direct me to a good bodily fluid cleaner”

“Came across this spot yesterday and it's very worth the 20 minute walk for me. Lots of bulk items so you can try out bones/chews/treats without a commitment. The prices are also super reasonable”
“I’ve had a great experience with SF Raw for 6+ years. My dog is 11 years old and still
going strong and I contribute that to getting a fully balanced sf raw diet. The quality of their products is the best on the market & everything I’ve purchased for my dog is always fresh and consistent. They have a wide variety of meat options sourced with care. If you're looking for high-quality, reliable raw pet food, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!”
“We took our 6-year old Portuguese Water Dog, Mila, to Scout's house for several months after a bilateral TPLO surgery. Everyone at Scout's House was wonderful! They were very knowledgeable, provided effective exercise plans, and great instructions for us on how to work with Mila at home. Mila has great range of motion, and she's rapidly building strength in her back legs. On top of all of this, they kept it fun - Mila was always excited to meet the team and go inside. Highly recommend if you are looking for good recovery support!”
“These ????? are for the VIP PET CARE Team at Pet Food Express in Burlingame on Saturdays, since they do not have real physical locations. Thank you for all your tender, love, and care for both our cats these few years! ? Grateful for VIP PET CARE!
Thanks Pet Food Express for partnering with them and allowing them in the neighborhood to serve the community. ? Very organized and clean store, one of the best places to shop at.
For those who don’t know about VIP PET CARE, they are legit the BEST pet service in the Bay Area. Locations all varies depending where you locate.”
“Decided to try this local store versus the large box stores or online. Prices are comparable and some items even lower in price. Plus the customer service is excellent as staff extremely helpful and friendly. I will not hesitate going back to West Pawtal Supply and continue to support this gem of a local business.”
“Super aesthetic + cute store. They have a surprisingly wide selection, including independent brands not found elsewhere in SF. They also stock the well-known national brand names as well. Hard not to walk out without getting something adorable or yummy for your pooch.”
“I recently visited Critter Fritters and was blown away by their excellent service and knowledgeable staff. Tony, in particular, was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions and providing me with the right product for my mother's dog as I am not a pet owner myself.What really impressed me was their stock of motion sickness medication. My mom's dog has a history of getting sick during car rides, and it's always been a struggle to find the right solution so that Mollie can visit my daughters. Critter Fritters had just what I needed, and it worked like a charm!Overall, I highly recommend Critter Fritters to any pet owner looking for quality products and friendly service. Thank you, Tony and the rest of the team four paws and 2 thumbs up!”
“This review is for training with Stephanie! She is fantastic. Seriously cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She has helped us with our two puppies, so much. Week 1 they were scared to say hi to big dogs, fast forward to week 6 and they are booping noses with a dog about 80 pounds heavier than them. Don’t get confused, she is tough but there is so much love in her. She shares it with you and your dog. Definitely pick her class if you are looking for a wonderful trainer!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about The Animal Company. My family and I purchased a baby African Grey parrot from them, and from day one, Ellen, Rick, and Lyz were outstanding. They guided us through every detail of caring for our first “big bird”—from feeding tips, safety advice, and living setup to helping us bond properly with our new companion, Moon.
Eight months later, Moon escaped her cage and flew out an open door. We were absolutely devastated, but The Animal Company stepped in and gave us the hope, support, and guidance we needed. They helped us call other stores and vets, reviewed and improved the lost-bird posters we made, and did everything in their power to help us find her. Thanks to their quick responses and caring approach, we were reunited with Moon within just one day!
We also board our birds here whenever we travel—our parakeets included—and we’re always confident they’re in great hands. It’s never about money for this family-run business, either. When we first got Moon, they allowed us to put down a deposit and pay over time. They even had us come in regularly to bond with her, feed her, and play before taking her home. These folks truly treat you like family.
The food they provide is top-notch and all-natural, not the usual big-box chain variety. Moon and our other birds thrive on it, which shows how passionate The Animal Company is about the well-being of animals. We’re beyond grateful for their expert knowledge, sincere kindness, and the loving environment they create. It’s wonderful to have such a dedicated, family-run store in our community, and we couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for our bird’s needs.”
“Incredible and caring staff, highly recommend to everyone. Always professional and they do excellent work!! this is the only petco i trust for grooming, they are very busy but always worth is and worth the wait!! this was suppose to be a 5 star review!”
“It has everything from small animals like hamsters, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, and lizards to cats and dogs. The staff is very friendly. There are also cat adoptions here on Saturdays and Sundays.”
“I was able to do curbside pick up! Excellent customer service! Will return again. Thank you to the team member who brought my order to my car. Very much appreciated.”
