“I had a fantastic experience with Christine from Animal Kingdom. I reached out for a mobile nail trim for my very shy and skittish cat, and she was super easy to schedule with. Most importantly, she was incredible with my cat! Confident and gentle and the whole thing was done in a matter of minutes. I'm so pleased I found Christine and I highly recommend her and Animal Kingdom!”
“Highly recommend the team at the Pet Affaire!! Stella always leaves squeaky clean smelling so fresh! I also completely trust them with Stella which is the most important part to me!!”
“I took my Bernedoodle to Paws and Effect for his very first grooming appointment, and to be honest, I was nervous. First-time groom, big fluffy puppy energy, and the emotional stability of a toddler after 3 Red Bulls? I didn’t know how he’d react but the check in staff was so patient and let me show them photos of how I wanted him to look!
When I picked him up… I almost cried. He looked amazing. Soft, fluffy, perfectly trimmed—but still looking like him. No overly shaved doodle disaster here. He was happy, wagging, and not at all stressed out. They clearly knew how to work with his personality, not just his fur.
I can’t recommend Paws and Effect enough. If you’ve got a doodle (or any dog, really) and want someone who actually cares about your pet’s experience and appearance—go see Kathy!
Four stars only because his mowhawk was a bit uneven but that probably because Benny wouldn’t stay still with the clippers and his nails are a tad too long but maybe that’s just my preference.”

“My dogs and I love Pet Foodie LA! Xavier and all of the Pet Foodie LA staff are so kind, really knowledgeable about their products and are huge animal lovers. Grooming is affordable, clean, and very attentive to their furry clients. We love all of their healthy treats, bones, and food choices as well as all of their cute beds and toys.”
“The kids that work there are amazing. Really helpful. Really knowledgeable! Ashley Asia Leslie Veronica Crystal I mean the list goes on. They've been there a while and I've seen management come and go but these kids are solid. I really hope that they don't get mistreated by management like I've seen happen in the past. May be Petco but Us locals see these kids as family and the store as our neighborhood establishment Go above and beyond where they can.”
“Review for grooming: my 20lb schnauzer was groomed by Sarah. Sarah was very kind, gentle and accommodating to Sierra’s special needs. Her haircut looks amazing and I picked her up happy and healthy. Def recommend Sarah!”
“Mike is the man. Our doodle, Dom, has always had stomach issues so Mike educated us about switching from traditional kibble to grain free and raw meat. Dom is so much happier/energetic, rarely has stomach issues, and loves his new food. He loves going to his favorite store every week to see his friends and get unique treats. THANK YOU MIKE”
“Bring your own towels. The ones they gave me to use were filthy. The shampoo dispensers on the wall were empty. I had to ask for shampoo. They are supposed to open at 10:00 they were not. I gave up at 10:20 and went back later.”
“Out "go to" store for cat food. I appreciate that PetCo is committed to carrying only high quality pet foods. The staff is always helpful and friendly. A consistently enjoyable shopping experience!”
“I have been using Chill Paws Full Spectrum 500mg CBD oils and I've really seen a difference in my dog. I've just added the oil into my dogs food and he eats it up!
I really appreciate the customer service as well when I contacted them with questions. They have made our dogs so much more calm on our trips to the groomers and vet.”
“Very nice staff that clearly love dogs. My dog tricks me into coming here every time we walk past. Their prices are pretty good and they always have a bargain bin every time I've gone.”
“Everyone that works here is super friendly & upbeat! I always feel like I am walking into a positive environment & we do a lot of trips here for our Bearded Dragon & Fish needs! Charles ~ The Real Aquaman - as I call him - has changed my fishtank management life w his phenomenal advice on how to keep it clean & give me a life back not having to clean the heck out of it each month! He is so sweet & it's always a highlight for me when he's there & we can have a hug & a chat! It's SO REFRESHING & INSPIRING to interact w people that actually love their job & are really good at it too! Thanks Guys! You mean a lot to my family!”
“Knew of the brand when they opened a brick and mortar in say 2006ish, but didn't venture in. Wish we had! Flash forward, we and our dogs fell in love with the food, brand and staff while in Seattle and since back in Cali, have been all about making this our dogs staple diet. WE have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the staff and the love they put into their food each and every week. Tre, at their Santa Monica location, has been personable, illustrates attention to detail with each and every transaction and remembers that our dogs love the tofu and macaroni themed recipes. Previous employees were like Tre, just exceptional. If you are tired of buying different foods to keep your dog interested or just a savvy consumer who wants the best food for your dog, thinking longterm health, providing the best opportunity for your dog to have the best life possible! Well, Just Food For Dogs is that best life! Our dogs have stamina, good coats, healthy blood and metabolisms that run like clockwork, due to Just Food For Dogs. Thank you Tre, you represent the best of the brand. With your knowledge and attention to detail combined with your natural ability to connect with a customer, you make the decision to visit the store with limited free time a wise investment in our dogs health.”
“A westside gem. A wonderful place with friendly expert staff. They have great pets and sound pet advice. They can help everyone from novices to experienced enthusiasts. Can't speak for most of the animals, but their hand fed birds are always really friendly and seem to receive a lot of positive attention. Also, somehow their pricing seems reasonable... Sometimes even more competitive than the big brand pet stores. And as a nice bonus there's usually ample parking.”
