So, I have been coming here for a few years now and it hadn't dawned on me to post a review until I visited yesterday for some pet supplies. Rachael and David, who I believe may be the owners, or at the very least managers (along with their staff), are always friendly, inviting and extremely knowledgeable about animals and what food, or toys may be best for your pet based on your circumstances. They are always inviting and willing to help. I have also found that the pet food products they carry are typically healthier for your pet, more so than you may find at the big chains and box stores. The quality and price points of the pet food are fair and they often times have promotions and discounts. Many of the promotions are buy 12 and get your next one free (ie; bag or case of food etc.). Also, on weekends they have vaccination clinics and sometimes adoption events. They even have a dog wash inside. Check with the store to find out when and how often the Vaccine clinics, pet adoptions and dog wash is available. This place is located in Modesto, in a shopping center that looks like an old western town (corner of Tully and Standiford). Bottom line, I am glad to have found a personable store for all my pets' needs and to be able to help support a local small business. read more

SERIOUSLY THE BEST PET STORE. The customer service here is always golden. They always go above and beyond here. We have been coming here for 7 years and still continue because of their quality in pet food, treats, toys && how they treat us, customers. Thank you guys for always being the best and our "go- to" with for our fur babies. read more

We get all of our pets' treats, food, bones, toys, accessories etc from Caldron's! We love the staff (they are all friendly and helpful). It's a little pricey, but the price is worth it to feed our animals quality food. Caldron's is honest and up front with their return policy (which is really good on almost everything). We will always go to Caldron's (as long as we live in modesto). read more

I love this pet store...the employees are always so helpful and knowledgeable too! I always say that Modesto doesn't have much, but at least it has a great pet store! :))) read more

Wow, how did we not find this place sooner?!? Staff was an absolute delight! They were all so helpful, kind and friendly. Despite walking in right before closing, we were met with so much positivity and we never once felt like we were a burden. They answered all our questions, took time to print out information sheets about caring for box turtles for my daughter and were very engaging. They have a dog wash that makes it super easy to wash your large dogs! They carry a great selection of quality pet food, treats, medicines, vitamins and accessories! read more

Very knowledgeable and helpful.Will always come here for the dog food and shampoo. And visit there beautiful birds!

I would like to start this off by saying this store has a very rude worker and their animals that they have in this store are in horrible living condition. they have a scarlet macaw that is so stressed out in her/his small cage. the bird has no room to fly around from the cage being shut/small the bird is constantly biting at the bars of the cage, she/hes very dirty, beak is discolored and looks like it's about to flake, its very un socialized and nippy when someone walks anywhere near the cage, they also have a corn snake thats around pre teen years that is in a 5 maybe 4 gallon tank, they have a red ear slider that is in a black bin that is far to small for its size of turtle, all the tortoises they have are the size of a courter and they are being sold. an adult scarlet macaw should be in at least a 10ftx10ftx 8ft high so the scarlet macaw can exercise and spread its wings and play. it has all of maybe 2-3 toys in its small cage and is clearly very stressed-scared-aggressive-and not in the correct living conditions. being at the store today a curse words slipped out of my mouth and the worker there yelled at me saying that "don't cuss in front of my bird." I proceeded to ask as a joke thinking he wasn't being serious he replied with aggression saying "if i hear you cuss in front of my bird one more time I'm kicking you out of my store." then he walked away from me before I had a chance to say anything to him. and if he didn't just walk away with an attitude I wouldve apologized and told him that it was an accident. my brother and I were talking and didn't even realize the bird was in front of us if I had realized then I'm not stupid I know that macaws talk/pick up new words. but anyways I wouldve been way more careful with what I was talking about. mind you i understand that this man didn't want to have his bird cursing. but this situation should've been approached very differently. I wasn't doing anything wrong I was simply there to shop and in doing so I own reptiles of my own and the way that they're housing their reptiles and birds is not okay. the parakeets are also in very very small cages in pairs of 3-4 birds in one very small cage mind you the cage isn't even it's full length the have it blocked in half turning it into an even smaller cage. these birds and animals deserve way better than how they're being housed currently. read more

My sis & I been coming here for years for out dog food and treats. They even have a loyalty program where you buy a number of bags of dog food and get 1 free! The employee here know us by a first name basis and they are always so helpful and friendly. They make sure you are taken care of. Theyre not the type of employees to just ring you up and go, they literally are interest in how your day is going and how your life is. I love it. They also have a parrot that talks your whole visit. You can't see him unless you look for him but he or she is always along "hello" lol We come here every 3 - 4 weeks. read more

Great place and really great customer service. I only get my dogs food from here and the pet wash is really great too. The water is warm and they have a blow dryer that you can use after you wash your pet. They do supply everything you need but a towel so bring your own lol. Also it's 1st come 1st serve so I call ahead just to see if it's busy or not before I go read more

I absolutely love this pet store. I will keep going here, but I am begging the owners, please stop selling rats as pets. I was informed they are all inbred now causing major heath issues. I grew up with rats, out of the 5 I had; NONE of them had a single health issue. They all died around 3-4 from just old age. but watching my two girls suffer a little over a year later is horrible ( my 6th and 7th rat). One has major breathing issues(and is soo skinny) and the other has a now massive tumor.) Less than a year later I am going to be forced to spend 100$ per rat to put them down. This expensive and heart breaking. Please please stop selling rats!! read more

Great pet supply store. Great customer service. Employees are very helpful. Rachael, the store general manager, is knowledgeable, friendly, and so kind. Rachael has been at this store for many years. She assisted us recently regarding our sick kitty. We appreciate the insight she gave. These people care about animals. They have a do your own pet wash. Call first. Bonus- Every Saturday, except for a few, call first, there is a clinic where you can get your pets their shots, etc. Easy location to find. Off of Tully and Standiford. Give it a try. We've been shopping there for 18 years. We highly recommend Caldron's Pet Supply in Modesto. read more

Great and friendly staff, and great products! They carry a lot of products other pet stores do not. read more

This was the first pet store I visited upon adopting my dog. They are very helpful and organized. I bought the bully sticks and other treats. They also had a bbq event where they had a sale on certain items so I definitely stocked on my baby's food. :-) The prices are on the pricier side and I suggest you let your dog try out the flavors/brands before you buy a large bag. My dog didn't end up liking the salmon flavor and peas from a certain brand so I had to take it back. The good thing is they have samples to give you and make sure you have your receipt and stay within the time frame of the purchase date. Over all, a good family-owned pet supply store. read more

Love this pet store! Staff & other customers are so warm & friendly. Great selection of products.

I've been in this store several times. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They love what they do and it shows. They are knowledgeable and helped me pick the best dog food when I first got my dog. They have a wide variety of food and treats. Jack loves going in there and they always give him treat. Jack ended up having a seizure but also had pancreatitis. They helped me find the perfect raw food formula and within a week, Jack was so much better. I will be a loyal customer! read more

If you're looking for a pet store with endless supplies and great customer service, I highly recommend Caldron's Pets Choice! The employees are knowledgable, helpful and welcoming! There's a variety of dog toys and great selection of food! The store is always kept neat and clean. The owners are kind and personable. I promise you, Caldron's Pets Choice will NOT disappoint! read more

Caldron's is a good place to buy dog food. They have a good selection of high quality dog foods in stock when other places are out. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The only real complaint I have is that Caldron's doesn't price match. read more

This review is for the diy pet bath. My 1st experience there another customer yelled at me to hurry up, that I was taking to long. I was using 1 bath and there was 1 free. Rude patron was no fault of the store or staff but it wasn't pleasant. 2nd time there my dog refused to eat 48hrs after bath. After 4 days of not eating & lethargy with noticeable scabs which she has never had before. She yelped in pain with even a light touch. Took her to the vet and she contracted a bacterial skin infection which requires antibiotics, medicated wash and of course the Vet fee. The $12 bath cost me a lot more in the long run. I'm hoping this review helps them adjust their sanitation standards . If I do return, I will definitely pre-sanitize the area myself. I do recommend the pet store part of the premises as the workers are helpful and friendly. read more

The Red or Rose Breasted Cockatoo is my new favorite bird. They had two of them here that were so cute. I don't think they were for sale because there wasn't a sign up. They did want their pretty little heads scratched though. If I had a bigger house and money to get one I totally would. Now to the rest of the store. They carry a very good selection of dog food. I would probably come here for dog food rather than the big box stores. Also, they have a small pond with fish & turtles in it, and a collection of small rodents. The store is remarkably clean. I was greatly impressed by how clean it was in here. This would be my go to pet food/supply store if I lived closer. read more

First timer! Didn't get a chance to walk around but we'll be back! Only place we found that had Zignature. Staff was friendly too

I will always recommend this business they are more like friends always super helpful kind and willing to assist with anything you might need to find. The prices are usually pretty reasonable but I will pay a little more for the service I receive. read more

I have been using Sparkles Pet Wash, just stumbled upon this pet store and seen they have a pet wash too. I used it this morningit was awesome. Warm water and warm dryer for my puppy. Oh and it was unlimited on both! Only $12. They supply the shampoo and it's the good stuff. The employees were so kind and knowledgeable. Their hours are awesome too! This will be our weekly hangout! read more

I'm a first time puppy mommy with so many questions. I appreciate that the staff has always been patient with me and has offered many excellent suggestions. They carry a MULTITUDE of dog foods and will accept returns if a particular food doesn't work out. Their selections of treats and healthcare products are high quality products. I'm very satisfied with what this store has to offer. read more

It's your old school neighborhood pet store, loved your staff. Found everything we needed

Love this little place. Calm and pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff so far. They don't always have what I need but they do have a great Holistic and healthy pet food selection and also CBD oils and hemp products for pets. My dogs love the treats I have gotten from here and they have a lot of good brand and good quality products. Love their collar and leash selections! My girl has been wearing her collar and leash we got for over a few months and it's still in great condition! This is one of my favorite stops when some of the high end retail pet stores don't have what I want. A little high priced but not a whole lot more than any other pet store and worth the prices. read more

My husband and I went in to check out this pet store, we had concerns about our dogs and the young girl was so knowledgeable and had so much information for us. Then she gave us so many samples of the dog foods to try which was so cool because our dogs are very picky and they loved all the samples! We are definitely going to be making this our pet store. I love when I go to a store and have a question about a product and the person helping know what they're talking about. My kinda store. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I mean where do I even start. The staff is amazing and so helpful. They actually know what they are talking about and if they don't know that find someone there who can help,they wont feed you a empty line of BS to make a sale. They really do care for your questions and concerns.i have come here for a while for many different things. Their bathing area for dogs is great!!!!!! Perfect for any size dog. Iv used it a number if times for my big dog and just love it. I recently had a behavioral problem with my cat and Rachel was all kinds of helped I called the store to speak with her as advised my the other employee because she was not in the time I had gone *again didnt feed me BS they knew who could help the most and advised me to call or come in when she was available, anyway. Rachel gave me so many tools and tips to help my cat resolve her problems. We r on the road to happiness. The products they are are the best not crap they care about what they're selling and promoting. I really appreciate everything they have done for me and my animals.i love supporting this place And the dog wash works great for large dogs. If u have a problem honestly it's you not the facility. They have everything you need. 20 min of water time is plenty. They have a place where u can hook the leash up near the tubs that r perfect size. When I went I washed my dog twice and the water was still running and i rinsed her really really well. The blow dryer is great but my dog freaks so I just bring towels. Everything here is perfect for what they r providing. It's a self service dog wash not a groomers so ya things might get a little wet. It's fun, it works. Honestly I rather have the mess there then in my tub lol. read more

I have felt so inclined to write this review since I left the store yesterday with my son. We went into the store to purchase dog food and while shopping we were approached by every employee with the most pleasant greeting and eagerness to help us find what we were looking for. To top off our experience on this visit, Rachel provided me the most rewarding experience with engaging my son and I about so many different topics and pet related things. She was so pleasant and knowledgeable regarding the saltwater fish selection. We drove away with a feeling that you don't normally receive at any retail location. This was an experience that both my son and I were so happy to receive. A huge thank you to the entire staff at Caldron's and we will always make this our first choice for any of our pets needs! read more

They have all the best foods, treats and toys for my pup. Literally a one stop shop for anything I'd need. Customer service is really good too, very friendly, and helpful. Ask them anything you're not sure about such as nutrition for your specific dog, they're excellent! read more

On our way home from this place and let me tell you... the service was exceptional. The lady Ellen was so nice and so helpful. We just got Sulcata turtles and we didn't have a lot of info. She went out of her way to give us information and make sure we knew what we needed. She was totally awesome and they def gained another customer. We will be coming here for all our animal/reptile needs. So glad we found this place read more

Stopped in here today to pick up a treat for my puppy (it was her birthday today and I am one of those pet owners). I was in the shopping center picking up dinner, so i figured why not! The selection of dog toys is really sparse, so I decided on a new rawhide treat. They carry a brand I had never seen before, but my puppy gobbled it up so I guess she approves. The selection of products for cats and dogs is pretty limited. However, they seems to have a rather large selection of supplies for reptiles and fish. I agree with Charlie though, the store is a bit crowded. The clerk who rang me up was lethargic and really seemed to want to go home, but the girl who was working beside him impressed me. She was advising a customer about..something involving her frogs. The girl seemed very knowledgeable about reptiles, and pets in general, so at least they have someone on staff with an extensive knowledge. read more

I really like this shop. The amount I paid for crickets is reasonable. The young woman behind the counter overheard me talking about wax worms and advised me that they keep them in-stock. She was really helpful in advising me how to store them as well. I love their prices; very competitive when compared to other establishments. This is my new favorite place for all of our reptiles needs. read more

Great place to buy fishes! We have a 50 gallon saltwater tank & went to Tropical Haven & had a horrible experience. The girls at Pet Choice are so friendly and helpful. They knew exactly what fishes were compatible with the ones we already have. We'll be back again next week to get some more :) read more

Got a 30lb. bag of Sportmix cat food. My cats loved it. Staff is really nice and helpful.

I've recently become more conscious about what i feed my dogs and switched them to this awesome organic food that you mix with water , honest kitchen . They love it and this is the only place that has it. They have a good collection of dog food and other items. The place was way bigger than I expected. great store and its always great to support local business especially after hearing the atrocities committed by both pet co and pet smart . I would highly recommend going here if you don't want to prematurely kill you pet with crap food . read more

Great selection of Quality dog food. The staff was so hopefully and even gave some education on the products I was looking at.
