New to Modesto first time to Caldron's. Be careful what you buy there. I spent $20 on Hemp treats that did not work and they won't exchange them. The store I use to go to it was 60 days money back guarantee. So I won't be going back to your store. My future shopping will be at the big pet stores, that guarantee my satisfaction. read more

I get wonderful guidance and advice on my ball python PLUS his live mice and my Great Dane's top of the line, can't find anywhere else, he only deserves the BEST dog food. I could live at this place. They're part of my family every bit as much as my 3 cats, 2 bunnies, dog and snake are! read more

Just got a cat tree for my little distructo kitty !They have great customer service! I didn't want to buy from the big chains. They called me as soon as they got their order in! Got a good price, and the kitty was all over the new cat tree! So glad I waited! read more

Caldron's Pets Choice - Pet Stores Near Me - Modesto, California

Very knowledgeable and engaging staff. They have continued to provide guidance ever since I acquired a ball python for my son 8 years ago.

Ok, these guys are always friendly and good with pets. That's one thing that I love about this place. But the best part is yet to come. They have a dog washing station. With the 90lb German Sheppard I got, there is nothing better than to be able to use someone else's shower to wash your pet. And seriously, for the little amount of money they were asking it was seriously worth it. These guys always try to go out of your way for their customers and is very nice to see that is a company. Especially one that deals with pet stuff for your furry family members. read more

This is a great place to treat your pet!! They have the best products for your pets and they stand behind them ...I had to bring a very expensive bag of dog food back because my princess didn't like it and would not eat it. I was vey nervous because it was $45.00 .... They took it back no problem...I was so relieved!!! I exchanged it for another bag that she indeed loved!! We will be forever customersthank you!!! read more

The best customer service! Super friendly, decent prices! Support your local businesses!!

Absolutely love this place!! They are very very knowledgeable and I always trust their opinion. From natural well vetted foods to natural supplements. I never second guess the quality of their products. This place is definitely for the big animal lovers. If you are getting your pets food at Walmart or target and ok with it you maybe a little overwhelmed at this store. But if you have a dog with cancer and trying every possible remedy and supplement possible to extend quality of life then this place is for you. Just like any store some of the employees are more knowledgeable then others. If you don't feel you question was fully answered ask another person. read more

Love the variety of what they stock for animals, and the compassionate, staff are so friendly and knowledgeable! We love supporting a local owned business:) read more

Is there truly a way to say how much I love, Love, LOVE this store. It's been around forever but I haven't had a dog in a while. My BFF and I wandered over 1 day, she knows this place, I didn't.....(Yep, another reason why she's my BFF!) They have a Great selection of durable toys for active pals!! Hard to find this kinda at a chain store! But they have everything for ALL pets!! Not just doggies! All they carry is high grade, good for your pet selections, so I feel safe getting treats for my G'Pup, that his Dad will approve of (at very good price too!!). The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. I always feel like I've made a new friend when I leave there..... Not to mention the added bonus of supporting small business! ( ...n Mr T's is across the parking lot!) read more

I agree with all of the positive feed back here. I shop there for my Fur Person ( he does not like the "D" word ) They are really into customer service and well informed. My dog is very picky when it comes to food and They have been very helpful in explaining what makes a good healthy dog food and ways to encourage Dodger to eat it. Not that he is spoiled but he gets bone in Steaks once a week and Full quarter Chicken (non Cooked) as well. This is a very good place for the best products and even better for pet information.

My granddaughter has two tree frogs and two box turtles. I buy my crickets and mealworms there. They answer any questions we have. Always happy and ready to help with anything you need. A really nice local owned pet store. Much better than the huge retail stores. read more

Best pet store I've been too very knowledgeable people working there made me feel like family!

Have been here 2 times. Bought some things once. New collar and leasch for puppy. They have lots of stuff in there but it is kind of crowded. Would go back if in the area and needed something. read more

I used to get my dog's expensive EVO food here. The food is awesome and I do not have any complaint about it. My only complaint, and the reason I will no longer shop here, is due to the pet birds they sell in their store. I can't believe that in 2015 pet stores in the US are still supporting the breeding and selling of intelligent, exotic birds destined to live the rest of their lives in a cage. It broke my heart to see a huge green-winged macaw (red) sitting in a small cage waiting for someone stupid enough to buy a bird that lives 50 to 80 years, outliving most of their owners. Birds should not be in the cage, especially a majestic macaw. So sad! DO NOT BUY EXOTIC BIRDS, THEY DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS. read more

Love going to this store. They have Feeders, pets and all the supplies you could need for your pets. Staff is awesome and always help you get what you need. read more

I am not sure where to even begin. Besides the fact that they are the only store in town that carries healthy, speciality dog food, it is the customer service that kept us as loyal clients for over 15 years. When are last dog got bone cancer, they helped with decisions on what was best to feed him. And when he would no longer wanted that food, they allowed us to exchange unused items. In the end, when he seemed to prefer people food, they were encouraging for us to do just that, with no pressure to buy any of their food. Rachel, was a so incredibly sweet during such a hard time...as well as the other workers. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars. read more

What a gem to find in Modesto! I was on the hunt for Orijen dog food but was not able to find a place (outside of the bay area) that sold it, until I found this place. They sell quality pet food at an affordable price. If you're a pet owner who's concerned about what you're feeding your pet and want to stay away from the big box pet store foods (like Iams, Pedigree, etc.) then take a look here. read more

I love his place the staff is very knowledgeable about pet health and nutrition. They know their products and stand by them 100 %! I go here for my dog for her food, toys, shampoo, paw balm, etc. I would highly recommend this pet store over any other pet store. read more

I love this place! They are so good with pets, and have such a wide selection. The bird food choice is great! Rachel is the BEST!

Disclaimer that I only went in to look at their fish section. Overall the store was a little unkempt and a quick perusal showed overpricing of small animal items. The fish section itself was expensive and not a lot of selection. Plus return policy is only for within 48hr with water sample for freshwater and no return for saltwater. Umm no thanks read more

If you had a large breed dog Do Not Use their self service dog wash. I went in their yesterday I normally use Dee's self service but they are closed on Sunday's so I thought I would try here. I have an Akita if anyone knows the breed they know they have 3 layers of fur. I paid for it then they handed a token I asked what was it for they stated it was for the water that it runs for 20 min What? I can't turn the water on get him wet turn the water off wash him then turn it back on to rinse him she stated no the water will continue to run for 20 min. (wasting water) I stated that my dog has 3 layers of fur I need to scrub him really well and that takes time what if i run out of time? She stated i would have to pay again for another token. Really? I go to give my dog a bath not to have to rush and not do it well. So since I paid I went ahead and went in. I got my dog up in the small tub, I went too hook him up to the collar thing they have to hold the dog I put the coin in and there was no water pressure at all. I was like how the hell am i going to wash my 3 layer fur dog in 20 min? as i am trying to wet him down my dog moved and the thing that was holding him popped off the wall he jumped out of the tub he shook water went ever where the sprayer kept going so now i am trying to get my 140 pound wet dog back up in the tub slipping all over finally got him back in the little tub rushing to get him soaped up and rinsed. I told my daughter to go ask for a towel since there was nothing in the room they told my daughter sorry we don't have towel. I was soaked not to mention i hurt my leg from slipping. plus with big dogs you let them shake then towel dry them before you dry them. after all that i go to turn on the dryer i am trying to dry him an hour later he is still wet. its cold outside i am not taken a wet dog out almost 2 hours to get him so what dry. i go to leave i am still soaked i told the guy that worked there my dog isn't that nice what does he do twice he tries to walk right in front of my dog. OMG... my anxiety was sky high by the time i left plus i was so cold & wet i had to go home and dry my dog some more at home. a job that normally takes me an hour took me 3 hours. Never again will I go here. when you see the ad for large breed dogs for their self service DON'T DO IT... this place it made only for small dogs. read more

This place is great! The whole staff is extremely friendly and they are very knowledgeable.

Really good people who not only run a good honest business but they also help so many animals find homes and they live animals! #1 animal store! read more

Pets Choice is the only place I buy dog food. The food that they sell has been researched. They are dedicated to stocking a variety of very good quality products that are not sold in chain stores. Pets Choice also sells raw food. The staff is well trained in nutrition and can answer questions. read more

Pet's Choice is great! I have been doing business with them for the past 10 years and have had nothing but great friendly service and quality products from them. The staff has always been very friendly and knowledgeable. They are eager to even help people out to the car with those large bags of dog and cat food! They really care about animals, people, and our community. We need to support locally owned and operated businesses like this so they will still be around after these tough times! read more

This is the only pet store close to my house that carries Orijen in the area, so of course I have no choice but to visit this store to buy food for my dog. It's a nice small store that is well kept with plenty of items for your pets needs. read more

The customer service is incredibly good, the selection of high quality dog food is stellar and the large birds, bunnies and guinia pigs are cute. They don't have a large selection of dog toys and such but they do carry raw marrow bones. read more

They are the only store in the area that I know of that carries boutique brands like Stella and Chewy's as well as some other raw, dehydrated and holistically conscious options. The company employees are very passionate and educated about current nutritional information. I love supporting the local community stores. Caldron's offers great products at competitive prices. read more

Just outstanding! I've been going there for years. I used to work in Modesto and surrounding area and it was convenient. Now that I'm retired I drive from French Camp, as they're so awesome it's worth the drive. When taking my dog on the leash was miserable, they showed me a handy little product to attached to his leash & collar and tested it out on him to see if it truly would work -- worked in under 5 minutes, and has worked for me ever since. When there was there was the huge pet food scare some years back and when certain brands had problems, they were the 1st ones pulling this stuff and they are always staying informed and ensuring the good health of our pets. They simply care and they're knowledgeable, and that's a rare thing these days in any business. Then there's the extra perk, Mr. T's is in the same shopping center -- treats for the pets and the humans: win-win! read more

It's a decent but small pet store. Great place for pet food. Been trying for months to get on a "Parrot wing/nail clipping service" call list. It doesn't exist so don't bother. Prices are competitive, parking is marginal. If its equipment, go to Ted's. If its something quick, this place does well. read more

I want to write this review while the mascara is freshly cried onto my cheeks. Rachael & the staff at Caldrons Pets Choice are beyond a godsend !!! I'm absolutely blown away and floored at their sincere dedication to help people with their animals. Their authenticity is undeniable, they truly care & go above & beyond the extra mile. What a blessing to have them here in Modesto! I'm eternally grateful for the compassion, assistance, generosity, and support they have shown me and my animal family. Priceless!! read more

You will not be disappointed with this store. If you have a pet with food allergies or sensitivities, they will know exactly what you need. They are highly trained in pet nutrition & have a HUGE variety of specialty foods from organic to raw to dehydrated raw, amongst other top pet foods. They have vaccination & dental clinics as well. I used to buy online but I now choose to support Caldron's because they have outstanding service & a great selection of nutritious pet food. Keep it local! read more

I absolutely love this pet store!!! All the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful with all my pets (ball python, bearded dragon, saltwater fish, and a dog). I would highly recommend to anyone!!!!! read more

I always stop by to pet the guinea pigs and buy some supplies. They have great customer service and inventory!

I was passing through Modesto and needed to grab some dog food, and I saw that this store carried my favorite brands. They had an excellent selection of high-quality dog food, that were grain-free with healthy proteins. I remember having some trouble finding places that sold great food here when I've visited in the past, so I was excited to discover Caldron's. They also had some toys as well - I picked up a couple Benebones. These were nylon/plastic chew toys with natural flavoring that dogs can gnaw on but they don't break apart, and they aren't dangerous like rawhides, not smelly like some bully sticks, and not messy like raw bones. Perfect for rainy days inside. The prices were reasonable. read more

I enjoyed shopping for dog food here. They did not have what I was looking for, but they ordered it for me. They have a nice selection of dog food. read more

I went here today just to look around, as I'm getting a dog soon. I was thoroughly impressed. They carry really high-quality dog food, and carry a variety of dog leashes and collars. The man working there was extremely friendly, and welcomed me as I walked in. I will definitely be coming here to buy my doggie necessities. read more

Excellent service all through the pet owning process! Debbie is the fish expert. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. Couldn't imagine not having her advice! The entire staff is great, thier fish and animals are always healthy. read more

My husband and I shop here for aquatic pet supply goods and dog food. CPC has a good selection of top dog foods--those that you cannot find at say, Pet Smart (only the very best for my companion animal). The staff, if not always friendly, is cordial too. My only complaint is that the store is small and seems over-crowded with merchandise; it would be nice if their store was in a bigger suite. When there is a good number of customers in the store you have to either excuse yourself as you brush past folks or take a longer route to your target area. read more
