    "A big shoutout to Anthony, who helped me put together my very first terrarium. He gave me tips on plant selection, layering, and how to care for it. The result is absolutely beautiful--thank you, Anthony!"

    It's a nice day for people to get their fur babies taken care of.

    Always nice and helpful. Carter's is a great place for pet supplies and advice on pet care. I've never had a day when I've not been treated well. It's a worthwhile business to take your pet or grab supplies. Today happen to be a pet care day although I didn't bring my pet.

    Wild type neocaridina not Amano shrimp

    I'm brand new to starting a planted fresh water aquarium and wanted to start with amano shrimp since they are great cleaners and do not breed in freshwater. Carters in Stockton was the only place that I could find that advertised amano shrimp. I bought 4 and they took to the tank well... until about a month later when they started breeding and filled my tank with 30+ shrimp. These are not amanos, but wild type dwarf shrimp that breed frequently and constantly. I highly recommend having the aquarium attendant confirm each shrimp selection or going someplace else.

    One of the best stores around. Been coming here for years but recently got a new puppy (September 5th, 2024) and went here the 1st day I got Maverick. They've always been very helpful and love seeing my dog come in and grow over the months. Everytime I have a question they help me out no questions asked. Spend a lot of money here for sure. The security guard David is very cool. We chat it up and he's seen Maverick since the day I got him. Overall, a great store for any pet. Highly recommend Carter's.

    Adopted my cat Tony Starke from there it was such a smooth process. The lady who assisted me was so nice and helpful.

    Best pet store in town. Knowledge and friendly staff, lots of animals making this like a mini zoo, security on site, and staff has allowed my sons to hold multiple different creatures on many different occasions. Competitive prices, and great policies on fish. Can't recommend enough. I don't buy my pet food at Costco just so I can support this business.

    Carters pet mart in Stockton, is the best pet store you can go to, it's a family owned business, and not a hiked up priced corporation; that feeds off your love of your pet like those big corps, but promotes affordable items in JOY of your pet! You can get a multitude of combinations of items, from treats, to beds, to houses to keep them comfy year round, a variety of different types of diets, and the workers are very knowledgeable of your different needs. They are experienced in the raw diets, diverse meat benefits, complex dietary needs such as raw goats milk, and pre and probiotics to help with digestive reset, hygiene based off of breed, and hair type, training basics, and much much more! they offer a variety of aquatics, reptile, aviary, and so much more. If you don't come to buy anything, or even own an animal, just visiting to see the animals made me fall in love, and buy 3 of my family's animals, including cat and dog adoptions! The staff is very friendly and eager to help you, from the moment you step through the doors, and know how to help even the most unwanted needs, such as training specific leads, chains, and collars. They offer slow feed bowls, multi level training puzzles, for dogs and cats, even small animal puzzles! The small animal wall is super cute, and the giant aviaries are amazing to watch, and learn about. The staff is expertly knowledgable when you consult an animal department specialist, and know a lot of answers to your questions! Keep in mind they are not veterinarians so don't be disappointed if they can't treat expert ailments, however Carters offers a wide variety of preventative, over the counter supplements and more. I'd like you to realize, this is far more than any pet store you've ever come across and you will learn so much just walking through our doors! It is not just a store; it's a family, and shares the love of animals with you!

    Kelli , the manager , was so awesome and helpful in selecting the freshest bag of orijens .! Kelli went through the stacked bags to ensure I got the bag that would expire at the latest date . I come here for all my dogs' needs . I enjoy all the incentives such as the samples provided for new products and also their loyalty program ! Everyone at the store is always so helpful - this is my go to pet store in Stockton for sure!

    Mississippi Mud Turtles
    Alex L.

    So I really like this place, it has lots of options for pets and plenty of pet supplies. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable at the same time. I recently purchased a Sulcata Tortoise and Two Mississippi Mud Turtles, I've never owned a turtle/tortoise before. When I went to look at possible pets I asked for help, what they eat, what they need, etc, each time the salesperson helped me get everything I needed to give my pets a proper home. Reasonably priced, place is super clean and organized, 100% recommend. Being able to ask for help and someone actually taking the time to show me was one of the main factors I even went here. They have reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, everything. Go here for all your pet needs.

    We adopted our now 2 year old poodle mix, Jett (previously named Loki) from Pets & Pals in mid…read moreNovember. When we first arrived there, we noticed how peaceful the place was - none of the incessant barking that you encounter at the local shelter. Their grounds were well maintained. We were told the dogs are let out to run in the yard for 3 hours a day. Their website has a bio on each pet so you can read a background info on each one. Obviously when it's an owner surrender they have more information on the pet, less so if the pet was a stray. But even then, they observe them while at the shelter to give you an idea what to expect. Their system makes it easy to adopt. I recommend sending an application in to get approved first. Once you've been approved, just call to make an appointment to see a dog or cat that you would like to meet. They will hold the dog or cat for you until your appointment. This is different from local city shelters where you might see a dog or cat listed online but it might be gone by the time you get there. Their adoption fee ($350) is fair as my dog was already microchipped and his shots were updated, except for rabies. I was a bit surprised that he was released without updating his rabies. All in all, I would recommend PetsNPals to anyone looking to adopt. They definitely care about the pets and try to make their shelter stay as pleasant as possible. Please adopt, don't shop for a pet.

These folks care about the kiddos they have in the program and do everything they can to match them up with new owners and homes! You can check my monthly ads featured in the Manteca Bulletin, log onto their website for all their pets, fill out adoption applications and call them for appointments to meet your favorite pet candidate! It's a great system, and I'm pleased to support their efforts! -Dave Winegarden, Realtor - Grupe Real Estate

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this rescue. They are by far the most knowledgeable, honest and most responsible…read morerescue I have ever dealt with. We met them first during COVID when my daughter wanted to rescue a dog. They were very honest about the dog we chose and arranged a visit with us to see the dog. After that went well, they arranged a home visit to make sure our dog and home was compatible with our rescue. They worked with us on introductions between the dogs and stayed for a quite a while. Well it's been 2 years and we decided that we were ready to save another one. Once again, we knew what we were getting and we could not be more happy with him. I will never go anywhere else and would not recommend going anywhere else if you truly want to adopt. All of the dogs have been socialized and are great with kids and dogs (unless otherwise noted). These folks have become an extension of our family and we are so grateful that we came across Finding A Best Friend. Well worth the hour long drive to Stockton from the Bay. Check them out on Facebook and Instagram if you wanna see more.

Despite limited resources, they do all they can to care for the dogs and cats. Miley has both environmental and food allergies and they did their best to manage her outbreaks with special food, steroid shots, and medication. The rescue is so active on social media and they're always interested in seeing what their babies are up to. We would definitely recommend Finding a Best Friend. Thanks to Finding a Best Friend, Miley found her forever home, thank you guys so much!
