    Walking by, we were concentrating on finding a grassy are for our dog when a lovely lady ran out and handed us a flyer and coupon along with a bandana. She told us about their grand opening next weekend and that we can come in and check it out and shop now. After walking the dog and having lunch down the street, we came in. It was a lovely store with really nice folks who were just as nice to our dog. Got couple of things for our fur baby and will definitely be back soon. I love supporting local shops when they have the right attitude and love what they do. Will probably go back for the grand opening.

    Yelping to try Decker's.

    Our girl is an in-between sizes as a result it's difficult to find things that fit her properly. This is especially a concern when it comes to harness. A neighbor has a particular one from Italy for her pup. I looked up the brand. As I mentioned she's hard to size. I didn't want to waste time or money taking a chance. While on the site, I noticed Deckers sold them. This meant a good 30 minute drive to go see the items in "paw"son. We load the car with the pup and go. Upon arriving into the store, we are greeted by the owner. He's kind and assists us with finding the exact model I was looking to try. Seems this model has an odd stitching that would consistently rub on the pup's side. They have a wide selection neatly displayed. We keep looking. This allows the friendly gentleman to assist others while we shop. I'm able to overhear his kindness to each person who walks through the door. We weren't there too long to find the perfect harness to purchase and wear out the door. Before leaving, Luna is offered a treat. That's when I noticed they had a "chill" pup who was as quiet as a fixture. Cool dog = cool owner. If you are looking for items for your fur baby, this is the place to go! Luna loves it. You will too!

    In my new button up!

    This is the best best store I've EVER been in. Owned by a couple that knows what they are talking about, they have endless knowledge and they take the time to answer all of your questions. Bruno was lucky enough to get some new treats and this sweet new button up. Thank you again!

    I am surprised to see negative reviews. I was actually…read morequite impressed when visiting the store on Saturday. My mom & I were walking by & decided to come in so that I can buy few thigs for my new puppy. (I don't have him yet, but have been preparing like a crazy person) Gentleman, who I assume is the owner, was very helpful & informative. It has been over 15 years since I had a puppy at home, so I asked him many questions, some of which were probably stupid. He was very patient & knowledgeable. He gave me many useful recommendations. He was also very understanding when I was talking about my Shih Tzu Bailey, that we lost at the first part of 2022. The store was nicely stocked. Everything was easy to find. They carry very nice & healthy brands. Yes, I could probably buy things a bit cheaper at Petco or Petsmart, however I would have never received this type of personal service & I wouldn't find some of these nice local brands there. I like to support small local businesses when I can. I bought several types of human grade training treats & a variety pack of some chewy things. My mom bought a sweater for her future grand puppy. I told her that she would be a better grandma if she knitted one, but I got a dirty look :) A puppy class was about to start, so we got to watch all the furry participants go in, which was so fun. I will definitely return.

Deckers is the way to go for a pet store in La Jolla. There they are pet oriented, friendly, cheerful and have an abundant display, variety and quality of merchandise. For owning and running a pet store, this man ( owner ) has a lot to be desired. I am suprised the store is still there!

    BETTER OF THE PETSMARTS (4 stars)…read more Specially this location for Santa Photos for our pets... you can tell they put effort (unlike other PetSmarts). I've been to a handful of PetSmarts in San Diego area and I feel this location was the best thus far (obviously, La Jolla). Not going to lie, I'm more of a Petco shopper but when it comes to Santa Photos (Petco stopped doing them and they do have a better backdrop) - we resort to coming to PetSmart. The past couple years, I haven't been too ecstatic about Santa photos, even trying different locations. Why not try PetSmart in La Jolla?! 1) way better Santa and backdrop than all the other PetSmarts I've been too (there was thought into it) 2) they have little PetSmarts Xmas merch they gave away - little bandana and some treats while you wait in line (other PetSmarts gave absolutely nothing) 3) they placed the Santa photo area in a corner that was suitable that was special and clean and away from the traffic of customers (unlike other PetSmarts it's in the back of an isle) 4) weren't rushing you to get it over with. They were patient as dogs are scared of Santa and run away. Instead of crying screaming babies, it's whimpering dogs trying to run away from Santa. Big Santa was super nice and chill. Will mosdef be back to this location next year!

    I have been a loyal PetSmart customer for years and have consistently shopped at this location,…read morewhich is why this experience was so incredibly disappointing. Our dog had already been accepted into doggy daycare here multiple times and had never had a single issue. She is the sweetest, most peaceful, loving dog with both dogs and humans and has never shown even the slightest sign of aggression. She had already proven she could attend daycare safely and happily. Completely out of the blue, we were suddenly informed by an employee that she could no longer attend because she "looks like a staffie." This was extremely confusing given that she had already been approved and had attended daycare here several times without any problems. What made the situation even worse was that we were out of town when this happened. Leaving town and trusting someone else to care for your dog is stressful enough as it is. Getting a call while away telling us that our dog suddenly could no longer stay at daycare because of how she "looks" was incredibly stressful and upsetting. I understand that PetSmart has policies regarding certain breeds or dogs that appear to be certain breeds. However, policies should be applied consistently and with basic fairness. If this rule truly applied to our dog, it should have been addressed from the beginning rather than allowing her to attend multiple times and then abruptly excluding her based purely on one employee's judgment. To make matters even more frustrating, we have DNA results confirming that our dog is a pug / German shepherd mix, not a staffie or any restricted breed. She is a gentle, affectionate, goofy dog who had already demonstrated that she could participate in daycare without any issue. We also were told by that employee that she acknowledged that she was clearly a very sweet dog and apologized for the situation, Hearing that even management recognized she was not a problem only made the situation feel more unreasonable. Instead of being treated like a dog who had already been welcomed there before, she was suddenly treated like a liability based purely on appearance. That is incredibly disappointing from a place that claims to provide a safe and caring environment for pets. As someone who has supported this PetSmart location for years, I expected a far higher level of consistency and professionalism. If you are looking for a place where your dog will be evaluated fairly and treated with genuine care, I would strongly recommend considering other daycare options .

Everyone was so nice and understanding of my dog's needs. He's a very large, dog selective old man and Woofpak didn't even bat an eye when I explained his mannerisms and behavior concerns. The staff is well equipped to handle any size dog and accommodate their needs and comfort level to the best of their abilities and really treat your pet as if they were their own. My dog was a stinky boy and desperately needed a groom, and a little over an hour later, he came back to me bright eyed, bushy tailed, smelling and feeling amazing! The staff showed us some amazing progress photos during his groom and gave us a report of how he did. Lucky for us he was an angel for them and they loved working with him. The shop itself is also wonderful. So many options for fresh food, treats and chews available. If you need a special occasion cookie they have those in their bakery case. A self serve and fill treat bar is also in the back of the store and has some amazing treats to pick out for you pup as well. We filled a medium jar of mix and match treats for my dog and he was so eager to start snacking on them asap. 10/10 recommend coming here for all your pet needs!

Store associate was so helpful and kind, she offer us samples of all items before purchase and that made it easier to decide what to buy! We ended getting the bundle (Camel milk, beef slider and chicken fries) and the chicken and rice meal to go for the other doggies cousins too. Woofpack has the paw approval of all 3 of our dogs. If you are walking by and are curious, don't hesitate check it out! And if you're fur baby is with you, ask about the samples, so you know what flavors to chose from before buying.

So I started giving all my business to Petco on Garnet. There are a couple of totally awesome people there that really know their stuff and I will always think of them fondly, however things change. My kitty developed problems that Petco couldn't help with and I was forced to give Noah's another try. Things have indeed changed. Alex (and her husband) are the awesome owners of Noah's now, and if you have any problems Alex has solutions or will research them deeply on your behalf. Raw/fresh food diet, limited ingredient diet, supplements and treats... they have all the good stuff. Shasta has also helped me greatly with products to alleviate discomfort of my sweet little kitty-baby and aid in her nourishment and need for variety. I sing their praises now to everyone and am so grateful to have such a caring and supportive team of animal-loving individuals so close to where I live. They have helped me as much as, if not more than, my sweet girl's doctors. I kid you not. Noah's is awesome.
