    This is the first time I have been to IB pet and this place is impressive. Such a diverse selection of dog treats, chews, bones, frozen raw bones, raw food section and dry kibble! Sarah so Knowledgeable and she taught me a lot about different foods for my pups. While Imperial Beach is far from where I live, I was happy to find out that they have another location in La Mesa! I'm glad I checked this place out!! Good stuff!

    I have had dogs my entire life. And now I have a 9-week-old Siamese kitten, her name is Kenya. First time cat owner, so needless to say I am overwhelmed because I didn't do my research and I knew what I was feeding her was just not good enough. I walked into this shop looking like a confused soul. I was immediately greeted by the cashier who was helping out two other customers and she noticed that I looked lost. She asked me if I had any questions. I just said "I am a first-time cat owner, I am looking to get my new kitten onto a full raw diet, and I don't know where to start. Or if it even the right move." She said to let her finish taking care of the two customer that were there and that I have come to the right place, she assured me that I was going to get setup with everything I needed and that doing this was the best thing I could possibly do for a new kitten. I was not prepared for the amount of knowledge that this person dropped on me for the next 5-10 minutes. She gave me a plan to transition, she told me everything I was doing wrong and how to fix it, she literally sounded so enthusiastic about what she was introducing to m, AND NOT ONCE did she make me feel like an idiot and was just so focused on getting me on the right path to give my new kitten a well-balanced raw diet. I literally trusted everything she was saying to me at that point. I would have bought the entire freezer if she told me to. I even wanted to buy a bit more, and she advised against it. She said to stick to plan with the raw nuggets into the wet food and the raw kibble, slowly add the raw chicken as I remove the more and more kibble, AND when I'm on the second half of my raw chicken I should be close to having Kenya on a full raw diet. She even said I will see you in a couple weeks. WOW. This is beyond customer service. These are people who love what they do, and they believe in what they sell. I am so grateful I drove by and decided to "check this place out." I have been on Yelp for many, many years. and not once have I cared enough or taken the time to right out a review. But this Store and all of its employees deserve a shout out. The owners must be very proud of the team they have put together. You have gained a lifelong customer in me. I will literally tell everyone I know about this place. this place will be my go-to for all my pet needs.

    IB Pet has everything you need and more! I love how caring all the staff I have interacted with have been. IB Pet carries a wide variety of quality dog and cat foods, snacks, treats and pet gadgets. My dog loves duck treats, duck toys and duck food- all of which they carry. I have also been a fan of buying bone marrow for my pup (they have a discount every Friday!). I also snagged a Mudbuster here; great product to clean my dog's paws, I use it daily before letting her crawl into bed at night. IB Pet should be the standard for small businesses everywhere. You can trust the products they have for your furry friend! Attached a pic of my dog Cherry, we stopped by for some limited ingredient dog frozen yogurt.

    Recently got a puppy so we were looking for the best pet stores in San Diego. I've passed by the IB pet in Chula Vista but decided to just drive the distance because it looked bigger. I've been trying to visit every best store I could because we moved to a small city where there's barely anything for my pup. When we got here, I immediately fell in love. It was definitely like disneyland for my pup. He was excited and started to sniff everything in sight and even the workers spoiled him with pets and rubs. I didn't catch her name but one of the ladies with a facial piercing was helping us and even gave us a great recommendation for a organic rawhide. I don't give my puppy rawhides cause they're awful for his stomach. She told me I could just hold it up to him and see which one he liked so we grabbed one. We also got him some toys because the pricing here is amazing! I was excited to see alot of the toys I've been eyeing online and they have a great selection. Some of the toys are even cheaper than amazon, how can you beat that?! I even appreciate how they give military discount. Super satisfied with our trip and I'll make the drive even if it's out of the way! Thank you so much IB Pet. My puppy loves the natural rawhide that we bought him another one!

    Meet Amber, her favorite treats are the sweet potato fries followed with a CBD cookie.

    Ive been coming to this pet store for at least 5-6 years now and I've been long overdue to write my review for this amazing pet store. I went in the last 15 min before closing on Monday and the girls that were working are extremely helpful and go out of their way to assist a customer. I always bring my fur babies with me, but since I was in a rush to get here before closing I couldn't :( When I came in to the store I was greeted by one of the girls her name is Isabelle. She also answered my questions about CBD dog cookies and gave me alternative options. I love that the employees here are so very friendly and have great customer service... they deserve 10 stars. In addition to their great service they also have the best deals TBH, I feel like I can find better quality in dog foods here for my fur babies then at bigger corporate pet stores. I will forever be a customer at this IB pets location!!

    The folks at work here are the kindest people. I went in today to to buy some dog food but they don't carry it. However they can order it and it will be here next week. So for in the meantime they gave me some stuff to hold them over. How nice is that?! In addition their prices are extremely fair. I was able to get so many treats for my dogs. I'm so happy that this place is here I could literally cry tears of joy. If you have a dog this is where you need to come.

    Healthy pups thanks to IB pets

    I search far and wide for a specific medicine for my two French bulldogs. I called all the major pet stores to include Petsmart and Petco and neither of them had what I wanted. I did my due diligence and research and unfortunately I had to buy the first medicine online however per the recommendation of the individual selling me the medicine he said to check my local pet stores which IB pets was. IB pets I found to be very Organized. The customer service reps were very knowledgeable and very friendly. I called the one in Chula Vista to no avail however I ended up going to the one in imperial Beach and they had the medicine and were very knowledgeable. I would definitely go back here. Don't forget to ask to see if you have any relevant discounts. Two days later my Frenchie is eating and drinking we picked up a bottle of goats milk and both of my frenchies loved it.

    Happy boy

    I've been a shopper with them for the last 5 years. I love their customer service. They really helped my picky cat find his favorite food and my dog is always so excited going in there. He gets free treats every time we pay. Will forever be a customer

    Great friendly staff…read more Great selection of reptiles (hard to not take a new one home everytime I go) I purchased my second gecko here, and regularly return for feed and other things for pet care. They offer nail clipping and sitting for when you're out of town. They restock often. I was surprised that they had 3 baby blue tongue skinks on my first visit. The website and the store locations don't reflect the same inventory, so you'll have a good chance of finding anything you're looking for. Be sure to chat with the staff for any needs.

    I can't say enough good things about this reptile store. Brittany, the owner/manager, is seriously…read moreamazing. She took in a leopard gecko that I ended up rescuing for my fiancé's son, his name is now Raja, and she made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. What I appreciate most is that she's not pushy at all, especially for someone like me who's never owned reptiles before. She's super knowledgeable and actually takes the time to help you figure out what works best for your pet. I had read that geckos eat crickets, roaches, and worms, but mine only wants worms. When I stopped in today looking for a treat (or as she calls it, a "donut" for geckos, which I love), she gave me a bunch of other options to try without making me feel pressured. I live in Imperial Beach, and this is hands down the best reptile store in San Diego. She has everything you could need, and if she doesn't have something, I'm confident she'll get it for you. Great prices, amazing service, and someone who truly cares about animals and her customers. Highly recommend!
