Love this store. Great selection of canned, dry, frozen dog food.., I'm sure cats, too. They also have visiting vets who clean dog's teeth without anesthesia, which is a must for me and my dog. read more

What in the world did I walk into? WOW! This store is massive! and amazing! They have EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING for your pets. I was so impressed with their selection of foods, and learned that they also have their own brand products, I purchased some wet cat food from their own brand and my cats licked their bowl dry! The location is great in a shopping center with plenty of parking spaces right out front. Their staff is also really friendly, and shared a lot of info with me, besides the store they do offer other services from vet visits, dental cleanings, adoption events, its such a well rounded store through and through. Super well organized, and well stocked! We also got a sample bag with a lot of their branded products, and so far everything that my cats have tried has been a total hit! I was in the area already, but I do wish that they had more of these stores in southern San Diego and the south bay area. I would totally stop by though when I find myself in this area again read more

This store is well stocked with small puppy and dog supplies. Very friendly and helpful clerks make shopping here pleasant.

I actually found out about this location because they provided super cute dog cookie samples to their neighbor Uncle Biff's Killer Cookies. Our dogs enjoyed the samples so I stopped by Kahoots recently to purchase a few items. They have their own brand so I think their dog treats are more affordable than others. This location is quite large and is located by Marshalls. Parking was a bit tough that mid week afternoon as most of the spaces close to the store were taken. The staff was nice here. I told them about the samples we saw at Uncle Biff's and she knew instantly what I was talking about. They had a few other flavors and she helped explain to me the ingredients as well as the cost (compared to other brands). I usually buy dog toys on Amazon as 1) they're typically cheaper and 2) the return policy is great. But certain toys have been hard to find on there. I was surprised to see the toys at similar prices here at Kahoots. I'm not sure of their return policy but figured I was here and didn't want to waste the trip. I had asked about their brand of dog food as well. The nice woman gave me two sample bags to try which was nice. Both dogs have enjoyed them thus far with no stomach issues so we'd consider switching them to these brand perhaps in the future. This is a convenient location off the 5 freeway in Solana Beach. I'm not sure if they discount their own brand of dog treats but would keep a look out for that for the next possible visit. read more

Love this local store. The employees are helpful & genuinely helping. They even offer goat milk.

Hunter was the best. We are having a flea issue so we went to kahoots to hopefully get a spray of some sort for the house. Hunter had just taken a flea and tick class and was so beyond helpful. He explained everything we needed to know. He even gave us a spreadsheet of all of the products and how they help. He wrote notes for us on a paper step by step. We appreciate you Hunter!! read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! Especially the staff Monique and Zack, who did not hesitate for a single second to help me as I frantically rushed in (on a Sunday since the vets were closed) after I noticed a good size Tick on my small dog winston (who has never had ticks before so I didn't know what it was). They both worked together to gently remove the entire Tick and rinse with wound care, all while reassuring Winston with love and treats. They pointed to me the best flee and tick prevention products and would kindly not accept any tips. I left Kahoots feeling genuinely cared for and I couldn't be more grateful to have a local store of people who care so deeply about our furbabies. read more

Do people really pay these prices? It seems like a big pet store, so I though their prices would be comparable to Unleashed by Petco. When I entered, I was blown away at how expensive the products are. The selection is the same as Unleashed by Petco, but at a higher price. Even the so-called sale prices are expensive. Even though customer service is friendly, I do not think the prices warrant another visit from me and my dog read more

10/10 best customer service in town! Thank you, Clay and the rest of the Kahoots Solana Beach Team for always providing a stress-free shopping experience. read more

This is my go to place for Chin supplies. The prices are good, they have a wide range of items and their own brand timothy hay. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. read more

Rude! Every time I come in here they get more rude. I came in here looking for some items for my new pups and after I didn't agree with the employees recommendation and asked for other ideas she rolled her eyes at me and made me feel like I was crazy for not wanting to use her advice. Have you ever heard of agree to disagree? Your word is not final. And besides you work at a pet supply store you're not a Vet- I should have never asked for help! Go somewhere else!!! read more

I popped in to the Solana Beach location while I was waiting for my rescue beagle to arrive on a transport from Texas. I told Yessi (not sure if I have the spelling right) that I needed a crate pad and then mentioned why. She told me she had two beagles of her own and seemed super excited for our new addition. I returned once Antonio arrived, and the employees could not have been nicer. Helped Tony get settled in a basket and offered him treats (he loved the chicken treats!), then helped me pick out everything we needed since somehow the transport left all of his belongings in Texas. Even provided a welcome bag when we checked out. I cannot say enough about the customer service here-it was a long and nerve-wracking day for us, and Kahoots managed to make it special. THANK YOU! read more

Very helpful and quick over the phone. Ian was very kind and offered great customer service. Went to 3 stores before this looking for pet medicine and this was the only one that had it. read more

I just had an amazing experience at this store. Alexia assisted me with learning the benefits of salmon oil and raw goats milk. I will be coming back soon to let my pup sniff around! #SupportLocalCompanies read more

Kahoots has an excellent selection for all your dog needs. The reason for my review is the excellent staff. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. They are also very knowledgeable about the products within the store. Recently I had the pleasure of being helped by Becky and Peggy. They each went out of their way to help me decide the very best dog food option for my puppy. Peggy even helped carry my items to my car in the pouring rain. I highly recommend Kahoots Solana Beach for all your pet needs! read more

I love this pet store. The staff is always very friendly. My dog eats the Kahoots brand dog food and has done really well on it. I think that their prices are reasonable. Tennis balls for dogs are much less expensive here than at other places. read more

This store is lovely, they're a smaller company with BIG hearts. What makes this location SO special is the employees and customer service. I always have a lovely experience, but today was exceptional. I happened to call about an eye ointment for my pet pig and Alexia answered promptly. She walked me through treatment options, compared active ingredients, offered different options and made my choice so easy. Not to mention, she was warm, kind, engaged and had all the time in the world to help me out. A really rare quality to find, especially over the phone! What makes a business is the people and people like Alexia are what keep us coming back again and again! Ps--Becky, a supervisor there, does AMAZING product displays and it's just the cutest spot all around. Our pets deserve a place like this :). read more

Very friendly staff, and made me feel welcomed. Thank you! :) great products and very affordable!

I really don't get the negative reviews. I've always had positive experiences here and very friendly customer service. They are always happy to answer questions and give recommendations as well as order special food for you. They had our dogs food, but not in a larger bag and were more than happy to start regularly carrying it for us. read more

The store is clean and well organized (though small). The employees are rude and that ruined my whole experience. Twice I've had bad experiences. Once a cashier ignored me while I stood at the counter with my stuff and waited. Not once did he bother to say "I'll be just a second" or "thanks for waiting" so finally I just left my stuff and walked out. The second time I came in with my four year old. She is VERY good in pet stores. She even knows not the touch the glass of the fish tanks or the cages for the birds. She stays with me and I do my best to keep her focused. Today she wandered a few steps from me. She wanted to go back to see the birds. I saw her, asked her to come back, and when she didn't I went to get her. I took her hand, told her not to go without me and then I'm approached by an employee and TOLD to keep a better eye on my child. Wow. Done. Never shopping in another Kahoots ever again. read more

I was just looking around and was actually there for the pet adoption. Peggy asked me if I needed any help and I explained to her my dogs issues with licking her paws!! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and taught me a thing or two regarding my dogs diet and possible causes of her situation with licking her paws!! Great Customer Service & knowledge for sure!! read more

These guys are still persevering with the dead fish. Most of the tanks had at least one dead (for several days by the looks of things) fish sucked up against the filter intake; gross. The guppy tank had 3 dead ones and the alive fish had some evidence of a fungus problem; not good. Also, tried to redeem a coupon we got through the mail. 40% off an item. If you wanted cat/dog food then you had to have Kahoot's brand to get the discount. No problem, That's a good discount and we can give it a try, if it wins we will be back coupon or no coupon; surely the point of the coupon? Anyway, all multi-packs of Kahoot's food already have a discount. Yes that's right, just like the rest of the world if you buy a 12 pack you get the products cheaper than if you buy 12 individual cans. However Kahoots consider that this is a "10%" discount and therefore not compatible with the coupon. I would have called a 12 pack an "item" but there you go, the logic the rest of the world uses that might also remove dead fish from tanks to promote sales doesn't seem to apply here. In other word, the 40% coupon is only valid if you buy one singe can of cat food. What sort of shitty waste of time offer is that? I can't wait until April when the valid coupon is for 10% off a 90c cat food product. I will rush down there again; I might pick up some dead fish while I am there... read more

I had a really nice experience at Kahoots today. Sam helped me find toys and food specifically curtailed to my dog. He did not pressure me or upsell me, he was honest and gave great insight. Sam even gave me free samples of Kahoots new "home-made" dog food. I am excited to try it out. read more

I must preface this review with the fact that I wasn't technically shopping for pet supplies when I visited so I the rating doesn't reflect the store's pricing or selection. But the staff is just SO incredible! I stopped in briefly to see what Kahoot's was all about...(okay, I just wanted to see the live animals!), and I found myself with a couple of questions about exotics. The staff were so knowledgeable and friendly, I basically forgot about my awkward introverted tendencies and found out everything I wanted to know about my inquiry. If I ever actually need any pet supplies and/or have any questions...I'll be sure to stop into Kahoot's! read more

Employees are very helpful and friendly. They sell Fromm here! Would gladly return to this store

I loved this pet store! We go for our cats and dog items, and the staff has always been super nice and accommodating. I had a very long and educational discussion about my fat cat and what to feed her. They also have store brand food and free samples at the front. I first came here with coupons we got in the mail for 30% off any item! Great! So I got my super expensive cat litter a few bucks off. There's a variety of mid-to-high end items and food for all sorts of pets. They also sell small animals like bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. . read more

Standard cute/large pet store. Well lit, very clean, bunnies in the front, fish in the back. Like the lizards and frogs they have, definitely have to stop by those every chance I'm in the store. They have tons and tons of dog toys, which is just what we were looking for. Other than that, nothing stands out. Just a clean, friendly pet store. read more

First off, I LOVE BUNNIES! So I swing in here often even when I don't need cat food, because they usually have bunnies and guinea pigs which are also super cute. They have live chicks as well. The staff is really friendly, knowledgable, engaging and helpful. Love that they have Blue Buffalo, dang, that food is expensive, but it's worth it. It's great to support a local business that has amazing service and people working there. I'll go out of my way to go to Kahoot's over Petco. Not impressed with the Kahoot's brand cat litter though. read more

I like this little store. They have a very nice selection and the prices are reasonable. They carry many of the higher quality dog food that you cannot get at Petco or Petsmart. The staff are also very friendly. I took off one star for some of the dog chews. We had an issue with a couple of them being very smelly or my dog not liking them. However, they are very good about returning items that your pet does not like. read more

Love , Love , Love this store! My fur baby gets excited every time we walk up to this spot. Great atmosphere, great prices and even better customer service ! I would highly recommend shopping here. Best spot in town! I'm always receiving the best friendly customer service,making me feel welcomed. Just awesome! read more

I purchased a cat scratcher replacement from this store and it turned out to be the wrong size. Unfortunately, I lost the receipt and Kahoots won't even issue a store credit without a receipt. This was not an expensive item but I would have appreciated a store credit. I was told I would have to seek approval for a store credit from corporate, so they could take my name and number and someone would call me. I can't remember the last time I shopped somewhere with this sort of policy except a clothing boutique. I won't be buying from a pet store that doesn't have better customer service policies. I will go to Pet People instead from now on. read more

My most recent visit sums this place up. I had to get litter for our cats and food for my dog, so I stopped in. Despite the fact that they didn't have either of the specific brands I was looking for I ended up buying a more expensive brand of litter and taking a sample of a different dog food. I had to, they were too helpful and nice for me to leave there empty handed. Everybody I've encountered here is really friendly, really helpful, and an animal lover through and through. I ended up going to another store to get my dog's regular brand, but only so I can slowly wean her on to the new stuff that I was given a sample of. read more

My kids keep asking to go back. I don't mind because the store is clean and the staff is friendly. This is the nicest pet store I've seen in a while. read more

Kids love this store because they let you pick up the rabbits and guinea pigs. But to actually buy something is really another story altogether. The prices are high...we have two dogs and there is no way we could afford to feed them at these prices. They do have specials...we found a beta fish for only $2 but we bought the support materials (i.e., food) at PetCo. read more

Our dog loves all the treats we buy from them, especially their seasonl pumpkin treats!! They have a wide range of dog products including their own brand name, and raw foods. They also have fish, cat, guinea pigs, rabbits and various other small animal products. If you live in Solana Beach you also receive coupons in the mail for the store, but oddly enough you can only use one coupon a day even if it is for different products. Read the coupons carefully, because sometimes it is only valid on Kahoots brand products. Some of the products are over priced, but they are good quality and with a small dog, they last a while. read more

Excellent products..my very finicky cats love their specially produced cat foods. And the prices are pretty comparable to the big chains. But the big difference is that eveything is eaten and their energy has improved. Buy Kahoots..you can't go wrong. read more

Nice new pet store in Solana Beach that is part of the Kahoots family of stores. Friendly service and good selection of natural dog foods. I stop there when ever visiting dog beach in Del Mar. read more

Kahoots pet stores had a very friendly staff. A little too friendly to the point were instead of cleaning the fish tank and clear them of all the dead fish in the tank. They are talking to everyone in store and gossiping. Having a great social staff is great and all but it's supposed to be a pet store that stands out from the others. read more

Absolutely would not recommend shopping here as there are so many other places that actually care about their customers. Today i read the new FDA report listing several dog foods that could potential cause heart disease in large breed dogs. I had purchased one of them about 1 week ago so i wanted to see if i could exchange it for a brand that i had used before and wasn't on the list. Upon arrival i said " hi, i don't know if you can do anything about this but i just read the new FDA report regarding" .....He cut me off and in a super passive aggressive tone said, "oh, you mean the one that says .00000000..........." i cut him off and said "well when you love your dog you don't take the risk" He scoffed at me and said this was done over a 5 year period and only 24 dogs have died on the brand i was referencing. Now i didn't even care about a refund as i had just gone in to find out if their policy would allow an exchange and if not no biggie i would buy a new one but the way this guy was acting was ridiculous. I said never mind and i would take my business elsewhere. I recommend Dexters in Del Mar. They are super friendly with great prices and 0 attitude. read more

They are great and take my grand kids there all the time. they live close so we go down for fun sometimes. staff is great and friendly and knowledgeable...we keep coming back. read more
