They increased the price to wash your dog to a whopping $20 . If you are gonna increase the price please improve your services. The air dryer to dry the dog is super cold air. Add some heat adjustment. Offer better shampoo then the cheap stuff. Clean your bibs. Add some hygiene and cleanliness in the area. read more

I've gone to the Gutierrez location in Santa Barbara as well as the Linden location in Carpinteria. The Carpinteria location is larger but both locations seem to be staffed with genuinely happy and knowledgeable people that greet you when you come in and are helpful in finding that "something" that you and your pet need but can't quite say what it is. These folks understand pets and their people, and they know their stock. Really a pleasant, well stocked business, at least at these two locations. read more

Always was very helpful and a great variety of food. Also carry a lot of hard to find dog food.

10/10 for this place! 1. They have a wide selection of toys- have my pups favorite lamb! But many many many more! 2. Wide variety of dog food! They have Primal food- AND a wide variety of flavors. Dog stores sometimes carry chicken and beef but I've never seen quail, duck, venison, turkey, salmon! They have a ton of toppers, milk, and even treats from primal I have never seen! Also! They have buy 12 get one free cards! (Just for primal I believe) 3. Friendliest, helpful staff! I'm so happy I found this place! i never thought to look them up because I assumed a small town place wouldn't carry my dogs food(we move a lot, and I've had a hard time finding it), this gem will forever have my business while I'm within 50 miles.... Just welcoming, home-y, feel. Love it! Thank you! read more

Came in here a couple times, I found a toy my dogs have not destroyed. Every time we buy them soft toys they kill it. They always rip it apart and the stuffings all over the house. They sell these leathery looking toys that are double-stitched and when I asked them how durable they where I was told they haven't had anyone returned them yet. If your dogs love stop squeaky toys but rip through them within minutes you should also get that leathery looking toy too! I did post a picture with my dog playing with it. They also sell crates and I know I could have gotten it from chewy, but I wanted to see the size in person read more

My dog had itchy skin and I originally came in for a cone, but the employee of the shop pointed my to these allergy support chews and after a couple days my dog completely stopped itching. She was very knowledgeable, caring and pointed me in the right direction. Even saved us a pet visit. There is a lot of product and affordable prices. 10/10 recommend. read more

Lemos Feed & Pet Supply - Dog Allergy Chews - Pet Stores Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Good sized, clean store, with lots of parking behind the building. I stopped here last week to pick up a particular brand of guinea pig food that my normal store was out of. I had called around and Lemos said they carried it and had some in stock and I made a special trip just for it. Quick browse of the store showed me they have a good variety of supplies for dogs, cats, and decent supply for small animals and birds. Some interesting foot and chew toys for the latter. The staff was helpful and friendly. My purchase was quick and easy and I found out Lemos is almost 27% cheaper than where I'd been buying my guinea pig food before! Wowza! It's further out of my way, but I think I'll be returning! read more

Great service. Have everything your pet would need. Very friendly people working at the store. Highly recommend them to anyone who needs pet supplies. read more

I like going in there because the people working there are knowledgable and friendly and the selections are really great, more so than the average pet supply. I usually purchase dog kibble and have noticed it's about the same or a little less than online prices. And, they help you carry the stuff to your car too! read more

We usually shop at the Santa Barbara store, but we were driving through Carpinteria on our way to do some goodbye parties for my 18-year-old copilot in life Coco. When we went to pay for them, the manager says they were on the house. We have always shopped at lemos because we support locally owned businesses, and this is why. Thank you Lemos for being there for us. read more

Lemos Feed & Pet Supply - Trouble and Coco enjoying - Pet Stores Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Wonderful family owned pet store and feed shop. Visiting Carpinteria for a month and was starting to run out of dog food. Everything I needed was at Lemos. Staff are friendly and helpful. Store is clean and very well organized. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

They always have what I need, where other pet supply stores fall short. My older dog needs a very specialized (and expensive) diet since being cured of cancer 2 years ago to optimize the chance it will not come back. The pricing isn't Lemo's fault, it's the brand. My older cats also need special diets, and Lemo's always has the right stuff in stock. Plus both special brands I need have a loyalty program through Lemos. If you buy so many bags, you get one free. When you have five pets, that's incredibly helpful. The staff are always quick to ask if you need help finding things. And they helped me find the natures miracle pet stain/odor remover that I now can't live without. Plus they're a smaller, local chain that I enjoy supporting even though some products can be found cheaper online. When you see that Nordstrom, Macy's, Sears, etc.. are no longer around if you need to get a household necessity same-day, can you imagine if specialty pet stores started disappearing (for pets that require hard to find items)?? I don't mind paying a little extra to help ensure there's a Lemos right up the street when I need them! Support your local Lemos! I know that I'll be a customer for life. read more

I just received VIP service from Trisha! Let me tell you, with gas prices the way they are and the fact I live in Ventura, I really didn't want to make the drive. I called the store and asked if my husband (who would be in his work truck passing by Carpinteria on the highway) could run in & out quickly to pick up food for our dog? Trisha cut her break short and had the food ready and waiting so he could get back on the road. Not only that.... She offered to loan him her own ice pack to keep the frozen primal food cold since it was hot today. She's very helpful and informative, hasn't ever steered us wrong when it come to our precious Mona. Thank you Trisha for going above and beyond for your customers!!! read more

Great place to shop for all your pet needs, and the staff is so professional, friendly & courteous ~ stop by and check it out... Close inconvenient! read more

Friendly service . They have a very clean self wash station for your pet and great inventory . Had to pick out a toy for my pups

Lemos Carpinteria is the best Pet Supply place ever but they are so much more than supplies the staff are friendly knowledgeable and patient we come in get food supplies help with minor puppy diagnoses behavior tips and nutrition questions - not to mention the toy department and dog bath - look no further this is the place and they love love love us to just come say hi they genuinely do. My little puppy Misa loves this store as do I. Look no further folks read more

They have the best staff and I walk through with my dog frequently just to have some sniffs.... Could not be nicer staff

This pet store is awesome and not just because they have everything you need for your dog and cat but mostly because the manager, Ray, is phenomenal. I don't even think I've actually ever used the word phenomenal before, but this is the perfect description of Ray. He remembers everything about you and your dog, though that may just be me because of my sparkling personality. Ahahah. If you visit, tell Ray "Jason sent me" and request your 50% discount. He should reply with something like "Who? What?" But that's just code for "You got it!" But seriously, he's on point. He's super knowledgeable and super honest. Love this place. read more

Carpentaria is very lucky to have a full size, full service pet store like Lemos! The selection and prices are every bit as good as the big chains and the staff is incredibly helpful, professional and knowledgeable. While Carpentaria is not known for non-touristy retail stores... I find myself driving to Ventura and Santa Barbara more than I would like... I never have to leave town for pet supplies! read more

Above and beyond Customer service! Back story: Our dog has A super sensitive digestive system and is allergic to quite a few things. So about two years ago they helped us find the perfect food for her. We were so grateful for their help. Fast forward to today: We bought our regular bag of food a few days ago, but for some reason she wouldn't touch it. We thought maybe something was wrong with her tummy, tried to feed her other things, she would eat anything, but wouldn't touch the kibble. I called the store and they asked me several questions and immediately knew what the issue was. They took the old food back, notified the manufacture immediately, and gave me another bag that they were able to verify did not have the same problem. Thank you so much! We are very grateful for the excellent customer service, and commitment to our pets! read more

My fiance and I happened to walk by this store for the first time after having eaten lunch in the area, and after seeing the huge selection of toys through the window, and me being incapable of passing by a pet store without buying my puppy at least one new toy. My first red flag was the giant A-frame sign they had outside the entrance, promoting their "veterinarian-supervised" non-anesthetic dental cleanings, which they said prevent teeth and gum problems (which is a blatant lie). First, it's terrifying that they are allowing non-veterinarians to do dental cleanings. Second, non-anesthetic dental cleanings aren't able to clean below the gumline where dental and periodontal issues occur. Yes, your pet's teeth will look cleaner from this surface-level scaling, but unfortunately it doesn't prevent dental disease from occurring and is not even remotely the same as a veterinary anesthetic cleaning. The AVMA, AAHA, and AVDC all oppose non-anesthetic (aka anesthesia-free) dental cleanings. The 2013 AAHA Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats clearly state "cleaning a companion animal's teeth without general anesthesia is considered unacceptable and below the standard of care." In fact, any veterinary practice that performs non-anesthetic dental procedures will lose their membership in the AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association). I decided to go in anyway because I didn't want to deny my dog toys due to the store's poor practices. We spent quite a bit of time looking at dog toys, most of which were about 20% higher in price than at Petco, Petsmart, Chewy, or Amazon where we tend to shop. Lemos' selection was much bigger than those stores however, so I got a couple toys that I hadn't seen at the other stores. I was hoping to find a dog bed, but they only had like 4 different dog beds and they were poor quality, so no luck there. Next, we checked out the dog treats and were dismayed that most of the treats they offer were made in places like Thailand, and not the US. As we were walking to check out, an older gentleman came into the stoer and asked about cat food, and we heard the sales guy tell him that a certain brand (I don't recall the name off-hand, I'll look it up and edit this with the name) was "the best they have." I'm incredibly well-versed in veterinary nutrition and did not recognize the brand name, so I asked my fiance if he knew of the brand since he practices veterinary cardiology, and he had not heard of it either. So when I got to the register, I asked who makes the brand, and an olderish blond woman with a bun said "it's made by a guy who worked at a pet store and the company that made the food he was feeding his cat went out of business, so he decided to try to remake it." WHAT. I was definitely not expecting the answer to be "some guy" when they were touting it as the best food they carry. Wow. So I asked her if the brand meets WSAVA guidelines. She said "what?" three times, so I had to explain World Small Animal Veterinary Association nutritional guidelines to her, which she said she never heard of. She then got defensive and told me she doesn't know about guidelines, but she knows what ingredients are in the food -- which I found to be an incredibly weird thing to say because what use is knowing what ingredients are in pet food when you have no actual knowledge of animal nutrition -- as evidenced by the fact that she knew there was regular olive oil in the cat food made by "some guy," not extra virgin olive oil like the sales guy originally said. (Okay?) She went on to say that she doesn't trust veterinarians (quite the bold stance to make considering Lemos literally has a vet clinic in their store every Sunday) because they sell Hill's PRESCRIPTION diets -- as in a science-backed, specially-formulated food for animals with medical conditions that can only be purchased with a prescription by a veterinary doctor, just like if you needed amoxicillin from your own doctor, hence PRESCRIPTION; newsflash: Chewy and other stores sell it too (you still need a prescription to buy it) -- and that she doesn't believe in science/research-backed pet food because they use things like corn. Which I then had to go on to explain that corn is actually a healthy ingredient, and unlike cats who synthesize taurine in its natural form, dogs do not, and corn is one of the few sources dogs can use to get the systeine and methionine they need to synthesize taurine, and a lack of taurine (in both cats and dogs) can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (heart disease). I assume that at this point she ran out of nonsense points to argue and basically stormed off. We finished checking out and wished the older gentleman buying cat food good luck. There's no chance we will ever shop at this store again. The lack of animal nutrition knowledge of the Lemos store reps here is beyond ignorance, it's toeing the line of negligence. read more

amazing pet store! They have an incredible food selection, pet accessories as well as a myriad of fun toys and treats for our furry friends. The staff are always knowledgeable and helpful and the store is always in immaculate condition, nothing is ever out of order. I enjoy coming here, and of course, pets are welcome inside. read more

A big thanks to Brent who I thought was a manager. Found out he was not but should be. He is awesome knows where everything is and what u r looking for. I live in Carpinteria so I found out when he is working and that's when I shop there. I spend about 300.00 a month there if it wasn't for him and the girl who manages the stores I don't know her name Not sure I would shop there. Sorry to say that. But it the truth read more

First and foremost, we customers that enjoy remarkable customer service, most organizations usually do not hear from us! Due to the fact, we assume everyone is having the same great experience! The staff at Lemos in Carpinteria were fantastic. I bought a caged kennel, and the staff put together the kennel in minutes, and sent me on my way. We removed kennel from vehicle, and noticed a small crack in pet tray. Not normally a big deal, but this doggie that will be using kennel loves to make a mess and she would most likely leak through this pet tray. Went back immediately to store, but they had closed. The salesman noticed me at door and came to assist. He told me to bring kennel back for replacement. I returned a few days later and the *manager knew of the predicament, and he assembled another kennel for me and did the switcheroo quickly and efficiently. These guys are great with regards to meeting customer needs, so Kudos to the Carpinteria Lemos Team Ray, Tim and Eric for another great customer experience. read more

Friendly, decent selection and fair prices. I like that the staff here are friendly and if you bring your well-behaved pet in, they're friendly to the pets, too. Cute. The selection is pretty good. I'd like them to carry maybe a larger range of more natural products. The natural foods they have now are pretty much natural in name only and are canned and packaged by larger distributors, some of which are dubious when it comes to recalls and quality. But I get that they carry what sells and what can be kept at a certain price point. Speaking of prices, I don't think they are expensive at all. The food I've purchased here is the exact same price as elsewhere (La Cumbre Feed, The Wharf) so I'm not sure how a bag of food would be $20 more than at the Wharf unless it was a mistake, perhaps. The toys are the same price range as other stores, too and they have a much larger selection than at the SB store and also than PetCo. Another plus point is that they seem to have a LOT of bird stuff. I don't have a bird, but I know sometimes bird stuff can be hard to find outside a specialist store. read more

Thanks Loren for advice on Evo products, I'm sold!

Lemos in carpinteria is big and spacious -their prices are somewhat competitive

In the spirit of refill, my family and I look for products we can buy in unpackaged bulk supplies. At Lemos, we can bring our own bags and get dog treats from Iams, Mother Nature and Mother Hubbard in addition to pig and chicken parts. We also make a point to utilize Lemos' $5 off purchases of $25 or more special every First Friday when they stay open late (until 8:00 pm) too. read more

We will be coming back! read more

I live in Ventura , I got tired of my local pet store being out of stock on everything and changing staff every week. The second I walked into the store a young man greeted me with a good morning and how may I help you sir ! I asked for a hard-to-find dog food he asked me what size bag I wanted and how many . He carried it for me and rang me up at the cash register , I was pleasantly surprised they were cheaper than the Ventura stores. This is the store the other pet stores should strive to be . read more

They are always helpful and happy. Lemos is a great community partner and around here that goes a long way. Thank you Lemos.

Extremely competent and helpful staff. Very friendly service. Excellent selection of products for a variety of pets.

Quality items for your pet. Most big chains have just the same corporate brands, but this place has the selection you expect and more. From horses to dogs to birds to even fish. I was able to find frozen American sourced bone marrow for my dogs here. Massive selection of dog chew toys for those picky pets read more

First time visiting this establishment had bad thoughts when I saw it was on Main Street Carpinteria, figured they would be lacking space and items I needed but I was ecstatic when I saw they were nicely stocked very clean and organized. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable ( I heard the young lady on the register tell a customer that if she wanted another item there was a sale buy two get one free she went out of her way to tell her didn't have to do it but she did). They loaded my items on to my truck with a smile. will definitely come back thank you and keep up the good work. read more

It is a complete pleasure to shop at Lemos in Carpinteria! I am met at the door with a huge smile, called by name and asked what do you need today for Georgia Peach?

It is always there waiting for us. I am old enough to remember really good personal professional service and it is there in spades at Lemos in Carpinteria. Warmest thanks from us both.
