This is the third Lemos store I have visited and I'm so happy to say that the same efficient, informed, customer service appears to be alive and well at all three locations (Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and this one in Goleta). From almost the moment I walked in I felt the comforting warm presence of people who clearly love animals and their owners. After a brief browse I was helped by not just one, but two people who were intent on providing this customer with a positive experience. I took advantage of the sale on those obviously delicious bully sticks and bought a few other impulse items at the cash register. I got every thing I wanted and some ideas for my next visit. These folks are simply great. They know their products and are quick to steer the lost browsing customer to the product they seek with the impressive knowledge they seem to have of their products and the animals made very happy by them. They made this customer happy too. read more

We love Lemos in Goleta. My son Pierce's wonderful new dog Luna loves it too!! Especially the people that work there that advise him on what she should eat for treats and the toys that are best for her. The Vet that comes in on the weekends are also great! We have had them do her nails, keep up with vaccinations!! read more

I went in because I needed help with traveling with my 2 dogs. I explained we traveled 5 hours with both of my dogs nervous and most of the time on my lap. They made homeopathic remedies suggestions and helped me find a big dog bed (on sale) for our vehicle. Let me tell you. That made such a huge difference on our 5 hour drive back to our home. Every time we are in Goleta I will be visiting their store to supply our dogs with whatever they need. Thank you so much. The staff are friendly, helpful, professional and compassionate. I highly recommend this store. Here is a picture of our relaxed dogs on our trip home. read more

Lemos Feed & Pet Supply - The new travel bed. - Pet Stores Near Me - Goleta, California

I came by this afternoon for some teeny Greenie treats and canned dog food- my dog has been especially sensitive to dry food recently. They have high quality canned and bagged dog food. Lemos had so many Greenies including a value pack! $45 for 96 Greenies or the value pack was $49 for 130 Greenies... it was a tempting deal but I wasn't sure if my dog would be able to finish that so I settled for the small bag. Angel was the employee that helped me and even threw in some free dog treats. I recommend Lemos for the high quality brands they have and their customer service. The store is always clean! :D read more

Amazing customer service, very knowledgeable and friendly staff, they have a wide selection on dog and cat food. Very organized as well!

Definitely a fun One-Stop shop for all pet needs, and even more special on National Dog Day. Thank you Bernie for guiding us through the many dog-options, and helping us with an easy check out. Their selection of dog foods, food and water bowls, dog treats, toys, and dog brushes is excellent, and we found everything we needed. This clean and well organized store makes shopping all the more fun. So much going on at Lemos. read more

I am so lucky to have found this terrific store for pet supplies. I can walk here and pick up food etc. at any time! The shopping hours are great and I can find most needed items and much more. All the staff are very helpful Thank you Lemos Jennifer M read more

Knowledgable and friendly staff, great products and foods. Took my cat to their clinic for his shots and the staff for that was wonderful as well. read more

This is a nice pet supply store in Goleta. I stopped here because I needed some quality finch food and I trusted they would have a good selection. They did, and they carried it in bulk. I had my choice of filling my bag from a bulk bin or buying in 25 pound bags. I wanted two different kinds and didn't want 50 pounds so I went with the bags from bulk and got exactly what I wanted in the quantity I needed. The staff was friendly and helped me find just what I was looking for. They have some really great dog puzzle toys here; a brand/name I love - Nina Ottosson - but had NO foraging toys for birds or cats. So, I'm very happy with this place as a store to buy bulk bird seed or cat/dog products, but there is room for improvement in foraging/feeding toys/puzzles. Also, I get the feeling people have a lot more birds than guinea pigs in SB/Goleta since they didn't have guinea pig food in giant bags (didn't even have 25 pounders). Still, overall a good store. read more

Bernie is SO incredibly helpful. As new puppy parents it is awesome having someone take the time to explain things in detail, and give us written information to refer back to. We learned so much (and we promised to bring the pup with us next time! ) read more

Lemos Feed & Pet Supply - Golden retriever - Pet Stores Near Me - Goleta, California

I've always had good service and plenty of product to choose from when I've gone into Lemo's. The staff have offered the discount cards and been helpful with that, too. I'm looking for a mobile dog teeth cleaning service. Which one does Lemo's use? Thank you! read more

Great customer service. Very clean facility. I only checked out the self serve dog wash but everything else looked well stocked.

The staff were very nice. (Bernie, I think) was very helpful and knowledgeable about the products for a coughing dog. Thank you, Susan read more

Lemon Feed is an excellent pet store because of their excellent staff. I brought my puppy in to find healthy dog treats he might like. Within minutes, the staff had samples of their inventory in the palm of their hand letting my pup taste test. This is a business worth a visit. read more

I love this store. Bernie and Jason have been huge helps, but overall everyone is so kind and knowledgeable. Thanks guys!

Hi Paul, Thank you for your reply. I appreciate that you care enough about your reviews to be diligent to respond with courtesy and care - something that I did not receive from your sales crew. I am still concerned for the following reasons: 1.) You state: "We are all about pets, it's what we've been doing since 1972, nothing else. We have a lot a stake when it comes to your pets safety, health and wellbeing and would never intentionally jeopardize that." Your crew did not care about my concerns. They brushed me off and did not offer to share my concern with a supervisor. Worse, they told me they would throw out the toy instead of presenting the choking hazard to a manager. 2.) You state: "We've deeply discounted the DOOG sticks ($2.99 or less-well below our cost) in order to liquidate them due to poor sales. They were too expensive, not because of any safety related problems. We've received no other choking related complaints." If you're deeply discounting the toys, why not just throw them out or send them to the manufacturer? Why take a risk of upsetting future customers and harming their dogs and dealing with liability? Your website does not allow for comments or complaints. You may research the internet and find reviews on Amazon for the same toy. It receives a 2 out of a potential 5 star. Here are a few negative experiences dating from 2014: Mary Jane LaLonde 1.0 out of 5 starsDangerous fetch stick. They pose a choking hazard. January 13, 2016 It states that this is not a chew toy, however, I purchased the other DOOG STICKs and the hands snapped off when my dog fetched the stick. These DOOG STICKS pose a very dangerous choking hazard. LusciousL 1.0 out of 5 starsZERO STARS SHOULD BE AN OPTION!! August 2, 2014 I have had the same experience as a previous reviewer. I purchased this from my local Pet Valu and my 6 month old golden doodle didn't have this toy for more than 10 minutes and he was able to pop off the bottom plug and pull out some of the hair. Thank goodness I was sitting with him to see it! Yes, he was fetching it, but you have to expect there will be teeth action on this as the reviewer stated. Poor product and dangerous!! JUBALIYAH 1.0 out of 5 starsNot worth the money! March 17, 2015 Only after 20 minutes of playing with my dog with this product she busted a hole in it and off popped the head part. So I took it away from her. But for $12 I would have though that it was more burable then most rubber toys or not hollow inside. I called the company and they wouldn't do anything about it. I will never purchance anything from this company again! 3.) You state: "You made the alarming comment that the toy may be carcinogenic. I have place a call and email to DOOG's Manger of Operations and will update you on her response to your claim. All of our information regarding Doog, points to them using safe materials and manufacturing practices in all their products, they even comply with the EU's toy standard ENV71-1-2-3 which monitors mechanical and physical properties, flammability, and migration of chemicals, something relatively rare in the pet industry." Here's the problem: Rubber products are suspect when it comes to carcinogens. You can access formal studies going back decades by googling: rubber pet carcinogen. My complaint has to do with the "recycled rubber" from China. The manufacturer does not guarantee that the rubber toy is free from being carcinogenic should a piece break off and enter the mouth or nasal passage of a dog. I would like to know the source of the recycled rubber. The toy states that it is a "fetch toy" and not a "chew toy". However, if a dog fetches the toy and bites on the rubber, which is the only way to hold the toy in its mouth, bits of rubber come off. This is where your choking hazard and carcinogenic liability come in. The EU agency does not safeguard against this problem. 4.) The final issue goes back to the first: customer service. Paul, you can email me through Yelp to address this problem directly with me. Your official response saves face with the public, but does little to satisfy the individual customer who appears at your counter and presents a problem. read more

This is my favorite pet food store in SB. They have top quality merchandise at decent prices. Above and beyond that, the people who work there are very knowledgeable and helpful. And if that weren't enough, if I buy a food my dog doesn't like, they take I back. Now it is possible that all stores will take back opens food. But I do like the way they approach returns in general. It's very hassle-free. read more

Helpful knowledgeable staff. They stock a lot of items for different types of animals - so their stock is not extensive, but I would say the selection is sufficient for most people. Very convenient location and plentiful parking as well. read more

I love Lemos Pet and Supply! The staff is amazing and always willing to help (even loading the heavy dog bags in my car!). I want to give a huge shout out to Bernie who has always been extremely knowledgeable about each and every product. Since I brought my puppy home, Lemos has been my favorite stop. From beds, food, treats, toys, and medication. They even house a mobile veterinarian and veterinarian dentist on the weekends. read more

The people at Lemos are amazing! A gal named Bernie spent at least 20 minutes with me yesterday about my concern that my sweet Jasmine (Newdle) wasn't eating and losing weight and she really helped me relax about it. I have gone into all of the Lemos here in this area and their personnel are beyond helpful and full of information that I don't get anywhere else. Thank you! read more

Good to see this place getting some love. The staff are always friendly - saying hello and asking if I need help - without being pushy or hovering. They have good quality pet food at a reasonable price. It's so annoying buying food for picky pets that turn their noses up ("Ermegherd. Healthy foods. Does not want"). But Lemos is generous with their samples so your pet can try before you buy. I'm also impressed with how knowledgable the staff are about the science behind the foods and the supplements and medicines they stock. There's one guy who looks about ten years old, but really knows his stuff. He recommended a couple of products I'd never heard of for my dog, but I took a chance on his advice, and it paid off well. My dog loves coming here as well because they spoil him with attention. They also carry your bags to the car if you buy a lot (or because your dog is going feral with excitement I guess). Keep it up Lemos! You're putting the other places to shame. read more

Bruce is our beloved, but very stubborn, orange tabby cat. When Healthwise discontinued their orange bag of dry cat food, he protested. We began attempting to find another cat food that he loved. Over a few months, we tried four or five dry foods and five or six wet foods. He hardly ate anything, and lost a tremendous amount of weight. He finally stopped eating altogether, no matter what we tried. We took him to Dr. Sostrin, at VCA Noah's Ark Veterinary Clinic, who did lab work, we got antibiotics, appetite increasers, and take-home subcutaneous fluids and a big syringe to force-feed him high-calorie wet food. I made a trip to Lemos, and spoke with Bernie Rubio about Bruce's protest to Healthwise's discontinuing his food, and told her that Bruce was literally dying of self-inflicted starvation. Bernie told us about how she had requested Signature Pet Products to make essentially the same formula (which they call Healthy Cat Chicken Meal Recipe with Herring Meal), and Lemos had the food in stock, and on sale!!!! We grabbed it! After five days of force-feeding Bruce pureed food through the syringe every 2 hours, and a few more days tapering off the force-feedings, he finally took his first bite of food on his own, on October 26, 2016. He gradually increased his eating to a normal amount, now that he has his favorite food again, and he is back up to a healthy weight. Thank you, Dr. Sostrin, for working with me on the essential treatment plan. Thank you, Bernie, for being so brilliant as to request this custom formula. Thank you, Signature, for producing the food. Thank you, Lemos, for stocking the new food. Thank you, Lemos, for employing Bernie. (Give that girl a raise or promote her!) Thank you all, for helping to save Bruce's life! Becky and Bryan (and Bruce) Hunter P.S. Similar letter sent to Bernie, Lemos, VCA Noah's Ark, and Signature foods read more

Staff is as friendly and helpful as it gets! Thanks for the recommendations on food for our dog and cat! Love the fact they have a washing station for dogs here also! read more

Although a regular customer for years at Lemos, I went to Petco at Five Points this morning because they have a 20 % sale on dog halters. After about ten minutes not finding a halter that fit our dog (not their fault), went to front counter asking that they send someone to help us in the halter - leash section. After waiting ten minutes, we left. Went to Lemos. The staff at Lemos (Sean) had us fitted with a perfect halter and new leash to match and we were in and out in ten minutes (no joking). The staff even gave us 20 % off each item to match the sale at Petco. Now, that's a great deal. Ten minutes total. Exceptional sales people. Thank you, Lemos. read more

I have been shopping at the downtown Santa Barbara location for several years. Recently I've noticed a trend with the manager mistreating the employees. I've been a business owner in Santa Barbara my entire life and make every effort to treat my employees with dignity and respect. Limos is a great place, for the most part they are friendly and knowledgeable and have a wide variety of pet supplies. However, I'm surprised nobody is ever said anything about the way Crystal treats her employees. It is ridiculous. read more

Hands down my favorite pet store ever! The staff is amazing, the prices are the best in town, and they have plenty of stuff you can't find anywhere else. Bulk bird seed and rawhides, grain-free cat food in big cans. If you want something they don't have, they will immediately order it and will likely start stocking it as well. I bring my dogs with me to shop, and they always remember that one has food allergies and a bad back. They help everyone carry the heavy stuff out without being asked, and they have sales and specials all the time. read more

Went in yesterday for 1st time and it was packed with people and their pets, I was shocked by the incredible service everyone was receiving! Plenty of staff to spend time educating me on bark collars. Got a smokin deal on healthy treats, and easy parking too. Huge selection on fun and different leashes and collars as well, this is my go to from now on. read more

Employees are amazing, very helpful and friendly ! Great costumer service and I feel like they care about your visit. I love going to lemos and for sure going there whenever I need something.

I always love going to Lemos. Service is always consistently great and everyone is always willing to help, makes really helpful suggestions, seems to know what they are talking about, and just pleasant to be around. Really happy to see such a great local pet store in our area who cares about quality and our pets! read more

I've been going to this pet supply store for a bout 1 yr. and they've been consistently good in service, products, availability of items, special ordering, competitive prices, and especially in customer service. They're always friendly, outgoing, helpful, knowledgeable about their inventory and willing to find/order items that aren't in stock. They might not have a large variety of items as Petco or Petsmart do, but they make up for it in many other ways. read more

The place is kinda small but they have everything you need. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about this store. First and foremost, the manager, Bernie, is absolutely superb. She's friendly, helpful, caring and very knowledgeable about products, breeds, dietary needs and behavior. Selection and price are great and the store is always spotless! What a wonderful place to have your pet's needs met. read more

Staff is friendly and attentive are knowledgeable about pet food, i would highly recommend shopping here..they have small dog food samples.

One stop shopping for our pets. Great selection & helpful staff.

Having a pet should be fun and uplifting. The staff at Lemos support this goal 1000%. I'm told (by the staff) it was the owner's wish to provide a great customer experience. They have succeeded. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They are generous with their time and samples. Asking questions is a pleasure because I don't feel rushed. Their selection of quality pet food is wonderful, and their prices are reasonable. Go Lemos! read more

I visited this location to scope out the selection of rat toys. I was greeted by one of the employees and directed to the section I needed. The selection was no better than any other pet store and I was extremely disappointed to find that the shop attendant seemed to know nothing about the animals she was recommending products for. The first thing she recommended for my rats was a hamster wheel. After I commented that there was no way my rats would fit she recommended a different, also FAR too small wheel. Overall it was very disappointing. Not the kind of mistake I would expect at a pet store. read more

I've been a Lemos customer for years - they have a good selection and their employees have always been friendly and helpful. Recently a friend of mine was rear-ended by one of their delivery trucks while she waited on a red light. The driver apologized and admitted responsibility for the incident. Soon after she found out from her insurance company that Lemos had stated that she backed up into the truck (sideways from Calle Real into a driveway??!!), causing both insurance companies to go into arbitration. I personally think that a company willing to take responsibility off of themselves at the expense of someone who was unfortunately in the path of a runaway delivery truck is sketchy at best. I must wonder what other aspects of their business is run in the same manner which has caused me to take my business elsewhere. read more

This is my favorite pet store in town! It took me a couple months to change pet stores, but they finally won me over! Lemos has the best pet food, treats, and toys in town. The Lemos staff was what really won me over. They have the most incredible service and will truly go above and beyond to help you get what you need, which a hard to find nowadays. I was originally feeding my dog Blue Wilderness. After coming into Lemos and with the friendly service of Korinne, I was informed of a better brand for my dog. She was filled with knowledge and gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision to switch his food. We have been loving California Natural! She really made sure to listen to the problems we were having with our dog. I mentioned that it looked like he had hives or welts all over his back. Korinne immediately asked if he was on flea control and if would nip at himself. He was not on anything yet and he did do that to himself. We started him on Advantix immediately. The bumps gradually went away like she predicted! I mentioned that my dog was notorious for destroying toys. Korinne showed me bone marrow as a potential solution to that problem. We grab a bag every week now! We also became a sucker for the treat sales on the counters. I walk my dog over to visit the staff every week. It people like Korinne who really make a difference in people's lives. Going above and beyond my expectations makes me I love the staff so much! Huge shout outs to Lizzy and Luis. They make sure to help me out if Korinne's helping someone else. You all are the sweetest!! read more

They were very helpful, friendly, and efficient when I stopped in for dog food today. An employee met me in the dog food section and carried the bag over to the counter for me, then out to the car. Great service! read more
