    Storefront in shopping center
    Ben A.

    My kid is taking music lessons at a different place in the same shopping center, so this initial review is based on my walk-by and peek in the store, as well as what I could father from the store front. PTF Pets seems to be largely an aquarium place-- the back walls are covered with tanks, there are aisles on the floor, and a couple of workers were loading styrofoam containers of presumably live fish while I was standing there. The storefront features male betta fish for $4.99, live koi, and aquarium starter sets. Prices seem reasonable, although I didn't get any time in the store. Perhaps they're not quite open for business yet in this recovering shopping center? Posted hours show open until 7 PM M-F, and until 6 on weekends, but they were locked at 5:15 today. Going to head back over and check the place out next Tuesday... the neighborhood hasn't had a specialty aquarium store since Vince's Pets shuttered years ago over on Foothill. And no, the big box PET stores in the area don't count.

    Assorted Molly's / Serpae Tetras / Columbian Redfin Tetra / Neon Tetras from PTF.  Had these for weeks and they are happy & healthy!

    Store is a little chaotic. Good supply of aquarium stuff. Bettas all looked roughed up at least 2 dead. Would not go back.

    Ann was extremely helpful! We've been coming here for a while now and everyone's very kind but Ann…read morewent above and beyond with helping us today!! Thank you so much, Ann! Other notes: - the store is always clean - the employees are always kind - they do adoption events - matching quality brands to choose from for your fur baby!

    This Pet Food Express is located on Lake Ave, 2 doors down from Nick's South Late Avenue restaurant…read moreand across the street from CAVA. I have visited this store a handful of times with my little girl dog and pretty much every single time that we have visited, we have always purchased something for her. On our last visit, we ended up purchasing her these Canine Marketplace Chicken Chips. As our little girl is getting older, my husband and I started cooking all of her meals (she no longer eats any kibble. Honestly if you want to know, a lot of dog food out there is actually poor quality which actually could be a large contributing factor as to why your pups are getting sick. I have been told by a few veterinarians that if you were to cook for your dog, it would most likely eliminate most needs for any digestive issues and diet related problems that pets have). And because she is on a particular diet, we don't typically purchase treats for her anymore. But have discovered this brand of chicken chips, as the only ingredient is just chicken. Nothing else is included (Farm to Pet is a larger brand that also has single ingredient treats but surprisingly it is cheaper per ounce to purchase this brand). So we come here to purchase these chicken chip treats for her (surprisingly only a few places sell this brand online... and although we may rely so heavily on Amazon to purchase anything and everything, they don't sell this brand). She just loves these treats and I feel good knowing that I can give her these treats and that they are shelf stable (although we do make her chicken, it stays in the fridge. This is nice that I can pack some of these chicken chip treats in a small container and put them in purse so that I can have them on hand for her when we are out). We have also purchased other treats for our little girl in the past (when we were not cooking for her before) and have always had great customer service. We are always greeted by an employee, no matter if we enter in the front or the back. And also having a friendly employee who greets us and our little girl at the register. Overall, this is a great pet store and am glad it is here.
