excellent quality mealworms that have survived for several weeks now (mealworms purchased at petco & petsmart have died under a week). pet club has the best prices for small animal treats including name brands like oxbow. definitely come here to buy chinchilla supplies and millet for chinchillas, I also come here for dog treats and cuttlebone for turtles, pricing is the best in the area and better than online. the staff here are very sweet, i have always had a good experience with my purchases here. very pet friendly but if you are sensitive to smell, you may want to wear a mask. overall score 4.5/5 and -0.5 for the scent of the establishment read more

They have a good selection of canned pet foods. I buy Friskies seafood flavors. My cats love them. I bought blue-lipped mussels made by FussieFeast for my dear departed Giorgio who was delicate and hard to please. He loved it read more

I have gone to the Pet Club on Snell for many years and have recommended it because of the its prices. It's like a Marshalls for pet food/pet supplies. Come here first then get what they don't have somewhere else. It often has (or beats) Amazon prices. It's a little scruffy looking at this location and it may not have everything you're looking for but it's okay. Feels local. I recognize the people who work here. And just now, today, the thoughtful new cashier ran outside to let me know I forgot my cat litter. Now that's service, especially when she was the only cashier. Thank you, Pet Club. read more

This is the place to go if you are looking for a variety of dog food, treats and dog toys. Great place to bring your family and dogs too to shop their favorite toys. Always there's a products on sale. read more

Very rude to us right when they where closing. It was 6:58 on a Sunday I get it u close at 7. There are still people in the store and they stopped us at the door and said we r closed. I said I just need one bag of dog food we have NONE for our dogs (we come here all the time) he said no sorry. I was taken back and still need to find a spot for the dog food... what a rude ass read more

Pet the Upper Hand I can't believe I've been shopping here at Pet Club (PC) for over seven years now and still haven't written them a review. Well here goes: The Good: *This place is HUGE! Probably one of the biggest pet stores in the area and it's literally wall-to-wall stuff--a lot of other pet stores are big but they're full of nonsense. This is just straight stuff. Kinda reminds me of the Costco for animals. If you want it then they most-likely got it. *I really only come here for two things: they have the best price on Everclean® cat litter which is by-far the best litter on the market. Currently they're selling it for $14/25lb box but other stores sell it for +$20/25lb box. #notanad *Food prices are terrific and less expensive than Amazon and/or the big box stores--but you might be able to save money by using Amazon's subscribe-&-save program. Do your homework. *They host a lot of local animal rescue organizations adoption fairs. You can also make/purchase food donations at the register to help out local charities. *They host a VIP Pet Clinic every Sat 1-2:30 p.m. which a good, inexpensive way to get your cat/dog their shots. The Meh: *PC doesn't have a whole lot of employees (Probably how they keep prices low) so finding someone to help can be nearly impossible. The Ugly: *The fish tanks aren't always the cleanest around... =X TLDR: PC is a local chain of pet stores with eleven locations throughout the Bay Area that sells pet stuff for a really good price. Pro Tip: sign up for their weekly email list to get their ad and find more savings. read more

I love to go to pet stores to see the animals with my daughter and so we went straight to the fish to the left of the store and the tanks were filthy. I'm not a fish expert but I'm pretty sure the tank should not be brown, I get they have a lot of tanks and they probably just haven't gotten the cleaned yet but these were disgusting to the point you couldn't even see the fish behind the glass. Because of that we walked more towards the back on the left following the fish tanks. We realized in the back left they had mice and rats. Now rats don't gross me out in fact I think they could make a cool first pet but what we saw were tanks upon tanks of rats some grown adults and some BABIES. There were full grown hefty rats along with palm size rats and then babies the size of my pinky in one cage. But that's not even the worst part, I saw 4-5 rats of all sizes fighting and jumping on one another trying to get at something. At first I thought it was food but when I looked closer THEY WERE EATING EACH OTHER! A full grown rat tackled a palm size rat and they both were tug-of-war a newborn rat like a meal. I understand nature happens and that it's a part of life but there were AT LEAST 30 rats of all sizes in one small cage. UNEXCEPTABLE AND INHUMANE read more

Solid prices, I really appreciate the pet clinic on Saturdays. Associates are nice, if a little bored being there, but great people nonetheless. However, the store always smells funky and has been getting increasingly stinkier each time I come back for 5 years. If management is reading this review, please learn how to de-stink the store. I would hate to stop going to a local small business solely because of the horrible stench in the store. read more

The good: I like that they carry a lot of brands of cat/dog food that you cannot find at Target, Pet Smart or Pet Smart. The selection is great and included brands I've never seen before. I was able to get some cat grass here for $3 that my cat loves. They also have many discounts at around 10-20% off. There is plenty of parking here. The plaza looks older and isn't very busy. I saw some cute cat trees here that I've never seen at other pet stores (including a very cute flower petal one). They also have a pretty big refrigerator section for fresher/cold pet foods. The bad: The bathroom was out of order (very bad for my pregnant bladder). The cashier also said there was a dog/cat sale section in the back right corner but I went there and didn't see it. The interesting: There are several aisles labeled cat/dog as opposed to just cat or just dog. They also sell fish. read more

Great prices friendly staff been going for years they have a wide verity of dog and cat things!

It is funny how every day customer service is getting worse and worse From restaurant to retail store to cashiers Now day it is more important to them to talk and gossip about their lives than say hi to the guest or help the guest. It happen so often now and everywhere. I just came to buy some dog food at Pet Club and the cashier was nice but he just scanned the bag with out touching it ( I was nice enough to maje sure the bar code was on his side ) but after that he did not bring it to the other side where I was paying or nothing I have to go back and grab it myself which I can do but come on Where is the "Hospitality" or ok lets say just the plain customer service It just really sad how is getting worse and worse everyday and every where. read more

I just moved here and was super excited to see a pet store nearby. Nope, entered with a n95 respirator and was still so overwhelmed by the smell of PURE PISS that I had to leave. Keep in mind I wore these masks while working with cadavers and smelled NOTHING. This was nauseating. What the actual fuck. The poor bottom feeder employees that have to work here. Jesus. read more

I dropped in today to pick up some dog food and the store wasn't too busy on a Saturday. I was looking in the aisles and one of the staff members asked if I needed any help. I was just about to make my selection so I told him I didn't need any help. During check out, I saw the same staff member again and he was super nice and helpful. There wasn't too many people working, but not many guests as well. It was good I was able to get in and out easily. read more

I have been to a lot of pet stores across the bay area and this was probably the worst one I have ever been to. I think they violate many health codes and would be shut down upon any inspection. When you first walk in you will be overwhelmed with the smell of urine. The floors are completely stained and dirty. The fish area smells terrible and is unkempt with boxes of trash laying around. Half the tanks are empty or taped over with cardboard. There are piles of random trash and products scattered about the store. Customer service wasn't particularly friendly. Upon exit I asked the cashier which was the way to the exit and she confirmed the direction i was pointing in. The door did not work so I said ,"excuse me, this door isn't opening" and she replied "yeah it doesn't work" which would have been very useful information when I asked where the exit was lol i guess if you know what you want to buy and it's cheaper than other places then it'd make sense to come here. We drove a couple miles down blossom hill to petsmart and it was a much cleaner and more pleasant experience. read more

Great prices! I drive from downtown SJ to come here. Prices are unbeatable, not even by Amazon. Plus, I love that this is a family-owned business. I always recommend this place to my friends & family. I encourage you yo come here as well. It's my go-to place for all things doggo. (They have all kinds of animals stuff, though.) Apple Pay too! Yay! read more

Came here yesterday with my brother to check it out since my aunt recommended this place. When I first arrived it wasn't hard to find parking since its a big parking lot. Walking in there's a scale where you can weigh your puppy-dog which I like. Walked aisle through aisle the first 3-4 aisles were 70% empty. The leash asile barely had any leashes and collar. The fish tanks seems filthy and hasn't been maintained. Poor fishies! The register girl also seemed like she hated her job at first, but after breaking the ice and talking to her she wasn't rude or unprofessional. (Mind you- cashiers/clerks are human being too. They're like customers who have feelings & things they go through. Not just customers. Sometimes us customers just needs to break the ice instead of giving them back the same look/demeanor.) I was actually comparing the prices here since some said it was cheaper. It's actually 50/50. Some prices are jacked and some prices are ~$7 less the most. *When you come here and is here for the more affordable items of yours be sure to price check on your phone* They have a selection of dog beds, but 2/20 (20 estimated #) beds they have is super thin. If your fur baby were to lay on it- it would go flat real quick. There is no support. I felt every single one as I was looking for a more padded orthopedic bed for my fur baby. There are different variety of chews. This is what I super liked. From treats to dog bones- my favorite aisle. Including the toys with the cute ropes with the ball on them. read more

I have been shopping here for years, so they must be doing something right. The place is huge, has ample parking, and pre-covid, was well stocked. The supply chain shows signs of (FINALLY!) becoming restored, so goods are becoming more ample. As far as prices, Pet Club is usually able to beat Petco and PetSmart. Pet supplies (especially toys!) are notoriously overpriced industry wide. You just KNOW that $4.99 catnip stuffed mouse costs like, 2 cents per ton to manufacture. PC tho, seems a little bit less egregious in their pricing. Fish: I gave up on trying to keep tropical fish. Once in awhile tho, I will walk thru PC's section. It is an island of "Sad." The aisles are laid out kinda wAcKy in a few places. It's like: Cat/Dog Cat Dog Cat Make up your mind! Don't know whether to meow or bark! (Just kidding tho - t'ain't no big thing). Finally....the employees. Funny thing. Most of the female employees are fine to great. A couple of the dudes tho... I think need to find a donor list for a personality transplant! In the past few weeks, I made friendly, incidental chatter with two different guys, but was ignored by them. Me: 8-D Them: :-| In the words of the Great Roman Reigns: Acknowledge me! Ha ha! Bottom line: Pet Club usually has what I want, and for a good price. I don't have to hang out with the flat affects, so yeah, 4 Stars! read more

I've been to other Pet Club stores before. This one was a mess. Disorganized, stuff lying all over the place no rhyme or reason to where anything was. Prices were high. read more

Went to get a dog crate for my new puppy. The crates were stained with a sticky yellow substance which I assume was animal pee because of the smell. There were also small droplets of poop on them and dirty smear marks all over them. It was completely disgusting and I left immediately after seeing this. A literal health hazard and this establishment would fail an inspection badly. read more

I love getting my live feed here for reptiles. The staff is usually very friendly. Hours are always correct and the prices are cheap! Way cheaper than petsmart so I will take the longer drive to save money and have a better experience. Not all have live feed though so I have to come to this one. read more

I come here mostly for dog treats. Bought a beautiful beta fish as well, and got a decent tank for a decent price. Ended up going back for the filter and LED light. read more

Pet Club - Beta Tank - Pet Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

Overall a great pet store! My family and friends no long shop with Petco or Petsmart following the horror stories of animal abuse, pet discrimination (pit bulls), etc. Usually we go to feed stores because they offer a lot for bunnies at a good price and they're usually smaller brands that are made with better ingredients, but they closed early today so we made a stop a pet club. We've been here in the past and liked it as well, but today we realized it's a pretty good store. Luckily they have a wide range of products for all kinds of animals and at great prices. We're pleasantly surprised by all the great deals they offered such as; buy one get one free, 10%-50% off, and small donations packages. We were sold on the inexpensive and lovely option of being able to purchase a small care package for shelter animals! We will probably continue to shop at feed stores because of the large options for bunnies, but Pet Club will always be a great back up! read more

Management really needs to step in and open the store on time. EVERY time I go to this store in the morning, they NEVER open on time. I am currently waiting (been waiting for 20 min) with a crowd of customers outside for someone to open the door. read more

this is a warning to your pets I bought food from here and it had a few holes with tape on it when I was in the store to perches it I didn't see the tap at first but when I got home I noticed that it had a few taped whole when I went and looked closely it looked like rat holes cover up so l went to the store again to try and return it but when I got there I noticed how there was rat poop everywhere and it smelled horrible then trying to find an employee to help me l walked around the alíes i found some rat trap just laying around then I saw the back room and it was full of just dead rats on what it looked like glue traps it was a horrible experience please don't bring your animals here or feed the food from there a lot of rats carry diseases that can be in those tape bags so please be careful read more

Went to Pet Club on Snell Sat morning, and it seems the employees are bothered by you coming into the store. If you hate your job that much, might be time to look for another one. Drove to the one on Homestead and was welcomed as soon as I walked in. I don't care how close the one on Snell is, I will make the trek to Santa Clara. It was disgustingly dirty too!! read more

They have real pretty pet quality feeder rats. $4.99. If I had known and seen this rat I would not have bought it as a feeder rat. Next time I'm going to be sure it's a frozen rat that was humanly euthanized. Hopefully there won't be a next time because this snake has to go. Not ok. read more

Pet Club - Feeder rat ? Really?$4.99 - Pet Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

We brought our puppies in the store to look for new toys for them and our birds. The first aisle I went to had rat traps set on the floor! Seriously! I understand that a feed store would have mice and rats but to keep traps set and out during business hours is dangerous. Someone could have stepped on them. read more

Amazing staff, reasonable prices, & absolutely anything & everything you could need as first-time pet owners. Dogs & cats? Low-cost vaccinations, food & supplies for your fur babies. Bunbies, birds, fish, reptiles? Almost literally every companion animal is able to be cared for with their affordable & high quality products! I definitely recommend doing your research before stocking up on your supplies, though. Dogs/cats: research your food products. The cheap food that comes in bulk are great for the feral cats outside that find their nutritional needs elsewhere & also don't survive half as long as the domestic kitties, anyways...but some of the ingredients that are found in those foods can cause cancer, kidney/dental diseases, & general health issues. Sand can be safe for adult reptiles, but not recommend for babies as it may cause impaction in their bellies... you won't know when they're sick until it's too late. Live rodents? Perfect if you're nursing a wild snake/large lizard back to health & monitoring the process or killing/injuring the poor animal before feeding. If you've read this far, you're already better than half of the pet parents I met while working at Petco & Andy's Pet Shop. Often times people don't want to do their own research, & that hurts your new addition to the family. You can never be too thorough when it comes to providing for another living being! That's the only reason I rate them a 4/5 stars is because they stock the unhealthy products that sell faster because of the unbeatable prices. You know what is the only thing that beats those prices? A happy, healthy pet. Also, their small selection of shirts are hilarious. read more

Pet Club - Pet Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

It is like the Walmart of pet stores. It's grimy inside and a lot of their shelves are bare. Good luck finding what you want/need. Oh and don't bother asking the people working there. They are too busy hiding from you or practicing their vacant stares in case you catch them and ask a question. Cheaper than Petco but seriously, plan ahead and use Chewy...this store smells and looks like sadness... read more

I've been shopping at Pet Club since they were located in Mountain View and only accepted cash or check. It's a long drive for me to the Snell location, but well worth it when I had 8 cats to feed. Their prices and selection are excellent, IF and WHEN the shelves are stocked. I went on a Monday and shelves were empty. I asked about it and was told they restock on Tuesdays. So next time I went on a Tuesday afternoon. I always see the same guy (manager?) working there, and he was stocking shelves. There were palates all over the place, but I didn't see the type of food I usually buy in a case. I hung out in the store for awhile and picked up a few items, but was hoping to leave with a lot more than I got. By the way, the employees who saw me walking around and around, and peeking at the palates, never asked if I needed help or if there was a particular item I was looking for. read more

Customer service has gone DOWNHILL. Long line, 1 register open. Took about 20 min and 3 register switches to buy 1 bag of dog food. On the final register change, the youngster closed that register when I was next, had me go back to another register but took another customer before me. I didn't say anything because it was an elderly man but I let her know she should take the NEXT customer and not allow just anyone to come over next. She was like eh...whatever...no acknowledgment or apology....didn't say shit, not one word. Been coming here for years but they just lost me. read more

Would you drive 35 miles round trip to save $25 on pet food? How about $15? $10? Since Pet Club closed in Mountain View in April, it's a 44 mile round trip to Pet Club San Mateo, or a 37 mile round trip to Pet Club Blossom Hill San Jose, from my home in central Sunnyvale. A lot of retired people like the wife and I have pets. Marty, our cat of 14 years passed away last month. But we still have Stan, a very large 17 lb white cat. Stan is like my wife -won't eat the same food two meals in a row. Cat needs training and wife needs training! My late mother in law the last 10 years of her life could not drive a car, so had to walk or take a bus to shop for her pet food. The Safeway and Petco stores within walking distance of my house sell the 5.5 oz canned Friskies Buffet for $0.65 and $0.61 respectively. If you can drive long distances, Pet Club sells it for 4 or $1.69 or $ 0.43 a can, maximum 48 cans. If you have no car you are SOL as taking a bus from Sunnyvale is out of the question to these stores. I go to the www.petclubstores.com web site and click on this weeks advertisement, which changes every Wednesday. I cut out a coupon, the 3 ounce $0.53 Fancy Feast, maximum 24 cans. I check the San Jose Mercury News, for two more coupons that don't appear in the web site. One coupon is buy $30 worth of non sale products and get a $5 credit on your purchase for customers from Sunnyvale, Mountain View, or Palo Alto. The other coupon is get two 5.5 ounces cans of cat food free with purchase of cat food. Don't subscribe to the newspaper? Well, you can always go to your public library and cut out the coupons from the library copy of the newspaper -if somebody like me hasn't already done it. Do it discretely, when nobody is looking, as the Sunnyvale pokey is right next to the library! Every three months I have to restring my tennis racquet, driving from Sunnyvale into San Jose, so I combine this trip with going to Pet Club in Blossom Hill. The tennis racquet restringing takes 2 hours, so I go next door to get a hair cut, before using my coupons at Pet Club 10 miles away. The Pet Club in Blossom Hill is the same format as the one in Mountain View and San Mateo, spacious and clean, with canned and bagged pet food stored on shelves like in a warehouse. 1:30pm Wednesday, nobody here but us retired folks. I check out the in store advertisement deal: buy 36 cans of cat food and receive a 2 lb bag of Fussy Cat dry food free. Deals like this are not advertised in newspapers nor on the internet. My cat loves Fussy Cat, but it is a very high calorie, 406 kcal per cup, dry food, compared to the Royal Canin Light , 291 kcal per cup. I buy the 14 lbs Royal Canin Light for $44, using the $5 out of town gas credit coupon from the Mercury News, in addition to the 48 cans of Friskies Buffet at 4 for $1.69. And I get two cans of cat food for free with the other newspaper coupon. Just like going to ARCO gas stations: cash or debt card only -no credit cards. Compared to Safeway, I save roughly 20 cents per can for 72 cans total, plus 2 cans free, plus the $5 gas credit, along with the free $6 2 lb Fussy Cat, or a grand total of $27 saved. I check out the Pet smart web site, and they have Friskies on sale for $0.48 a can, and Fancy Feast for $0.58 a can, so the savings here would be only $17 saved. In one trip, my tennis racquet strings get clipped, my hair gets clipped, Pet Club ads get clipped, but my wallet does not get clipped! 74 cans of cat food, one 2 lb bag, one 14 lb bag. Who am I feeding, the entire San Jose pound? read more

It has choices here for different type of pets, also the price is fair umlike patco stores where in business but it is really only about earning money.

I'll pass. Just got a new puppy and someone recommended this place. I came here looking for a few specific items and only found one of the things on my list. I did notice that their prices a couple of dollars cheaper than PetSmart but saving a couple of dollars is not worth the bad service. The employees wont bother with a simple hello much less offer help. When I was checking out they were bad talking a customer from earlier, that's when I decided I would not return. For those of you shopping here for the savings remember chewy.com has good deals too. read more

Pretty decent place. Has a wide selection of dog/cat food. Although I don't think they have Instinct, but it is okay. FYI--they only take cash and debit card. I find that a little weird since the place is so big. The staff is friendly and ready to help. Pets are welcomed. read more

This shop is near my mom's house, so is a good spot to pick up sundries for my dogs when I visit. During my most recent visit, I had a new puppy in tow that was apparently having trouble generalizing the concept of potty training to mom's house ... so off to Pet Club. It is a huge shop, generally well-stocked with all sorts of national brands of foods, toys, treats, and most importantly in this case, enzymatic cleaners and puppy pads. It does feel a bit like a warehouse, but prices are good. We should be well-stocked for the duration of our visit. read more
