Vest, harness, leash, collar, tags,, and bone, all purchased from Pet Food Express!
Amy C.

I can't stress enough how amazing the employees are at this Pet Food Express location. As first time dog owners who unexpectedly adopted a dog, we have been so grateful for how helpful, reassuring, and loving every employee has been. Shay was the first person who helped us get everything we needed to make our dog feel comfy and cared for. She was super patient, knowledgeable, and extraordinarily helpful. Ruben helped us on our 2nd trip and lovingly showered our pup with affection and showed us how to properly put on our new pup's harness. I am especially impressed with how knowledgeable the employees are about the products in the store and broader marketplace. Thank you to Shay, Ruben, and all the other employees who showered our new dog with treat samples, kindness, and care. Your expertise and kindness brought so much joy and comfort to our growing family. Other things that might be helpful to know: 1. The parking lot is small and difficult to navigate but there is add'l parking on the upper level. Definitely recommend avoid going between 5p-7p if possible cause there's a lot going on in the complex between pickups from Han Martial Arts and dinner at Italian Colors. 2. Returns and exchanges are hassle free at Pet Food Express, just make sure to hang on to your receipt in case your pet doesn't love that bag of treats or you bought the wrong sized item. 3. The online shopping experience is easy to navigate AND if you shop online through this link: https://www.petfood.express/?p=ROCKET, they will donate 4% to Rocket Dog Rescue, a wonderful volunteer-run organization that saves lives.

Go straight to this location. Have been to other stores and this is the best one by far. The staff is wonderful. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and fun! Taking my 10 mo puppy has been challenging. The staff are the best at working with him and helping him feel comfortable. They don't mind us walking around the store checking things out, even when they are busy. Love, love, love this location. Special props to Patrick, Monica and all others for exceptional service and suggestions (and special treats for the puppers).

Really love this location. All the staff are so attentive and really goes out of their way to provide a consistent phenomenal service. I come here to bathe our dogs after running them at the dog park and very convenient too right off Hwy 13. There are I believe six dog bathe station and split into three different rooms which is fantastic with lots of space between dog owners. They provide three towels but you can ask for extra in case you need them. If you buy three tokens you get the fourth dog bath token for free. The mobile vet VIP Pet Care is also here on Saturdays I believe around 3pm. You checkin using their QR code and they will text you when it's your turn to be seen. I also like that the aisles are clearly marked so very easy to find what you're looking for. Good selections of dog food and treats, and they have a dedicated area for pet hemp products which I think is very cool. I highly recommend coming here for their excellent service and good selections of pet products all in one. Cheers!

Super cool dog washes.

See all

East Bay Vivarium - Baby bearded dragon

We were looking to add a new member to the family with a bearded dragon. Instead of going to a…read morechain pet store, we decided to come out to East Bay Vivarium because we have trust in their sourcing and care methods. The staff workers were very knowledgeable and gave us the entire download of how to properly care for our new pet. Even though I've been a bearded dragon owner before, I learned so many new things that I didn't know before. We wanted to make sure we were choosing the right animal for our needs and the staff was very patient in taking out all the different animals we were interested in meeting before we made our final choice. Our new family member has now been with us for a couple of weeks and seems to be thriving. We are very happy in our decision to purchase from this business.

I walked out of here upset. Reptiles and small animals are kept in enclosures barely bigger than…read moretheir own bodies -- snakes that can't stretch out, lizards with nowhere to climb or hide, rabbits and rodents with no room to do anything but sit. These aren't display objects. They're animals with needs, and those needs are being ignored for the sake of fitting more inventory on a shelf. If you're thinking about bringing one of these animals home, please don't buy -- adopt. There are reptile rescues, small-animal rescues, and shelters across the area overflowing with snakes, bearded dragons, turtles, rabbits, and rats who already need homes, and they'll come with honest information about care and lifespan instead of a sales pitch. Buying from a store like this doesn't save the animal in the tank. It just tells them to order another one.

It can get very packed and you definitely need to arrive way before the store opening to get in queue for vet clinic services but they do their best to be as efficient as possible. I always recommend petvet to my fellow pet parents.

I took my dogs there for ear infections and flea meds. My female dog had a cyst on her. Initially…read morewhen I asked them about removing the cyst I was told they can't do it and to take her to a surgeon for removal. But the cyst wasn't bothering her, nor was it solid like cancer so I decided to leave it alone. It had been 2 years with the cyst no problem. So I took them in April of this year for the ear infection and flea meds. When they brought her back to me they told me they had drained the cyst. THIS WAS NOT WHAT I BROUGHT HER FOR NOR DID I ASK AT THIS APPOINTMENT!! I asked why they did that and she said the doctor told her it was normal practice which I knew was not! The told me to monitor it and if it got infected to bring her to an emergency clinic. A few days later the cyst was back and larger! It was now hard and filed with blood! I tried to take her to the El Ceritto location and was told they couldn't help her and to call a surgeon. I called and took her around and was getting estimates of about $2800! I couldn't afford that. I called Petvet back and told them and they basically said I'm on my own and wouldn't help me save her. I was deeply devastated. By that time the cyst ruptured and was now a giant hole on her side. Luckily I found Vets In Vans. They quickly put her in antibiotics and got the infection down. Then was able to heal her with meds from the inside out. I spent almost $1000 trying to save my dog. Today I went back simply for a flea med refill and was turned away in the most rudest manor from a white lady with matted hair like a dog, who works there. She yelled at me in front of everyone that they won't see my dogs ever again because of "what I had done before". I was confused because I definitely did complain but was never rude. And in fact I could have complained to the board but chose not to because that was literally the only issue I've ever had with them. But after today's treatment from that lady with the dog matted hair, I am definitely filing! She is the true definition of a Snow Roach and should never be allowed to work with anyone's pet again! I asked for her name, she refused and told me figure it out! Would not give me the manager or owners info to file a complaint. There is also a young African American Woman who was very nice and professional who did take the time to hear me out. But she also denied what had happened saying their clinic doesn't do cysts. I asked her for the paperworkfrom April's appointment and she kindly gave that to me. And that is where I discovered that they actually noted that they drained the cyst I showed it to her and she even looked surprised. So needless to say I'm filing a complaint with the board and a small claims court claim as well!

We spent a couple of hours perusing through the exhibits on a Sunday. There is a lot to look at and…read moreif you're a kid, or a reptile enthusiast, there is a lot to get excited over. You have an assortment of diff reptiles, from monitors, to snakes, to iguanas, to geckos, etc. that you can choose to observe, pet, hold, or even buy. If you decide to buy anything, you also have all the items available to set up a tank for the first time or just stock up on some supplies if you already have an existing set up. The prices here were very competitive, there were exhibit deals happening all around. If you do want to hold a snake, or even take a picture with it, it will cost you at least $5 a round, so that was a bit costly.

Reptile Realms (aka the San Jose Reptile Show), for the last two years has been unable to hold the event at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds (as they did annually pre-covid). So they expanded to holding the expo at the San Mateo County Event Center for 2022. Basically there are LOTS of reptile displays, with most of the creatures for sale, and all of them for show. We found mostly snakes, all kinds of sizes, some with very unique patterns, vendors willing to share plenty of knowledge and info about the species, and even some snakes visitors could hold (for free). Besides snakes, there were roaches, crickets, tarantulas, shaved mice, lizards, geckos, chameleons, bearded dragons, tortoises, and some species I can't even name. I realize not all were reptiles, but there was also reptile "food" for sale, and other creatures. And you could get up close and personal with these animals, it was so cool. They also sold clever animal T-shirts and hats, toys (lots of snake themed, but also random stuff like unicorn horns), habitats, plants, and food (for reptiles and for humans). The event took place mainly in a giant hall, so it felt spacious even with the crowds. There were no lines and no wait to enter. And there was plenty of parking (with a $15 fee which was more expensive than the admissions ticket). Some of the reptiles are just sooo cute, especially those baby tortoises, this is a great place to find a new pet. But not for me... my bunnies wouldn't like that.

Was able to pop in and out just before closing and get exactly what I needed in no time. Lots of efficient help here. I think good prices too - and faster than waiting for shipping in an urgent case. Lots of parking and in a shopping center that is convenient if you do shopping elsewhere. There is this homeless skinny black cat and I had the suspicious feeling he has worms - he is so friendly I was able to put Advantage on him and so I thought after that was taken care of a dewormer would be worthwhile. I like to call him 'The Husband' - he takes care of his wife - a callie cat - and guards the stairs from intruders as she eats. He really isn't interested in eating - I think he might do that elsewhere - but he likes to hang around and sit next to me after his wife eats and runs. He is so skinny and the two of them look sort of pathetic. Globs in their fur, probably diseases and fleas - but I like them. Due to their upper respiratory disease I have to be carful with them and not introduce their problems to my cat - but I still help them out best I can. I give them wet food and dry and Lysine from here to help with allergies or the URI. Probably in the future i will TNR them as Mrs Meow looks worn out from having children with this guy. I like her a lot she reminds me of my Pig Pig.
