    Full stocked on their bakery items!
    Ang V.

    Wow, this Petfood express is amazing and one of the best ones in the Bay! And I've gone to my fair share of PFE. What I like most about this place is their self wash station. A total of 5 tubs. 1 of which was like a shower so it was open which I think is great for a disabled person or disabled dog that may not be able to climb up into the tub. Yay for inclusivity! I also really like that they had a timer on the wall. Other places just have a clock. You get 25 minutes and once you reach the minute mark the timer makes an alarm sound to let you know you've got 60 seconds left. They also have bottles of shampoo out which was nice because I felt like I wasn't getting any through the hose. I came 30 minutes before closing and was surprised their pet wash was still open. I'm thankful they didn't turn me away because my pet wash would have been done just around the time they were about about to close. Their bakery items was fully stocked. Huge space and lots of great options! I don't live too far from here and I wouldn't mind driving all the way to this location just to use their pet wash again. Also buy 3 baths get 1 free so 4 baths for the price of $45. ($15 each). They've had this deal for the longest and it's worth it!

    Dog food

    I came into the store and Ms Trina was absolutely phenomenal! I explained my problems with my dog and she took her time and fully explained to me what steps I should take. Upon me doing exactly what she told me to do I instantly noticed changes in my dog's behavior! I truly appreciate her so much! Thank you Ms Trina again and look forward to coming back to this establishment!

    Great dog wash station. Very clean

    Another great experience this weekend at this pet store for the dogs wellness shots and they have an actual wellness clinic inside which was fantastic they have an offer dog training and have a designated space for it indoors and outdoors they have plenty of space for parking big store with lots of products variety and very friendly staff as well. They offer all sorts of frozen and natural products as well as additional products for dogs. They have food for all sorts of other fish birds and felnes

    I really like this location because the staff is so friendly, nice and helpful. PROS -huge selection of inventory and they always have what I need. I can't remember a time that I've gone there and when they have run out of anything at this particular location -they have a kitty adoption Center so I always love strolling by to visit them :) -extremely friendly, nice, and helpful staff -I love how big the store is, easy to move around and shop with my big dog. Doesn't feel closed in and cluttered like other locations CONS -parking can be difficult in this area bc of all the stores

    My cat loves their toys, and they have a good selection of high end food for her. It's my go to store. Very clean. They obviously know what they're doing. I found it hard to get a kitten here, but that's a good thing. I think if you want a kitten, they want you to take two. That's good for the older cats who need a home. I ended up getting the cutest, sweetest, most energetic kitten in the world at the Pleasanton SPCA. It was no cake walk there either, but again, that all goes to the advocacy of safe environments for pets.

    We got a new puppy and brought her to the VIP PetCare Wellness Center that's inside the store, while we were waiting to be seen by the Vet, we of course had to look around the store. There was a very nice women who works there (Her name is Heather) and she helped us pick out tons of awesome treats for our new puppy. She was so kind to us and our puppy, we decided to come back to this location for our puppies second round of shots. The Second time we came to get our puppies shots at the wellness center, she remembered us! She even gave our puppy some pets and treat samples and stopped by the wellness center to see how big our puppy has gotten. She remembered our names and helped us out again with shopping for awesome treats to give her. We've never had such a kind hearted employee treat us with so much love and respect. Definitely will be coming back for the outstanding customer service she gave us. She made us feel so confident knowing we bought the right treats/products for our puppy. She's the reason why we will continue to shop at this Location. Thank you Heather for all you do!

I trusted that he would be safe with them. I took him to boarding school for two months to fix his past traumas and let him do a one month daycare here afterwards. He seemed a lot better with more socialization. Thank you to wag hotel Oakland for being patient and letting my dog thrive. I would recommend the 30 day daycare if pet parents are busy with their day or want socialization for their dogs

    Shame on you Wag Hotel!…read more I scheduled boarding for my dog Hans at your facility back on 1/28 in preparation for a trip to Japan on May 3 - 8, which you accepted on 1/31. However, when we arrived at your facility on May 2nd, the day before my flight to Japan, your front desk staff informed me that Hans' 5/2 - 5/8 boarding was being denied due to him having a heart murmur condition. Even though I've been a loyal customer to you for over 10 years; and that Hans' heart murmur condition had already been noted in your system since 2024; and given that my flight to Japan was less than 24 hours away; and given the fact that your facility waited until I was at the checkin desk in order to inform me of Hans' boarding denial; I was still told that there was nothing that your facility could do and that it was simply following company policy. Luckily for me, I demanded to speak with a manager who then took it upon himself to assist me in finding another facility that would board Hans at the very last minute. So kudos to that manager. However, you should know that he had to make several calls going down your "other recommended facilities" list in order to find a facility that was willing to board Hans on such short notice even with him having a preexisting heart murmur condition. So again, kudos to that manager. So unfortunately, this is how our relationship ends after I've been a loyal customer to you for over 10 years. Policy aside, not only should I have been notified far in advance to my May 2nd boarding schedule, but that I should have also been given an accommodation due to the last minute nature of your notification. It was simply amazing to me to hear both your Manager, and your front desk staff all admit that a notification error had, in fact, been made by your boarding authorization unit, but due to company policy there was nothing that could be done and that Hans would simply have to boarded elsewhere. Obviously, both my years of customer loyalty and the fact that your authorization unit had made a horrendous mistake, made absolutely no difference whatsoever in my situation. So goodbye, and again shame on you Wag Hotel!

Not a single complain. +Dog training+ While we were pretty amazed by the intelligence of our corgi, it was clear that our DIY dog training via YouTube videos wasn't gonna cut it in the long run. So we got some dog training estimates from around Oakland, and the most affordable option was the one from Unleashed, where classes start at $119. We signed up for "Puppy Level 1", which really laid the necessary groundwork for our dog: sit, down, stay, come, etc. Each class lasts an hour and the course lasts 6 weeks. But while there can be appeal & concern at the same time for a dog training class that's, well, cheap, rest assured you will get the best possible trainer: Steph! She's the most down-to-earth, approachable & knowledgeable dog trainer that you'll have the pleasure of working with. She always pushed our corgi to the max, but always through positive enforcement. Because of her, we signed up for "Adult Level 1" as well. Pro tip: on the last day of training, your dog will get a big baggie full of cookies so no need to purchase a graduation gift (chuckle.)

I had reached out to Heather seeking advice on how to help a stray cat "Miss Kitty".  Miss Kitty comes around 2x a day for food in my backyard. She is a very pretty kitty with medium length black hair who seems to have some matting issues. Miss Kitty is very skittish but I have been slowly building trust with her these past few weeks. So can now pet her. Given she has been outdoors she is not used to being brushed and gets scared when she sees it. I contacted Heather seeking advice for how to best help the cat with her coat. Heather very generously spent 30+ mins talking with me.  We covered all sorts of topics. Including ways to desensitize the cat to brushing, which sort of brush/comb to use, and how to make sure it's also paired with a positive reward (like a treat). HEather also explained that I should first get her used to me brushing/combing her where there are no tangles, just so that cat can get used to the experience. Then as I build comfort with cat, gradually work my way over to the tangles to gently work on them.   She also gave her take suggesting that maybe this was winter undercoat growing out with some tangles. Versus extreme matting that was pulling the skin and causing pain to the cat. Which was a huge relief in itself! We also spoke about the pros/cons of shaving her. She explained it would definitely give her a fresh start for the coat. However, Heather voiced that if it was done now (April) she worried the cat would get cold outside.  So suggested if it was done, either to wait until warmer months or until the cat maybe was more socialized and willing to live indoors afterwards. We also spoke about if eventually the cat was shaved that would also be a good time to bathe her, which type of soap to use, etc. We also spoke about if I did ever get her socialized to that point, how we could make any future appt less stressful for the cat. During the conversation Heather also spoke with me about not rushing things, given strays have a lot of trust issues. So Heather understood how fragile the budding bond is with this cat. (She mentioned her mother in law did feral cat rescue, so was familiar with how to work with these types of cats who generally are not used to human interactions.) If Heather was as different type of person and greedy - she would have just wanted me to bring the cat in for an appt immediately or tried to sell me a bunch of products.  But she really seemed to care about the cat's well being which I really appreciated.  There was zero attempt to sell me on anything which these days is very rare. Heather also declined my offer to pay her for the phone consultation, saying she was happy just to help. Again very rare! If you want someone who is a knowledgeable and experienced groomer, genuinely cares about the animal's well being, and is a wonderful human being to boot - you will be in good hands with Heather.
