Super Bowl Sunday, February 8th, 2026:…read more After taking both dogs on a hike, both got grimy and grubby...especially the Maltipoo. We always choose Pet Food Express to give them a shower and this was the closest one. Located in a strip mall in Mill Valley and approximately less than a mile from 101, it was definitely convenient as it was the closest to Mt. Tam. Upon entering, there were two, young female workers by the cash register, and we didn't even get a greeting. In fact, the look on their faces was of disgust...as if we were bothering them or as if we disturbed them. No matter, we asked for a coin and informed them of our intent of a pet wash. The service was cold and disinterested. I can see it from both their body language, their eyes and most obvious of all, their facial expressions. I read these things - years and years of training comes naturally. I'm I n constant awareness and reading people. I get it, maybe they had a long day and it was close to ending their shift and they have to prep and clean the pet wash area before closing time. But it was only approximately 16:15 hours (4:15 PM) and their closing time is at 18:00 hours (6:00 PM) on a Sunday. Anyways, their negative energy lingered as we were washing our dogs while one of the workers cleaned the unused pet washing stations. The way she was cleaning was also off. It's like a kid upset that her parents told her to clean her bedroom kind of vibe. What was also bugging me was the condition of the aprons. They stunk like old mildew. I don't know when was the last time they were washed, but they needed to be soaked and rinsed in gallons of detergent to remove the funky smell. When we were done, we didn't even get a thank you or any type of acknowledgment unlike all the other Pet Food Express that we've been to. Just the same treatment when we all walked in. At least they were consistent. Guess we won't be using this pet wash station anymore.

Five-Star Review for Mary at Woodlands Pet Food and Treats!…read more If angels walked among us disguised as humans wielding dog shampoo, their name would be Mary. I take my diva of a Basset Hound -- Boopki, aka Slinky Dog, aka the Queen of Sass -- to Woodlands Pet Food and Treats, and Mary always treats her like canine royalty. Boopki is not what you'd call "low maintenance." She's 50% ears, 100% attitude, and her idea of a bath is lying dramatically in protest while sighing like she's in a Victorian novel. But Mary? Mary is the Basset Whisperer. She somehow manages to charm Boopki into the tub with the grace of a seasoned diplomat and the tenderness of a gourmet chicken treat. Every time Boopki leaves, she's not just clean -- she's glowing. She smells like a lavender field blessed by unicorns and looks like she just stepped off a doggy runway in Milan. And Mary always sends her home with a wagging tail, a soft coat, and zero drama (well, Boopki still tries to milk it for sympathy, but that's showbiz, baby). Woodlands is lucky to have Mary. And so are we. Boopki gives her four paws up -- and that's saying a lot from a hound who usually reserves that enthusiasm for bacon

OVERALL: Sweet family-owned pet shop with lots of unique and natural products…read more PRODUCTS: Lots of food items, some toys, gear, and grooming products. They have a ton of bulk natural treats; that's really what I came for, so I was happy to see that. I was able to get some things that I had not seen at other pet stores before (yak cheese puff bar, antlers). They also carry some cute bandanas and bows from local companies in SF and from small businesses located in Sausalito. Love that they carry local products. SPACE: Good sized pet store with products for dogs and cats. The front has a cute dog house and patch of pet grass. SERVICE: The cashier working was very nice and explained some of the natural treats that we had questions on. He also gave my dog a couple of small treats from the counter, which was really sweet. One of them she really liked and I plan on buying her next time.

Peanut and Pudge is locally sourced and manufactured in Fairfax, CA by a dog owner/lover so you know what you're getting in each treat. I try my best to avoid buying any treats made overseas as they're unhealthy and not regulated in Asia. Especially, when you see the back of the package with a long list of questionable ingredients...whereas, P&P has no more than 7 ingredients used like oat flour, rice flour, honey, banana, vanilla...thumbs up to that! I met with the owner this morning and she was super friendly, welcoming and shared her products and answered any questions...no (human) sampling at this booth though she said her treats are all fresh and natural her "kids eat the Banana Bites like muffins". :) Coming all the way from Marin I do hope to see her booth at the Farmers Market again! Definitely a nice change from the usual and glad to support small business!

We've had our two dogs (both Dalmatians) in the care of the team at MT Tam Dog Company for several…read moreyears now and we're really happy with their service. Erin and Dave - the two founders of this business - are very approachable and super responsive, which is something that I really appreciate. At first, we only had one dog (Momo) and before they accepted her into the pack, Dave came by our house to "interview" her. I really enjoyed meeting him and listening to the philosophy behind the business. Later, when we got a puppy (Málaga), he came over again and checked her "compatibility" as well. What I really enjoy is getting email notifications when they come to pick up the dogs as well as when they drop them off. Sometimes they even leave little notes, such as this one: "Momo and Malaga did super today! Malaga didn't pull hardly at all, and Momo was very easy as always. We had a fun hike :)" Just recently, they also introduced dog boarding and we had a very good experience with that as well. Eddie - who also walks our dogs throughout the week - stayed at our house, while we enjoyed a few days of "kids free" time! He kept us informed with pictures every day - we loved it.

Unmanaged dogs, irresponsible owner…read more In September, I was bitten by a large dog that was being walked by one of the dog walkers from this company. I went to see a doctor to make sure that the puncture wounds and bleeding weren't going to be a problem. At the time I was bitten the owner the company let me know he would be happy to help. A couple of months later, the bill for under $200 arrived and I asked David L to pay it as agreed; but he was singing a very different tune. The owner then decided not to pay the bill, called it a 'scratch', and insisted that it was my fault. Use this company at your own risk.

We had a one and done very bad experience here. I would not recommend this shop to anyone…read more I had reached out to the owner to ask about grooming for our pup, I let her know our dog is a senior and requires gentle care, and was clear on what we wanted haircut wise. She said all of that was totally fine and she'd have her best groomer on it, and we booked an appointment. When I took our pup in, I didn't get to speak with the groomer, but the girl at the front desk assured me they had the notes and pics I had forwarded. I felt uneasy as the other "groomers" in the shop were all talking loud, listening to loud music, and dressed in really baggy clothes ( not smart when you're cutting dog's hair). I'm upset that the vibe didn't turn me away, I should've listened to my intuition as this place did not seem good at all. When I went to pick up our pup, her cut was AWFUL. Totally choppy, uneven, and she looked half bathed. I emailed the owner and she confirmed the groomer had been busy, so they had someone else do Twinkle's cut. This other person was new, and totally ruined Twinkle's cut, as well as mishandled her. My stomach was upside down. The owner offered me a 10% discount off the cut, and said she would give us 50% off the next cut. She promised me that it would not go poorly again. First of all, NOTHING WENT AS SHE SAID IT WOULD, and the best "customer service" she offered was 10% off the totally botched job??!! Second, why on earth would we ever trust them and subject our sweet girl to this chaos and lack of skill A SECOND TIME!!?? I said how about give us at least the 50% off this time- but really she should have refunded us fully and either properly trained that incompetent groomer or fired him. Overall, the service was terrible, and the owner was more interested in keeping her $100 than righting the wrong that was done by her and her staff. I strongly advise against taking your precious pets to this shop, from owner, to front desk to groomer, it's all bad.
