I guess Micheal didn't appreciate my honest review of his business. I stand by what I said and his poor judgement to send me a private message with a video in response to my honest review shows vividly how morally low of a business ower he can be. I have no intention on viewing it. Would be curious to know what others think. My honest review of his business isn't just some one off, because if you look at his history of poor reviews it shows strangers who were customers there share the same sentiment about Michael and his poor treatment of customers as I do. Do better Micheal. Have integrity in your business tactics. read more

Pet SAV - Just a few of my kitties - Pet Stores Near Me - Orange, California

The negative comments are shocking and I have to assume they're a bunch of sensitive karens who need a red carpet rolled out and thrown sprinkles at while talking to them with your head down in worship lol. I have coming here for some time now. The owners are absolutely wonderful and have helped me resolve countless issues that many vets couldn't. You can ask them any questions and they will answer as many as you want to ask them. I ask a lot of questions and people can become impatient of me but not these folks. I have come to rely on them for advice on my pet needs. For example, one year, one of my dogs wouldn't eat and I tried everything! I came here and asked Mike what he thinks and he said (in my own words) sometimes, dogs have caloric overload and the food is too much. He suggested to give 1/4 of the usual serving and from there work it back up to regular serving. I asked countless people including vets and no one gave a solution and Mike's suggestion worked and I continue to use it to this day. They care immensely for the animals and foster dogs to help out. Pick up strays from the street and help find owner, etc., etc. Comparing the negative comments to my actual experience throughout the years, I have to go with the tangible. The comments don't fit their character. Sometimes people just complain for anything and everything! read more

Wow. I stumbled upon this shop randomly, and all I can say they will be seeing a lot of me!!! To start off, Mike is absolutely lovely, passionate, and knowledgeable. He is so easy to talk to, you can feel his passion and love for animas radiate off of him and his words. He gave me great advice and recommendations. The store feels so friendly! There is so many options for fresh, healthy food, as well as treats, toys, and essentials!! I was thoroughly helped, Mike advised me with portions for my cat's weight, and even did the math for me to see cost benefits! I even walked away with some samples of both food and treats! I can't wait to come back and bring my Kitty so he can meet Mike and pick out some food. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to feed their pets healthy foods!!!! Thanks Pet SAV! read more

Walked into this store as I needed to find one in the area, my boyfriend, dog, and I had a great experience and would recommend this to many people. We did end up buying raw but prior to me doing that he was nothing but nice to us. He was even going to send us home with a sample for us to try. He is very knowledgeable not just about what he sells but canines in general. I was very happy to find this place and think other people should try it or go in there with an open mind. Thank you Mike! read more

I will NEVER go back into this store. Thank God I know of another well ran shop to purchase the upscale higher end dog food brands. The owner is VERY arrogant, unapproachable and condescending. He speaks down to customers quickly rather than listening to them and feels his opinion only matters. I saw 2 customers leave within 15 minutes of being in the store. Either didn't make a purchase because he was so rude. I feed my dog the high end brands and feel very well educated on these foods over the years. I definitely don't shop at big box dog foods stores as I expect quality for my beloved dog so he lost my sale and I drove 5 miles to purchase what I needed elsewhere. So much for saving time and checking out this store on a busy day. How can this owner lack so much empathy toward concerned pet owners, talk at people instead of with them and be so unreceptive to questions or feedback. I don't know how he survives with the cost of the these upscale quality dog food brands if he's running people out. Best to him and I will be telling my invested friends of upscale higher dog food brands to stay sway from Pet SAV. read more

This store has such a charming vibe. They have so many healthy raw options for pets. If you are looking for raw food, this should be your go to shop. read more

Very nice store with a very nice owner. Mike took extra time to talk w me about all things dog related and helped me understand the value of feeding my dogs a raw diet. I have a dog sitting business and Pet SAV is my new fav place to pick up exactly what I need. Note: Check out the giant bully sticks! Great for big dogs and won't irritate their tummies. read more

I absolutely love this little shop. My boyfriend and I come here a few times a month because they have the best raw food and treats for our dog. I wish they had a punch card for the amount of times we come haha. We always have great conversation with the people who are working and I always look forward to visiting. If you're looking for a place that cares about your animals well being, pet sav is the place. read more

I personally did not care for the Owner or the products he was selling. I thought the Owner was arrogant and the few minutes I was inside his store, I felt he tried to make me feel like I wasn't a worthy pet owner. I will never step foot inside Pet Sav in Orange. read more

Pet Sav -- Exceptional Care for Pets and Peace of Mind for Owners Pet Sav is truly outstanding! From the moment I reached out, their professionalism and genuine love for animals stood out. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and comforting -- exactly what every pet owner hopes for. They took wonderful care of my pet, paying attention to every little detail -- feeding schedule, playtime, and even small quirks that only an attentive caregiver would notice. You can tell the staff truly love what they do and have a deep respect for animals. My pet came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout. I received updates, pictures, and even small check-ins just to let me know everything was going perfectly. That kind of thoughtfulness makes such a difference when you're away. The facility is spotless, organized, and welcoming. Everyone there is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional -- a rare combination that builds instant trust. If you're looking for a place that combines top-quality pet care with warmth, reliability, and compassion, Pet Sav is it. Five stars are not enough -- I'd give them ten if I could. Highly recommended for anyone who wants the very best for their pets. read more

This owner is a bully he uses tactics of pressure to push you into changing what you and you bet have already decided was a good plan. Then he keeps pushing g his ideals that he thinks are better than a veterinarian. 8 years of school and hands on experience and he isn't just offering things as a suggestion he is punching it as this is what you have to do. He is a little unhinged. read more

Went to book a self service dog wash and was beyond disappointed. First off the room in the back was sooooo stuffy and hot. There was no ventilation or AC - not sure if it was broken or turned off but it was uncomfortable. They do provide shampoos and towels but the towels are very rough and felt like sandpaper. Checking out was the biggest disappointment of all. They charged me $25 for what only took 10 minutes. A total rip off. Just go to Pet Supplies Plus for a clean and affordable dog wash. read more

so glad I randomly found the store when I dropped my stuff at the UPS next door. They have a great selection of healthy pet foods. The owner Mike is very knowledgeable about dogs and their needed nutrition. And I know for a fact that my dog (17yrs old) has gotten much healthier after switching to the raw food / freeze dried balanced diet. She had dermatitis, pancreatitis, enlarged spleen and liver issue shown on her blood panel. (Under care of some other family members, they've snuck human food and table scraps to her without my knowledge) But just being on a strict raw food/freeze dried balanced diet for a year, all the blood work returned to normal, and she is more lively and no more skin issues. Still running around at 17yrs old. (Goal is see if she can reach 21) If that doesnt convince you, I don't know what would. Feeding your dog the right food may seem "expensive" but I have to disagree, because vet bills cost more. And that is inevitable. Plus, not feeding them right is really animal cruelty. They will be sick and suffer from your ignorance or trying to cut cost. You've assumed responsibility of a living thing that cannot make a choice, do the right thing. I see that people complain about how the owners are rude. But I think they are just very passionate and want you do the right thing. Nothings wrong with that. Have an open mind. It's a great store. read more

Great store especially for adoptive parents of dogs or cats. High quality food, gear and a bathing spot. Mike and Laurita got my little foundling off to a great start! read more

I have been a faithful customer for two years. I listened to the owner and tried to do what he said regarding feeding my two dogs. My dogs hated cold raw food but loved dehydrated food. I went to buy another bag a few days ago and was told it was not good that I needed to buy raw and when I did my dogs refused to eat for four days. I returned the box of frozen food intending to go back and buy the dehydrated food my dogs love. I was humiliated by the owners treatment of me and shaming me. I was shocked as a long time customer how I was treated even in front of other customers. He felt free to be rude, belittling and shaming in front of other customers. I was traumatized by the whole incident and of course will never be returning. So sad to be treated this way. read more

The owners are amazing and can answer any and all questions you have. I got my new puppy a pig ear and my older dog a dental chew they love them !! Along with new raw food we are changing them too. read more

I had a question for the owner of this store. It was simply if there were any good food to buy instead of raw because we can't afford it. Instead of being kind and just answering my questions he was condescending, and unkind. He said things like "Not being able afford to feed a 7lb dog 5 months after you get her is a cross between absurd and pathetic. This is a first in 5 years." Because I mentioned we had to switch to kibble. I was honest with him about how he was being condescending and told him that treating clients and humans with kindness is important too. This was his response "I'm kind to animals, always. I can only take so much of the humans." This was a back and forth that continued. He has a passion for dogs and I completely understand that. I care about what goes into my dogs body too, which is why I had reached out. It's a shame he reacted this way. I will no longer be buying from him. read more

Mike and his crew are amazing and well educated on the health of your pet and a long healthy lifestyle. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a their pets to live longer and less problems. He is there to help you get through to a healthy pet. He does this also with the love for our gift of animals. Thank you Mike read more

If I could give a ZERO rating I definitely would.... I encourage everyone to read the other one star comments as well before I get started. My wife who is 35 weeks pregnant went in today to use the self washing station. On her way out to pay (while sweating and generally tired from washing the dogs), the store owner gave his same tired militant lecture to my wife about what to feed our dogs because one is overweight. He held her credit card and wouldn't let her leave until he was done belittling and demoralizing her about what we feed our dogs. He outright said we don't care about our dog and want her die. He even referenced my wife being pregnant by saying "you'd never feed your kid whatever you're giving your dog". She literally had to BEG to leave, while alone and pregnant in an empty store, while getting torn down by a huge man. Im writing this as a result of getting a phone call from my crying wife as she left the store.... This is bad enough, but what the owner didn't realize is that we spent a substantial amount of money on HIS recommended food for an extended period of time to help with our dogs weight. We followed the portion recommendations and never deviated from the meal plan. Our dog had digestive issues and NEVER lost weight... We are on a new food and the dog has since had more energy and lost a couple lbs. Moral of the story is, not only is this guy a total a-hole to his customers, he boarders on predatory behavior and didn't even give us good advice on how to manage our dogs weight. AVOID THIS PLACE AND THIS CRAZY PERSON AT ALL COSTS. read more

The owner is a complete and utter mean face. I went in to talk about supplements to my dogs diet. This is because I figured my dog was getting older I should maybe supplement his diet. Well the owner is someone to talk down to you every step of the way. I mean, I've never been so frustrated by a retail establishment in my life. Looking at the reviews, how slow his business is, and how nothing has a price. He is a shady business owner. I see complaints about him making excuses for the price and yet gets rude about it. During my time I kept telling him I didn't really appreciate how long his answer was when it was as simple as getting a dog a raw diet. His passion has turned into taking on the world to make sure we all know we could do better. Here's the thing, he may know a lot but he knows nothing with how to ease a customer into making a change. He just wants to ram it down and ingrain in into your mind that you are in fact horrible. What's sad was, I was excited about the wash station there. But BIG FAT NOPE. He is lucky I didn't have my camera rolling. I have over 200k followers online and wouldn't of had one issue exposing him. Maybe I will. I'll send a secrete shopper there soon to gather footage of this rude business owner. Have a great day! read more

His aggressive dog should not be at the door. Give space to your customers. A know it all yet his dog is not trained. He's criticizing my dog's leash. First off, he kept saying that he only sells food meant to have a dog live 30+ years. I was not aware his dogs are guinness world record holders. Please. His dogs have to live that long because he's alone since he's a prick. Nobody is going to want to live with him that long. I came here to find a brand I feed my dogs not be given a lecture of what the store owner wants me to feed them. Why carry the brand if you're going to discourage your customers from purchasing it? Sounds like a dumb idea. The brand I feed is on Susan Thixton's The List so I don't need the lecture. He has brands that have made dogs sick while the one I feed hasn't. Unless this place is going to give me $2000 per month (that's barley scratching the surface) to feed their choice of food to my ENTIRE pack of dogs and pride cats then he should shut it. It's either feed what I want or surrender them to the shelter so they can be fed Purina or Pedigree. The shelter is the better option for you, Pet Sav? How is that saving an already rescue pack and pride? The owner thinks I only have one pet when they were told no I do not have one pet. They think it's just that easy. It's time consuming and eats at my funds having to feed what they want. Never coming to this place again to have their owner shake their finder at me. A nut job. This store is the reason I will continue to go online for my purchases. This is why online is winning and stores like these continue to shut down! I was the only customer in there btw. No surprise there. read more

I came in here with my boyfriend to use the wash station to give our pets a bath. When we walked in, we were greeted by the owner who kindly led us to the back and showed us where everything was. There were plenty of shampoos, soaps, and conditioners to use for the pets, as well as a dryer to use afterwards. They do have towels, but they are a bit rough, so I would recommend bringing your own. This place has lots of pet supplies ranging from raw food to harnesses and leashes, with the one washing station in the back. After we went to check out, the owner was talking to us a bit about how he rescues dogs and uses some of the profit from the store to help animal shelters in the area. He even gave us a discount upon hearing we had rescued both of our pets from shelters. We also asked him about switching the pets over to a raw diet, and he was very kind and informative, and spoke from his personal experience. He was encouraging us to do further research and recommended a documentary we watch so we make a thoughtful and informed decision. You can tell he really cares about rescuing animals. Overall, we had a really great experience here and would definitely come back and purchase things/use the dog wash again! read more

I highly reccomend PetSav. The owner, Michael, is extremely knowledgeable regarding animal health and nutrition. The store is well stocked with high quality food and supplements. Michael helped us convert our two dogs to raw 2 years ago and it has been life changing results. He is also actively involved with local rescues. He has helped nurse numerous dogs and cats back to health, and then find new homes. He genuinely loves animals and has the knowledge to guide you through your pet care needs. Thank you Michael. read more

I was searching for a "K9 Sports Sack" for my pup and the company's website led me to Pet SAV, which carried some of its backpacks. Overall great pet store! Very friendly and personable owner. He was more than happy to help me with questions I had while shopping for a backpack size that would fit my pup. He even took the time out to text me some tips on how to best utilize my backpack for my puppydog's maximum comfort and safety. If the item you are looking for is sold here, come here and buy it and meet his cute dog! read more

As stated by others, the owner is terribly rude and disrespectful. I'm sure if you agree with everything he says he's fine, but he'll lecture you to no end if not. I felt like he could care less about my business. Fine. Never going back. read more

It was good I went there for my dog and they had mostly everything that I needed they didn't have everything but a lot of good toys and food

This is great business! Today we were visiting the shop Nextdoor and decided our puppy needed some treats. We asked for a specific brand of bully stick and when Mike told us he didn't carry it we walked away. Awhile later we came out of the hobby shop and and find this goody bag sitting on our car. Seriously amazing business! Goes to show that great business does exist. We will be back here to support this small business instead of going to larger chains for our dogs needs. Thank you to Pet SAV for showing amazing character! read more

Pet SAV - Bag of treats - Pet Stores Near Me - Orange, California

No no no, brought my bassethound and had to listen to the owner reprimand me because I didn't have the correct harnest for him. My dog got IVDD and had to get a 10k surgery. I spent over a year rehabilitating him so he can walk again, which I was successful in doing. My dog is my child, I'm aware there is a better harness out there and kept telling him but he would not stop. Oh, and the special custom harness he was referring to is thoousands of dollars and sometimes people can't afford that. Had to get a tone to get him to drop it and leave me alone. The dog wash bath was nice, but nothing special. I didn't enjoy that there wasn't an elevated surface we away from the tub the dry him, had to do it on floor. There was also no hot water after 2 minutes. But I was already started so that was unfortunate for my dog who was not happy and shivering the whole time. There is no face wash for dog like I've seen at other places, and no after bath perfume spray. It was very mediocre for the price you pay. I think I paid 11 dollars but it was "half off" because I came early. So 22 dollars is definitely not worth it. I usually go to another place but they were closed on mondays so went here. I pay 13 dollars regular pricing for the usual place I go and everything that this place doesn't have is included. Was hoping to enjoy this place and use it as an alternative, but I will definitely not be coming back. read more

This is a nice pet store that is also a non profit as they donate a portion of their profits to help spay & neutering. Very helpful staff. Good quality food & treats. I brought my small dog for the do it yourself dog wash. It's a great deal. $17 for your dog, if you have more than 1 dog, the other dogs are $10 ( not sure if the dog is larger if the price is a lil more). They supply everything you need to bathe your dog. I bought some Salmon treats & a non BPA pliable chew bone. Only downside is they don't open until noon, but I imagine since the owner does rescue, maybe he's very busy w/ dogs in the a.m. If your dog is not dog friendly or is wary of loose dogs, be aware there are dogs loose inside. The dogs were friendly. Here's a pic of my pooch in the tub after I bathed her. read more

Pet SAV - My small dog in the Do it yourself dog wash - Pet Stores Near Me - Orange, California

This guy there (gray haired ponytail douche, I mean dude) may know a lot about pets and pet food, but he knows zero about customer service and being a decent person.  He presents his info in such a condescending and off putting way.  I went in there this afternoon with my son to kill some time and maybe get a new toy or treat for our cat.  I saw these funky little feeding mats and asked him about them.  He immediately asked me what I feed our cat.  I told him Royal Canin and he started lecturing me on how bad it is and that it should be common sense to me to know this.  I told him that wasn't what I came in for (meaning the lecture).  He kept on going.  I said it again and he then told me that I knew where the exit was if I didn't want to hear it.  I said "bye!" and we walked out.  Dude was lucky my kid was with me or I would've had some choice words for him. read more

Pet Sav is one of those places I find myself rooting for. The owner is super passionate about dog care from dog nutrition to all dog well being. His 5 dogs are so calm and relaxed every time I go there with my dog to get her washed. She would normally go nuts with that many dogs she didn't know, but she is so calm when she goes into the store. In fact, she just loves to see the owner (she normally does not like men). I love washing my dog at the self serve station. It makes washing her super easy. I also love to pick up frozen probiotic treats for her there too or a new toy. read more

This store has wonderful and very knowledgeable staff.. Very great service and excellent products. Love this store!

What smart business owner would verbally attack a loyal customer, saying "you are a headache; I don't want to deal with your obsessive compulsiveness!"? I have spent over $1500 here in the last 4 months, mostly on Small Batch food. For the first time, I went back with a product that was not the same, inferior to the same product I had bought many times there before. The owner (Mike) insisted that it was fine, and was not interested in hearing what I was trying to say. He said, angrily, "I will exchange it this one time, but never again!" I left the store with the product, and contacted Customer Service for Small Batch. They quickly replied to my email and validated my concern with the product, and explained why it was different, and not up to par with the quality they like to provide to their customers. The product I tried to return was from a different plant (their sister site), that does not usually ship to our region. I went back to the store to see if he had a box of the product that was from the usual plant (where all of my previous purchased product had come from), and he verbally jumped all over me. He told me that he did not want my business, and that he uses his profits to save animals. Unfortunately, he will have about $400 less per month toward his profits from me. I had always been friendly when I went in there. Unfortunately, he doesn't put prices on any of his merchandise, so I always had to ask the price of anything new that I wanted to try. Most people want to know what something costs before they buy it. Once I went in and he was busy polishing his shoes, not even wanting to be interrupted to see if I needed any help or had any questions. Another time, I was looking for something in a freezer, not finding what I was looking for, and looked at him to get his attention, and he said to me, "you can get it yourself." So he does not believe in the saying that "the customer is always right," and he really does not know how to treat a customer who has given him a lot of business. read more
