The town of Ventura is a very happy place. Except for this spot. No hello. No 'how can I help you'. Just grumpy people. Maybe the prices are good. Maybe the selection is good. But the attitude is not good enough for me to shop there. read more

I just passed by I think two or three week ago now. I WAS SO Pleasantly SURPRISED AT THE INCREASE OF RAW FROZEN PRODUCTS THEY NOW CARRY!!!! I definitely will be coming more often. I can't wait to try some of the frozen animal necks as I have slowly been introducing meaty raw bones/cartilage for my dog! Also THE RAW BAR!!! I'm super glad to see Vital Essentials in here and be getting a variety of treats to sort through for my dog. KEEP UP ALL THE HARD WORK read more

I use their self wash option often for my pup, Twinkle. You can book a 30 min or 1 hour time slot for the self wash tub, we usually do 30 mins. They provide the tub, towels, and have a variety of shampoo and conditioners to choose from. There is also a dryer but I don't use dryers on Twinkle so I can't comment on how that works. It's near home and a great option, and they have a rewards system that gives you a free wash after every 11 or 12 washes I think it is. I do wish they did a better job of cleaning the tub in between clients, as sometimes when we go in, the trash is full of dog hair or worse, there's some leftover hair already in the tub. I always give the tub a spray down before I put Twinkle in it. Overall happy with this place and will continue to bathe Twinkle here. read more

I have been a customer here for over a year. I have purchased items for both of my dogs and some items for friends dogs as well. Today was my last visit. I bought a ball which is a treat dispensing ball and within two minutes my dog ate a portion of the ball. (Yes, he swallowed it.) Not the stores fault by the way. I ended up with a very sick dog (also not the stores fault). I personally think this ball should be removed from store shelves. It is dangerous and I have vet bills to prove this. I decided to return the ball, and guess what? The generally rude small guy who works their wouldn't refund. It was under 10 dollars! A customer is generally worth thousands over a lifetime and you lost one over a 10 dollar ball. I was going to make a purchase as well but decided to go to the Wharf where they are friendly and treat customers with respect. read more

Ventura Pet Barn has THE cutest selection of Pet ID Tags. I chose the dual hearts, pink on pink on stainless, from Red Dingo. http://www.reddingo.com/products/tags/01-HP-PU/ The young female employee had me fill out the form. She said it would be mailed to my home. Then I heard a cell phone alarm. She left without a word and responded to the cell phone alarm. Next thing I know, she has her bag and is heading out the door. Her male coworker, wearing a Ventura College t-shirt, said something to her...I don't recall what. She said "Yeah.., Bye." ____________________________________________________________ She left 3 customers. She left me mid transaction without acknowledgment. I was rung up by the guy. It was awkward as the 3 of us customers, unspokenly communicated how rude that was. ____________________________________________________________ I rarely give 2 stars...... but the truth is ....."I've experienced better." fits the bill. P.S. Years ago, we adopted our dog from the Canine Adoption League housed here. We remain happy with that experience. My review is for the retail store not ...... www.carlvc.org read more

I have been coming here since 2011, and can't say enough good things about this wonderful place. They have all the products that I and my dog loves, from healthy food to fun toys and everything in between. I really trust the owner picking out only good things for our pets. I know they care. You can tell by the way they love their own animals, and how sweet they are with mine. I also feel appreciated by their rewards program. I honestly feel so happy they exist. When covid started they made adjustments with roadside pick up and free deliveries. Pet Barn is awesome and I so appreciate them being there whenever we have needed them! Thank you! read more

My favorite pet shop. Great assortment of products. Prices are very reasonable. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

Great spot to shop for specialty brand off goods and do the self washing services they offer. The people are nice and there is plenty of parking. Not five stars just because the dryer in the self service blows cold which my doggies hate and because they don't have any tools to borrow for combing out the dogs, when I ask about them they said they used to but people would steal them. Bummer!!! Would for sure go back and just bring my own tools. read more

Recently took my Yorkie in for a quick bath. Paid $12 which I thought was reasonable. All was great, except there was a ShopVac hose pinned to the wall that blew cold air n played off as a dryer. The vacuumed seemed out of touch with the four-legged customers whom I'm sure would much prefer to wrap up their pampering or wash-n-go sesh with warm/hot air not cold air. Seemed almost cruel to offer. read more

It's a cute location. I did prefer their last store. I don't really go here except for once in a blue moon. They are fairly pricey and don't usually have what I'm looking for. read more

Such a great staff, great store! Great to support and be supported by a small local business who cares about people and their pets

I stopped here based on a recommendation from a friend and was glad I did. It's a smallish store near the Pacific View Mall (not in the mall) and has a nice assortment of quality dog and cat foods, dog toys, and a small variety of supplies and food for birds and small animal pets. The employee in the store was friendly and helpful with me and with each other customer that came in. He had great suggestions and was knowledgeable about their products. I bought a chicken food toy (seriously, a food toy specifically designed for chickens!) and some soft training treats for dogs. They have a lot of cool collars and bandanas at the front too, including some very attractive designs and some with a lot of nice bling! read more

This pet store is located in Ventura near the Pacific View Mall. Lots of parking on Main Street and there is a back parking as well. The aisles were a little compact but the back area where you pay is very spacious. The store seems very well stocked. I myself prefer small businesses rather than large corporations. This Pet store does not have animals for sale, however every 3rd Sunday of the month they have bunny adoptions ! That's right bunnies ! I took my daughter and she had a blast! The staff were very welcoming and they even let us in to pet the bunnies. I will definitely be returning ! read more

I am a longtime Ventura resident and recently our family adopted two new puppies. I always wanted to have a reason to shop at this business so was excited that I now was ready to go shopping for the new pups. Unfortunately when I visited this store the person who helped me was near-rude, made me ask all the questions and never offered any suggestions. She seemed more interested in getting back to doing her inventory duties instead of helping me. At the very beginning I told here I was ready to buy everything for our pups; harnesses, beds, food...and much more. Based on my negative experience I went to other local businesses and spent lots of money at those stores. Too bad this happened as this pet store is the nearest one to our home - I even gave it a second chance but had the same negative experience. read more

I like the selection of dog toys and treats. The prices are high, but I try to shop locally, so I just buy less than I would normally. Sadly, I've been to this store three times, and the staff here are so rude. The staff that I've encountered seem really miserable and unpleasant, and this is bad for a pet store that should be a happy and fun place for pets and pet parents. I hope that spirits there improve since my dog loves to go there, while I now dread going back. read more

I was recommended to Pet Barn for a few specific pet food brands they carried that the big chains do not have. They carry better quality brands and food that is healthier then any pet food you'll find at the corporate chains. I was surprised the well known pet stores did not carry these brands and after comparing the ingredients, and some gas spent puttering around town, this is now my one stop place for all of my dog's needs. I even saw the toothpaste I bought earlier that day for two dollars cheaper- corporate chains doesn't always mean better deals, and we can all afford to save a buck or two now and then! They also do pet adoptions on the weekends (call for the specific day, I can't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday) What is also great if you're limited on space at home, maybe don't have a full bathroom, or are strapped for cash to go to a groomer, they offer a self serve pet wash. Go check them out if you have any pets! Help support great independent businesses, and not let be shut down by the corporate giants who skip out on quality for quantity! read more

VENTURA Pet Barn is my source for top quality chow for my rescue pups, (now ages 9, 12, 19 1/2 and HEALTHY, with thick coats), dog shampoo, dog car bed & restraint systems. IF I have a question the workers are very knowledgeable about products & the quality of ingredients. They have discontinued brands who have substituted inferior ingredients. MOSTLY when I go in there is only one worker so I try to busy myself getting my things and wait for a good moment. The REWARDS CARD is fabulous! Each purchase of the same size package of same chow counts. When it gets full you get a free one (or a big discount - I can't remember!). CURRENTLY I've been taking advantage of evening dog training classes at Pet Barn. It's very convenient and my dogs love the stimulation of learning new things. PET BARN's work in the community with C A R L and Greyhound Rescue are just a couple of indications of where the heart of Pet Barn lives. PS: Before holidays they have great pet COSTUMES! I'll post a pic of my 3. read more

I completely disagree with the negative reviews posted about the Pet Barn. I've been purchasing our dog food and pet needs from this store for over 15 years. The owner Tina, is one of the most knowledgeable pet store owners in Ventura. If you have a question she'll do her best to get you the right answer without relying on a lot of BS. If you don't like something you've bought, she'll take it back without any questions. The dog food she carries is not always the cheapest you can find like in the chain pet stores. However, you can rest assured your pet is not going to be poisoned by some Chinese by-product an unscrupulous pet food manufacturer decided to include to boost profits to their share holders. Tina and her employees care way too much about her customers and their pets to ever let that happen. Plus the Pet Barn one of the only places in town where you can give your dog a bath without too much hassle or costs. Finally I would like to say kudos to the Pet Barn for allowing CARL to share their back half of the store for dog adoptions. Again, this showing how much the Pet Barn cares about our four legged friends. Thank you Pet Barn and keep up the good work. Your community thanks you. read more

My Husband and I walked in here today to check out the pet adoptions, I was shocked at how unfriendly the employees were. Not one person asked if we needed anything and another employee almost ran me over trying to move past me. I immediately turned to my Husband when we left and said, "Ooh, I can't wait to Yelp about this place!" We will not be going to VPB for any of our pet needs. Barn is right... read more

I had a lot of fun here. They have a multitude of different toys for dogs and cats. Lots of specialty items and many different special foods. Make sure the expiration date is correct. My favorite thing here that I purchased was their clicker training for cats. I am really excited to try and teach my kitten clicker training and the girl behind the counter assured me that it has worked for her cat. So far I've really liked what I've read in the book I got there. read more

Pet Barn is the best if youre looking for high quality pet food. Its the only place i buy mine. The toys are great as well, they last WAY longer than any cheapy toy from big chain stores. The puppy training classes were amazing and essential for me and at such a great price. Its so important to socialize your pup, especially one as timid as mine was. The classes broke him out of his shell and i still use the same tactics today when i want to teach him something new. Most recently i got his teeth cleaned for the first time here. NO anesthesia required and they looked beautiful afterward!! SOO much cheaper and of course safer than going under at the vets. Ask the staff when they have the next available appointments because it isnt available allll of the time. They only advertise it during the specific dates that the professional teeth cleaning company will be in their store. (Not performed by pet barn employees) They were very gentle, he was a very happy boy afterward. If my pup could rate this place he would also give it 5 stars. So thats 10 total... read more

I love their self wash for my cats, its well stocked and well set up. Their prices for self wash are really decent but as far as everything else, its a bit out of my range. But I definitely recommend here if you self wash your pets. Cheaper than anywhere else in town. read more

Self dog wash was satisfactory. Clean enough. Great price $18 for 2 dogs for an hour.

Its a pet store! How can I not like it? I can bring in my baby who selects treats he likes! As well on Sundays C.A.R.L Adoption center is taking place there,so always new friends! read more

Every time I walk into this store, I am floored by the selection. The only place I've found that beats Pet Barn is all the way up in Lake Tahoe. They've got all sorts of human training devices, including three different no-pull harnesses in every size. They're got them all out of the packages and waiting for you to try on your dog, too! This is the only place I've found the Freedom Harness, and their price on it beats anything I've found online. They've also got an amazing selection of high-quality toys of every sort. Once again, I find stuff here that I've never seen in any other shop. Add to that a fabulous selection of chews, high quality dog and cat foods, fancy and practical collars, ridiculously fun bird toys...it never ends! I am particularly impressed with their selection of frozen raw dog food. Their remarkably low prices made it possible for me to feed my dog raw for years. I've been a customer since before they moved to their current location, and I am thrilled with how they have expanded their selection in the larger space. I've since moved out of the area, but I like to drop in when I'm passing through. read more

Friendly, knowledgable staff. Good selection of high-quality dog food. We have bought an outdoor doggy bed and a treat-release toy here that our old dog just loves. They have good natural chews too. Lots of other supplies for other species, but we are dog people, so that's all I can speak to. :) read more
