    Walking by, we were concentrating on finding a grassy are for our dog when a lovely lady ran out and handed us a flyer and coupon along with a bandana. She told us about their grand opening next weekend and that we can come in and check it out and shop now. After walking the dog and having lunch down the street, we came in. It was a lovely store with really nice folks who were just as nice to our dog. Got couple of things for our fur baby and will definitely be back soon. I love supporting local shops when they have the right attitude and love what they do. Will probably go back for the grand opening.

    Yelping to try Decker's.

    Our girl is an in-between sizes as a result it's difficult to find things that fit her properly. This is especially a concern when it comes to harness. A neighbor has a particular one from Italy for her pup. I looked up the brand. As I mentioned she's hard to size. I didn't want to waste time or money taking a chance. While on the site, I noticed Deckers sold them. This meant a good 30 minute drive to go see the items in "paw"son. We load the car with the pup and go. Upon arriving into the store, we are greeted by the owner. He's kind and assists us with finding the exact model I was looking to try. Seems this model has an odd stitching that would consistently rub on the pup's side. They have a wide selection neatly displayed. We keep looking. This allows the friendly gentleman to assist others while we shop. I'm able to overhear his kindness to each person who walks through the door. We weren't there too long to find the perfect harness to purchase and wear out the door. Before leaving, Luna is offered a treat. That's when I noticed they had a "chill" pup who was as quiet as a fixture. Cool dog = cool owner. If you are looking for items for your fur baby, this is the place to go! Luna loves it. You will too!

    In my new button up!

    This is the best best store I've EVER been in. Owned by a couple that knows what they are talking about, they have endless knowledge and they take the time to answer all of your questions. Bruno was lucky enough to get some new treats and this sweet new button up. Thank you again!

    The owner, Cody, was there and helped me pick out the right harness and size and adjusted it to fit my dog.

My mom & I were walking by & decided to come in so that I can buy few thigs for my new puppy. (I don't have him yet, but have been preparing like a crazy person) Gentleman, who I assume is the owner, was very helpful & informative. It has been over 15 years since I had a puppy at home, so I asked him many questions, some of which were probably stupid. He was very patient & knowledgeable. He gave me many useful recommendations. He was also very understanding when I was talking about my Shih Tzu Bailey, that we lost at the first part of 2022. The store was nicely stocked. Everything was easy to find. They carry very nice & healthy brands. Yes, I could probably buy things a bit cheaper at Petco or Petsmart, however I would have never received this type of personal service & I wouldn't find some of these nice local brands there. I like to support small local businesses when I can. I bought several types of human grade training treats & a variety pack of some chewy things. My mom bought a sweater for her future grand puppy. I told her that she would be a better grandma if she knitted one, but I got a dirty look :) A puppy class was about to start, so we got to watch all the furry participants go in, which was so fun. I will definitely return.

Deckers is the way to go for a pet store in La Jolla. There they are pet oriented, friendly, cheerful and have an abundant display, variety and quality of merchandise. For owning and running a pet store, this man ( owner ) has a lot to be desired. I am suprised the store is still there!

    BETTER OF THE PETSMARTS (4 stars)…read more Specially this location for Santa Photos for our pets... you can tell they put effort (unlike other PetSmarts). I've been to a handful of PetSmarts in San Diego area and I feel this location was the best thus far (obviously, La Jolla). Not going to lie, I'm more of a Petco shopper but when it comes to Santa Photos (Petco stopped doing them and they do have a better backdrop) - we resort to coming to PetSmart. The past couple years, I haven't been too ecstatic about Santa photos, even trying different locations. Why not try PetSmart in La Jolla?! 1) way better Santa and backdrop than all the other PetSmarts I've been too (there was thought into it) 2) they have little PetSmarts Xmas merch they gave away - little bandana and some treats while you wait in line (other PetSmarts gave absolutely nothing) 3) they placed the Santa photo area in a corner that was suitable that was special and clean and away from the traffic of customers (unlike other PetSmarts it's in the back of an isle) 4) weren't rushing you to get it over with. They were patient as dogs are scared of Santa and run away. Instead of crying screaming babies, it's whimpering dogs trying to run away from Santa. Big Santa was super nice and chill. Will mosdef be back to this location next year!

I then got a call 45 min later that he had to stop the service because my dog was biting. fair enough, i understand that, and i came to pick him up. he told me that if he had more time he could've probably worked with my dog better but he didn't have the time. i don't blame this groomer at all, PetSmart needs to have better scheduling.

Everyone was so nice and understanding of my dog's needs. He's a very large, dog selective old man and Woofpak didn't even bat an eye when I explained his mannerisms and behavior concerns. The staff is well equipped to handle any size dog and accommodate their needs and comfort level to the best of their abilities and really treat your pet as if they were their own. My dog was a stinky boy and desperately needed a groom, and a little over an hour later, he came back to me bright eyed, bushy tailed, smelling and feeling amazing! The staff showed us some amazing progress photos during his groom and gave us a report of how he did. Lucky for us he was an angel for them and they loved working with him. The shop itself is also wonderful. So many options for fresh food, treats and chews available. If you need a special occasion cookie they have those in their bakery case. A self serve and fill treat bar is also in the back of the store and has some amazing treats to pick out for you pup as well. We filled a medium jar of mix and match treats for my dog and he was so eager to start snacking on them asap. 10/10 recommend coming here for all your pet needs!

Store associate was so helpful and kind, she offer us samples of all items before purchase and that made it easier to decide what to buy! We ended getting the bundle (Camel milk, beef slider and chicken fries) and the chicken and rice meal to go for the other doggies cousins too. Woofpack has the paw approval of all 3 of our dogs. If you are walking by and are curious, don't hesitate check it out! And if you're fur baby is with you, ask about the samples, so you know what flavors to chose from before buying.

So I started giving all my business to Petco on Garnet. There are a couple of totally awesome people there that really know their stuff and I will always think of them fondly, however things change. My kitty developed problems that Petco couldn't help with and I was forced to give Noah's another try. Things have indeed changed. Alex (and her husband) are the awesome owners of Noah's now, and if you have any problems Alex has solutions or will research them deeply on your behalf. Raw/fresh food diet, limited ingredient diet, supplements and treats... they have all the good stuff. Shasta has also helped me greatly with products to alleviate discomfort of my sweet little kitty-baby and aid in her nourishment and need for variety. I sing their praises now to everyone and am so grateful to have such a caring and supportive team of animal-loving individuals so close to where I live. They have helped me as much as, if not more than, my sweet girl's doctors. I kid you not. Noah's is awesome.

I would recommend Noah's to any pet parent who wants nothing but the best for their fur baby!

The place is fairly small and they don't have a lot of variety of food or treats. It seemed like they were advertising more of their own food they make here. Honestly, I'm not so sure how fresh their food is compared to other brands. But I do believe the food and treats they do sell have limited ingredients than other big market dog food. We opted in for Koha, which I have not heard of this brand before, but we were attracted to it because of limited ingredients. Unfortunately, my dog wasn't a huge fan of this brand, but maybe other dogs might. I do think that most of the brands they had, I did not recognize so you might have to do your own research. Overall, this place very boutique, and unsure if we would come back.
