We love Dexter's Deli!! They have great healthy products for your pet! The employees are always very helpful and kind!

These guys are the best, my dog loves their peanut butter coconut biscuits. Every time I go in they staff are so friendly

Last night was the second time my husband and I came in after having dinner at hooked on sushi. I unfortunately forgot to ask the woman working the front desk's name but she has shoulder length blonde hair, is SUPER kind and friendly and always compliments my perfume We're in the process of trying to find a kibble and some treats for our chug (half pug half chihuahua) that won't irritate her skin and cause a flare up of itchiness in her skin. We recently started putting salmon oil on top of her kibble and the woman working the front desk was SO helpful as always and we were soo appreciative and love supporting local shops. Needless to say, last night when we got home our Winnie girl absolutely LOVED her new kibble and all the new treats we got her. We will definitely keep coming back. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for more natural/healthier sources of food for their fur babies, you won't be disappointed! They also have the cutest toys and little outfits, and also my favorite...they offer little doggy birthday cakes and cupcakes. So come September we will definitely be coming in to get our little win the birthday cake she deserves along with an adorable (embarrassing for her) birthday crown I can't wait! Thank you guys for providing such amazing customer service and top of the line product! read more

Absolutely love Dexter's Deli! They always stock the best products and customer service is amazing. I don't live anywhere near their stores but whenever I'm in town I stop by to check out what's new and buy a few bags of their turkey jerky since it's my dogs' favorite treat. read more

I just started going here as we moved near their Carlsbad location. I asked one of the staff for their recommendation on a toy that my doberman could chew and not destroy. She went to the back and brought back a toy made from fire hose material and said this was super tough and perfect for him. I was stoked to get it home and try out out. I threw it for him once - he brought it right back and his teeth had already pierced it. I took the toy back with the receipt and asked if I could get a refund or exchange it. The guy behind the counter was super short and said "we don't do refunds on toys" - well that's the last time I shop at this place. $30 wasted. I left the ruined toy on the counter and asked him to throw it out. I recommend Carlsbad Pet & Feed - they're off poinsettia. Much nicer staff and they actually understand customer service. read more

This place is so cute and they have the best toys, teats and cakes for dogs! One of the workers offered to write on the cake for me. It was my dogs 7th birthday. I wasn't too sure if she would like the cake, but she absolutely loved it! read more

Wow. Just wow. Walked in to treat my girl after a walk around Carlsbad village and was greeted very warmly. My doggie is a rescue and can be shy. Unbeknownst to me they have a rescue package of goodies. They asked me what she liked etc. Both the ladies that helped me were so kind and patient with my puppy and I. Such a positive experience. I have never written a Yelp review and wanted to make sure others knew how awesome they are. read more

Shopping at Dexter's Deli is always a delight. They carry excellent products for dogs as judged by our sweet Cavapoo. It is one stop shopping as they carry dog food, mixers, and treats along with numerous other products. Their selection of toys has won our dog's heart. The shop is also very clean with items well displayed. Perhaps the very best aspect of Dexter's is the people who work there. I feel as if I am visiting with friends and not just completing a transaction. Kim and Jamie always make me feel very welcome and they can be relied on to make excellent suggestions. They go out of their way to find something you may be looking for. I happily recommend Dexter's Deli to anyone looking for a very positive shopping experience. Thank you for makings dogs and dog owners very happy! read more

We love dexters so much!! Always the best selection of products, good deals, and even better staff! I believe her name is Tina (she was working today 2/11 at 1:15pm) and the gentleman Ray have both helped us numerous times. They're always so welcoming and make great conversation with us. Today we took our fur baby in to meet the staff and they gave him a nice little treat. Thank you Dexters! read more

Yummy treats for my beautiful dog child! My go to for cakes & cupcakes my dog enjoys it and always wants more.

I went to Dexter's Deli yesterday for the first time to get some advise on my new puppy. I had no idea I was eligible for a "Puppy Adoption Bundle". It came with full size food samples and choices for supplements. I left with a bag full of goodies to get started. They were so nice and helpful... and knowledgeable!! They're my new go to for everything!! read more

Every single time I come in im surprised by the hospitality and knowledge of the employees! I first came in to buy my Chihuahua a dog cake for her birthday. She loved it and the cupcakes and frozen froyo were big hits as well. I just went in today and I asked one of the employees if she can recommend a dog food brand. Not only did she give me info and a flyer on caring for senior dogs but she made great recommendations and gave me take home samples to try out. I cant recommend this place enough. read more

They are so knowledgeable on all their products which you can't find anywhere else, all of which are health food products for your favorite pooch.

This is my go to for many years to get my dog his food and treats! Both this and the Del Mar locations are friendly. They always throw out different ideas to get my picky eater to try new things. Don't forget to check in on yelp for periodic discount in addition to their loyalty program! read more

This should be your primary spot for any pet needs, everyone here is extremely helpful, kind and genuinely cares about your pet whether they've met them or not. They aren't about profit, they just care for your animals Kim helped us out on our last visit and she was beyond amazing! She gave us flyers about topics relevant to the rescue my partner and I just adopted, connections for pet training and so much more it's too much to list. We are super grateful for her and everyone else for all the advice, insight and support. This is THE pet store. read more

Would highly recommend Dester's Deli. They carry high quality dog food that I haven't seen in many pet stores. They are all very knowledgeable when it comes to picking the right pet food for your dog especially Kelly. She went above and beyond in helping us choose the right food for our yorkie Milo. He's having some health issues and she couldn't have been more compassionate. read more

Always a great time here Knowledgeable, kind, caring staff Always finds me what I need for my babies read more

Very cute spot to pick up some healthy treats or a birthday cake for your pup! Staff is friendly and helpful.

Thank you for all your help input and advice ‍ and are very happy with the food and treats.

Jamie is always very friendly and knows a lot about the products. Highly recommend this store!

We weren't here long at all, but oh my cuteness!!! We stood looking at cakes for a couple minutes deciding on which one we wanted for our pup. They even have frozen yogurts, cupcakes, and different sized cakes. While we were looking, one of the sweet workers said they were also human grade, and we can have some too, which I think is cool. Lol I did walk around the store quickly, and they seem to have a lot and different dog foods. Both workers there were very sweet! I'm excited to give my puppy his cake. read more

The Carlsbad location was amazing. Their staff member, Jamie, took the time to help me discover the right items that was best for my newly adopted puppy. Not only did I buy a Red Barn Beef Cheek to satisfy his love for chewing, but a puppy box of goodies! Highly recommend Dexter's Deli! read more

Excellent service. Excellent range of high-quality dog food. I came here because my dog was on hydrolyzed protein and needed a novel protein. I am able to pick up quail and she's doing great on it. They have it now on automatic order for me to pick up once a week. If your dog is healthy and has a normal diet you're going to find a lot of amazing treats. The only recommendation I can have is don't do what I did which was thinking when my dog was young I wanted to give her everything and keep it interesting. The problem was when she had dietary problems, it was hard to find something that didn't bother her. But that has nothing to do with this place. Just saying they have so many interesting and enticing treats that you will have to get more dogs so you can use them all. read more

The people here are the sweetest! And they have the expertise to be helpful in figuring out holistic solutions for our pets. At first glance, I thought it was a boutique of sorts. But no. It's a top quality store for foods, herbs, supplements, etc. What a treasure mine! They have a loyalty program. They offer a military discount. If your pet is having any sort of problem, they surely have a solution. I'm very happy to have found this store! read more

We love to get our birthday pup cakes here! The dogs really enjoy the treats. There are so many cute things in the store too!

First time at Dexter's Deli to pick up a treat for my buddy's corgi. Was surprised to see so many options of treat and at decent prices. I purchased four mini cup cakes and upon check out, I shared that it was a belated birthday treat and the clerk immediately offered to wrap it up for me. Service from start to finish was phenomenal. The corgi devoured the cupcakes and my buddy texted me saying that the treats smelled so good, she wanted to try it herself (= read more
