This was my 1st time visiting Kahoots. My Schnauzer is the pickiest eater and I think I've tried every brand Petco has, so I wanted to see what Kahoots has to offer. They do carry quite a few brands, some the same as Petco. I was greeted by associate Ronnie who was so kind and helpful. I let Ronnie know about my picky eater. She suggested a few things and even gave me some samples of some kibble she thinks Niko would like. Their prices are not bad at all. I even picked up a grass plant to see if he would nibble on that. Well.. so far so good. He's been eating the brand I picked up. So we'll see how long this lasts. Ronnie also informed me if Niko didn't like it I could return it. Looks like Kahoots just found a new regular customer! read more

What a cute pet store. The customer service was amazing. I've seen this chain before, but never shopped here. I couldn't believe how friendly the employees were. It was a really great experience and the staff was doing a great job. I would absolutely come here again. Highly recommended! read more

Great selection and knowledgeable staff. They love dogs and helped with my picky eater Chihuahua mix. We got portion sized cans and sampled treats until she liked a couple. Then we purchased! No more guessing! read more

Nice location with helpful employees and a vet clinic we regularly visit. I've seen them at events and they're always happy to engage with people and their fur babies. I love visiting to see Remy, the store cockatiel. Parking is easy and walking distance to get your dog a pup cup at Starbucks next door. read more

The workers are awesome, super nice and always helpful. I come in pretty often for raw food for my dogs and they always have it in stock, which is huge for me. They've got a great selection of dog food and treats too, so it's easy to find what I need without guessing. Just a really solid, reliable spot with good people running it! read more

My neighborhood pet store with friendly and knowledgeable employees. If I have any questions, they'll try their best to help you. They also have monthly affordable vet clinics too. I've used their dental cleaning for my dogs before and that was an easy appt too. read more

I went into Kahoots with a ton of questions because I recently adopted a dog. Kiki was so helpful and kind. I left feeling a huge sense of relief because Kiki was so great. read more

I love to support the little guys and Kahoots is a perfect example of a smaller business that is successful by providing great services and products that one needs for their pets. They might not have everything but do stock enough quality products (food, toys, etc.) for our beloved pup. Their customer service is always great. There's always a friendly staff available to assist or help guide you to the right product. I also love going there because of its location and relaxing atmosphere. read more

Came in to Kahoots looking for reptile feeders late last week. Specifically looking for medium sized Dubia Roaches. Unfortunately they were all out till the following day, what great information to be able to give the customers. They were right and I was able to get them the following day. The staff is always kind, receptive, and they know their stuff. We will continue to come into this local Kahoots. read more

Came here for my dogs dental cleaning, rather than going to the vet and having him put under, and I'm so happy by how well it went. The clinic is run by a vet and the process was so incredibly fast and thorough. His teeth looked so white and clean after and they provided us with a full explanation of how his teeth are doing and any things to look out for in the future. Will come back every year as recommended. read more

I had the best experience today! I have been buying my cat food on Amazon and was curious if I could get it at the same cost at Kahoots. Not only did they have the brand (which is a good brand- Fussy Cat), but they also sold it cheaper + a 10% discount for purchasing 24 cans. Garrett, the salesperson, was super helpful and knowledgeable. He also helped me choose a new dog food that was $20 cheaper than what I was previously buying and had great knowledge on probiotics that are included in the various dog brands. read more

Staff is extremely kind and helpful. Very knowledgeable as well. Big selection of healthy dog food options.

We are always greeted by someone. They ask what we are looking for and direct us. Most times escorting us to the item. Friendly, capable, knowledgable are the employee descriptions. We look forward to the Vet Services for trimming Sadie's nails. read more

The workers inside Kahoots are always super friendly and helpful! My son went in wanting a betta and they gave him some great advice on what he needed and how to make sure they're happy. He decided to purchase Blood, a halfmoon betta, that we've had for 2 months now. We purchased the colorful food and he looks amazing! They also offer a 10% military discount. read more

Patrick was exceptional at Kahoots Feed and Pet Store. I have a dog with skin allergies and a cat, and he was incredibly knowledgeable in helping me find the right food and care products for both. He took the time to explain options clearly and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Great service and true expertise - highly recommend! read more

Last week was my first time here. So my dog all of a sudden began rejecting pill pockets. This was a huge problem as she needs to take medication every day. When I explained the situation to John, he recommended some kind of beef roll to hide them in. My dog loves the stuff and looks forward to her medication now. He also recommended some supplements for her allergies. I really appreciate how well trained and friendly the staff is at Kahoots. Thank you John! read more

We've been in here multiple times needing support to find specialty food for our cat with kidney disease. All the staff has been extremely caring, knowledgable and helpful. They carry a wide variety of food options that fit the strict diet needs our cat has. We will continue to shop here as long as we own pets. read more

I like this place. I go to get treats and toys for my cats and they have a good selection with stuff I do not normally see at other bigger pet stores. They have always been friendly and helpful when I go in. Overall great store I like and recommend. Also and very importantly, I love that the pens and stuff they use to hold pets for sale are big in size and very clean. I was very impressed and it goes to show how well they care for their animals there. read more

Kahoots Pet Store - Nice clean guinea pig pen. - Pet Stores Near Me - Poway, California

Friendly folks and some known products, but produce and encourage their company's brand for food mostly. Later have been told of negative things regarding problems with their food. I bought a few cans for my pup to try before I heard this, but he wouldn't touch it. I hope the rumors are not true, but regardless I would probably go elsewhere for my pet food needs. **UPDATE REVIEW** Since all the info I received was based on public and veterinary opinion, I feel it's fair to add this as part of my review. , even if my pup didn't like any of the canned food purchased. I've updated this review as I did have a personal experience at the store, and it seems fair to provide additional information. I'm happy to know other pet owners found their pets like the food. Mine didn't. Typically he eats raw fresh food, and an occasional round of freeze-dried raw. Canned food is limited. However he didn't like the Kahoots! treats either. Maybe just not the right food/treats for my pup. read more

This is a very large and spacious location in Rancho Bernardo. The staff here is AMAZING. They're younger but so helpful and knowledgeable. I've stopped by a few times and am always greeted with a warm hello. I buy dog food here when I'm too lazy to go to Costco. They have 30lb bags of their own name brand dog food. The girls will help take the heavier stuff to your car if need be. I've also purchased bulk dog chews (like cow ears) or cow knuckles. They don't ever seem to be on sale but are a decent price. Their bird mascot is also so very cute. Overall, a wonderful location with an even better staff. read more

Kahoots Pet Store - Zoe! - Pet Stores Near Me - Poway, California

There are no Kahoots by where I live so I made it a point to stop by while I was in Poway already. My dog loved sniffing there dried chew products like the cow hooves. The store was quiet due to the covid 19 situation. Even so you can tell that it's very clean and organized. Plenty of different brands to choose from and some of the toys offered I have not seen before at other places like crochetted stuff animals. My dog is always scared and shaking when he's in PetSmart. He was so comfortable and happy walking around in Kahoots. That in itself makes me want to come back for future needs. Employees were also very kind. We got samples of their store brand dog food and they have Zignature here too! Prices were decent. We left with those and some beef liver treats. I'll definitely be back! read more

******SIX STAR REVIEW!!!!!! Kiki is incredibly awesome!!!!!! My family and I have known her since our Shiba Enu Kuma was a puppy (almost four years). We followed Kiki to her new store in Poway. Kiki has a special gift with animals and Kuma (and us too) absolutely loves her. Talented, bright and quick on the uptake. A true professional with fantastic pet "bedside manners"! She is highly organized top talent with corporate knowledge. Kiki is the best! Kiki is leadership/management material! Promote now!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!! VRS "JJ" read more

This is now my new place to shop for my cats supplies. The young lady that works there e is very knowledgeable and super helpful. I aleyas appreciate a store that has good customer service I will definitely come back! read more

Staff are super friendly. Their selection of supplies are numerous. We have always visited and used this store for all of our pet supplies. Has a nice welcoming and country feel. Kahoots is the best! read more

I love this store! The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant :) they've ordered items hat they don't usually have in stock which it makes it much more convenient for me instead of having to drive to Ramona. read more

I love this store - everyone is nice and there are rarely any lines and lots of help. Now that petco and unleashed have closed - lots more options here for treats and food. You can also ask about training classes - quality staff. My rescue dog took two classes up in Ramona Kahoots. I really love their treat though I would prefer not to see the chicken feet on the counter - it grosses customers out - put them in the treat dept with a big sign instead, please :/ prices are very competitive with Amazon and you'll be buying local. They have everything you need and are very knowledgeable - if they don't have it, they'll tell you where to find it. They are very, very nice and take time to help you - they go above and beyond. Convenient parking. The parking lot is a bit dodgy at night, as are all parking lots in Poway - especially the library parking nearly across the street that shares parking with the Poway police station! I was parked right in front of Von's and a homeless guy (I assume) with an aluminium can and crochet hat (I kid you not, maybe he time traveled from the '70s and needed money to get back) making his way quickly toward me from about 40 feet away. I was shopping at Von's at about 9pm) - I thew my groceries into the passenger's seat (broke my eggs), got in quickly and locked the doors. He went right for the door handle then put his foot under my front tire - and I could back up. He yelled at me to put the money through the window- to crack the window open - and he would move. I wasn't about to get sued by this guy - victims of crimes often have to shell out for damages in California), so I wasn't going to roll over his foot - though there are no cameras in Poway parking lots except for Walmart during the holidays. I was directly in front of Von's and I laid it on the horn but no one came out. The man was yelling for money and slapping my window. I showed him on my cell phone I had called the police and I had them on speaker phone. The police station is two minutes away, at most, it took them 10 minutes to respond. They rolled up and he ran away. They drove after him. I waited a few more minutes to see if they were going to come back or call or something. They never did. Poway police at their best. Anyhow, I don't want to distract from this great review, but had I been in directly in front of Kahoots, I know they would have come right out to help me. I know this from the bottom of my heart - they have an all glass front and can see what's going on and They always ask if I need help to my car and I have taken them up on it a few times. They are very courteous in this world of self-serve everything. Anyhow, go in the day, there is a lot of crime in Poway, and the police make it hard for the press to cover it - they say everything is an active case and they can't talk about it. I don't think they ever close any cases. My friend is a reporter and its been very frustrating for her news org. read more

We always enjoying going in there to shop for our pets. We enjoy the friendly, helpful and outgoing customer service every time we go back. TY read more

Absolutely love Kahoots! Everyone there is so friendly, every time I come in they greet me with a warm welcome and remember my pup by name! You can tell every single staff member here cares about their customers, and all the fur babies they encounter. They have a great selection of products that won't break the bank. I will always shop here, Kahoots is the best. read more

Kahoots Pet Store - Maverick with Santa on Customer Appreciation Day - Pet Stores Near Me - Poway, California

Nice local chain had great customer service. I have bought dog food here for my big girl. I was also looking at products for pain management. A sales associate spent about 10 minutes with me explaining products. She told me about the CBD oil which I was curious about. I also received some samples of their branded dog food. My other little picky dog who I got the samples for, threw up the salmon dog food. So would not ever buy that, but the boar she seens to tolerate. The first location, I went to they offered to carry my dog food out. I visited Rancho Bernardo and Poway. read more

Very nice. I have been getting ready to get a bearded dragon and I have been here recently. Good pet owner advice and very helpful! I really enjoy this place. read more

Great local pet store. The staff are super helpful and always insist on carrying my dog food out to my car for me. My kids love interacting with the store's resident pets. We recently got a new puppy and Kahoots had all the puppy stuff we needed. read more

This location just opened yesterday. I went today and it is a nice, big pet supply store. I was planning to go buy Canidae at The Buried Bone but they were already closed, even though I showed up at 5:59p.m., which is 1 minute before their closing time. So I drove back here (since it's in the same little strip mall) to see if they carried Canidae. And they did :) They are open until 8p.m., woo! The employees are super nice! The cashier helped me carry my 35 lb. bag of dog food to my car :) I'll be going here from now on, since I know it'll be open for me. Kahoots, you have earned yourself a customer :) read more

Courtney from Alabama was just as helpful and sweet as could be! She super mellow checked on me a few times and was incredibly informative with my ridiculous questions- mostly about what would make my dog happiest. She is a model employee and seems like a genuinely good person. Hire more people like this! read more

I was in this store this evening and Danielle helped me out. She greeted my dog with a treat and even helped me carry my extra bags to my truck.. As a man, I was a little taken back by this gesture because I've never had a woman do this for me at the store. She was nothing short of amazing and will keep me coming back! Respectfully, Rob read more

Came into here, seeing if it was a viable alternative to the other large big box pet stores out there and in a word, it is. They are on the smaller side and a lot of space is dedicated to the in house brand food, but that's to be expected. I had no trouble finding what I needed. It wasn't very busy so I think about every employee asked me if I needed help. That's fine too, since they were nice, I appreciate it to being ignored. This particular store is meticulously maintained. The aisles were clear, everything was stocked, the store was immaculate. As a neat freak I can really appreciate that as well! read more

This is one of my favourite pet stores. The staff is very knowledgable and if they don't know something, they make it their mission to figure it out. They take customer service very seriously and bonus points of being friendly and caring (most other pet store's workers usually seem like they don't enjoy their job or have little interest in conversation). My favourite thing about them is they carry organic pet food that won't murder your wallet. read more

I was just in the store picking up food. I was there for five minutes three customers incurred with no face mask and when I inquired the cashier said "that is for the police to enforce" I know they need the business but it won't be mine. They could offer free facemasks for our customers not wearing them read more
