I really enjoy this Pet Food Express location! I've been to several others and this one has a better pet washing station than the one in Loehmann's Plaza and isn't a zoo like the giant location in Land Park. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable here. They never hesitate to check stock for me on certain items or help me find what I am looking for. It's definitely a better service experience here than at a PetsMart. I also like how I can order food to be delivered free to my various dog fosters that help support the golden retriever rescue organization I volunteer with. That saves me time and I appreciate it. Bonus: Need discount dog/cat vaccinations? Every Saturday afternoon there's a mobile vet clinic that offers low cost services here. Pro tip: Buy the bundle of 3 pet washes and get one free, making it only $15/wash which includes the shampoo and frequently free samples of dog treats and extra coupons. No, it doesn't take 10 minutes for the water to heat up. Yes, the blow dry is cool air. Gunner W enjoys his baths and I enjoy not having to clean up the dog hair left behind from a fully bathed golden retriever. read more

Stopped in to get a pig ear for the baby and was pleasantly surprised by the absolute best customer service I have ever experienced. Thank you to the whole staff especially the wonderful cashier who went out of her way to make our little boys day special. read more

Such a clean and well-stocked pet store. It was my first time here and it was so easy to find what I needed. Grace was fantastic at helping me get the right products! She went above and beyond! Will definitely be returning read more

Don't tourcher your pet by using their self serve dog wash! It's horrible! The water took 10 minutes to warm up, there was little to no soap, and it only blows cold air! I asked for help twice and was told that's how it is and most people bring their own soap. It cost $18 but live and learn. read more

We have been taking our black tuxedo goldendoodle puppy to Pet Food Express since we adopted him back in November and love all of their grain-free products, supplements, toys, shampoos, etc. and excellent customer service! The first part of the video was when he was just 2 months old and I also highlighted some of our favorite pet products for both our cat and dog! I would HIGHLY recommend the Citrus Heights location and we'll continue to support this local pet business! SYOY! =^.^= *Song Credit: Journey 01 by Xuxiao read more

I am helping take care of a friend's dogs and have been coming here for food, treats, and toys. They have an excellent selection and great service. The dog wash stations are very good and the people help you with how to work them. They even have an automatic door shut button in case your dog gets loose. read more

Pet Food Express - Ready for a nap after his bath. - Pet Stores Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

This was my first visit to the Pet Food Express! It was short and SWEET! I ordered the Dog Food on-line and was just picking it up. I entered the store and was promptly greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Bella! She was very friendly and happy and offered assistance. Hearing that I was there for a pick-up she went to the back to get my bag of food. Coming back she was accompanied by a very nice man by the name of Chach - who was carrying the aforementioned bag of food. We completed the transaction at the counter and he offered to carry the bag out to my car - which was very much appreciated. As we walked out to the car he asked about our dog and his name and we had a very pleasant brief conversation about mine and dogs in general! They have a WIDE Variety of pet supplies, food, treats and toys. They also have a dog washing area, where they supply EVERYTHING but the dog! The store was very clean and organized. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had a very large selection of products and the prices seemed to be reasonable. I will definitely go there again!!! read more

We love all of the Pet Food Express locations but the customer service at this particular location is made 5-star by Ann. She went out of her way to spend extra time discussing novel protein dry food options with me for my super sensitive dog, even gifting us a free bag of food when the food I wanted was not in stock. I'd never thought of trying an insect protein before but we're going to now! My doggo was recovering from surgery and Ann was her first human contact outside of mom and dad in ten days, so she made sure to love on her with extra attention too. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

I honestly did not expect to be writing a review for a chain pet store. But last Sunday we got a puppy and before we brought her into our house we wanted to make sure she was flea free and clean, so we made a stop at the Pet food express in citrus Heights. we were greeted by Ann who is an absolute angel from heaven. She took such great care of us in our new pooch. Seeing that we were new dog parents. She got us into that wash, hooked us up with some food and a toy for our new baby and was just so wonderfully sweet. The entire staff was wonderful but Ann definitely went the extra mile. We would definitely come back here for a quick quick pet wash read more

Emily always gives customers an amazing experience not only does she help me and suggest new items but I see her always being friendly and helping others with a smile I come to this store because she gives great customer service and is very engaging with everyone read more

We took our dog in to bathe her. On the positive side, the bathing area was relatively clean and there were plenty of towels. You could not control the temp of the water, however, so you might as well be outside with a hose. It took more than 5 minutes for the water to heat up and it wasn't consistent. You had no control of the temperature. There was no shampoo in the 4 out of 5 shampoo types we tried. It was just water and I wished I had brought shampoo with me. All this for $18! read more

I just noticed this pet food express next to Walmart on Sunrise. Workers are still getting the store prepared for a grand opening. I can't wait to buy pet food at this store. It will be so much more convenient for me. Let's hope it opens soon. read more

Start out by saying wow - this establishment is so welcoming! Immediately upon arrival I was greeted with smiles, hellos, and a welcome back. I found what I needed incredibly easy because the store was well organized and very clean. I came to find something that was "in stock" on the website, and what a relief when you come into store, and it is actually in stock :) I was lingering by the cbd dog treats trying to decide if I wanted to get a higher dose than what I normally get, and a staff member came up to me and cleverly asked if I was just restocking? Leaving the conversation open for me to ask if I needed help without being too pushy. I asked for advice, they immediately put me at ease, and helped me check out. And even gave me a compliment, which was just really sweet. Overall excellent customer service from Bella and Ann (sorry if misspelled) and their store looks amazing! read more

I have always loved this store. Staff I have come to know by name and they know me. Steve and Ann are the best. They are full of knowledge and have helped me so much. There is one brand of kibble that the other local stores carry that I use that this store does not. I buy their specialty treats, harnesses, toppers, and my pup loves to go there. I go in weekly with my pup. I have a picky eater pup who I want to transition from puppy to adult food. Because of this I asked when purchasing a new kibble if I could return it if my pup did not like it. In the past I had returned a couple of toppers without a problem with a refund to card. They said yes. With a receipt. My pup refused to eat what I bought so yesterday I returned. The two staff who I didn't know refused to refund to my credit card. I think one man was a manager. I had to get a store credit. I didn't want that as they don't carry the food I currently am using and also, this is not what I was told. Made me mad and I left with my store gift card. I was going to buy treats but did not. The store is out of my way, and considering how much I have spent there, I will be making fewer trips. I went to another store and made a purchase of food as I know they refund without a store credit if needed. I will return in a month rather than weekly to purchase treats. I have been going here 9 months. read more

It's always a positive experience. read more

Great place for dog bath! They provide aprons, plastic collars, shampoo, dryer, and dog treats. Friendly staff in a clean store!

Absolutely the best experience I've had in a long time. Very knowledgeable staff, welcoming, understanding and most of all supportive every step of the way! I shared how my poor French bulldog has been uncomfortable and itching Anne knew exactly what he needed!! She was through and very compassionate about nutritional facts for dogs. I immediately tried all the remedies she sold to me & Gucci ( my dog ) is feeling so handsome and confident!!!! Anne, thank you again for your wonderful customer service, this business is lucky to have such an amazing employee. To Anne, Steve and Chach thank you again!!!!!!! read more

Love this shop! I used to have to go all the way to Roseville to give my dog a bath because they let you bring your own shampoo and other places don't. So glad I have one right down the street! read more
