Your pets are in for a treat, literally and figuratively, with a visit to Pet Food Express! With aisles filled with pet food, treats, toys and other supplies, you'll find all that you'll need here to keep your little furry friends fed, happy, and learning. The variety of food options from different suppliers and manufacturers give you plenty of choices to consider. If you're experimenting with different diets and meal combinations, this is a great place to build up your inventory in small batches at home. You'll find wet and dry varieties for both canines and felines but you'll also find feed for smaller critters as well. Their collection of treats and snacks is also immense. You'll find at least 4 aisles dedicated to chews for canines including horns, hoofs, antlers, bones, and hides. Biscuits, dried fish and produce blends, and jerky are also very common here with multiple brand options available. For biscuit and cookies, you'll also be able to purchase them by weight if you're looking for smaller amounts. They may vary in ingredients and design but they all seem very intact and organized. In addition to the edibles, your pets will grovel at all the toys and supplies to help them learn, play, walk, and be comfortable. From leashes, harnesses and boots for walks to beds, grass pads, and toys for home bodies, you'll be able to shop and buy all of them in person. Prices don't seem too much off from online prices but the benefit here is that you'll be able to bring it home with you right away while supporting a local business. You'll also find a self washing station here where many guardians take their furry pals to get cleaned up. The basins are quite large to accommodate larger animals and despite being self service, it seems to be kept pretty clean. The staff were also great during our visit. They gave warm greetings and were on task, keeping the place clean, organized and stocked. Management has done a great job building a good working culture here! Overall, Pet Food Express is for sure where you'll find your pet necessities quickly, but due to the variety of items, by no means would you want to leave quickly. The available supplies and extent of options give you plenty to look through. If you're looking for something specific, the staff are available to help and fortunately prices are reasonable, so you and your pets will stroll out happy! read more

This review is only for the dog self-service wash. My husband and son took our 8-year-old husky for a much-needed bath. When they walked in, they noticed the place was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Before paying, my husband asked if they could try the wash first since we weren't sure whether to purchase a single wash or take advantage of the "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" special. The process was very easy--shampoo and aprons were provided, and they had 25 minutes to wash our pup. This was more than enough time to thoroughly clean our 100lb husky and use the air-dry hose. The only reason we opted for just one wash instead of the bundle was the drying system. While the air-dry hose is a nice feature, it wasn't strong enough for our husky's thick coat. We'll be looking for a place with heated dryers, but if those don't work out, we'd be happy to return here. Thank you for the great service and for cleaning up after our very hairy pup! read more

Love the food and healthy treats for my pup. My dog gets so excited to come into the store, as the staff are all knowledgeable, attentive and friendly towards us. She even gets excited for bath time at their PetWash Station, where everything works, is clean and stocked up with clean drying towels. We are recurring customers. read more

Our senior dog has been dealing with a few small issues and I went in wanting some information on how to treat them with diet. The woman who helped us gave us some wonderful suggestions. Everyone has been welcoming and friendly. Our selections are a little pricey but it's worth it how happy it makes our dog. Thanks for the help! read more

Always clean, great selection of healthy pet food. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Love this place, I think this was officially my first time in one of these in eons. This location has plenty of parking and is bigger than it looks from the outside. If you have trouble finding anything in particular just ask an associate and they can navigate you right towards the item or direct you how to obtain. I have yet to come across something that I could not find at this location and the prices for natural treats and selection are just right! Don't forget to stock up on holiday treats and play items for the fur babies, snooze you lose. read more

This is my go to spot to wash my dogs. Service here is always amazing and every one is so friendly. The bath area is usually busy on the weekends, but the weekdays is usually not too bad. Staff are receptive when we need help cleaning the bath areas. I love that soap is provided and the water is warm for the dogs! This place helped save my back from washing my larger dogs! read more

Long overdo review from last Thursday as Fabian and another female co-worker were so helpful when I took my Goldendoodle to self wash for the first time. Fabian was so upbeat, friendly and funny along with being customer focused and just a nice person!! PetSmart is fortunate to have found him as they must be doing so many things right and one of them was in hiring Fabian! read more

Longtime happy customer. I have always had a soft spot for Pet Food Express since my oldest daughter worked for corporate years ago and I seen first hand the caring nature and charity of this company. My husband has always said our dogs eat better than he does... The quality of all the products and food here is top notch. He doesn't know it so shhhhh the cats eat better than he does too. Lol. So today was my first foray into washing my dog in the self serve dog wash. Everything started off easy buy your token at the counter get towels they give you a collar in case you don't want yours getting wet. The wash comes with soap, but... my baby boy smelled like he was digging and rolling around in a skunk den! So I brought my own concoction... $15 was well worth it. They supplied the tools and towels and the stink washed down the drain... They have a chain attached to the wall at the tub and another one at the blow dry station... This is where it got hard for me, My baby boy thought we went to this new place to murder him! He HATED the wash part and howled and cried the whole time! He didn't mind the blow drying nearly as much. While no dogs were murdered there our station did look like a crime scene... I hope whoever has to clean up back there gets hazard pay! I looked around for a tip jar... Didn't see one! Next time it's a two man operation, My first time I didn't know he was gonna act like that. YIKES!! Service is incredible everyone is so helpful and friendly. And they know their products! read more

This is really getting ridiculous, since I yelped pet food express and exposed my negotiate experience at the fremont location and how they slandered my name too the San Leandro location after I had used their pet wash for approximately a month and a half without incident I might add. I get a call from Andrea Jensen stating because of the vicious and over aggressive 18 month old puppy, I can no longer visit any of the pet food express's. I know like I would use any of their locations after being treat like some maniac with a killer dog. Zero customer service after using the fremont store for over 10 years without incident. Once again hears the area that they now say my aggressive dog caused. Now it's no longer a bite lol. read more

Pet Food Express - Mark by an aggressive dog 18 month old Presa Canario that weighs 140LBS. I know I'm still looking for a mark. - Pet Stores Near Me - Fremont, California

The customer service here is always amazing. I would come back just for that alone. They have great self serve wash stations with high velocity dryers. There's free shampoos available, but you can also buy something else off the shelf, or bring your own. Whenever I've had trouble with an item, be it food or toys, they've let me return or exchange it without a receipt. The staff here is great. They have lots of good foods and treats you won't find in regular pet stores. read more

Customer Service here is undeniably A1! I meant to write a review after my initial trip in here, but got lazy and forgot. Then today David (the associate who helped me) recognized me as I was walking past the store! He must have been on his way in to work, and he even past the store's entrance to come and greet me and ask how my puppy is doing! I cannot express how much that meant to me, it was the sweetest touch! On my initial trip in here, I was so anxious/unprepared about my brand new puppy, but he was so lighthearted and warm as he showed me all the things I'd need & want, without trying to oversell. I was able to get all the necessities knocked out in one trip, but most importantly he got me set up with food my puppy LOVES, which was my biggest!! We're using the Nulo puppy kibble, and I pray that my puppy takes to all the stages of their food like they did this one! Oh & btw got a sample of beef bone broth! Didn't know I was at doggie Costco, but it was a really nice & unexpected touch! read more

First of all the people there are always friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable. I know that pet food Express periodically rotates their managers and personnel. I don't think this is really a complaint, but since the new shift of personnel there seems to be a lot less product to pick from. Meaning they always seem to be out of supplies of some kind or food. Which forces us to go to the Pleasanton pet food Express to get what we need. I know it is a delicate balance to have inventory on hand, especially when dealing with food. But in the past it was done efficiently. Maybe it's just bad timing on my part. Can something be done to improve the inventory so we don't have to go to Pleasanton. Thank you. read more

I take my dog here minimum once a month to get a bath. I'm between then we will stop by the gets toys, treats and dog food. The employees are always so nice and so excited to see my dog come in. My dog also gets so excited to see them and thinks they all have to give him treats because he's so used to getting treats from all of them. Highly recommend coming here because they make you feel like family. Also their pet wash is the best! I always buy the Black Friday deal of the pet washes and it lasts me the entire year. They do the clean up and have the towels which is so nice. read more

LOVE THIS STORE!!! Heard about it from a fellow dog owner after I adopted my puppy. She told me that they actually test out and try all the products in the store before they even go on the shelf. They have all the BEST products overall for your dog from food, treats, & care essentials. They have all my personal favorite picks for my puppy. Also, they only carry the best brands with their prestige products. Not to mention the employees here are all super helpful and always wanting to find all your needs and answer all your questions as well! They also give your pets treats if you are in store after you check out. My puppy loved them so much I started buying almost all the treats they have given a sample for. I'm def happy about this store and love that its so close to home for my pickups for my puppy any day! read more

Always great service, always great products! They do a great job and love coming here

So here's the thing... I'm constantly surprised by this store and how knowledgeable the employees are. I went the other day to try to find a good alternative food for my 10-year-old arthritic dog and Nicholas took the time to show me a few food options at different price points that would be suitable for her given her age and mobility issues. He was super knowledgeable about the different ingredients and supplements that might be helpful for her and was able to answer all of my questions more thoroughly than I ever would have expected. Both my dogs LOVE what he recommended (even my super picky terrier). I always feel good about what I purchase for my dogs when I go to Petfood Express... they carry quality food and have knowledgeable and helpful staff. read more

Pet Food Express consistently impresses. Regardless of location, the employees are passionate about animals, have extensive knowledge on the products and are very helpful. From the first time I owned a hamster to visits with friends who want to use their self-serve pet wash, to pulling my hair out trying to find food my cat will like, Pet Food Express has been there! SIP note- In the earlier phases of Shelter In Place (March 2020), Pet Food Express did an awesome job in assuring customer safety while shopping. Although I was not allowed to enter to store to shop, I could tell them what I was looking for and the employee would go and do the shopping for me. They were quick and friendly as usual. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes and I didn't have to touch anything. Either way, they had hand sanitizer at the front in case anyone wanted some. Currently (as of August 2020) they limit the number of shoppers inside their store. There is still plenty of hand sanitizer and plenty of friendly service. I choose to come here over buying online because of their friendly service and outstanding product knowledge. I have a very finicky kitty with special dietary needs and every employee I have encountered has been incredibly knowledgeable on products. They have helped me narrow down food for my cat each time he has gotten tired of his food. Love this place! read more

We come here to get our pups vaccinated with the VIP mobile vet service and to get yummy treats for them too. The vibe here is always so nice. The people working there are so friendly and you can tell they love animals. There's a large selection of treats, food and toys for our pups and they love coming here to sniff things out. Our place to get quality food for our fur babies! read more

This location has the absolute sweetest and kindest people working here. The delivery service has always been prompt and helpful. Thank you so much Fremont Pet Food Express for the kind, handwritten notes and extra treats for our doggos with deliveries! read more

Pet Food Express - So sweet. Handwritten notes from a business are so rare! - Pet Stores Near Me - Fremont, California

I love Pet Food Express for a couple reasons; super friendly staff and they carry food brands that actually care about the health of our fur babies. I've brought my dog to this location a bunch of times and am always happy to see employees greeting him, giving him treats, and even remembering his name. It makes the environment so welcoming! Would definitely recommend stopping by for treats or any addition supplements that you can't find at larger named dog stores (I can never find anything good there...)! There are some great frozen food toppers we buy regularly to add to our pups food and many of them were recommended by the staff! read more

Writing on behalf of my frenchie - he is very happy with the outstanding service provided by all the great staff. This place has nothing but the best here, great products! Also one last thing I would love to mention the great service I had received from an employee named Emelie she's super knowledgeable in custom diets formulated food for dogs with all needs from recipes to nutrient blends, My dog has been the happiest he's ever been ever since we got a chance to try out her recommendations. Definitely gonna be coming back soon read more

Great pet store and great service Stafe is very friendly and knowledgeable about animals etc read more

Store is no too big or too small, just right! All of the staff are friendly & helpful. Great selection of products at competitive prices. Bring your dogs! read more

I love Pet Food Express! It's really great how we have a "health" pet food store nearby. They sell high quality real food for our cats. We can also get a good number of treats for our cats here as well. Prices are a little higher than they would be online but that's to be expected. read more

I've been here many times and the staff is always kind and helpful but I wanted to leave a review specifically because my mom came here for the first time in search of new food for our cat. She's the kind of person who will research extensively online until choice fatigue kicks in and after ~45 minute visit to PFE, she came back gleaming, saying she wishes she had started coming here 11 years ago (when we got our cat). Thank you to the amazing workers for their recommendations, sharing their own experiences with their pets, and kind service. My mom was so happy and that made me really happy. read more

I have come here once a month since we moved here in January 2019 to use the self-serve dog wash. For $15 you get 25 minutes to bathe your pup. I have a large black lab and she is around 65 pounds. I choose to bring my own soap as a personal preference which also gives me extra time to access warm water and the blow dryer which she absolutely loathes! But we have yet to run out of time before we were finished. They provide extra towels at no cost so if your baby doesn't like the dryer there are plenty of clean towels for your use! I have really enjoyed working with the ladies up front and they make the process very simple and stay out of the way unless needed. Everyone here has been kind and welcoming and very helpful (: We love coming here for a bath! read more

My little 8 month old is now 60 lbs. If you're looking to bath your pet don't do it in your tub take them to Pet Express. The employees are helpful and friendly. Showed us the first time how to use the standing tubs and blow dryers. Great deal only $18 per session for 25 minutes or buy 3 get 4th free! We will be back!!!! read more

Pet Food Express - Luna - Pet Stores Near Me - Fremont, California

I took my puppy there for the first time a couple days ago to get some things and was told about the self service dog wash, so we came back today to get a good bath! I didn't catch the name of the employee the first time but she was really helpful, showed us some food we could get for our other senior dog and also gave my puppy some sample treats that she loved! Today when we came back for the wash, John (or josh? I didn't catch the name very well my apologies) was so helpful and showed us how to use the dog wash, where everything was and explained how the tokens worked! Overall this is one of my preferred places to go now because of how friendly and helpful the staff is. I especially appreciate that when I'm bringing my young puppy who is still learning and training to be calm in new places or where there is tons of people or smells that they are understanding and helpful and patient. read more

Fantastic staff who are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and they actually answer the phones unlike the "Other" store. Thank you Emma and Jamaica! read more

Out of all the pet stores, Pet Food Express is my favorite. I feel like most of their products are of better quality and is healthier for my fur baby. Throughout the years I've visited this location multiple of times and consistently had a great experience. Due to Covid, I've been ordering online for pickup or delivery, and as expected their service was friendly and quick. If you order for delivery, you can get same day delivery for purchases over $30, which I think is worth it! read more

I recently decided to add a puppy(Layla) to my family and even before I brought her home I went to PetSmart for a few questions I had. Since then, it's been 1 month of weekly visits to PetSmart(usually 2x/week) where the staff has helped me get everything I need to raise Layla.  Along with the products, the staff has given me so much advice & at this point feel like close friends! Gabe, Rochelle & the rest of the team are extremely knowledgeable and super friendly.  You won't get a better experience anywhere else!! read more

I came here because I was worried about my dog not eating his regular food. I was promptly helped by one of the associates who walked me through several solutions. She asked me helpful questions to learn more about why my dog might not have an appetite and listened intently to my answers. She gave me multiple options to choose from to help make food more appetizing for my dog. I will be coming again for all my pet-related needs. I highly recommend. read more

I've been shopping here for the past several years and I have to say, the service is always as good as all of the products that they sell. We buy our dogs' and cat's food here since the buy three get the fourth free deal makes the prices comparable to Amazon. Which is saying a lot since we order almost everything from there nowadays. The great thing about PFE is that we can choose which flavors of canned Wellness we want for the furballs. If I lived in a smaller space, I would take my dogs here to bathe them. All of the dogs that I see here leave so sparkly clean! read more

Very nice place, great variety and friendly employees. I needed to go in for a puppy bed and they had a great variety to choose from. I didn't even know they had an area I can later take my dog to give a bath. I will be back to use this feature. read more

I want to thank Leslie for her fine help as I was looking for a healthier and reasonably priced dog food for our 10 year old German Shepherd, Skyla. Her digestive system has really improved. Daniel and Fabian each went out of their way to make sure I got the help I needed. I appreciate that as soon as I came in the door, Fabian was right there, asking to help in anyway he could. Daniel also helped me by informing me there was a sale on nutrional toppers before I just grabbed any of them , Three very positive young employees of this Petfood Express with whom I was fortunate to get kind, attentive help! read more

Shower is prepaid at the counter to exchange for a 24k gold coin to be inserted into machine in the back. Great choices on shampoo at the machines along with towels & water proof collar provided. Employees are very nice and always smiling every time I come in with my polar bear. I'm sure you can bring all kind of pets to the wash, there isn't a sign on restriction... call ahead and ask tho! From alligator, squirrel, parrot, cat, dog, bears, cheetah, lion, tiger and monkeys...etc. I'm sure as long as you can manage behavior of your personal pet you can bring him/her here for a quick 25min wash&dry Thanks a bunch for the awesome employees to clean up after my baby is clean! read more

Great dog food, dog snacks and dog washing services. My dog is 7 and I have been going for 5-6 years, they give treats every time we visit. I also but shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste, and have purchased clothing items over the years. read more

This is honestly a long overdue review since this Pet Food Express has always given me excellent customer service for the past year. I have ordered for same day delivery twice now since I'm trying to exercise self-isolation during these times and THEY. ARE. IMPECCABLE. No delays on delivery (which is FREE), 20% off my order, and free treats/toys/hand sanitizer included! I am beyond amazed and incredibly appreciative of their service. I will continue to make my pet-related purchases exclusively from Pet Food Express. Thank you so much! read more
