I've visited Beast Pets Vista multiple times and have always been impressed by their expertise and…read moreservice. This reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate specialty store is veteran-owned, run by Steve, and has become a trusted spot for exotic pet enthusiasts. What really stands out is the customer service, welcoming, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both the animals and the customers. The store offers a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, spiders, invertebrates, feeders, and even custom substrates for isopod and millipede care. It's also very clean, organized, and well-stocked. Everything from tanks to supplies is neatly laid out, making shopping straightforward and enjoyable. They offer competitive prices and great value, working directly with breeders and feeder suppliers. Bottom line, Beast Pets Vista has expert staff, well-maintained stock, fair pricing, and unbeatable customer care. Whether you need feeders, a new pet, habitat setup advice, or niche invertebrate supplies, this place checks every box. Beast Pets Vista is located in a small shopping center not too far from the Post Office and right next to Banana Dang.

This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had…read more The older white woman working the floor acted as though helping customers was beneath her. She didn't just come across as rude--she seemed genuinely annoyed and disgusted anytime someone asked her a question. Every interaction was cold, condescending, and unnecessarily hostile. What made it even worse was that it wasn't just me. While I was in the store, I watched her interact with several other customers, and every single interaction had the same dismissive, irritated attitude. She spoke to people as if they were inconveniencing her simply by asking for assistance. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere throughout the store. Customer service doesn't require someone to be overly cheerful, but it does require basic courtesy and respect. This employee showed neither. If someone dislikes interacting with customers this much, they shouldn't be working in a customer-facing role. Management seriously needs to pay attention to the way this employee treats people. One bad employee can ruin an entire shopping experience, and based on what I witnessed, this doesn't seem like an isolated incident. Unless something changes, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Their toucans and parrots were spectacular. Yes the store is noisy but the birds seemed very lively and happy. They had huge tortoises as well and some fun reptiles too. I went with my parents and my little girls (2 and 3 years old) and we all had a great time. The owners seemed to know their animals and I wish them well in their plans to build a larger educational children's zoo here in North County. I agree with Stephanie and definitely recommend this place.

As much as I wanted to hold on to her, I didn't want her to suffer. I reached out to Dr. Castillo, and she responded promptly. She was kind, compassionate, and incredibly gentle with Daisy throughout the process. Saying goodbye is never easy. After Daisy peacefully passed, Dr. Castillo carefully placed her in a beautiful basket with a blanket for transport to the crematory. We truly appreciated the care and compassion she showed our family during such a difficult time. It also warmed my heart to receive a thoughtful sympathy card from her afterward. It was a meaningful gesture that meant so much to us. We are grateful for everything Dr. Castillo did for our family, and especially for our beloved Daisy.

I contacted Dr Castillo and left a message. She returned my call the same day and discussed the process, the options, and prices. We scheduled a time for her to come to our home and perform the procedure. Dr Castillo arrived at the agreed upon time and walked us thru the entire process. She allowed us time with our pup and was extremely compassionate throughout the entire process. GOD Bless Dr. Castillo, she made an agonizing situation a little bit better and we greatly appreciated her compassion and professionalism! We chose cremation with a return of our pups ashes! That process was seamless and we are very happy with that choice! One last note, a few days after receiving our pets ashes we received a card in the mail from the Arbor Day foundation that Dr Castillo had made a donation to plant a tree in a National Forest in honor of Sissy! We cant express our gratitude enough! Thank you Doctor!

Support your local business!…read more Service is amazing: welcoming, friendly, accommodating and helpful staff. Prices are actually average and comparable to some online retail stores (sometimes even cheaper!). I like the proximity and diversity of the products (most of them are very high end, high quality) they offer. The store is divided in 3 parts: cats and dogs in the left building, hay and livestock in the middle (outdoor) and farm accessories, medicines in the right building. They offer delivery services as well. Plenty of parking. Recommended!

She opened up the box and confirmed everything was out. She went away to grab the supplies and refilled.
