Pet Foods Market

Really enjoy this place. My dogs love the Acana brand of Dog food the best, along with the Small Bites Chicken pucks, Cat Fish treats and more that are not available anywhere else in the South Bay (to my knowledge).
Jonathan and Flip are always so helpful, as are the women who own the store. Thank you!

Thank you so much Barbara for recommending acana dog food for our Boston terrier, Nyla, and the skinny mini snacks too! She’s eating! We are so happy and grateful for your recommendations.

This is the best pet food store in the Southbay. Not only are their prices better than the larger pet stores, but the staff is knowledgable and friendly. I love their new FREE DELIVERY service. When life gets crazy, it is so nice to know you can have your pet food delivered right to your door.

Now that it’s happened twice I have to say something. I feed my cats a raw diet. I’ve called twice asking if my food is in stock (it was not. And that is annoying but not why I’m posting a bad review) both times I was advised to feed my cats the dog version. THE DOG FORMULA IS NOT A COMPLETE DIET. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN HEART MEAT WHICH HAS TAURINE. The first time, I explained that the woman on the phone, she was like oh wow I didn’t know that and I felt like I’d informed a misinformed person. To say that again to my bf a few days later when we called is just messed up. You’re attempting to make a sale at the expense the animals health. Will never shop here again. Zero stars.

I absolutely love Pet Foods Market. I have two dogs, and am constantly needing specific items for them, from food, to toys, to fun things to chew. They have an awesome selection of everything, so I always walk out of the store with all that I need. They will also special order food, toys, leashes, anything, upon request.
Contrary to popular belief about independently owned stores, they are not more expensive than the chains. Their prices are very fair, and reasonable. They actually have one treat that is $ 2.00 less than a major chain.
Being extremely conscious of my dogs’ health, I love that they have a huge selection of high quality goods, and are well stocked with the very best, most healthy foods, etc. (they have most everything that one would find on The Whole Dog Journal «Best Foods» list).
The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. It must be a great place to work because there is very low turnover, therefore the employees learn to know you, and even remember your dogs’ names and needs. The special care and attention is not matched by any other store in the South Bay. Most days of the week, you can even find one of the owners there, working behind the counter, helping customers, and making sure everyone is taken care of appropriately. This is not a business where you have no idea who is running the place, they are there, and they care, which adds a special, «sense of community» feeling to the store.
I am so thankful to have Pet Foods Market in the neighborhood, and highly recommend them. Five stars for sure!

We have been coming here for years and not only enjoy the selection of high quality foods and treats, but also appreciate that the staff ALWAYS asks if we have any questions each time we enter. They have a food rewards program which is also a nice incentive as we purchase a large bag each month. The staff offers to carry bags to my car, and they seem very knowledgeable about a variety of foods, etc.

Great local pet food place, love coming here and seeing that big fat cat just lazing about :) My Frenchies love the food I get here, Fresh Now by Petcurean, and I always stock up on Greenies when I’m there. Its also next door to my favorite market so its easy shopping for me. Love the staff here and I’ll be back soon!

I came in here for the third time to buy some dog snacks and sad to say, I won’t be coming back. I appreciate a store that stocks high quality, responsibly sourced dog food. They are all brands that have stellar reputations: Merrick, Orijen, Petcurean, Wellness, etc. I also go out of my way to support small local businesses in the South Bay. But the attitude of the staff leaves much to be desired. Words in my head as I walked out: snobby, condescending, sanctimonious… Just to name a few. This happened on all three of my visits, spread over the past few months. I just don’t have the time or patience for that.
In a way, it’s kind of a relief. I gave them a shot (or three) and now no longer have to pay over-​market prices, weave my way down Sepulveda or try to find a spot in a craptastic parking lot that rivals that of Trader Joe’s in its inanity. Hello, Amazon.

I felt very uncomfortable in the pet food market. The woman behind the counter was spouting right wing rhetoric about politics saying she was frightened etc etc. I’m white so I don’t look like some immigrants but I am one, and I love America. Another woman who was also working in the shop looked as uncomfortable as me. You have the right to your views but don’t make them part of my shopping experience. I left the store without the stuff I went in for.

This place is great, I called to make sure they have Nutrisca because it seems to be a little hard to find, but they have it! I also get the Stella and Chewy freeze dried patties and they have them too! When we came in the staff was very welcoming and sweet. Will definitely be back!

Came here at 9:10am and wasn’t open for business. If you are going to have a business and advertise certain hours, make sure you follow through.

Great store and great people working there! They have a great selection of products for your pets and very knowledgable…

Brought my other kitty here for anesthesia-​free teeth cleaning and his teeth look great and he’s not at all traumatized. Whole procedure took about the same length of time it would have taken to drive to the vet, not to mention the expense, risk of complications from putting them under, plus no food the night before. Don’t hesitate to bring your baby (s) here.

This is my go-​to place for food for my cats and koi. I love that it’s a small, local business. The staff are always attentive and helpful, and offer to order anything I need, and set aside items. Most places don’t carry the high-​quality food my kitties like, so I’m glad to have found Pet Foods Market.

I give Pet Foods Market 5+ Stars!
Our first trip here was because we decided to feed our cats wholesome foods only, and the staff introduced us to several types (all thoroughly enjoyed by our furry friends). I love this store because the staff is not at all pushy, and will always help when we need/​ask for it. Everyone here is Very informative, and really do care for everyone and their pets! :)
Sure the prices may be slightly high, but they have an abundant selection, and they keep their store super tidy and clean that every visit makes me feel confident making a purchase for our pets.
AND, They have an adorable Turkish Van as their store mascot kitty :))
Go to the Best for your furry babies!

Best service in manhattan beach! Great pArking and awesome juicy crickets! Way better than pet smart!

I am going to give this place 3-​stars for now, and here’s why…
THE GOOD:
— Offer a 2x monthly non-​anesthic canine teeth cleaning through a vet/​vendor that comes in. Scheduling is easy and this service is great since my dog cannot do the knocked out thing.
— Offer a wide variety of supplies and foods, a well as toys, leashes, etc.
THE BAD:
— Getting in and out of the small parking lot, especially during high traffic on PCH is difficult.
— The staff are NOT friendly and usually mill about and ignore customers unless you need to pay for something, then they are quick to take your money. Also, never had any person here smile at me… not once.
— Prices are ludacrious. I realize it’s Manhattan Beach and stuff is expensive because everyone needs a YorkiePoo as an accessory to go with the fake lips, fake boobs, and the Range Rover… but honestly the prices are outrageous.
There you have it. You make the call… I’ll keep going for the 3^rd party teeth cleaning for my doggie… and little else.

I was recently in town for my friends dogs life saving heart surgery. We brought my two dogs as well. The afternoon before surgery we drove in from Las Vegas and wanted to splurge on a major «cookie party .»
We came in with the dogs, wandering around marveling at all the awesome product and pulling one item after another off the shelf.
$ 200 later the two women working still didn’t say a single word to us. Had zero interest in meeting our dogs and frankly acted as if they were ready for us to leave the second we entered. Just stared at us in silence from behind the counter and looked increasingly annoyed at our shopping spree.
Worst customer service I could possibly imagine and made a very important shopping spree less than exciting with their downright rudeness.
I will never be back and I will warn all my friends to find a more friendly shop for their pets.

Ok so there are some reviews that are written because you happen upon a gem and just can’t wait to share with the world and then there are those reviews that stem from the WORST experience ever and this is one of those reviews.
My hubbs noticed Pet Foods Market today as we walked to the bagel shop a couple of doors away. Since we spend lots of dough on our fur baby he made sure that we stopped in to check out the store and maybe pick up some treats. From the minute we walked in I knew this whole thing was gonna go sideways because the owner/​manager walking around immediately started following us like we were about to pull off the heist of the century. I chose to ignore her and we continued shopping and looking for something to buy our fur baby. As we were chatting my husband asked me what type of treats it was that our pet loved and I reminded him that they’re made by Nutro and it was at this point that the owner jumped into our conversation to say «we don’t sell Nutro in our store». Now I know that sounds innocent enough, but you kinda had to hear her because a). she has a guttural sounding accent straight out of the Sound of Music and b). the look on her face like she just smelled poop let us know that she was offended by Nutro food and that its the Mc Donalds of dog food to her. My husband then asked if the food isn’t ok and she said «no thats like shopping at Albertsons and we are the Whole Foods».
Seriously, I guess anyone that would shop at Albertsons isn’t good enough and shouldn’t be in her store. Here’s a news flash lady, about 10 other businesses have been in your location and another will be there after you’re gone. I used to buy Natural Balance for my dog and you’re charging the good people of Manhattan Beach $ 65.00 for the same bag of food they can buy in Torrance for $ 48.00. If she’d offered suggestions without the attitude I would have embraced her comments but the attitude was just over the top.
Stop being a snobby idiot and treat your customers with respect because you never know who’s walking into your store and they might just describe their horrible experience at your establishment on Unilocal.Oh and one last thing… your shop is inland and you can’t even afford to be on Highland, Manhattan Beach Blvd. or Manhattan Avenue which are all close to the pier so stop acting like you’re the cream of the crop. You’re just another elitist, racist in a beach community which is nothing new or special.

These people REALLY REALLY care about pets!!! I trust them completely and I’m so lucky to have them near me but they would be worth a drive. They are passionate about what they do and they are incredibly knowledgeable. They offer TRULY healthy options for your pet, no junk Alpo made with fillers and meats of an unknown scary source here. Also if you’re pet has any food issues, this is your spot.
I rescued Buddy my cocker spaniel in February and when I realized he was having issues with food allergies and found Pet Foods Market. They helped me to try out multiple brands, free raw diet samples etc and they were very patient. I honestly feel that they understand these types of issues better than most vets. My dog now gets an amazing dry food with a little splash of goats milk every day. He’s thrilled and no more allergy or tummy issues!
Did you know that chicken is the #1 one allergen for dogs and that raw hide bones are the #1 item surgically removed? I’ve learned so much from them, they love what they do.
I most recently had to deal with a lil batch of fleas, YUCK! I worked with Pet Foods to come up with a combination of natural and unnatural (Advantage) solutions. So far so good and now I have a natural yummy smelling shampoo that I can use as at preventative going forward.
If you’re a pet owner who has any heath concerns or just wants the best for their 4-​legged family member this is the place to go. Some of the prices are going to be higher than a large chain store but it’s because of what your getting, QUALITY, peace of mind and a long healthy life for your lil furry friend. If you are looking for toys I still to go homegoods but that’s to be expected at small shop and that’s not what they’re known for but you can find anything you need (I can only speak for dogs however)
PS They are amazing about returns, they are determined to make sure you’re happy and find just the right product. :)
