Muttropolis

Love this store! Super cute items for your fur baby. There was a large selection of apparel, leashes, harnesses, and toys. There was a section in the back with all kinds of food & treats. I also saw a whole wall of beds. Although prices are steep you’re paying for quality. Great customer service. The woman working there approach me right away & asked what I was looking for. She asked what kind of dog I had & how much she weighed to make sure I got the correct size. The store set up is adorable and extremely clean. She was very friendly & helpful. I got pajamas for my baby girl & it fits perfectly. Next time I need to bring my baby she would enjoy the experience. Thanks so much for the great service. Will definitely be coming back for a buddy belt.

When we moved into our new house we discovered a stray cat moved in too. Now we have a new house and a cat and I needed some help. We had just moved from La Jolla and I knew about Muttropolis. In the past we found the people at Muttropolis in La Jolla to be very helpful. The store manager was really helpful finding a food that would help the cat gain a little weight. She was very knowledgeable, patient and spent enough time teaching me about the different foods. The cat is thriving with her new food and I will happily come back for more.

I love this adorable pet gift shop! Whenever I go to Dan Diego I make a special trip to La Jolla to shop here for my two pups. They have an awesome selection of dog toys, collars, leashes, apparel, dishes and much more. Their prices are comparable to similar specialty pet gift shops and the service is good.

This is the place for anything dog/​cat related. Excellent selection of collars. Cathy is always fun and extraordinarily helpful. A cut above.

I’ve been coming here for a little over a year. I Used to go to the solana beach store.
In there today and the sales associate made a rude comment about me to the next customer in line.
Hmmmm…let’s see… how much do I spend in your store a year??? You just lost a customer. And you do know that people spread the word about crappy customer service like wildfire.
Good luck there lady and learn and to talk and work at the same time. You don’t have to stop everything you’re doing every time a word comes out of your mouth. We’re not all 70 with all the time in the world to wait in line in your store.
And the remark about you not being able to turn on the air conditioning since you were the only one there when I commented how hot it was in the store??? Besides it being 345 in the afternoon… Uh, you had just mentioned to someone 2 people in front of me that your boss was in the back. And low and behold when you went to turn on the air… where was it? In the back!
It’s overpriced here anyway catering to the la jolla stuck ups. What do I know right? If you don’t dress well and have a plastic face you are definitely treated differently.

How cool is this little place?! The higher class elegance of this place make it that I will never hit up another PetCo for my doggy needs. Items ranging from food to toys fill this quaint shop with fair prices and super nice counter help.

Cute little store with helpful employees. I had ordered some collars online around Christmas for my girls and couldn’t remember the sizes. They were able to look up the collar sizes that I ordered in store. This is not an inexpensive shopping experience but everything is excellent quality. My fur kids especially love the toys with the multiple squeakers.

I stopped by to find something special for my Chihuahuas 15^th Birthday! Found what I wanted. They have cute little cakes and cupcakes for your pets that say Happy Birthday. Can’t wait to give them to my pets. The lady that was in the store was super super sweet. They have lots of other great items that I didn’t get to check out. My friend bought a «Cooling Mat» for her Shih Tzu, which I haven’t seen in any other pet stores. It received great reviews. I recommend stopping by and checking it out.

This place is beyond cute!
The employee who helped me out was really kind and knowledgable. With her help, I was able to pick out a couple treats for my dog. My dog loved them, of course.
I really wish there was a location closer to my home in Orange County.

While on vacation in La Jolla, I walked into this store and bought a little pink squeaky pig for the baby to chew on. There is a great selection of plush toys that squeal when chomped on. Since bringing the squeaky little pig into the family, the baby gets a lot of attention when going for his afternoon walk with said pig in his jaws.
There was a single store employee behind the counter when I walked in, and she seemed to be more focused on what she was doing then the customers. That said, she seemed friendly enough when I was paying for my purchase.

My dogs always love the treats I get from here but the customer service isn’t very good.

I have been going here since we got our Boston Terrier pups 2 years ago. Really the only thing I buy here are their dog bones. Yeah it’s on the pricer side but it doesn’t seem to make them throw up or chew it up in one sitting. My last dog had such a huge problem with store bought bones like from Petsmart or Petco, that we stopped giving them to her. This place, my Bostons has never had a problem. It’s a drive from where I live, so when I do go, I make sure to stock up on enough bones to last me a few months. I also like to buy them their furry animal friends that have the squeakers in them minus the stuffing. I swear I find those dead animals all over the place.
Yes my Boston’s are spoiled. But so are my two legged kids. It’s only fitting.

I will say they have some cool stuff but the fact that they don’t allow customers to take a pictures in the store is ridiculous

This is such a fun pet store. It’s a bit high-​end, but they have some very unique items that I haven’t seen elsewhere. It mostly caters to dog owners, but there is a small cat section as well.
Most of the items aren’t essential pet items, but super cute accessories and outfits for your dog. I wouldn’t do my regular pet shopping here, but it’s fun for birthdays and holidays. They also have a free pet birthday club, where they will send you a discount postcard in the mail.
My cats particularly like the bonita flakes that are sold here.

Honestly the cutest pet store I have ever been into! Such fun and friendly staff, and a good mix of high quality items and items that are just so fun you can’t help but buy them…
They had quality, organic dog food and treats, and toys that are super safe for new puppies and older dogs. Also, they have the best toys I think I have ever seen… Toy Corona Bottles, «Chewy» Vuitton bags, or Tiffany & Co boxes… absolutely adorable! I took a star off for price, because $ 15 dollars for a dog toy is a little steep, but I definitely will be returning because a toy that cute is well worth the price!

Going into a store where they remember your name and the last time they saw you is a plus! Well… For Stella! They don’t remember my name, but hers! Lol
The merchandise is mostly top of the line, I always feed Stella Orijen and Zukes. Other than that frozen raw and fresh veggies. She’s a hearty eater!
But overall, this is a favorite place Stella gets real excited to go!
Thx!

We love the staff and the stuff Muttropolis has to offer! It is a bit pricey but most dog-​related stuff is. We bought our dog some treats and a little alligator toy (as recommended by the staff) because our puppy was teething.
Overall, great store and we are definitely fans!
Note: We have been to all three Muttropolis stores and they are all fantastic!

Muttropolis is a great place to purchase natural dog food and treats. The prices are competitive and they say that they will beat any other store’s price. They also have a program for frequent buyers so you can usually get a discount when purchasing dog food and treats. They offer a treat of the month, which gives you (actually your dog) the opportunity to try one of their natural treats. We’ve purchased the grain-​free pumpkin pie poppers for our guy while they were on sale and plan on stopping in before the end of the year for this month’s treat. If you sign up for their email newsletter, you can get 10% off your next online order.

When you start shopping for you dog in a boutique, then you know you have gone too far. But how far is far enough when said dog or cat is part of your family. Apricot has been part of my reviews when it comes to checking out Pet-​friendly establishments.
Muttropolis is what we calll human-​friendly environment. They usually have a stock of the latest dog or cat couture. I admit that when Apricot was a puppy, we lavished him with the latest sweater or treat or toy. Bought him nice collars and leashes. But as the budget grew thin and realizing he doesn’t care whether he is wearing something from Muttropolis or Petco or Target, we stopped making major buying sprees at places like Muttropolis.
Muttropolis has a nice friendly staff, organizes groups online (dog park online without the mess of dogs at each other) and even organizes dog adoptions, dental cleaning and breed get togethers. I know the pricing is steep but for those who can afford it, they should be able to get what they want for their dog.
After the initial ga-​ga period for dressing up your dog fades, you realize that you check out the sale items and other bargains you can get. Muttropolis has several branches and I often visit both the La Jolla one before taking Apricot to La Jolla Cove or Solana Beach where both areas are dog friendly.
Muttropolis is also online to sell their products, the best sales are after holidays. So if you don’t mind getting the bunny rabbit costume after easter or the Xmas outfit for next year in January, you can still find yourself saving. It’s also nice to see other dog breeds, we just saw a Wheaten terrier last visit that was 5 months old and twice or three times bigger than poor Apricot (who is on the middle age…5 yrs old).
I recommend Muttropolis for window shopping and maybe a small gift for your family. As long as you know your limits, feel free to shop here anytime.

Probably one of the best pet boutiques I’ve been in. It’s so coincidental because I’ve been on this website so many times and to stumble upon the actual store was awesome! The staff is super friendly and we even struck up a conversation about our own kids… I mean dogs.
I bought the following:
–Z Ridge dental chew bone in cranberry $ 2.99
–Red Barn small filled bone in peanut butter $ 5.99
–Gulpy pet water dispenser $ 10.99
They have a variety of middle and high-​end products. They have some affordable leashes and collars that cost $ 20 – 40 but I’ve seen WAY pricier for much uglier products at other places. But aside from these, they have the high high end stuff too which I probably couldn’t afford. Nonetheless, having a diverse group of products is great.
They also have reallyyyyyyy cute custom dog tags!!!
