Kahoots Pet Store

Wonderful store! Plenty of variety of high quality food, toys, and products. The staff were so kind and knowledgeable and they even helped me out to my car! Fantastic pet shop!

Helpful staff, well-​stocked. Even had bunny specific toys (not a lot of pet stores have that).
Looks like a sprouts/​trader joes inside.

I really didn’t want to like Kahoots. When Kahoots moved in, they eventually stole the competition and put my regular, mom-​and-​pop pet store out of business. It took awhile to warm up to the idea of shopping at Kahoots, but my pit needed food and he only eats Orijen, which Kahoots carries. The store has a great selection of everything from treats to toys. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

My dog loves their Premium Grain-​Free Beef and Boar dog food. We’ve been buying it for 5 years now. Store is clean and organized. And most importantly the staff is very friendly and helpful.

A pet and people experience like no other. Every Kahoots location has the most friendly and knowledgeable staff. They all have working knowledge because of personal experience with their own pets. The stores are clean and organized making it easy to shop. Support local and feel like family when you step into Kahoots.

Everyone here is very nice and knowledgable about their products. My dog loves it here and they always give her a treat to try :) They have their own brand of limited ingredient dog food at a reasonable price. They also always bring your bag of dog food to your car for you. Overall, awesome store with great employees and great prices.

Two words.
G pig.
Yeah. Ya hurrrd me.
I’d like to say I come in here to buy treats for my pups but truth be told — I love staring at their g pigs.
That’s what my mom calls guinea pigs. Hence why I call them that.
I was originally peeved at this store (when they first moved in this strip mall few years ago) as they probably bankrupted the small mom and pop pet store that resided in the same mall. Not that I was a fan of that mom and pop store. It’s just the whole David and Goliath thing. You know. I’m weird like that.
But I’ve been coming into this Kahoots location for some time now and I have to say that the employees are so friendly and knowledgeable. The pet treats here also seem more affordable than their personal Goliath competitor (hello Petco and Pet Smart).
The store is always super clean and organized as well.
I stopped in today after lunch because, um, I kinda *mentally* adopted a g pig that I’ve been eyeing for several months. Poor «Patches» (that’s what the store, not me ok, named him) has been there for several months and I feared the worse for him. I wuv him.
I was distraught when I didn’t see Patches today. The awesomingly amazing girls that work here (Mai Ling and Robin) took the time to explain what happened to Patches (he went back to his Holistic breeder). Mai Ling also went out of her way to educate me about g pigs too (costs of owning one, their diet, maintenance). I was blown away by her knowledge and just over all genuine care she had for animals in general.
So there ya have it. My diatribe about g pigs. The End.
Oh I did buy two dog treats for the pups. Only $ 1.68 for each bone. Thanks Mai Ling for going over almost each dog treat with me!

Really friendly staff and they helped when I was the new owner of my pup. I felt like a first time mom, haha. Unsure of what was good for her and they helped me without seeming like they only wanted to sell me more products. Plus they alway give Honey a treat :)

Fun place to get my bird and dog treats. Friendly staff and great service.

We get natures balance from here sometimes. Sales people are very nice and will help bring the dog food out to your car. Kids like to come here when they have pet adoption days. It’s usually on Saturdays I think.

Kahoots in general are fantastic, and this location is no exception. They carry most of the best foods on the market, their employees are very informative and have excellent customer service skills (a rare thing in San Diego in general).
Even though this place is further from my house than the big chain stores, I always go to Kahoots for the better selection and service.
When they didn’t have the product I wanted in stock, they ordered it and told me the exact day it would get there, and put it aside for me.

A very clean store with a wide variety of items. Sales on a few things from time to time. Staff interested in helping you. What i didn’t like was how high the prices are. They really cost nearly two times as much as you would pay at other pet stores for some items. I was looking for a pet bed for my new-​to-​me dog, and their beds were really expensive. They do want to help, so I don’t want to rule them out. I’d come when I need things and don’t want to go out of my way. I think their food is very high quality.

I feed my dog organic, free-​range, natural foods without too many additives since he’s breaking the bank with his allergies! They have a nice selection of that here at Kahoots.
Customer Service: 5 stars — the staff are always helpful and attentive when we come in.
Selection: 5 stars — the shelves are well stocked and they have a nice variety; a bit different from Petsmart.
Display/​Organization of Merchandise/​Store Cleanliness: 5 stars — much nicer than other pet stores we’ve shopped at that’s why we keep coming back (on top of the Customer Service and Selection)!

Not the nicest place I’ve been to. Shallow, not genuine service. They don’t carry many items, but they have various brands of dog food. This is a place for people who want to spend unnecessary more than they need to. I love my dog, and I am perfectly fine with going to Petco, Petsmart, and Target.

I was so excited for a new pet store to come to PQ… What convenience! But boy I have never been to a Kahoots before and I won’t be going back. This place is at least 10%, or more, more expensive than Petco. I would pay for the the convenience but they don’t even carry my common cat food… Sigh off to Petco I go.

The people were really mean and the prices were wayy too high…

I love this pet store. The staff is knowledgeable of their products and always very friendly. The prices are also comparable and on some items, cheaper than PetSmart and Petco. I get the Wellness Core Original Formula for Dogs and this is the cheapest place to purchase it.

Glad Kahoots moved closer to Mira Mesa. The associates are extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Associates provided me and my husband with a lot of «tips» for our puppy’s upcoming arrival regarding food and chewy treats. We are excited for our American Bully to arrive so we can visit the store again with him!!!

When your dog pees in the store twice and the associates were super understanding about it, you know you’ve come to a good place.
I’m a huge fan for quality and Kahoots has got it. Good service, good dog food and cheap toys. That’s all I need.
The associates are always eager to help and very friendly. Additionally, they’re very savvy about the products they sell, which is pretty cool. I didn’t even need my bag of dog food carried out, but they did it any way.
Lastly, they give away zip-​lock samples stuffed with their natural Kahoots brand dog food. It’s suitable for all ages and my pooch was a huge fan of it.

I’ll keep this short and sweet for once.
It’s nice that a full service pet store is now a little closer to me however I’m not sure that I’m fully committed to them yet.
As with many retail pet stores, the interior is bright, clean and provides many options to the average pet owner and to the type of pet you own.
The staff here is friendly, outgoing and seem knowledgeable.
The only reason I cannot give more stars is because the addition of this place will possibly mean the decline of a mom and pop pet store in the same area and I always have a soft spot for the underdog.
