All 4 Pets

I love this place. Their prices are reasonable and it’s great to be able to get pet supplies at a mom and pop shop still. Also they are one of the few pet stores that offers live feeder mice, I hate feeding my snake the frozen ones.

Happened in on this busting at the seams animal feed and play store while having my tires fixed just a few doors down. All 4 Pets offers a HUGE array of pet feeds and those hard to find accessories. Reasonably priced with a friendly and helpful staff, this location is set in the City Center and makes for a quick in and out shopping trip for your fur baby or reptilian friend that needs that specialized care not found at the big name stores. Easy to miss if you’re not looking for it it sits squarely between Best Buy and Discount Tire across the street from the Santee Trolley Square Town Center.

Been here a couple of times and while I like the reasonable prices on bully sticks and sometimes dog treats, I just cant deal with the incredibly RUDE service. I’ve tried being nice but the last time I was in here I reached out expecting the owner to hand me my change but instead he tossed the change on the counter and my money went floating all over. Cool. Its ok, Ive got pretty quick reflexes and none of it made it to the floor. I like to support my fellow local business owners but I wont return here.

Awful customer service. The owner and his daughter are rude as hell. It is not a friendly store. When you ask a question they seem to be bothered instead of helpful. They can’t carry a conversation because they’re attitudes are so awful. The only good thing about this place is their prices… which was the only reason I continued to go. Also their workers are not knowledgable about anything. I called one day to see if they carried a vaccine for my dog. I said the name of the vaccine at least 6 times and the girl on the phone was like yeah totally for sure we have that. I went to go get this vaccine and told her what I needed, she grabbed it and I paid. I should have double checked it but didn’t. I got home and it was the wrong vaccine. I called the store to tell them what happened and what I asked for, they said, oh well we don’t carry that vaccine. They basically told me that’s too bad, they won’t refund it because it’s my fault I didn’t look before I left. I won’t be going back unless I absolutely have to save money.

Shopping for a pet is second only to shopping for a kid. Or a best friend. Inventory here reaches to every manner of pet from dog to cat to bird to you name it.
Actually you name it was in a huge glass, heated cage at the front cashier’s counter. A 16 year old green iguana, 6 feet long, with a full, fresh fruit dinner dish, blinked back at customers. He was sweet, nodding back when the clerk nodded, and stretching with eyes closed when she rubbed his head and cheeks. I hope he gets to be off work in a more restful place for lizards. And I’m not even a reptile lover.
We found plenty of dog toys to chose from. Stock is marked with red price tags. That’s a funny, not too subtle psychological trick to make buyers think they’re getting a sales deal. No matter, I found a cute little wrap for a doggie stuck in the 100 year Northern cold of 2015.

So glad to have found A4P. My boy Buddy loves the Stella & Chewy’s Frozen Morsels. Thing is, no one in nearly a 20 radius sells it and when I do find it, it’s $ 7-​$ 8 more a bag. These folks are happy to special order it and I have it in usually a few days. Once, when it was unavailable from their supplier, Michelle called me a week later asking if I’d like to try to order again — what service! This time it was in stock and was able to get me two bags.
Happy to have them in the neighborhood and would wholeheartedly recommend them to my pet loving friends & neighbors!

I prefer independent stores over chains. I don’t live in Santee, but will come here if I’m in town.
Every month, they have a special on dog food, it’s one of the higher-​end brands such as Blue Buffalo. Additionally, they run a monthly drawing, such as $ 50 GC for a local restaurant. It’s usually in association with that month’s monthly food special, so I’m cool with that. They have a frequent buyer program.
I agree there’s one girl working there who has a less than helpful attitude, but everyone else is nice.
I used to occasionally buy my crickets here when I had my beardie, priced on par with Petco.
The iguana is worth a trip alone, I wish I could hold him. He’s big and cool.
Decent selection of dog and cat food, especially high-​end. I like the broken dog treat specials, usually a dollar or two per bag. I often break them up at home anyway.

Wandered in because we wanted to look at the iguana. Stayed for the dog treats. We ended up buying some raw bones for our dogs as treats. We also bought a couple Bully sticks. All were very reasonably priced and excellent quality. Our dogs loved them!
If we’re in Santee and looking for pet products, we’ll stop in again. Love that iguana. He’s so skeptical!

You will find things at All 4 Pets that you won’t find anywhere else. Over the years I have bought crickets for frogs, mice for snakes, food and treats for guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I really like that I can buy 1 tube of flea treatment instead of a box of 3 or 4.

Avoid the generic big box experience of the two other pet stores in Santee and shop at a store with so much personality that a giant iguana will meet you at the front counter!
Our family of three dogs, two cats, and two hamsters have been shopping here for years. The staff has always been extremely helpful and knowledgable. They can answer questions and offer useful advice. Michelle helped us select food and treats as we diagnosed a cat’s allergy. We now special order a brand of cat food that they normally do not stock. She orders us our own bag monthly, so when we come by to restock on supplies, our bag is waiting with other custom orders. In the past, they have also special ordered extra scented Jolly Balls for us to give as gifts.
We love trying new brands of healthy canned food and stock up during monthly promotions. Our monthly shopping list includes:
–Nature’s Best cat litter
–Avoderm cat food – special order
–canned cat & dog food (Tikki is our favorite brand, but often buy the specials)
–hamster food & treats
–hamster bedding & little alfalfa houses
–dog rawhides & various meaty treats
–dental milkbones
–cat treats
–broken bone bags for only $ 1

Service is okay. They have the dog food I need. They have a cool selection of dog toys. Their prices are okay. They meet my doggie needs. So I come here…

First off, I don’t really care if it’s a chain or a small business, when it comes to a pet store, my focus is my dog.
I originally started coming here for a new food I was switching my dog to. They were the only carriers in Santee, and they had reasonable prices.
Honestly, I don’t love this place, but I don’t dislike it. The staff is hit or miss: sometimes they completely ignore me, and other times they’re nice, helpful, and pleasant. I do feel that when my dog is with me in the store, that I get more of the former response; like they’re annoyed I brought my dog into a store catered for pets.
Overall I’m not wowed by anything there. I could care less about the service they give to me, but when it comes to my dog, at least PRETEND you like animals.

I desperately want to adore this place, I really do. They have a great selection of food and pet products and the staff is quite knowledgeable. If they don’t have what you are looking for they are willing to offer to order it.
The customer service needs an overhaul. Would it kill you to smile or be friendly? If it will by all means continue what you’re doing. When I come into a small business I expect the employees to be personable. Not too much to ask, is it? On every occasion that I have been in this store the staff is not rude by any means but they just don’t seem to be very happy, just going through the motions.
I actually don’t mind paying a bit more to support a small business, especially in Santee, where everyone is obsessed with big-​box, chain, franchise, cookie-​cutter BS. I would like to see this store thrive but it seems that I’m not the only customer noticing the personality problem here.

They have a lot of choices and items if you have specific needs for your pets, also good deals sometimes.
The 2 stars is for the crappy attitudes that the workers have there. I’ve been multiple times and they just have an attitude like they have better things to do and better places to be. I even came in once and the girls and a guy were talking about a «strap on» at a bachelorette party. I mean, I’m an adult and I can handle this talk but… it’s just innappropriate.

This is a great local business. I have three bearded dragons, two dogs and two cats, so I’m here a fair amount. The selection is very good, and if they don’t have something, they’ll order it for you. Much better than the other big box pet stores in Santee.

Wonderful, friendly little shop with personalized service. Will special order dog food for me as I have a finicky eater. Great variety of everything you need for your pet. Easy parking. Shop locally. P. S. I found some dried catfish skins here for my dog. They are wonderful and natural and she loves them. They are called BEAM.

Friendly service. Good prices.

I’ll always support local businesses over national retailers if the following criteria are met:
— close to home or work
— easy parking
— friendly services
— good selection
— competitive (doesn’t always have to be the cheapest) pricing
All 4 Pets meets all the criteria above! For the past 3 years, we buy dog food only from them and will buy other little stuffs here and there. The service is always friendly. Clerk will always ask if we need any assistance upon entering the store. If we say «no», we’ll then be left alone. Our dog food comes with a point gathering program requiring cutting out bar code from the bag. The clerk, no matter which one, always know what to do, without any reminder or instruction from us.

There’s a Petco and PetSmart on both sides of the street, and we opt for All 4 Pets whenever possible. They carry EVO brand foods (gluten-​corn-​soy-​grain-​and-​rice free!) as well as many, many other natural brands. They have such a huge toy and treat selection for all your pets, including a new cold case for raw pet food! The best is their friendly service and adorable mascot (see pictures). Love him!

This store has a lot of great products for animals that you can’t find anywhere else. I go there for my dog’s food because it’s close by and no one else really carries it. Plus they have a great iguana to look at.
The reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the girls behind the counter and their crappy customer service. I was struggling to carry over a full size bag of dog food to the counter. They didn’t even bother looking up for a second to ask if I needed help. On top of it I had to place it ON the counter. The chick at the register couldn’t bother looking over the counter for the price. They don’t scan bar codes or anything, they have a ghetto cash register! I didn’t need to break my back because of her lack of customer service. If I didn’t get my dog’s food there I would have given them 1 star and said a whole lot of other things about those two ‘lovely’ ladies.
Thanks for the slipped disk All 4 Pets!
