California Pet Center

Very nice pet store just off the 101 in Woodland Hills. Has 2 dedicated parking spots or you can park on the street. It’s a small shop but has high quality products and is well organized. A good selection of new toy styles and brands. I appreciated that the guy behind the counter didn’t bother me while I browsed, but was available right away when I had questions. Their prices were on the high side, but I was happy with my purchase so that’s what counts in the end. I would stop here again next time I’m in the area.

I feed my kids (2 tcup yorkies) only the best quality food (Stella, ziwi peak, etc), this store has the highest quality food at low prices. The owner has been there for 31 years, sweetest man ever. I will be a regular. He has so much knowledge on everything he sells. If your dog doesn’t like the food, bring it back n he will swap it out no charge. Highly recommend checking this place out. Perfect location on Ventura Blvd. I left a happy mommy :)

After living in the area for nearly 15 years, I finally stopped in to see what they were all about. I was above «pleasantly surprised» when the staff (Howard?) engaged me in conversation regarding my pet AND generously provided samples of food & treat items to check out. They are all about offering quality made, healthful items, and have only the best intentions and genuine concerns for pets and their owners. Definitely make your way in, for the betterment of you and yours.
Thank you, and see you again, soon!

Thank You Unilocalers and Thank You Howard. I have been going to the wrong place for way too long. Great store with excellent products and reasonable prices. I found a spot out front and fed the meter, but I saw that there is ample parking in the back. Howard is extremely knowledgeable and it is obvious that he loves what he does. He’s been helping people and their pets for decades.
He had everything I needed and more — free advice, suggestions for other options, and even a treat at the register. To top it off, a real celebrity came in and bought stuff for his dog while I was there. Only in LA, right? I’ll be back often and I’m not going anywhere else.

I have been coming to California Pet Center for over 20 years. Howard has advised me on pet food, dog care, training, treats and toys. My Dog owe his shiny coat, lack of fleas, and beautiful manners to Cal Pet. This store is very clean and odorless!
It is close by and very convenient! Everything you need is right there.

I’ve been meaning to write a review, but just haven’t had a chance. I found this place through Unilocal and everyone’s reviews — so thank you.
I have two dogs (cocker/​shih tzu mix) who are now 9 years old. They have sensitive stomachs/​vomiting and I thought I was feeding them good food — the limited ingredient/​no grain stuff from the big pet stores.
I stopped in the store and spoke with Colton (apologies if I got his name wrong), who was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient. He spent close to 30 minutes with me — asking questions about my dogs and reviewing all my food options. This was maybe 6 months ago and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since. Also I should share that one of my dogs has vomited only once which is amazing since this was a fairly regular occurrence.
Really thankful they are here and also need to add that there is parking behind the store.

Love this place. Owner is very informative friendly and willing to help! They carry quality items and you can order in advance if you like to make sure your items are always stocked ! A+

They are very nice and helpful here and carry the best dog food around (healthy, real, made in the U. S, no crap, etc etc).
They help you out to the car when needed too.
Now that I found this place, I don’t have to shop online & pay for shipping. Grocery stores and petsmart or petco don’t carry good healthy dog food.
This is my fave place to do my dog food shopping. Thanks guys!

We were actually eating at Fat Burger when we saw this little store a cross the street. We decided to stop in to see if they carry a food I haven’t been able to find anywhere except online. The owner told me they don’t carry it but suggested another brand called «Honest Kitchen» at first I was hesitant because I read very little about this food and also price but when I saw it will make three months worth of food it made sense. Also the owner told me if our dogs dont like it we can return it. Its only been two days since I have given the dogs the food but so far it seems like a hit. I do see the dogs becoming more active and my second dogs #2 has become normal. No more pudding poo (sorry for the grossness) I used to shop alot at Petsmart but there is a big difference in the experience between a huge corporate pet store and a local mom and pop. I think this shop only carries higher end brands, more holistic, more whats really meant for dogs. I am really glad we stopped by.

Howard and his staff do an amazing job of carrying only the best products and providing fantastic service. My dog training/​walking company, Pawsitive Walks was having an event and I needed some things very last minute. Howard had everything that I needed in stock and helped ensure that my event was successful. THANK YOU!

Great store! Been there forever. Only top quality dog food. Howie is very knowledgable. Will never go anywhere else!

A bit pricey, but worth it to not shop at petco. Also they have all of the really good dog food, and the really good raw refrigerated bones.

We just adopted a rescue rat terrier mix and I was looking for an alternate place to shop, other than Petco or Petsmart.
Glad I found CPC on Unilocal.The owner was helpful and gave my little one several samples to try. The store is very well organized and has everything one might need. The store is easy to miss but it is practically across from Noah’s Bagels.
Our very picky eater just loved one of the freeze dried food samples, so we are definitely coming back for more and of course, to support local business. Owner said they’ve been there for 30 years!
Please support!

Great shop to buy dog food! treats and other items, very friendly prompt service, I just moved to the area and I am so glad I found such a great spot, my dog left the store happy with a full tummy from the all the treats he got while I was shopping.

It is a pleasure coming to this store, the owner is very professional and is happy to spend time to answer any of your questions. Great selection and very clean.

Very gracious and knowledgable. I went for a little token gift for a neighbor’s pet and the owner knew just what to recommend. I bought one bag of treatsnfor the neighbor and one for my fur babies and my babes loved them. As an added bonus, the treats are made in the USA! Very clean little shop.

I am so glad we found this place! Moving from Scottsdale, I had looked for a new place to get my furry baby’s food. I went to a few places, that were nice. but just didn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy. I read about California Pet Center here on Unilocal… thank you so much! This is the best place ever! Both Howard, and his son are the best. I came in asking a bunch of questions. We have my baby on a grain free, all natural food, but I was wondering if I should change food. After about 10 min, and a lot of wonderful information, we stayed on the same food.
We went to the counter, where Howard was, to check out. What a wonderful man. He chatted with us for a while while ringing us up. I felt really great about this store.
We went back yesterday to get more food. Howard was there alone this time. I asked if he had vitamin E for my dog. He asked why, and I told him my yellow lab was shedding his weight in fur every day. We discussed the supplement, and then he GAVE us a new treat he said may work better. HUH? Yep. a cod skin. It sounds gross, so I knew my little man would love it. He did, and I can feel more oil on his coat.
Who goes that extra mile anymore? Not many places. This store, and the owner, really care about the pets they serve. It is a breath of fresh air to find customer service like this. This is the ONLY store I will go to for my furry baby. Just walk in for yourself… you will leave with a smile, if nothing else.

My Dad found this place a while ago but I just recently visited this place for myself.
This is the cleanest pet store I have ever seen. Pristine windows and polished floors, everything in its place and organized perfectly! It was really easy to find everything that I needed for my Puppers.(My little Basset Hound Baby who I love more then most people… All people.)
The owner of the store is really friendly and is always willing to go over products and suggestions which is really helpful. He knows my puppy by name and I’m pretty sure the same thing applies to most of not all of his other customers.
I adore the little cookie display near the cash register. They have little white chocolate covered cookies that look like little hot dogs… With little mustered lines on the weenie. ^_​^ So cute and lots of other cookies to choose from.
Its a small business doing well for itself and I hope it continues to do so.

I will only shop at California Pet Center for my pet’s dietary needs. I trust the owner, Howard, completely. When I bought some new food for my dog that she didn’t love, he took it back and replaced it with no problem. I’d much rather give my business to Howard than the big chain pet store across the street. The folks at California Pet Center know what they’re talking about and give their customers the utmost attention. They only carry high-​quality, healthy and safe products for pets. I can’t imagine shopping elsewhere now that I’ve had such great service.

My vet recommended California Pet Center to assist me with my Greyhound’s specific needs and I could not be more thrilled. No animals are sold, only high quality food and all sorts of other necessary and fun pet supplies. I met Howard, the owner and am thrilled to finally have found a local, independent friendly expert. Good prices and great, well organized products. Display with beautifully freshly baked dog treats. So cool.
Love this place and can highly recommend it.
