What people have asked about this business.

A friend in La Jolla brought up (in LA) some of your biscuit treats for my dog in LA. My dog loved them. Are there any stores in LA that sell your treats? If not, is it possible to order your treats online or by email? Thanks.

Hi James, Sorry, we're not sure which biscuit treats you are talking about. We sell many professionally vetted brands. We're a small business here in the Village of La Jolla with only 1 location, so we don't do any online ordering or delivery. Come check us out next time you are in La Jolla. Have a great holiday weekend! Ciao! Bella Woof

5/5

Just started puppy kindergarten and love it so far! I really appreciate the structured setting, handouts and education into behavior. It’s a nice small setting and I feel relaxed knowing my puppy is safe there. I suspect we will learn a lot too based on the class format as well as the education and training held by the owner/trainer. And its a super cute store/facility which is a nice element.

I was having a great day until I walked into this store. The owner was so rude and pushy. It was obvious that all he cared about was to sell the products that they wanted to and not what YOU need.

Watch out the owner will not give you correct information about the type of food. He is feeding your dog and there are no returns or exchanges. I requested to buy solid food for my dog and instead, I received smoochy food suggested by the owner, when I came back to exchange it, he did not exchange it or accepted his suggestion. I requested Store credit and he also denied the store credit. I suggest you all to check the unconditional exchange or return policy before you buy in the store. I do not suggest purchasing anything in the store. Zero costumer service . I would never go back.

I went in there today and the male owner was so condescending and rude that I will not be entering again. He tried to push antlers and horns on me (when that wasn't a purchase I was looking for and was talking to another customer) when I told him my veterinarian did not recommend them he went on a tirade about veterinarians not knowing anything about dog's teeth or nutrition and his wife with a bachelor's degree in animal biology and being a dog trainer knowing more and being the authority. I planned on making several purchases but left. I won't support a store that feeds into antiscience bias and tells people not to follow medical recommendations.

Visited this store in passing and was appalled by the male owner. Extremely condescending, unprofessional, no customer service experience I presume, and made it a point to interrupt everything you were speaking on with a pet he’s never met. Lots of assumptions, one being my “amateur diagnosis” of an issue not knowing I work in the dog industry as a trainer and that the pet in question has seen a vet regarding the “amateur” problem. Absolutely will not be back here, hope you change the way you interact with your retail clients because I couldn’t imagine speaking to my training clients that way.
