Kahoots Pet Store

I discovered this store when the gardener showed up at my door with an abandoned 3 – 4 day old kitten. They had everything I needed to keep that hand size baby alive. The staff is always very friendly and helpful offering useful information. The store is very clean and organized. I definitely recommend giving this store a try.

Love Kahoots! I wish there was one closer to my home.
What I love about this place is the variety! It has all the high quality pet food and more! The best part it’s always super organized and neat so finding what you are looking for is a breeze.
The staff is always friendly and helpful and the store is always clean. The pricing is fair given its all top quality food.
I also like the animals that they do sell here (even though I’m against pet stores selling animals) they look healthy and happy (as happy as one could living in a petshop).
Keep up the great product and friendly staff at RB Kahoots!

So I’ve been shopping around a little bit at the different local pet stores that aren’t the crapshow known as Petco and it seems that every time I walk in here there’s always something I want to buy. HUGE inventory of dog food, treats, and toys. Prices are generally average compared to other places; some are higher, some are lower.
THE DOG FOOD: A whole wall is dedicated just to dog food. On one hand I like that they carry a wide variety of brands an flavors. On the other, some of those brands really suck. I guess it’s a cool option to have for people who buy those brands but eh. My golden is currently on Acana and I love that they carry something like 7 different flavors of it. Perfect for a rotational diet. Same with the Orijen. They also have an ample supply of raw.
THE TREATS: Another whole wall dedicated to treats. Again, some are good, some not so much. Always check the ingredients panel and know what you’re putting into your dog. Those Orijen treats are the bomb!
THE TOYS: Huge aisle of toys of all different shapes and sizes. Always gonna find something to occupy Dog.
So yeah. It’s a cool little store. I like.

This is a great pet store, and is a family chain with 16 stores. Clean, with a big selection. Convenient location. Helpful staff. Dry food a buck higher, or a buck lower, than the chains, depending.
Americans talk a good game about supporting small businesses, but then they lockstep over to the giant chains. I want to support a store that has great products and treats their employees like people.
People can be emotional about matters concerning their pets, but as a long-​time pet owner I am loyal to this store because they have good options for my pets. They can be proactive about sales, but small businesses have to be.
I buy all of my pet supplies here. The Poway store is also great.

Came here on 9÷1÷15 around 1 pm. My 60 pound dog eats Innova Natures Table venison and peas formula. This product is now discontinued. My dog can’t eat eat potatoes, salmon, chicken, rice, turkey, pumpkin or duck. A match was hard to find. We found something close and she recommended that after I wean her for about a weak that I should keep her on the new food for at least 2 months. She said the 2 mos. would make sure the old food is completely out of her system even if she develops a soft or runny stool. I said two months seemed like a very long time to have my dog have liquid stools. She then recommended I try goats milk as my rescue dog may not have been fed by the mother for as long as she should have been before separated from her mom. I said she is two years old and that ship has long since passed. I said that it would be difficult to see if my dog developed a reaction to the new food or to the goats milk if I introduced two new products at the same time so I would not do that. Then she recommended raw dog food as that is what dogs are meant to eat. It would cost me over $ 300 a month to feed her and I new there were less expensive alternatives, I passed on that too. Then the more bizarre comment came as she recommended that I pick three days a month and not feed my dog for those three days. She does this with her dog to cleanse her system. I almost asked her if she did that to herself, but I restrained myself.
I would not recommend this store. See above reasons.

This is by far is the worst Kahoots I have been to. If I ever go to this location, it is because I need to pick up dog food and don’t want to drive to the PQ location. I did this yesterday and even timed myself to see how long it would take. It took me a little over 11 minuets to pick up dog food, treats, and two tennis balls. In that time frame I was approached by four sales associates and was followed around by the fourth one, who made comments on everything I was picking up. Mind you, this is a small store and i was one of two customers in the store. All four sales ass. KNEW I had already been approached and acknowledge and that I was NOT interested in help. This is not good customer service this is STALKING. Also they seem to think they are veterinarians and know your dog better than you do. I always do my research on anything I give my dog and everything they have ever recommended to me has been horrible for dogs. DO NOT LISTEN to these sales associates if you have to shop here, they do not know what they are talking about, even though they yack their heads off and do not understand the word NO. I recommend traveling the extra ten minutes to the PQ location, they greet you and than let you do your own thing. This location however is a psychotic mess.

Clean, well lit, well organized. Just like the other Kahoots stores I’ve visited. I’m definitely a fan of this place more than other…*ahem* pet stores… yeah you know which ones I’m talking about. It’s just got that small time feel but still having everything you could need.

This is my FAVORITE Kahoots so far.
About 6 – 7 months ago I was looking for a hamster. I went to the Kahoots: Rancho Penasquitos, Poway and Escondido. The reason why this location ended up being my favorite was because they have the hamsters out in the open where you can interact with the hamster your interested without being hoovered over.
Picking a hamster and testing it’s temperament is a bit difficult to do on a whim and I like that I was able to take my time holding and watching them before making a final decision. I really hope that they keep the hamsters in the same spot because I am interested in getting more hamsters from them in the future.
The staff there seemed acquainted with the hamster and they claim to handle all hamsters daily. They even had stories on the hamster I ended up buying from them. They didn’t try to sell me anything else I didn’t want or need so that was good. I actually came back the day after for a hamster I had seen the day before. Once I got there to buy her, a younger female staff member said that she was very happy that I came back for her and was happy that I was buying the hamster.
So far the hamster I choose hasn’t bitten me to this date and is a pretty good hamster. She does have her odd moments but I’m happy for the laughs she brings me. I believe the hamsters are hand picked by the owner from a private breeder. They don’t hold hamsters but you can always phone in to see what they have. However, I highly recommend one chooses a hamster based on behavior and personality rather than colors.
I have yet to go back to talk to the staff and thank them for my hamster since the location is miles out of my way. However, if you guys are reading this, I would like to thank you for my little Kit Kat. I love her and she has a forever home with me. Oh yes, and she is extremely spoiled. I hope to come by soon to thank you guys in person.
I look forward to buying more hamsters from you in the future! Don’t change a thing! You guys are doing great! :)

This review is for all bird enthusiasts out there. I’ve been raising birds for a long time and have purchased them from many pet stores in the past, but when it comes time to buy a new friend for your home, Kahoots in RB is a great place to get one. The birds I’ve purchased from this store are healthy, well adjusted, and have had a long life span. The employees are helpful and friendly and they usually have a pretty good selection of animals (birds) to choose from. The drawback however is that this chain is a bit on the pricey side, not for the birds, but for the supplies. Overall I’d recommend buying your new friend from here.

This is a wonderful, spacious and friendly pet supply store. I always feel comfortable walking in here. Super friendly staff always giving great advice about food and supplies. Their prices are competitive as well! I will always come here.

I went in simply to buy a small bag of puppy food so I could transition my new puppy to the food I wanted her on. I found the staff that helped me rude and gave me false information about there products and told me there is no need to transition food as long as it has the same protein in it. First time in the store and sad to say but ruined my experience when they gave me smerks and laughed while I walked away.

The staff at this location is one of the best staff I have ever come across. So helpful and always talking to you like you are part of the team! Great and friendly!

I came here, because it was close to my 24hr gym and didn’t think this would be one of my two to go pet stores. The selection seems to be a lot more than the other store, but they have other great things I can talk about. I love the fact that they carry healthy items here. Almost seem like the trader joes of pet foods. This place is the best and I’ve even gotten samples of my dog food here (Fromm)

Great place, friendly and helpful staff. Got all my hamsters and hamster supplies here. Also have a wide variety of dog treats. Great place to goto if you need any supplies for your pet.

Staff is very knowledgable and the animals are taken care of. Animals aren’t overstocked and very healthy. They try to get most of their animals from local breeders and most animals are tame when you purchase them. I have purchased 3 hamsters from this pet store and all have been friendly with none or little nipping. The prices are a little high on certain items. But overall great pet store!

I go to this store because it is convenient. The staff is friendly but I get frustrated that every time I go to check out I have to have a conversation about their dog food. I am happy with the dog food that I give my dog and get tired of the same drill each time.

Awesome. My fault — bought the wrong cat food; realized this at home when I opened the bag. Kahoots happily exchanged it for what my cat really needed. Outstanding customer service!

I really like their customer service here. The staff is always willing to help answer any questions, and they’re always friendly and some are knowledgeable. Their prices are not always outstanding but there is a Rancho Bernardo community magazine every month we receive and they offer 20−30% off purchases of 25 – 30 bucks or more, that’s always useful if you’re out to purchase in bulk. :) the only think I really don’t like is their store hours. If you open at 9, you should close at 9, not 8. I think 8 is way too early but it is Rancho Bernardo and pretty much everything closes at 8. I just don’t like having to drive to a Petco to purchase one item in a rush.

Favorite local pet store to buy our Wellness food and dog squeekers!
*I always check the local COUPONS because there is always 20% off one item somewhere in my junk mail which is perfect for saving on big bags of dog food!
* Staff is always friendly too and they give free samples of their dog food and cat food brand which we appreciate time and time again!

The people who work here are awesome!
I am proud foster mommy to the cutest little boxer girl in the world and she was having allergic reactions to her food. I had found out that most «bully breed» dogs tend to not digest corn, wheat and soy very well. So then I spent a good 20 minutes looking at the ingredients for every single bag of dog food in my local grocery store… they all had at least 2 of these ingredients!!!
Kahoots dog food is about $ 2 more than the dog food I used to get Ali and none of those ingredients she is allergic to are in their food. Worth the price for sure! The staff gave me a large bag full of the food for free (it seems too big to call it a «sample») just to see how Ali like it. She LOVES their dog food!
She also loves coming into the store! We had to get her a sweater at winter time (because boxers have the thinnest hair ever and she was freezing all the time) and the staff loved on her, gave her treats and helped me find the perfect sweater for her size.
The staff knows what they’re talking about, truly love animals, and their products make my dog happy! :)
