Unleashed by Petco

Out of ALL the Unleashed locations this is by far the best one. Everyone is always helpful, cheerful, and knowledgeable. Chris, the GM has helped me on more than one occasion and you can certainly tell he takes pride in his job. I have found other locations to be cold, unwelcoming, and unaccomodating. We spend about $ 400 per month on dog food, and they treat us as valued customers at Scripps. Even if it wasn’t closest to my house or we moved, I would gladly drive out of my way to go to this location only.

All of the associates at this location are particularly caring and kind. There isn’t a large turnover rate so you’re really able to create relationships with the team which makes this store feel like home.
They are fun, outgoing, sweet, and knowledgable. I wouldn’t take my pet to any other location because the team here really dedicates themselves to getting to know each pet who comes in.
The store itself is also really well maintained and clean. I like the new remodel and it is always a fun experience to shop here.

Like shopping at store because it has toys that regular Petco do not carry. Staff is always very friendly and eager to help.

Love shopping at this location … have found the sales personnel to be very professional and helpful. They carry the quality products that I want for my «fur kids», and with coupons and Pals Reward dollars, I find them very competitive in price. While this location may be smaller than some, I find everything I need to keep my «fur kids» healthy and happy!

Truthfully it’s a bit overpriced!
BUT the convenience it’s really what these stores are all about.
You don’t have to go find s big busy PETCO just to pick up a couple dog treats.
I’ve always been treated nicely here.
I also like that they have cat litter in bulk and the litter is way better then most brands!

This store is always clean & organized and well-​stocked, and the staff is consistently VERY friendly, attentive, genuine, and willing to help out if needed. Love the weekend dog/​cat adoption events out front. Oh and by the way buying Petco’s 2014 calendar was a GREAT investment and I’d recommend buying their future calendars. It has lots of FREE dog & cat food/​treat coupons in the back, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of calendars goes to Petco’s charity if I’m not mistaken. Great photos ea month too. Go Petco! Woof, mrrow.

The things I like about unleashed better than the regular Petco is that it’s like the Trader Joes of pet stores. It’s small. The people who work there are personable. They try to help you. It’s not too large that you can’t find what you want /​need nearly right away. Good for just regular ordinary stuff that you might need. They also offer classes here for you and your pet. Mostly for cats and dogs.

This isn’t my go-​to pet shop but I came here bc they were holding the low cost vaccination clinic here. Everything went smooth and best of all there was very little wait time! While I was waiting though I did slightly browse around at the items in store. The other Unilocalers are spot on! Service here is great and this would be the place to carry the specialty pet foods that you may need (specialty pet foods = more $$$ out of pocket). The items here were quite pricey, so I honestly wouldn’t come here to shop for my dog’s chew toys when I can easily go to target or Walmart and get them toys for $ 1-​$ 4 and my dog would be equally satisfied.

Expensive and not worth it, go online and get a better deal.

My friends should not leave me alone and unsupervised on pet adoption day. The puppies are too cute!!! The employees here are so helpful too!

Go to the regular Petco store if convenient for you, it’s 10 times larger and has everything you need.
This store is much smaller, but has a more personal feel with the workers.
They don’t have every food you’re looking for, but a decent amount if you’re in a hurry.
They have good coupons — I used a 20% off everything coupon on this visit!

Our family of three is now a family of five:) We just adopted two kittens and both my husband and I would like to give thanks to the store Unleashed, especially Mark! We left the store with a great deal of information and supplies for our two kittens. All of the staff were extremely nice and helpful. There was not one question unanswered.
TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO CARE FOR YOUR PET’S NEEDS!
Really appreciate you guys!

Their manager was very helpful when I first got my dog. He gave me information on their dog training classes and a pamphlet of items that I should be getting prior to getting my dog. It was very educational.
Their staff has always been very helpful, reliable, and memorable towards their customers (I’m talking about the dogs). One of guys showed me a few training tricks and recommended me some youtube websites. One of the female staff members spent a lot of time with me going over a dog’s nutrition and the different benefits of each brand. I learned a lot that day.
I highly recommend coming to this location. Everyone is super helpful and kind towards my dog. When I got my dog a harness, they made sure my dog was very comfortable. Also their staff are cuties if thats another incentive for you to go.

They don’t carry the Benniful brand of dog food either :(

Unleashed carries raw foods and perfect pet at some better prices than I have seen at pet markets. They also carry royal canin at a better price than petco.
Perfect Pet is a little pricey for us so I usually just get the party bites from the freezer section.
We definitely come here for the doggie foods because their prices are good. For other doggie things we’ll shop around (wee pads — target or walmart, pet accessories like beds /​toys — ross /​marshalls)

The Petco where I live in Mira Mesa doesn’t carry the brand MyPerfectPet food, so I used to have to drive all the way to Dirty Dogs to get my pups Boba & Thai their food. But for the past couple of months Dirty Dogs is always sold out. Then I found out that Unleashed by Petco at this location carries MyPerfectPet food. THANK GOODNESS!
The store is pretty small. I didn’t get to browse around much.

A nice place with very helpful staff! The place is not large like Petco but they have everything I need for my 2 fur babies. I’ve never been pressured into buying anything, but they are very helpful when you ask a question. I appreciate being asked if they can carry out that large bag of dog food, the other stores just ring you up & out you go!

It’s like 7 – 11 for my puppy.
It’s basically a mini Petco. They’ve got the essentials and a tad bit more. The service is always exceptional and their puppy treat bar has Tuesday Happy Hour (or Wednesday, I can’t remember).
Sure, they may not have that special brand of food or a specialized toy, but when it comes to the necessities, they’ve got it.

I first found out about this place because they had a booth at the Weiner Dog Races at the end of August they gave out $ 5 off coupons. I had to try it because I was running low on dog food. A friend recommends, I try «Solid Gold» for my 5-​year-​old dog. (Which by the way is made locally/​El Cajon) I knew exactly what I wanted and since «Solid Gold» is considered a specialty item, I knew it was going to be here. I walked right in and asked the sales people to point me in the right direction.
When I was checking out the sales people tried to up sale a Halloween Costume, I didn’t buy it. My dog HATES wearing clothing and I knew it was going to be a waste.
I walked in knowing what I wanted and walked out with something new for my dog to try.
PRO
— having specialty items
— less busy than PETCO
CON
— limited selection on animal products
— i hate when people try to up sale things I don’t need.
My overall experience was okay. Probably wouldn’t come back because I’ll just go to the headquarters in El Cajon to purchase «Solid Gold»

I’ve seen this place down in Hillcrest and now there is one here closer to my neighborhood. It’s brand new so of course it’s clean and well stocked. The two big brands I notice in here is Well-​ness and Natural Balance. I don’t buy any of these brands but if you do, this will be your place to come to. They seem to carry the whole line. I tend to stay away from products made in or material from China.
I bought a box of Earthbath butt wipes and a Kong Bone.
