Who We Are

Pet Food Express is one of the country's leading independent pet food and supply retailers. With 46 stores located throughout  the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, Carmel and Sacramento. Our corporate offices, Pet Food University, and distribution center are all located in Oakland, California.  

We love pets! It is the glue that unites our company. Employees and customers are welcome to bring their well-behaved pets to our stores. As part of our commitment to animal welfare, we have helped find homes for over 60,000 homeless animals through Norcal Pet Adoptions and we work closely with and materially support numerous local SPCAs and pet rescue organizations. Additionally, we sponsor adoptions, low cost vaccination clinics, and dog training classes at most of our stores. Our state-of-the-art Self-Service Pet Washes provide a unique and useful service for our customers. We truly try to be a welcome asset to each of the local communities that we serve!

We strive to provide the highest quality pet foods and supplies at competitive prices along with personal and knowledgeable service to help you take the best care of your pet. We want you and your pets to be happy with all of your purchases at Pet Food Express, so we stand behind our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee! Company owners, Michael & Mark, are always available to speak with customers and staff. They take great pride and a hands-on interest in the quality of all aspects of the business.

Customers are truly #1

All retailers make this claim but how many of them actually live it?  We see our customers as people, not just as wallets.  We know that you love your pets as we love ours so we discover and honor the needs and wants of each individual that visits us.  Shop with us and you will see that we offer a different environment in which to shop for your special friends.  In order to be effective in this, we educate and train our employees more than any other pet retailer in the U.S. but more than anything else, it is our employees’ love and passion for pets that sets them apart and inspires them to do whatever it takes to earn your trust and make you happy.
