Community members don’t have to make an appointment to receive these services; just show up to a local Pet Food Express.

Low Price Guarantee
Pet Food Express states it will beat competitors’ prices on an identical item. If the cost of the item is $10 or less, the company will beat the competitor's price by 10 percent. If the price of the item is more than $10, Pet Food Express will beat it by $1. However, the guarantee does not apply to Acana or Orijen brand foods. The product packaging, size, weight, and condition must all be identical to qualify.
The Bad
- Cannot Purchase Items Online
- Only Located in California
Cannot Purchase Items Online
One of the biggest downfalls to Pet Food Express is its lack of an online shopping feature. Pet owners can see what products are available and prices, but cannot purchase them online and have them delivered. This can be a major inconvenience for those who don’t live in close proximity to a store, those unable to leave home, or those who prefer the convenience of online shopping.
Only Located in California
Pet Food Express is solely available to those living in the Bay Area.
The Bottom Line
Pet Food Express is a useful pet product store for those living in the Bay Area. The company offers specific dog and cat food brands, and other small animal, reptile, and bird products. However, there is no way to purchase any of the products online, and the company does not have any retail locations outside of California.
