Max

I would like to acknowledge my sincere gratitude in helping my Jack Russell Terrier, Max.

A month ago, when Max refused to eat, I was certain he would not survive. Max is twelve years old and has endured Addison’s disease for most of his life. When the vet assured us this new illness was not related to Addison’s but some other condition we continued with testing. As with us, and many of your animal loving customers, we did not want to continue with the extensive, expensive, and possible ongoing radiation treatments for our dog. With heavy hearts my husband and I chose to care for Max at home until the end. Since Max is always so near and dear to us, we decided to keep him close and comfortable.

That’s when I brought Max into Dexter’s Deli. You listened to my sad story, while offering various treats to coax Max into eating. You generously offered the newest samples o f things he might want to eat, supplements that might help -- we tried them, and incredibly these products are sustaining Max’s life! It’s hard to believe it, Max looks forward to his meals now, he has energy again, and is recovering remarkably! He loves the Honest Kitchen products.

Your kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication to animals is a testimony to my dog’s recovery and survival. From the bottom of my heart, and Max’s paw, thank you.

Your Friends,
Sandy and Max.

Bailee

Our dog Bailee is now close to 18 years old. He is a rescued part Chow mix. I have recently switched him to a raw diet, that I buy from your store. Mainly to help him remember to eat, he really wolfs it down! He stopped eating his kibble (too hard for him to chew I suspect). His energy level and the clarity of his eyes are much better.

When I first got my shelter kitty he had coccidia, giardia and ringworm. Even after all that cleared he still had horrible diarrhea. When we took him to the vet they said he had IBD and that many pet owners abandon their cats with this problem. I tried many foods and pet stores, on top of that fact many had no idea what I was talking about they did not have any food that worked for him. By chance one day I passed by Dexter's Deli and went in and spoke to Paige who was probably the most knowledgeable person I had ever spoken to about cats. She knew all about his condition and suggested Rad Cat raw chicken food. I knew nothing about it so she gave me samples, literature and even some transition food. She was amazing and so helpful. Within days he was regular and he is so healthy and strong now. The best part is that it is more affordable than the junk food I would have gotten at chain pet stores. Thank you Dexter's Deli. You ROCK!!!!! .

Thank you, Erin N. & Zach

Dexter's is the only place I can get varieties of my dog's favorite foods. The staff is also very helpful in finding items for my dog's special needs.

We have been coming to Dexter's Deli for years, and it's an awesome store! The staff is very knowledgeable and kind, the store is well stocked with the best stuff, and our dogs love going in for love and treats. Josh has always been super helpful, whether it is choosing dog food, collars, toys, etc.

Libby

Last year we lost our dear Doghter (daughter), Elsi to lymphoma. When we decided that a house is truly not a home without 4 legs and fur, we proudly adopted a wacky Lab mix named Libby. While at a training class with Libby we were recommended to go to Dexter's to get her off her shelter food and find an appropriate food for her. I was amazed with the staff at Dexter's in Del Mar! They are so friendly, so knowledgeable! They aren't salesmen. The staff don't push product just to make a buck, they respect you even when you are on a budget. Dexter's staff is genuinely there for the love of their customers...dogs and cats. We especially like the occasional people treats at the register. ;) All of Libby's food and snacks come from Dexter's.

Dexter's Deli is my favorite store. I would feed my Bichon, Danny, ANYTHING in your store and I recommend you to everyone that adopts from Bichon FurKids! The products that you carry are all exemplary. Our rescue group purchases all our dog food from you because your prices are better than Petco and you offer wonderful service! Your staff is knowledgable and extremely helpful! Thanks so much!

I first came to Dexter's when I moved to Del Mar two years ago, after a friend raved about the quality products and friendly service. They have an excellent selection of the best quality foods, including raw, and have a wide selection of natural remedies, healthy treats, and adorable accessories. A great place to go for a gift for a dog or cat lover! The friendly, smiling staff is always a pleasure.
