Carter’s Pet Mart Lodi

Carter’s is the only pet store worth visiting. Locally owned with four stores throughout the 209—a varied collection of fish, reptiles, and birds that would make most zoos blush.

Save yourself some time and money and don’t buy the smaller birds from the store. It’s obvious that the birds are not properly hand-raised, or handled whatsoever. When I reached out for help, the staff was dismissive and offered no real guidance or solutions. Now I’m stuck with a wild, untamed bird that requires extensive work. If you’re looking for a pet bird that is actually friendly and socialized, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. No returns or refunds (they are obviously selling cheaply purchased animals for top dollar). The one saving grace at the store is the selection of the pet products.

Went to Carter's today. Came in for a rat, left with two and a cat 😂. The cat is very sweet and well mannered. I was told that she was a boy in the store but the papers say she's a girl lol. Great experience with friendly and cooperative staff.

As a volunteer with the Lodi Animal Shelter I've learned about a dog's needs and what to look for when I go shopping. Not only are they well stocked here but the associates are kind and helpful. Additionally they have all your pet's needs met whether you have a bird, reptile, dog, or cat. Please come stop in just to say hello.

Very clean and great staff! They have an excellent variety of dog accessories and for any other pet
