As a women-owned, LGBTQ+-owned pet nutrition shop founded in 1996, Dexter's Deli in Carlsbad maintains one of the largest prepared raw-food selections in San Diego County at its El Camino Real location. The store's emphasis on species-appropriate feeding includes a full supplements wall with joint, digestive, and immune-support add-ins that pair with the structured exercise plans owners build through Dogs On The Run. Dexter's also carries fresh-baked pupcakes and birthday cakes made in-house alongside rotating seasonal treat batches, a bakery component rare among independent pet retailers. Beyond raw and fresh-frozen diets, the inventory spans home-cooking starter kits with pre-portioned nutrient blends, dehydrated meal bases, and limited-ingredient kibble lines selected for allergy-prone breeds, complementing the behavior and obedience work at Performance K9 Training. The raw freezer program stocks proteins ranging from standard chicken and beef to novel sources like venison, rabbit, and duck for elimination-diet protocols.
