DEXTER'S DELI at 1229 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar, CA 92014, is a women-owned, LGBTQ+-owned pet supply store that has been specializing in raw, holistic, and natural foods for dogs and cats since 1996. The store was inspired by its namesake, Dexter, a Boston Terrier and Staffordshire Terrier mix who lived to the age of 18 on the whole-food philosophy the shop now champions. Dog owners headed to Del Mar Dog Beach often stop in to grab treats and supplies on the way to the coast. Shelves are stocked with freeze-dried and lightly cooked diets, gourmet treats like pumpkin chia biscuits and peanut butter coconut cookies, supplements recommended by holistic veterinarians, and a rotating selection of cool collars, toys, and gifts. Custom birthday cakes and signature Pupcakes can be ordered for canine celebrations, and anesthesia-free dental cleanings are available by appointment. The Del Mar flagship anchors the downtown village stretch of Camino Del Mar with a small parking lot out front and metered street parking along the 101. Curbside pickup is offered for quick grabs. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM. The store's knowledgeable staff walks customers through raw-diet transitions and food-sensitivity protocols, a service that has earned DEXTER'S DELI a 4.8-star Google rating from 142 reviews and frequent recommendations from local rescue groups. Additional locations operate in Carlsbad and North Park. IB Pet Del Mar at Flower Hill Promenade on Via De La Valle carries a similar emphasis on natural and raw-food diets with an extensive frozen food selection. Together, the two shops give Del Mar one of the strongest independent pet retail scenes in North County.
