Petco

We came here for a new mouse after all except for one of the ones from Creature Comforts died. The pet salesman was very helpful and was happy to get us ready to take care of our new mouse, which we later named Fireball. I also looked at the other pet rodents, especially the ferrets and gerbils. As we were in the checkout line, I noticed the big «Adoption Center» sign. I asked my mom if I could see the cats, and she said yes. Then a horribly saddening thought hit me: these cats may never get adopted. I cried the whole car ride home, so you may be thinking, «Why would he give Petco FIVE STARS if going made him cry for forty minutes?» My answer? Petco has such a big sign for the Adoption Center, as well as having a sign with all the cats that got adopted, which makes me realize that they really do care for these foster pets.

Just want to give a heads up on all the pets lover out there. Petco may sent you an email on a certain discounts and coupons but if you didn’t print out the coupons at the time of your purchase, you will not be receiving a discount.
That being said; I think they need to keep up with modern age of society. We are not living in the 80s anymore, Advance Technologies are upon us now a day. People don’t have time to print coupons to make a purchase. Petco should honor a scan code from a smartphones to make their purchase.
Petsmart sound pretty good for any of my future purchases.

Roseanna Feeney is the best trainer. My dog Dukus, a mini Australlian Shepherd was nearly untrainable I thought. Roseanna proved me wrong. Dukus took a liking to her very quickly. She is so caring and compassionate about all the dogs that come into her class. I was so blessed by her and still am. I recommend her to everyone. No matter what size, breed, age, and circumstance. Petsmart is incredibly blessed to have her.

Stop carrying ferrets unless you’re going to give them proper care! Ferrets from here are ofen sick and they are kept in tanks with no air circulation! Hello infection and respiratory problems! Adopt! Don’t shop!

Twice I’ve had fish die within a week. I keep coming back cause they make it right and have good customer service.

No complaints for this location. My Mom personally knows one of the dog groomers here and she’s really nice! The store is clean, employees are friendly and the cats are super cute. :)

BACKGROUND — I have a cat and soon-​to-​be puppy. I usually get all my cat supplies from Target and Walmart because they actually share a very nice selection of kibble, treats, toys and other pet accessories for amazing prices. I came here today to stock up on puppy supplies and to get information about grooming. The experience today at this Petco, sucked. I can’t think of another word. It really sucked.
PROS — There were cute kittens showcasing for adoption. That’s it.
CONS — Went into grooming center to inquire about prices for puppy. No one could give me an exact price. Okay? Odd. Walmart didn’t carry those popular Kong toys and there were some here. Above an aisle there was a sign that said (along the lines of) «we are willing to price match any competitor!» Went to pay and told told cashier Petsmart has those toys for a lower price, she looked annoyed and said she already ran my card. I asked her what can we do about the price match guarantee and she said that she can do a return (at this point I knew she hated her job). I filled out a slip for the «return». After she adjusted it, she didn’t tell me the process was done. So I awkwardly stood there, stared at her and had to ask «so…are we done here?»…she nodded.
Come on Petco, if you are going to post a sign with a cheerful «price match guarantee», see to it that your employees are properly trained to execute the promise. The whole experience at the store was annoying and awkward. Who wants to leave a pet supply store feeling that way? And you wonder why your competitor Petsmart is prospering? It’s because they have knowledgeable staff in every department, including the grooming department and also because cashiers offer waaaay better customer service compared to what customers go through at your sad store.
POINTERS — Petsmart, Target, and Walmart are all better than Petco. Went to Target right after Petco and found Kong toys 30% cheaper than at Petco. Never again will I venture into a Petco. I notice there are a lot of Petcos closing down around Oregon. And if they aren’t closed down, they have low reviews… LOL not a surprise!

People, I get that not everyone lives near a locally-​owned pet/​pet supplies store. Sometimes you end up at the big boxes. But seriously, reconsider next time, for the love of your little fuzzies at home.
Remember: this is the Walmart of Pets. Your dollars spent there are not helping anyone.
Parking at this location is limited to a small strip in front, shared with Starbucks, or you’ll have to cross the busy pathway from Sunnyside to Target, an adventure on its own.
Yup, they have pet supplies. Lots of ‘em. They occasionally do adoption events, and I hate to doubt anyone’s intentions of promoting adoption, but after my last visit when I passed up a table of obviously not well kitties with syringes out on the table, I hightailed it out of there and bought the items I needed at my local yokel shop in Sellwood for twice as much — happily.
Bleh.

This rating is based on this Petco’s grooming staff. I took my cat in to be groomed, I let him go for to long and his hair was very matted, I think her name was Heather? I could be wrong but she did a wonderful job with him, she didn’t cut him at all and I know it was a long and hard job she had to do but she she did great!

If I get one the parking slots along the front of the door, woo-​hoo! Otherwise, I get to play chicken with the incoming traffic as I try to tote around 2, 35 lbs bags of dog food, a 10 lbs bag for the cat and anything else that caught me eye to the register. As I do this every few weeks, it’s all about going off –peak times such as an hour before closing on Tuesday. Saturday morning isn’t too bad either and with Starbucks next door, I get my caffeine kick start for «Errand Marathon».
This location seems to be solid on inventory levels and with the buy 10 bags get 1 free, the prices are reasonable.

This Petco is conveniently-​located and I can always get in and out quickly. The store is well-​stocked and I can always get what I need in one stop. I love the Petco Pals reward program.

Meh. It’s the Wal-​Mart of the pet world. All the staples are there, sometimes there are good deals but typically things are full priced unless you happen to hit a sale, the employees are lackadaisical and at times surly, and I would rather shop at a locally owned pet store but the only option near me is Scamps and I wont go there. We can’t buy food here; they don’t carry the good organic and natural brands, so we have to go to another store to buy that. It’s our «we ran out of treats for training, get more today so we can teach her to sit» place.
We did the six week beginning training here; it was awful. There are four dogs in the class, which is a good size, but the class is in the front of the store by the cats so the dogs are constantly distracted by everybody coming in and out of the store. The trainer goes from dog to dog so you spend a lot of time standing around waiting. The trainer could not have been nicer but she was sorta spacey and wasn’t really sure what we were doing during any particular session. She really loves dogs and I think will be a great trainer in a different environment and with more experience. We are now with another trainer and the difference in quality is amazing, both in the facility/​environment and instruction.
Anyway, I’ll continue to come here when I run out of something other than daily food, but I find better toys, clothes (yes, I dress my dog in jackets, she gets cold!) and other doggy paraphernalia at Target next door. PETCO doesn’t have the Isaac Mizrahi Channukah dog collection, Target does. ‘Nuff said.
