Petco

We seriously spend about $ 400 per month here with 3 dogs and our salt water tank. The past few times I’ve been here no one knows anything about salt water care. I went in tonight, mind you with my 5 week old baby, and waited by the salt water tanks. An employee passed me 4 times and never once acknowledged me. He was cleaning out dead fish so I waited for 15 mins. He then went to the turtle tank where another employee approached him and they stood joking around. I couldn’t believe the lack of customer service and rude employees. The dog trainer is the only good thing this store has going for them. We will never be back and Petco just lost a huge customer.

Dru is a DOG FOOD whisperer! He is so knowledgeable and helpful. He even stopped to help me during his break!
Melissa was so kind and helpful. She went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty to help me with coats for my pups :) They fit PERFECTLY!

Recently we bought a dog so it’s been a while since I’ve visited a pet store! Walking in you usually get the usual sense awakening odours that it’s a pet store but not so much here! Good sign #1!
Selection of items here is gargantuan and you can honestly believe if they have anything for a four legged friend they will have it here! Huge section of chew toys, snacks, bones leash walking apparatus, collars, you name it! Makes you wonder the pet business is actually a huge profitable booming business!
On the left is fish tanks and freshwater fish! A few birds and cages scatter the place in the middle left!
Prices seem to be reasonable but some items seem excessive. Overall it’s a clean easy well organized store that should have what you are looking for! Make Fido happy, get him a toy or treat!

We just bought a tank, tank set up, and two female guppy fish from petco. The people selling the fish were very helpful and told us exactly what we needed to do to safely keep our fish and care for them well. I’m very pleased.

This review is primarily for dog training. Dru, the trainer, is simply fabulous. My partner and I signed our two dogs up for adult training, thinking it would be a group class. When you sign up for the adult behavior class, you get a meet-​and-​greet session with the trainer and six classes tailored to your need. It was very nice to know that he did not just follow a standard class protocol and really tried to address our needs. We have two rescue dogs, one who just needed some behavior training and one who has aggression issues. He was able to work with both, splitting up the time we were in there, to help meet the needs for both dogs. I was not expecting our aggressive dog to make a lot of progress during the class, since these things take time to correct, but I was impressed by how much progress he did make (he growled at Dru and tried to bite him the during the meet-​and-​greet, but by the last class he was able to sit calmly in his lap). He made a lot of suggestions for things we should buy for them and informed us of things people buy that you don’t need. He never tried to push Petco-​specific items on us, which was so appreciative. The prices were surprisingly very affordable, and I wholeheartedly recommend his training services. He uses a combination of mostly positive reinforcement for behaviors and some minor correction for bad behaviors. There is definitely no dominance involved, and Dru was able to work great with our animals.
As for other things, this Petco is pretty nice. It is always clean in there, and in general the staff is great and helpful. This is definitely my preferred pet superstore.
