Petco

"some what helpful staff. My puppy had his first grooming there, but it wasnt anything that stood out. He looked like he got a cut at home. not as professional as I thought."

"Been here twice since moving to Ashburn. 1st time fish tasks so dirty felt bad for the fish. One employee tried to justify it by saying holiday rush was rough. Went back a second time. No change but daughter wanted some glo rock our the fish tank. Grabbed a bag that was labeled $5 then went to check out it went to 7.40 didn't notice until she gave my daughter her change back and I asked questions about it. Was told 10.40 minus 7.40 is 3 so what's the issues then I told them their product was mislabeled. She then responded none of the prices on anything in the store are accurate and they could care less about it. Go some where else. They could care less about animals or service. If your there for fish there are a couple of smaller locally owned stores in the general area that have much better service and care for their animals. Wish I would have visited them first."

"Today I witnessed someone bring in an eastern box turtle they had taken from the wild. An employee encouraged them to put it back but still showed them supplies they needed. They should have been kicked out of the store as taking a box turtle from the wild is ILLEGAL!!! also I can never find any ALIVE dubia roaches for my gecko here and they never restock them because they keep the dead ones on the shelves for months and months."

"I shop here pretty regularly for aquarium and cat supplies, as well as for treats for the office dogs. The staff is knowledgeable in the areas I’m interested in (mainly the aquaria, though they love chatting about any other pet too), and always friendly and helpful. The store is cleanly kept and well-stocked, and the merchandise is of excellent quality. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had tanks for surrendered fish, all of whom looked as healthy as one could expect (no obvious diseases or injuries, but would benefit from getting proper homes), and that they put a lot of focus on sustainable practices for saltwater fish, and list which ones are bred in captivity (which was most, if not all of them) as opposed to selling wild-caught fish. Attached photo is of a small tank I recently set up using supplies mostly purchased from Petco. The tank, substrate, filter, heater, thermometer, light, rocks, driftwood, Java ferns (tall plants on the left), and the anubias (broad leafed plants on the right with a much smaller variety tucked in the rocks) came from Petco. The ground cover plants came another vendor and I’m trying to save them."

"By far one of the best Petco's in NOVA if you are looking at the fish department. Tanks clean and look generally well cared for!"
