Petco

"Cashiers are Not veterinarians or animal experts and should NOT be pestering customers with unsolicited advice based off purchases as they ring them out. I’ve been a petco customer for 7+ years, I’ve been given friendly and professional recommendations before but tonights experience was patronizing and unpleasant. One of the employees ~persistently~ tried to convince me to feed my cat LESS wet food and switch to dry food upon seeing the amount of wet food I was buying…. even though I politely stated I am feeding based off what my cats needs are, the feeding guidelines and am fine with my current choice. Then admitted he didn’t even have a cat… It is harmful to dish out this sort of advice to pet owners with cats who might have medical conditions: diabetes, kidney disease etc. To recommend less wet food and more dry is ridiculous."

"i went in today for a couple things for a new betta of mine and was just looking at their selection 1st of all the water is beyond filthy and clouded as you can see in the pictures and they are dying. I found a dead one in the cup it was all foggy and had definitely been dead awhile and i brought it up to the cashier. they should be doing small water changes on the cups its one of their job duties literally. this is so inhumane and sad i didnt buy anything i needed i just left)-:"

"Oh, Petco, or as I affectionately like to call it, the "Corporate Pet Penitentiary." As I strolled through the aisles, I couldn't help but feel like I'd entered a dystopian pet wonderland. The ferrets? Well, they were in their own world, looking like they'd just discovered the dark secrets of the universe after a hit of fentanyl. Meanwhile, most of the aquarium fish seemed to have entered the final stage of some existential crisis, drifting lifelessly at the bottom of their glass tanks. And then, there's the staff. One fine soul told me, and I quote, "I don't know anything about the animals, I just work here." Well, isn't that reassuring? But wait, there's more! All the pet supplies on these hallowed shelves are priced in a way that makes your average grocery run feel like a bargain shopping spree. And as I left, my heart felt heavier than my overpriced plastic bag containing two pitiful, abused fish. Alas, my dear fish friends, despite my $100 worth of supplies meant to create a luxurious aquatic haven, both of them joined the fishy afterlife all too soon. Farewell, little swimmers. May you find a better home in the great big aquarium in the sky."

"I am highly disappointed with the services my dog received. I took him for a bath and trim I explained to the groomer Jennifer what I would like for her to do to my dog, which it was to shave his chest and to cut just a little down his hair on top, clean his face and sanitary areas. When my daughter brought my dog to my house I was so mad and upset, they shave my dog completely including his face, eyelashes to explained my self better I have a Shih Tzu and I got back a chihuahua that's how my poor fur baby looks. This was my first and last time taking my dog to Petco . I regret it. I have to give one start because it wasn't an option for zero."

"Stay away from grooming !!! I paid $96 for a schnauzer cut, understanding that my dog had knots they will have to go short, before the appointment I brushed my dogs face and there was no knots on his beard or eyebrows, but the groomer decided to completely shave my dogs eyebrows and beard off. As you know the eyebrows and beard are the characteristics of a schnauzer. My dog looks like a chihuahua now. I don’t know if is lack of training or just pure laziness but save yourself a headache and don’t take your dog here. I promise you can do it better at home!"
