Petco

"I have mixed emotions. I brought my rescue in to be groomed for the first time since he was rescued in Oct. a few weeks ago. He seemed traumatized from his fur being matted and kept pulling at it even though his fur was/is well maintained, and he does let me comb & brush him. He did strut himself like nobody's business after his haircut non stop for the first week. His hair cut is cute and he's happy. I put in the notes that he had sensitive skin, yet after leaving the store I saw that there was some type of powder on his fur. I imagine it was dry shampoo and it wasn't all washed out. I was under the impression regular dog shampoo, he didn't get much spritz or a cute little bow tie or scarf. He kept biting at himself and I gave him a bath to get it off, he irritated his skin from where he was biting at & thankfully didn't break his skin. Please don't use powder on dogs with sensitive skin, I didn't think i'd need to say something. I just figured everyone knew that. They had to catch him as he fell off the table when he backed up too far & could've hung himself. His nails were jagged, and actually were cutting my skin. They couldn't get a mat out of his paw (ofc on the shelter, they should've & said they got all his mats) and told me to take him to the vet and have them do it. Took him downtown and they got it out within 5 minutes and he was perfectly fine. He just needs patience, not every dog is the same especially rescues. He in general loves being pampered. It was also mentioned he's weird about his paws so that should have been where they started. If you're not good with anxious dogs, just say that you don't work with them. Somebody will still charge the $80+ I was charged to work with them. And don't be afraid to use a muzzle as it does calm some dogs down. Also never rush on black nails, thankfully his nails weren't cut too far but I saw the dog who was and nothing was said to her owner. Always say something to the owner so they can watch for an infection. He loves his Teddy Bear look still even though it's quickly growing back out and everyone still takes double takes thinking he's a stuffed animal. Thank You for making him more comfortable than he was."

"I tend to end up taking my pup here for some birthday shopping. I came here on a Wednesday night after work and the staff was super friendly to me and my dog. The store was stocked and had a lot of options."

"Took my puppy in for dog grooming. Great price, friendly staff. They took great care of my pup. They took time at check-in to ask questions and explain a few things to me. It went great."

"the staff are very helpful, understanding and fantastic. We buy dog and cat food. Lots of parking. It can get busy depending on the time. Best advice is to ask questions no matter how stupid you think the question is, don't just jump into it and think you know it, unless you know what you are doing. Do your research and then make the commitment."
