Petco

The staff here is super friendly and outgoing. They are always offering help if any questions.
I also had my puppy come here for training with Jin. She is AMAZING! Phenomenal, attentive, and helpful with all of my questions. Not to mention my little guy loves her. It is clear from the minute you meet her that she loves what she does and cares about you and your pet.

Came here to get a Betta fish. As I walked in I heard an announcement saying «at petco animals come first». I started looking through the different Betta fish and found three that were dead!!! One of them looks like it had been dead for days since the water is very dirty.
This is just disgusting. How hard can it be to change the water and to feed these animals and to at least realize which are dead before the customers see them. I understand one could’ve just died, but three? And all are still there in their plastic containers.
Obviously I left without purchasing anything because I won’t support a store like this that clearly doesn’t put animals first as they say.

I love this place. It’s clean and organized. That’s always important. The staff are super nice. Jin the trainer is phenomenal. She’s truly a professional with all my behavior concerns.
My dog is a pain when it comes to baths. Samantha is amazing. She handles Charlie with love and care. She doesn’t complain even though I can see the scratches that Charlie leaves on her arms. Charlie is always clean and happy when he is done.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I just wished that their online and in store prices were the same :-).

I went to purchase feeder fish and the girl selling them to me was having a disgusting attitude, I am not sure what her problem was but i almost felt like she didn’t want to help me, I know that i will NEVER go back to this petco again!

This review is only for vaccination. I wanted to give NO STAR! VET AND THE ASSISTANT WERE VERY RUDE AND HARSH TO ME AND MY CAT! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS THERE ! I bought my cat to take his second feline shot. Crazy long line, waited for 45 mins while dogs are barking next to me non stop. My cat got very scared and starts to shake. I put him down on the vet’s table, the vet’ assistant (Steve) started with a attitude asking if my cat are aggressive. I told him no, but my cat is scared, he is only 3 months old, this is his second time to the vet. Steve later on put on a long thick protection glove ask me to put down my cat. I said please be gentle, my cat is scared. He grab my cat at the NECK and PUT HIS FORCE DOWN on my cat’s body. My cat start to scream, I bet him to stop CHOKING him, he said my cat will be fine. IM NOT BLIND ! YOU ARE CHOCKING MY CAT!!! You and a protection glove on, it’s necessary to CHOCK him like that? My cat freaked out and had a diarrhea. Later he ask me to leave and take my cat to a local family vet because he doesn’t want to take care of my cat anymore. All I need to say is, IF YOU DONT LIKE CAT, DONT BE COME A VET! I will make sure that you’ll get write up for your action! 100% !

I went in to get some fishes for my fish tank at home. I went in and after about 10 minutes i know exactly which fish i wanted. I asked the associate (African American) that was working there if she could help me and she said she will be right back. I was waiting over 10 minutes and she was not back then i saw her come out and ask if she was going to help me. it looks like she was getting off and she didn’t even apologize for making me wait for her when she know she couldn’t help me. If she was getting off she could have let me know and not tell me she will be right back. Then there was another associate near by and she said she will help me. I was kinda mad because it just seem so unprofessional.

Purchased a filter for my fish tank a couple of days ago. Put it in my tank and realized it was cracked causing the water in the tank to leak all over the floor. Closer inspection of the box showed it was taped up with clear tape, probably returned by someone else and put right back on the shelf. As luck would have it, I lost my receipt, manager quoted store policy and refused to help me in any way. I fault this store for returning faulty equipment to their shelves. If you shop here be careful to inspect packages before purchasing, clearly the store doesn’t care.

$ 17 for a 5 pound bag of parrot Bird seed… And it’s not a resealable «zip lock» bag, so I’ll likely end up with insects and not so fresh seed in the next few days.
I usually go to a small local shop on bath ave (since the place on 86&17 closed) and I pay $ 10 for a 5 pound bag, and that is a resealable «zip lock» bag. Unfortunately I was out of seed and the local shop was closed by the time I got there.
I could only imagine what kind of rip off higher priced stuff is if they are making seed up 70% over retail!
Stay away! Go to your local neighborhood pet shop. Not only will you be saving money but you will also be supporting a small local business, who no doubt is dedicated to helping you with their vast knowledge, and will take the time to give you individualized attention to your needs.

This review is only for vaccinations. They have vaccinations for dogs and cats on Saturdays for a couple of hours and my dog Gypsy was due for her shots so instead of going to the vet and spend more money I took her here. A line was forming when I arrived at 10:15 so I suggest coming a bit early. Vet techs are there to fill out the forms before to speed up the process and when it was my turn the vet did a quick exam and gave her three shots which she took like a champ. The cost was 67 dollars with a coupon. I left happy and my dog with a sore butt. Least I saved some money.
As for the Petco store the workers are great and willing to help you with anything you need. But the prices on pet products are jacked up so high even on sale its still a little pricey. I never buy anything here.

Messy. Disorganized. $ 40 for a prong collar which I found for $ 14 at Petland Discounts. Also, I called ahead of time and asked a sales associate if they had a certain product in stock and they said, «Oh yeah, we have plenty of those in stock.» Guess what happened when I visited the store? I’m sticking to Amazon from now on.

I don’t know what people are talking about prices are high! I get my paper cat litter which is cheaper then any other store plus cheaper then online! The cat litter I get is a huge bag! The only thing that pisses me off is the cashiers! i’m like wtf man! one cashier sees the line going from far away to china! and she still talking like this is ball game! I’m like wtf I want to go home and pay for this! lets go! I’m like wtf! where is the other cashier! I dunno man I remember when I use to work in stores like this my manager will get piss at me. You guys should see CVS and rite aid! holy cow! I would be fired if I did the things I see there now! Big balls!

Just two cashiers as the long lines. But I noticed that it much cheaper to shop online even there site rather than going to the store. This is a last day type of store just in case I didn’t receive the food for my dog

This store is a ripped off… I called first to ask how much it would cost to give my puppy a full service bath and they said $ 41. So I went and my puppy got a bath and when it was done, I got the invoice and the price was $ 52.and I was like WTF, but didn’t say anything because I didn’t want any confrontation. I’m just never going back there again for any services. The products are also very expensive, I suggest you go to a independent store owner and buy instead of a chain unless they don’t have the stuff you are looking for.

I have mixed emotions about Petco.
This store is convenient and has parking. Most of the staff is friendly and knowledgable.
However they are always out of stock on many of the items I need. When I asked the staff I am told deliveries are on Tuesdays and the goods delivered are not necessarily what is out of stock, they deliver what they want.
Now this may be a bit hard to believe but I went to another Petco to try and get the cat food I needed and they were out also. The person at the check out had the same response, no control over what is delivered.
COME ON PETCO get with it!
Do I have to continue to buy my cat litter at the corner bodega ??

It’s kind of dirty here. Once, I stepped in dog crap in this store and I told the people that worked here but they didn’t help. They just kept talking to each other and hanging out. No one even cleaned it up. Also, whenever I get on line to buy things, the cashiers take a long time. They would either continue talking to the customer about other things or talk to other cashiers. It’s really annoying.

There always seem to be slow lines at this place. Management needs to notice the long lines forming to add additional cashiers. Cashiers are friendly, but would help if they can ring up the merchandise quicker, or at least chat and ring up at the same time. One cashier chats, but stops ringing up the merchandise. Got fed up and decided my purchase could wait for an Amazon shipment (cheaper too).
This place has a decent selection of food, treats and supplies. The parking is very convenient. Prices are higher hear vs. Amazon, but offer need it now convenience.
Like other Petcos, they have on-​site vaccinations each week, which is convenient.

Bought so many thing from this place but the fishes mostly die for some reason
Not enough fish to choose from as well
But their prices are cheap

if you want acquarium fish… don’t come here
if you want acquarium supplies… don’t come here
if you are doing your after dinner walk and looking for a place to walk around… come here
this Petco does not have a large variety of fish to choose from, every time i come here, its either gold fish or guppies, and they do not have much (if any) salt water fish…
Petco had a deal $ 1 per gallon for fish tank, and i was looking for the 55 gallon and they don’t have it
the fish supplies selection does not have much variety either…
TIP: Go to the Petco on Avenue Y, its ten times better and has more selection

I visited this Petco tonight as it was one of the few businesses that stayed open late on Saturday. Upon walking through the entrance, I noticed something to the right. There was a set of cages there and about half of them were filled with small cats. Some were sleeping by themselves but one cage appeared empty even though it had a name tag. Looking at the cage above it, a cat opened its eyes lazily to stare at us but the surprise was when another cat appeared from the left side with its adorably pitiful eyes. I assumed that one of the 2 cats sharing that cage actually belonged to the cage below it.
Walking through the rodent section, I noticed a white mouse that appeared ill. Although it was active in playing on the wheel, there was a large ugly growth at its rear that distorted the placement of its tail. The bird section was basically 1 container with some colorful playful birds. The reptile section was spare with about 2 lizards and a small snake but there were signs on the empty tanks indicating that more will arrive. The fish section was about a quarter of the size that I usually see at other Petco stores. At least one of the tanks had an ill fish that was unable to maintain buoyancy.
Continuing past the aquariums, I noticed a large cage in the middle of the store that was filled with more cats. A lady with a shopping cart had accidentally bumped the cage and she was making small talk with the kittens. There was a handwritten sign attached to the cage that explained how to adopt the kittens and the associated costs. My thoughts by this time was that cat adoptions was big at this particular Petco store, at least compared to the other Petco stores I’ve visited. Unfortunately, I am not able to adopt any cats and I am actually a fan of aquariums with which this store is lacking.

With 2 cats and a very tight schedule, I take note of every Petco location I pass by in case I need to make last-​minute food runs. I don’t live in Bensonhurst/​Bath Beach anymore but I’m still in the neighborhood on occasions. I was initially excited to see a brand new Petco in the area.
The store is well-​organized and clean. However, it is very small and carry a limited selection of items for mainly cats and dogs. The last time I was in the store, they seemed to be out of stock on many items. So when I was shopping for an automatic pet feeder, I made sure to call first to see if they had any items in stock. The sales rep who answered the phone was very snappy and rude – she even raised her voice at me! Do not bother with this Petco location unless it’s an absolute emergency.
