Petco

Fish only reveiw.
First, I havent been in this store in years. Each time I’ve been in here I wound up in an argument with associate or manager.(talked down to me as if I know nothing, meanwhile I have 2 years marine biology classes, and now about 15 years of experience with aquatic animals.) Anyway, went there today and was pleased to see mostly healthy saltwater tanks and frag tanks. Prices decent. The only issue was the checkout line system needs work. Pleased to see the improvement, especially with all the negative reviews on the web about the company in general how the fish are not kept well. Hope keep the up the good work in this store.

Aquaria only review
I for one get very anxious in big box stores buuuuuut where else can you go when less than 24 hours after winning 2 Orandas they start exhibiting serious signs of illness and duress on Memorial Day?
The guys that work here are nice and display a serious interest in their profession and a decent knowledge of fish. They are human, but they’ve obviously done their research outside of PetCo.
The display tanks are super clean and appropriately stocked.
They have the run of the mill selection but an unusually wide variety of freshwater snails and some unique fish species you don’t normally see in commercial stores.
They’re Glofish tanks are definitely something to see.
The Cichlids look great but were suspiciously chill.
Decent selection of Veil Tail Bettas.
EXCELLENT selection of live plants.
Small but healthy coral stock.
All of the accessories, chemicals, supplements you can possibly think of.
I’m not a saltwater person, never even looked.
The Prices are what you’d expect.
Both associates seem capable of helping build out a healthy tank, assuming you have enough sense to think about the nitrogen cycle prior to placing a fish, because, you know, no one is a mind reader.

I really wish there were other places to go. They make you stand on line like cattle and emoyees walk right by without even opening up another register. Get more help.

They are always friendly and helpful to me. Nice to be able to bring your dog with you to shop. Sometimes the line is long but love that they promote dog and cat rescue and do not sell puppies or kittens from commercial breeders.

Large selection of pet food, snacks, toys and supply’s. Staff is friendly but they do not have enough to work register and help around the store.

I generally only go to Petco when I need dog food
I have dachshunds and they like the Natural Choice Dachshund food.
The price is pretty good and they run sales all the time.
The cashiers are always friendly.
The store could use better sales people that know about the different products and food.
It is very hard to find anyone other than a cashier or stock person in the store.
Almost never have to wait for checkout and I have never had a bad experience here.

STAY AWAY!!! Brought my dog there for grooming and they wound up shaving off his dew claw. They brought him to their vet without calling me. The manager Frank was very sympathetic and very apologetic and followed up with phone calls. However the grooming manager called to check up on my dog and told me that I really should caution the groomers in the future that he has dew claws. Really? He has been groomed for over 4 years and never a problem. Regular groomer unavailable so we thought we would try here. My dog would up with stitches and antibiotics and we had to walk him on leash for 14 days.

Come here if you love pets and five hour long lines. Regardless if you are on a line of one or a hundred, you can bet you won’t escape before your allergies kick in. Bring a benadryl!

Used to love this place to get fish but the employees stink.
No one is ever in the fish department. I waited 10 minutes for someone to help me, no one came. Went to cashier and asked if someone could come and get me some fish, she announced on the speaker for someone to go to fish department waited 5 more minutes no one came so I left.
