Petco

Not to many variety of fishes.

This is a pretty large store. It’s never too busy, however as most Petco’s, they tend to be understaffed and hard to get assistance. They do have a huge selection of items. My dogs all have food allergies, so their selection of grain-​free food is much appreciated. But because of the difficulty of getting help, you need to know what you are looking for, or plan on spending time looking around.

It’s not my first choice, but it’s convenient. I was also able to find a dog food my dog likes as her food is no longer being made and sold everywhere. There is a good selection on minty treats and other good chew treats. I really like the hedgehogs. I think there so adorable, but they are a little large so we settle for the alligators. They are good for 2 sittings. It’s nice that they sell some treats individually as I only want a single treat at times.
They have an adorable parakeet display. I love watching them. They all have friends and seem like they are having a good time. To them life couldn’t get better.
The small dog collar selection is lacking. In addition I didn’t see those tags you etch and that tack onto the collar so they don’t jingle.
Bathroom hygiene is lacking and makes this store 1 star. Sorry store, but you have to clean your restrooms on a more regular basis. I can tell they aren’t cleaned often by the amount of ants that collected on a dropped lollypop stick. That was a big gross factor. Next there was drops of blood on the floor. Lastly they were totally out of toilet paper.
After this experience I just may have to check out the other pet store down the street.

Derek is an amazing employee. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He explained everything to me in great detail, which I loved. I love my furbaby and he made it seem like he also cared about my furbaby. He walks you through what kinds of foods are good and which are okay. Which is best depending on what your looking for. I think petco did an amazing job hiring him! He went over and beyond simple customer service.

The staff is always amazing when we get there by immediately greeting our pup with loves and treats. I always take him by to see the bunnies before check out and he loves them. It’s a great, friendly, and helpful atmosphere.
I gave a 4 because the toy selection has been lacking lately. We have a big dog and he just destroys regular toys as soon as we get home so we buy the tough toys because he’s able to get a little more play out of them but they always only have the same three tough toys. I would like to see a bigger selection for the big dogs that just can’t stop themselves when it comes to toys.

I went in to get my two dogs nails clipped and I had the pleasure of meeting Kim she is a doll and a great groomer she was so friendly and patient my dogs took to her so warmly and she gave them love right back. I will definitely be returning to see her everybody should she is really awesome it was so quiet and neat in there just a great experience all the way around. Way better than PETSMART BY FAR

Maxx, my 7lb Yorkie Poo has been getting groomed here for a couple years. It’s not the best job but it’s fast and cheap. When I was walking up to pick Maxx up, before I entered the store I noticed the security guard messing with the groomers door that to my knowledge is suppose to remain shut for safety reasons for the animals. When I came through the front entrance I noticed another employee was on the other side of the door and the two men where pushing the door back and fourth. seemed like they were «dicking» around. This makes me feel uncomfortable to know that if by accident the gate had been open to the groomers area, dogs could have gotten out… Very unprofessional and no care for the animals safety. I went to check out and noticed on the groomers paper I was overcharged and when I asked the check out clerk what the extra charge was for she stumbled and couldn’t answer me directly. Instead of investigating the overcharge she just continued to scan the paper. I didn’t have time to debate the overcharge because I heard my dog barking ferociously from the groomers department. When I turned around to see why he was stressed I saw the security guard leaning over the gate to the grooming area trying to pet him, none of the groomers in the room seemed to give a shit that this man was freaking out my dog. No «hey dude, knock it off you’re upsetting this dog» so I quickly paid and ran over to tell the dude to leave my dog alone, and got the fuck out of there. I won’t be back. P. s. The worst hair cut he has ever had and I paid extra for the nails to be dremeled… They are so sharp and clipped uneven. Nothing like having to fix this hair cut and nail trim myself… My dog seems traumatized. Pissed is an understatement.

We live in West Sac and travel to the Arden Petco just to have Tammy cut our dog’s hair. We have a 60lb chow and Tammy is the only one that we trust to bath and cut his hair. She even calls us if we haven’t been in over 6 weeks to let me know that our dog is due for a hair cut. We love that she cares about him and is sensitive to his anxiety of being there. Can’t say enough good things about Tammy!

DO NOT BUY ANIMALS HERE! I am a teacher and different families have bought 3 different hamsters from Petco and they ALL died within 5 days. They sell sick animals and do not care when I call to complain. Try telling a class of 6 year olds that all their pets die!

They have an adoption center for puppies (many others don’t) reptiles, fish, birds, and mice although I didn’t see bunnies

Petco is definitely way better than Petsmart when it comes to dog clothing I find the clothing most affordable and is half the price of Petsmart clothing. I find the dog clothing to be nice quality without breaking the bank. The customer service a excellent and willing to make great recommendations on products. The employee Dallas was super helpful and informative. I didn’t feel rushed and will start doing more business at Petco!!! I picked a thick blue sweater and a spiked black leather collar for Timmy and he is so happy! I also picked up some out fit for my girl Yorkies! I will be posting pictures of they’re outfits as well. Thanks. Dallas for going above and beyond to help pick out outfits for all my dogs! :)

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with this store. 3 stars instead of 5 because they are expensive and didn’t price match with Home Depot.
If you want a better deal you can find it elsewhere, however, if you want to be helped by people who love animals, you should go to Petco. I brought my pup in, and she promptly decided to do a #1 on the floor. :(I was so embarrassed. More my fault than hers (I was a new dog owner too).
They were so quick to offer to help me clean up. They would have done it for me, but I wasn’t going to let that happen. Afterwards, I had a good 30 minute conversation with one of the managers about her and her pit bull. It was so informative. We talked about toys, she had recommendations for my breed, along with things to stay away from. I didn’t feel pressured or anything. Yes, it was more expensive than it would have been if I’d have gone online, but worth it for the conversation.
If I had one other suggestion, it would be this: We bought a very large crate for our dog to sleep in. Turns out the exact crate is 30 dollars cheaper at Home Depot. (who would have thought Home Depot had dog crates?) Anyways, they wouldn’t match the price because it was not another pet store. That was disappointing. I’m still giving them four stars though.

Very nice store! The staff is always very helpful and I never have trouble finding what I need here.
The store is conveniently located across the street from the mall so you can get all your shopping done without having to drive all over town. It’s also very clean and organized.
The prices are pretty high but not more than a dollar or two over other stores prices so if you’re in the area, there’s no sense in driving across town.
I shop here because of the helpfulness of the staff, they know a lot about numbers of different animals and can usually answer any questions you have, and because of convince.
The kitty litter and some dog treats can be purchased by building your own bags or containers which is nice too. So, if you have a picky puppy, you don’t have to waste a bunch of boxes of treats because you can grab a couple bags of different things until you find a winner!

I have a cat that I always struggle when I have to trim his nails. I decided to go to Petco and get the soft nails. I honestly felt bad for them because they didn’t know about my cat but I didn’t want to say anything maybe they can deal with him. I had to walk away I couldn’t watch then my son walked up to me and tells me they’re done. I was in shock and so happy, my cat was happy and had glittery nail caps and now when he plays it doesn’t hurt I am so impressed thank you Petco

I’d rate this place minus 10 000 000. Rodents were drowning in their poop and placed in aquariums while they get no airflow. I told an employee that one of the rats was sick (I know the symptoms as rat owner) and she said they weren’t going to do anything. What kind of bullshit is that. This store will let an animal suffer saying that taking care of them isn’t their problem.

This Petco is your standard big box pet food and supply store. I used to come here exclusively for my pet needs when I lived closer, now it’s my backup when my PetSmart is out of whatever I’m looking for. Selection is good, prices are fair (sign up for their free perks card to get discounts), staff experience is generally a bit lackluster.
I came here last weekend to find a cat fishing rod toy. I didn’t find one but I DID find a whole range of Star Wars toys and wearables for cats and dogs… so I basically wound up buying a bunch of cat toys that my cat won’t be allowed to play with, because I don’t want her devouring Darth Vader catnip mouse. Haha!

The reason why I love this PetCo so very much is because it housed my sweet kitten, Uncle Bob, before we adopted him. I saw a photo of Uncle Bob (formerly known as Ezra) on the SPCA website and instantly fell in love with him.
This PetCo is conveniently located across from Arden Fair Mall and they never seem to be too crowded! I joined the PetCo Pals club and receive discounts, coupons and earn points for every purchase!
I love the fact that you are allowed to bring pets into the store too. Oo. I actually need to go to PetCo on my lunch break today. Thanks for the reminder, Unilocal

Great location and selection!
One of my little monsters is a toy poodle and he has some pretty severe allergies. He has a very strict diet and it can be a challenge to find food that fits within his limited palate. I have been to several Petco locations and usually find what I need, but the selection and options are still limited.
I was in the Arden area the other day and decided to stop in here and see what they had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised. The selection of alternative dog food is extensive. Each isle is labeled with the brand of food, just like every other Petco, but the amounts and variety seems to be larger. Great news for those of us with 4 legged family members that have special needs!
They also have the usuals that you expect from a Petco such as bulk treats, clothing and accessories as well as options for cats and other less furry family members.
The staff here is friendly and attentive. Can’t ask for much more from a pet store!

DO NOT ever bring your pet here to be groomed. They cut my dogs chest open and I showed up before they decided it was time to call me. Next trying to tell me it wasn’t that bad. After taking my puppy to the vet to get 2 staples and needs to be on pain meds for 2 weeks. They’re getting the bill for this. Terrible service, never bring your pet here.

Under construction but still open to the public!
Petco is your Target of pet stores. It’s lacks the charm, personable staff and organic lesser-​known brands of a mom and pop store, but it’s great when you want to grab something basic and go. Our fam comes here on the regular for one of the best deals in town on cat litter. They have what is basically a huge sandbox full of grey, odorless, and mostly dust-​free Petco brand litter. You can buy a bucket and then bring it back for refills and about 20% off the original purchase price.
Other than that you’ll find any major brand and a wide array of toys and such that your pet really doesn’t need. Stick to what you came in for and you’ll be alright!
