*For other pet services and supplies meet Pet Stores, groomers, or Dogs for dog-specific listings.
*I've found lots of bully prices and option on supplies for your pets - nonetheless I have not been impressed with the bodily pets they sell - Especially the fish. I went at that place today and HALF of the tanks were "not for auction" due to illness. If your looking for fish - buy the tank and whatever else there - but buy the fish at Capitol Aquarium or Exotic Aquarium (both in Sac). I've likewise seen many sick reptiles and birds too that should take been receiving better care. - PeterAnselmo
2005-06-10 10:05:53 I was quite impressed with the Davis Petco people. I have a friend with MS, and she was having a rough day, where getting out of her auto and into the store would have been an ordeal. She needed to get some pet food, and the people at Petco were nice enough to allow her stay in her auto in the parking lot while they got her stuff, and took care of the money. Whatsoever else you want to say about Petco, that impressed me, and I'm happy to shop there subsequently that. —EricKlein
2005-09-eleven 17:21:53 I haven't had a single fish live that I've bought from PetCo while other fish I've gotten from Pet Cetera (downtown) and Capitol Aquarium (Sac) are doing but fine. Their feeders are peculiarly bad. They're small, thin and sick looking and some don't even survive a v minute ride domicile in the auto. If yous're looking for fish, store somewhere else. —JoeMarchi
2005-x-15 21:09:28 I agree on the count of fish, our fish from Petco never live long. However I'm usually pleased with their rodents, and the SPCA do cracking there. —MaggieBlank
2005-12-21 04:11:25 I actually didn't know these things about Petco. I've been in the Covell location several times for my bird, but I don't retrieve I've bought anything. The people weren't extraordinarily helpful. I did enjoy that the bird areas had "consider adoption" signs starting time. —SS
2006-08-21 18:09:xl Calculation to the list of complaints...this petco is very poorly stocked! I take been in there iv times in the past 3 weeks to get mice and they only get pinkies in stock - making feeding my snake 3x as expensive every bit it should exist —SandyRose
2007-01-16 17:41:01 I am kinda worried well-nigh their chinchillas. The temperature at petco is, like 85 degrees, and temperatures over 80 could kill a chinchilla, if they are exposed to it for an extended period of time. —RaymondMyers
2007-01-17 19:35:09 They remodeled this past summer and seem to be improve stocked, many of the pets for sale received new living quarters. —MeganOster
2007-05-12 eighteen:16:21 If you purchase fish, brand certain non to utilise chlorinated Davis tap h2o directly from the tap. That is what kills fish. (Edited)Employ water that has no chlorine. Brand sure you have an air pump in the h2o so your fish don't suffocate. —Jedron
- Be VERY CAREFUL if you try to apply distilled water. From wikipedia: "Some people use distilled h2o for household aquariums because information technology lacks the chemicals constitute in tap h2o supplies. Information technology is important to supplement distilled water when using information technology for fishkeeping; it is too pure to sustain proper chemistry to support an aquarium ecosystem." Call up Bio 1B? Distilled water has no ions and messes with animal cells' makeup. —AllisonEriksen
- Edited. Cheers for the advice.
- We have used tap water for our freshwater fish for iii years and haven't had many deaths, but we exercise ordinarily allow the water to sit down a few hours before putting it in the tank.
- To add: You can purchase a drop solution that gets rid of the chlorine. Available at most pet stores. I simply use tap water with the drops, and I've had regular erstwhile goldfish terminal for YEARS! —KristineSlipson
2007-05-xiii 12:57:21 I've been using Davis h2o straight from the tap for over three years and my fish are still alive. I also put in NovAqua and AmQuel after adding the new water. —EmmyMelton
2007-05-13 fourteen:48:44 Davis water probably didn't kill the goldfish and so. Actually, it was an unfortunate incident where the goldfish'south possessor went out of town and the roommates had to take care of the fish and the fish ended up dying (probably because at that place was no air pump). Everyone in the flat was freaking out because nosotros knew who would get blamed for the fish'southward death. So anybody idea most bringing the expressionless fish to Petco to get a new fish that looked just like the dead one. Oh, the shame. —Jedron
2007-08-23 xv:25:33 Don't buy pets from Petco. They are always sick. We bought a hamster and it died iv days later on. Then nosotros bought a rat and it got sick the next mean solar day. When I returned the rat to Petco so they could take it to the vet (supposedly) they called me and told me that it had died. When I looked at the other rats— I realized that they were all suffering from the same respiratory infection every bit mine. I alerted the staff- which could care less. Apparently this is normal practice to sell sickly pets. The girl working the cash register actually told me to get to a privately endemic pet store in Woodland and to non e'er purchase pets from Petco considering the place they become their pets from is bad. She said the pets are e'er sick. —kmmahan
2007-09-08 xiv:04:05 I take yet to buy any pets from petco due to the consistent complaints well-nigh them. I did find this store is significantly less clean and pleasant equally the other ones I've been too, but its fine. They were bringing in some crickets at the time and had the cricket stinky cardboard virtually. It wasn't that bad though. I went to look at the fish, and many of them seemed okay. None of them I saw had signs saying that they were not for sale. They cashier was very friendly. As for my fish, I accept used Davis tap h2o with dechlorinator from the capital aquarium and it has worked just find for all 10 of my fish. —AnnaF
2007-09-20 01:10:25 Tap water Can impale your fish, folks. Yet, you can add water treatments to it so that it is safe to apply for your fishy friends. Chlorine and chloramine are harmful to fish, and the add-on of h2o treatments tin go rid of the harmful stuff. Tap water is the cheapest way to make full your fish tank, only brand certain you buy tap water conditioner. —JennSuzuki
2007-09-20 16:12:32 It's funny to me that most of the comments here have to do with ownership pets — I think of this place more every bit a place to get pet supplies. They have a reasonable, if non astonishing selection of pet products, pet food, etc. — probably more than than annihilation else in Davis at the moment, but that's non a very loftier bar. The "pick out your own treat" sounded similar a good idea to me until I saw the treats — they all look and odour like cookies. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't give a domestic dog something like that because it'south just going to make the dog want the human version. The people in the preparation surface area are friendly and seem to genuinely care about the animals, only the setup there is a bit dour (animals in cages off in a separate room, often only left in that location to bawl), and we've had trouble with not being taken at the time of our appointment, and then that the dog but ends upwards sitting effectually. The first time they did what nosotros asked them to, simply the 2d time some things were left undone. —CovertProfessor
- Two of the treats in the treat bar are actually low fatty treats (a lot of people like to apply them for training), the pretzel shaped ones and the lilliputian multi-colored balls. The grooming department is pretty popular, then sometimes they become behind on things. If something y'all requested isn't washed, merely let them know and I'chiliad certain they'll be happy to gear up it. -JennSuzuki
- Thank you for the info on the treats — I'll await for the depression-fat ones. Equally for the grooming department, yes, they become backside, merely the result is that your domestic dog is left by itself in a muzzle while they deal with the backlog. Later 6 hours of that, I'm not going to subject a dog to more than grooming. Every bit I said, they are nice people, and perhaps they are forced to take a certain number of appointments per solar day, but (in my experience, anyway) it's more than than they can handle. —CovertProfessor
2007-10-21 12:14:05 After having ownership several fish there, I take this to say: *Do not use our Hard tap water for your fish without regulating the Ph level to run into your fish's needs, and always use the bones dechlorinator/conditioner too. This may have been partly why people take said their fish always dice. *Always expect for Parasites on the fish at the store, and make certain the fish y'all buy is pond unremarkably and doesn't look discolored. *Exercise not buy their feeder fish for pets (buy pet goldfish instead)
I would also similar to note that all of my fish here accept survived a few months and so far, and they are doing great. Utilize the noesis of the staff to select a good filter, and ever bring a sample every once in a while to examination to see if your water is good for your fish. Fish are very sensitive, and require a lot of attending to their water quality. Please keep that in heed when selecting a fish for a pet. Also research fish before putting them together in aquariums because unlike species have different temperature and social needs.
I have been very successful with Petco's fish. —AnnaF
2007-eleven-06 00:58:39 I've noticed that tropical fish in northern california are significantly more expensive than their southern california counterparts. For example fish like the cerise devil cichlid which i bought for $7 in socal is 45 here, is it just in the sac area or all over nor cal? —heyitsdimo
2008-02-twenty 08:17:16 This petco is a nice place to purchase supplies, especially for regular old dogs and cats. I'k somewhat amused and a little more dismayed at their huge selection of dog article of clothing and little dog handbags. Seriously? How many little doggy sailer outfits and rain jackets do they sell? I'd exist happier with the place if they used that space to conduct more useful products for birds, reptiles and pocket-sized mammals. I see a lot of fish talk on the comments, only if anyone knew a good reptile place in Sacramento, I'd be happy to hear of it. —CaitlinMorrow
2008-03-x 11:59:35 I took my canis familiaris to get groomed here and she left completely freaked out! I had originally taken her to become her glands cleaned. They talked me into the full service and I agreed. Not but did the glans remain full after I picked her upwardly, merely the next time I tried to breast-stroke her, she had a panic attack. —maymay
2008-04-xv 16:00:30 A skillful place to impale twenty minutes and to adopt a pet from the SCPA. I got my domestic dog Snowpup there. —thelonepiper555
2008-07-27 14:22:thirteen the terminal time i was here, one of the workers ( a female) was RUDE Across BELIEF. makes me have doubts whether i'm coming here a 2nd fourth dimension :/ They certainly seem a bit racist... —whatheFUNK
- How were they racist? —JoePomidor
- I'm wondering this too, because I knew somebody who worked there and they were a bit racist. Could you draw the employee? —HannahFolkes
2008-08-twenty 21:54:13 oh god, the racism card. just considering someone was rude to y'all doesnt mean they are racist. quit using your colour equally an excuse. —patrick82
If yous're saying that racism doesn't exist in Davis, you're certainly mistaken.
2008-08-21 20:fourteen:47 Does anyone accept any experience with their preparation department? I wanted to driblet my dog off to get groomed during my dejeuner hour and wondered if they will concur him until I go off piece of work around six. Do training places unremarkably permit you exit your pets there for that long? It would be five hours or so... —carrisaharding
-I have used their training department and yes it is possible for you lot to get out your dog at that place around your lunch fourth dimension and then selection information technology up again afterward later on work. Their training section is pretty skilful imho.
2008-09-08 11:56:32 I tried to pay my $l+ nib with a hundred and they treated me like a potential criminal and counterfeiter. —JimStewart
2008-09-08 21:51:44 It'south shop policy to take a manager check out any $50 or $100 bill. —JennSuzuki
2008-09-30 xi:36:34 Last year I noticed a very ill Parakeet and the employees were non at all cooperative when I asked that something be done to assistance this bird-long story brusque, the bird was taken out when I "insisted" on it, and immediately died in my easily (it was emaciated). I was accused of "killing" the bird (how absurd!) and told past the Assistant Director that they would call the Police on me if I e'er came back to the store. Petco needs to take responsibility for this because the bird didn't get that manner overnight and how lame to try and pivot the blame on me.... —Lory
2008-11-05 12:06:37 petco really is a horrible place where animals become to die, i've been several times and each time you can spot the expressionless or dying ones with ease. likewise bad they don't care —WeiChun
2008-12-02 xix:55:51 petco is terrible. no i should past annihilation from them if they don't take to. I just go there to buy rats considering I have an 8 pes crimson tail boa and it is the only place within a practical distance that sells rats. I detest going there though considering they sell the same rats for pets equally for feeders. information technology'southward terrible. back home I only purchase feeder rats that are bred equally such. plus, the people who work there are Ever really rude to me and take forever to help me grab a rat - there can be three people at the registers kickin it and talking and no one will come out to help me.
and about the whole fish thing - the reason most of the fish die is considering most big pet bondage (peculiarly petco) catch their fish by spraying poison into where ever the fish are hiding which causes the fish to ordinarily come out to escape the poison or they pass out then the people catch them and bring them to the stores. the fish are stunned from the poison only ordinarily die or at to the lowest degree get very ill soon after - aka when you lot buy them.
there is a lot of shady business organization going on in the pet merchandise manufacture and I wouldn't trust e'er buying a pet from some place like petco. don't support them if you don't have to. there are other pet supply stores. —brie311
2008-12-31 11:34:42 My wife and I buy about all of our cat supplies at that place and nosotros've never had anything simply positive experiences. From the floor people to the register, everyone'south ever nice, offer to aid when I await like I'thou lost and accept the time to become what I need. They likewise help with the Yolo County SPCA to assist adopt out foster cats and dogs. We've fostered several kittens and the people at Petco are e'er so helpful nigh the adoption days. In add-on, I oasis't found lower prices on the same products anywhere in Davis. Believe me, I've tried. —condemned2bfree
2009-01-12 eleven:46:44 Petco is nifty for pet supplies. They also take a squeamish preparation station. In terms of buying pets though(dogs).... it may seem like an like shooting fish in a barrel place to observe what you lot are looking for but you lot are ameliorate off checking the newspaper for individual owners selling puppies. Who would desire to buy an animate being from a franchise? God only knows where they get the animals from.... and if you are non picky y'all can always come up in on a saturday and the SPCA has dogs that yous can adopt.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't buy whatever animal, fish, or reptile from a big concatenation of stores like petco, only they are nevertheless a great place to shop for accessories! Just my 2 cents. —Sylvano
2009-01-22 xiii:27:18 I've had mixed experiences here. I found a bird in my car (it's a funny story so ask me about information technology some time) and took it to petco. They knew very little about it and tried to tell me it was a sparrow (it was a finch). When I decided to go along it they were friendly and helpful at selling me accouterments and toys for the bird. An aside; their vaccination clinics are fast, and friendly. The prices for accessories, toys, and food seems to be inexpensive and of good quality. I just wouldn't recommend getting advice or pets there. —MasonMurray
2009-02-25 22:06:55 I have mixed reviews on PETCO.I like coming here for supplies when they accept sales and dear their clearance section. You can find lots of deals and specials if you watch the ads. Some of my finds include medium sized Nylabones originally marked 7 dollars and on sale for $ane.l. Saturdays are a great day to come considering representatives come hither to promote their products and often mitt out samples, freebies, and even coupons for free products. Being a pet sitter I buy a lot of canis familiaris toys and am happy to report that they carry most of the skilful quality ones. I was dissapointed to find that PETCO is still carrying the pimple ball with bong .DO NOT Buy THIS TOY http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/) Now on to the fish which seems to exist a controversy on the wiki. You practise need to condition the water with whatever fish tank especially with Davis water. The cardinal and success to buying fish from PETCO is to avoid tanks with sick,dead, or unhealthy fish thata have ick(white spots on bodies and tail) Ask an employee if unsure, they will usually tell yous. PETCO is a major chain and way overstocks their fish tanks and and then there are fish that are floating in the tank dead in at least every 3 or and so tanks. That said, if yous go on a Wed when PETCO gets their fish shipment their selection is going to be better and the fish should be healthier. I have bought a few fish from PETCO and have non had any problems. They will also requite you lot baby fry for gratuitous if you enquire for them. They accept a great option of fish supplies and foods and are cheaper then ACE on supplies and average in cost on fish compared to ACE. —ElizabethBarthel
2009-06-08 22:08:38 Why on earth does it matter what the rats are "bred for?" That is the stupidest complaint I think I've ever heard. Tin someone elaborate why it'due south terrible to sell rats in one muzzle for people to do equally they wish, rather than in ii cages— one labeled "feeder" and one "pet"? —JohnathanQuigley
- Because feeder animals are horribly inbred and suffer mental and physical defects and are prone to disease. If you're just planning on feeding them to snakes, information technology doesn't matter — only go out 2 rats in a tank, allow them breed, and then let all the sisters and brothers breed together and repeat. It'due south also done quite often with feeder mice — it'south a very mutual practice if you lot just desire to raise small animals to feed to other animals. The problem is that if you're planning on hand raising them equally pets, y'all become all kind of problems with those inbred feeder lineages. For a pet, you lot really want a intentionally bred lineage or at least genetic diversity. If you're thinking the distinction is just due to some kind of moral stardom, it isn't — it's elementary difficult and scientific genetics, and applies in the same way to any other animal used for food or otherwise genetically culled at that generation like rabbits or chickens. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards
- In that instance, the issue is selling inbred/suffering mice every bit pets (or selling them at all), non with selling pet rats as feeders (or selling the aforementioned rats for each.) I don't know if I've fabricated myself articulate, so forgive me if I'm repeating myself. I certainly acknowledge a problem in selling inbred animals as pets. However, if the animals sold as pets are inbred and suffering, I'm assuming the complaint would have been worded that way, instead of "they sell the aforementioned mice for feeders as for pets." Are they using a feeder lineage as pets? Or are they allowing you to buy a pet lineage every bit feeders? From my trips to the store, no suffering on account of genetic defects was credible, so I presume the latter is the case.
- Rats for pets also need to exist hand tamed, and conditioned to be OK with people. Information technology seems rather cruel to me to become the rats used to being held, and then abuse that trust and feed them to a snake. —MM
- I've gotten several genetically defective mice from this Petco. Defective every bit in a breeder health fault: one had congenital skin problems, ane had mental issues with compulsive waltzing (a technical term for a item beliefs), and one had neurotic preparation to cocky mutilation (and mutilated another poor female person in the isolation cage). More importantly for this give-and-take, these are all problems that make the mice unsuitable for pets. These are all common side effects of poor genetics, and the last is aggravated by lack of paw training. These are all from fancy mice being sold every bit pets or food. Some other big chains have distinct cages of mice bachelor equally either pets or feeder animals (with the pets being more expensive, every bit they are more difficult to breed). The situation is only put: the source for Petco's mice are of poor genetics for pets. Fine for food. Bad for pets. That's the but problem with them. Also, I doubt you'd encounter many genetic defects while looking at them at the store, every bit the fatal genetic problems have already been fished out, and the behavioral and more subtle physical issues are commonly non often credible in the tank. Most of this doesn't matter at all — unless you want to get pet mice, which is one of the reasons people get to Petco. Then information technology's a pretty important distinction. I have no idea most their rats; I don't heighten rats. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards
By the fashion— I'm curious now. I heard 2 customers in front of me at PetCo laughing about how PETA had made people stop separating the mice into colors because it was "racist." I had no idea what they were talking well-nigh, and forgot most it until at present. Could it be that PETA wanted to stop this separation to reduce inbreeding, but other people take mischaracterized their intentions? Do you have any light to shed on this for me?
- I've never heard of this, and it doesn't make much sense. They are divided by sex, and you tin can put a male texel red in with a male person variegated dove all you lot desire and they aren't going to breed (in breeder circles, this is known as "You lot're doing information technology incorrect"). In most cases they are split when sexed before they make it at the shop, although I do not know if this is the case for Petco. They certainly divide them by sex in the shop. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards
2009-06-22 16:43:33 I beloved the Petco hither, but the hamsters I've gotten there don't last very long. I got i from dwelling house and it has lasted a year and a half at present, simply the ones I got there died subsequently 2 weeks =( Otherwise, I'd recommend the Davis Petco! —kashou
2009-07-23 16:32:18 The help is mediocre at this shop, but the preparation is just awful. One of the groomers is loud and obnoxious and is really rough with the dogs. Every bit I was walking by she yanked a dog off the tabular array without fifty-fifty bothering to lower it. I have a friends that will no longer take their dogs hither to be groomed considering of the mean natured grooming they provide. Ironically, this same groomer does pet sitting from her habitation (service was offered to me when she eavesdropped on a conversation I was having) and is the dog grooming instructor for Petco. —DogLover
2009-11-10 15:04:13 I take been taking my two dogs to Petco for the concluding ii years for their grooming and they do a wonderful chore! Diana is the groomer who always takes intendance of my girls and she is splendid. My dogs are brats and dont even let me brush them or anything, but they let her. I would highly recommend them! As for the staff at the front, they aren't very helpful but they are ever nice. —Lreynolds
2010-01-12 nineteen:22:31 WHAT THE FUCK???? WHERE ARE ALL THE SEAMONKEYS!!!! —DripsJ
2010-01-xxx 21:29:51 BAD Grooming! one of the girls is super rough. they put my dog in a box with a force dryer built in...how TRAUMATIZING! I have a golden retriever, that HAD and i echo HAD beautiful hair, and always since i took him there his pilus has non grown the same. The feathering is GONE! they had used the furminator on him! which is a comb with a blade!!! —SamiSam
2010-02-01 08:12:22 I come here sometimes to buy fish. Compared to the fish I have bought in other stores like wal-mart and pet farthermost in woodland, the ones from petco are less likely to survive the transistion into my aquarium. Y'all can also notice some of the same ish for a lot cheaper at pet extereme. —RealComputers
2010-04-06 08:50:13 ok stuff. not wowed by the prices. —guarunga
2010-08-07 21:12:27 I don't know his name, only in that location is a guy working here that usually seems to hang effectually the fish. He is actually helpful! When our fish tank started leaking badly he helped us find a suitable temporary replacement and too gave us advice on how to prepare the one-time tank (which we did successfully). He seems pretty knowledgeable on fish.
We've besides brought my true cat and dogs here on several occasions and they are always well treated. We do non utilize the grooming service considering we groom our own dogs, but we actually bought the supplies here and got some great advice on which stuff was skillful for our needs. The clippers we purchased 3 years ago are however working smashing! —themichelle
2010-08-12 15:05:57 They no longer groom cats verified on 8/12/2010 —AlexHandy
2010-12-xix 14:16:01 workers here exercise not know their products. most of the dog nutrient sold here is low quality stuff that has past products and corn. unless you want to raise an unhealthy pet, Practise Not buy their food. I rec driving fifteen min to Woodland and bank check out Pet Extreme past Costco. Another sign that they do not know what they are doing is their live animal department. I accept notwithstanding to go and see tanks of salubrious fish. They are usually expressionless, dying or in quarantine. I simply become here when i need new toys for my puppy. —JasonS
2011-01-17 17:24:56 Buyer BEWARE!!! PETCO HAS A HARD AND FAST Dominion THAT THEY Will NOT Render OR Commutation ANY MERCHANDISE Afterward xxx-DAYS, EVEN IF Information technology IS A PETCO Brand Product AND IT IS Defective!! I recently bought a $twenty Petco branch retractable leash that broke afterward about 10 uses (no longer retracted). When I brought it back to the shop they refused to commutation it for ane that worked considering the purchase had been made more than 30 days ago. I would await more than ten uses out of such an expensive leash. I purchased the product right before leaving for vacation and did not even open up it for the commencement time until more than 30 days later my buy. I recommend taking your business concern to a place with better customer service - that's what I will exercise in the future. —BeeHarlow
2011-03-29 12:57:35 I accept had really good luck with intelligent caring workers in the reptile section. Lesandra (?) the reptile specialist manifestly really knows her stuff nigh snakes and I got wonderful help from the actually overnice guy with long brown pilus that works in the reptile surface area also. One thing I really love is that if they do non know an answer they will tell you directly out and give you some ideas as to where to expect for the right one, which in my opinion is wayyyy meliorate than people that barefaced or make upward answers that can lead to damage to your pet.
I noticed that their corn snakes had mites but when I brought information technology up they responded that they knew and told me about the regiment they were going through to treat them. I would still never purchase a reptile there, simply it is not the workers faults' that Petco buys whole-sale unhealthy animals. From what I have seen the workers practice their best to keep the reptiles they receive healthy and happy.
Also Petco has the cheapest frozen rats and mice yous tin can find in Davis. If I cannot get to Berkeley to buy them at East Bay Vivarium I buy my snake's dinner at Petco. —DanielleC
2011-05-14 sixteen:58:35 I wish there was another pet shop in Davis. The employees are then lazy. I always have to wait forever for somebody to get me crickets. They announce over the intercom that i need crickets and nobody shows up. So they have to do it over again. Some other time when I went in I was waiting at the register and all the employees were simply standing at that place talking and occasionally glancing over at me. WTF. At that place is an employee at that place that freaks me out. He always says really stupid things to me. I try to avoid him. —rachealgalante
- In that location IS another pet store. :) Davis Ace Pet on fourth St. They sell crickets likewise, equally well as canis familiaris/cat/fish food & supplies, and fifty-fifty chicken and horse feed. The large crickets are in an attainable expanse and then you lot can bag your own if you'd like, if non the employees are more than willing to do then. —gurglemeow
2011-05-24 18:06:fifty I used to accept my cat here to get his nails clipped with no issues but one twenty-four hours I was told that in that location was not anyone in that location at the time who was qualified to perform the service. The person who told me this was the very person who had clipped his nails every unmarried time I had previously brought him in. Perhaps they were non supposed to exist doing it and got in problem and were forced to stop? So the side by side fourth dimension I called in advance to figure out if someone who was qualified was there and they told me that they simply prune cats' nails at 8 am considering there are less dogs to upset the cats. The process takes a whole three minutes and my true cat never minded the several dogs wandering effectually the room just whatever, policy is policy. I am a college student. I am not getting up at eight am to get my true cat's nails clipped. It seemed shady that at outset I could come in at any time with no problem and and then i day I could only come at 8 am so my cat wouldn't exist upset. Other than that I haven't had any problems with the trade or staff. Information technology would be overnice if they had more cashiers. One cashier offered to deport a box of litter to my car for me but acted similar simply offering this really put him out. I carried information technology myself only appreciated the semi-sincere offer. —LoriOrf

2011-08-10 16:eleven:55 The prices at Petco are pretty awful. Two examples: I bought a chew-proof water bottle for $14 and then saw it at Pet Farthermost for $10. And the $15 big bag of hay I get at Petsmart is usually "on sale" at Petco for $xx. The other problem is that with a smaller location like this one they don't always have everything in stock. For example, the final couple times I went in they only had smaller bags of hay. If you take an bodily movie of a competitor's price (Non an online printout), they will usually lucifer it. One of the nicer cashiers recently warned me that this policy might stop soon, though. If that happens, I'll be driving the extra distance to Petsmart. —MeggoWaffle
2012-01-15 17:03:42 Tried to take my dog here to exist mashed/brushed. They wouldn't take him without rabies paperwork which, of class, I don't keep in my wallet. He has a tag on his neckband with his rabies data, only apparently this is insufficient. I'll just go someplace else. —JoePomidor
2013-12-18 10:57:51 Don't go to any Petco - catamenia. I wanted to render some lightly used fishtanks (perfectly clean) and on the Petco website information technology says "Without receipt or over 60 days, y'all are eligible for a merchandise credit for the lowest price sold" but they won't take information technology past 30 days. Then the website and Petco return policy are all total lies. I don't listen not being able to return it, I just wish I knew the whole story earlier I bought anything then I can cistron that into my controlling process Earlier I buy anything. I'm so done with Petco. —bettafan
2015-09-14 00:48:eighteen I took my canis familiaris to the Davis, CA Petco for a training date yesterday at 11am. By 4pm, my married woman called and found it took 5 hours for Tiberius (Ty) to go bathed, but was still waiting to go clean-cut. We finally got the call to choice Ty up and reached Petco at 5pm. My wife asked what could have fabricated the grooming accept six hours. The groomer in charge (immediately defensive and confrontational) stated it took and then long because Saturdays are packed, and that Ty was peeing himself so they had to wait for him to calm down before they could proceed preparation. She insisted they had to treat other dogs earlier him because he was such a trouble. That was a boldfaced lie because I recognized the domestic dog that came in immediately later on Ty, notwithstanding being groomed, as well stuck at the groomer's for vi hours. My married woman said we would not be returning to Petco anymore, and she walked out. I walked back in, and this happened: Me: Excuse me, I'm sorry but an 11am appointment means something. Groomer: We tin can't groom a dog that's peeing on himself and...*more boldfaced lies*. Me: But six hours???? Groomer: *Continues to blame the dog, makes no effort to repent or keep our concern.* Me: Ok we're done, thank y'all. * I begin to walk out* Groomer: I GUESS Nosotros WON'T Meet YOU Once again! Ty was visibly stressed from that experience, nosotros were disrespected, and the groomer was nothing but confrontational towards us. She did this in front of well-nigh 5 other customers in the grooming surface area, then she clearly didn't care about keeping their business either. It'due south for this reason my wife and I won't be returning to Petco for any of our pet care needs. We won't go on our loftier horse and ask anyone to practise the same, but we felt this should exist shared. —jaewald
