I’m still upset thinking about what happened to my dog, Yuki, at this Petco. I trusted them with her, and they gave her half a haircut, left her soaking wet, and then shut her in a kennel where she cried and barked nonstop for 30–45 minutes. Hearing her distress—and knowing she was alone, confused, and uncomfortable—broke my heart.
What hurts the most is that she wasn’t treated with the basic care or kindness any animal deserves. She wasn’t comforted, she wasn’t finished, and she wasn’t even dried. She was just left there… scared, wet, and calling out for help.
No explanation. No reassurance. Just neglect.
I walked in expecting a simple grooming appointment. Instead, I walked out feeling like I’d failed my dog by trusting the wrong place. Petco needs to take a hard look at how they treat the animals in their care, because no pet—and no owner—should ever go through this.
Last time she was out in less than an hour. This time the lady said 4 hours. She was there less than an hour you half cut her left for wet to cry for 2 hours before you decided to finish? Jesus Christ!!! How messed up this is. Photo was after we got home still damp.

They did a great job giving my dog a haircut. All the groomers were very sweet.

This is the 3rd appt that his nails could not be clipped, however at previous Petco they were clipped. I also add on the extra shedding service and it does not seem as if it’s done. I could tell before his shedding would be minimal for 4 weeks but at this location it’s not. I plan to give 1 more try before leaving.
