    My Tato ( Maltipoo) and I love coming to this store. Very clean and well stocked. If I have a question, always someone on the floor to help- you don’t have to search for them. The prices and clearance are irresistible- how do they stay open with such great deals here. Lucky it’s close to home.

    If you want to check what the worst customer service looks like, you can simply visit this store. You will end up being called a liar. I went there to buy some live fish. The lady (Alec, or whatever her name was) who pretended to help me at first said she was the wrong person to ask about fish—which is understandable, since employees can specialize in certain areas. I was planning to buy a few fish, so I asked what the standard number of fish per tank should be. She looked it up on her phone and told me “7 for a 20-gallon tank. So I informed her ” We will actually have fewer than that, because we’re giving away some of the fish we currently own. Then Alec suddenly said, “I can’t sell you fish. It’s not safe for them to be with more than 7.” I confirmed again that we already set some aside, but she responded that “people tend to lie about this.” I was flabbergasted. Are you calling me a liar? I even showed my badge to indicate that I am a professional and have no reason to lie just to buy fish. It’s the kind of behavior an employee shows when they want to harm the place they work for and drive customers away—and she succeeded. I will be taking my business elsewhere. PETCO management, if you read this, you are strongly encouraged to address this behavior.

    I asked Fennce to help me but she said she’s helping another customer and then she sent me to the wrong place, I waited for her to finish with the customer to help me out, but she went to the register and start helping customers to check out and ignoring me.
