I really enjoy going to this Petco! Everyone is so nice and helpful, it’s a really warm atmosphere. Bekah in particular is always so helpful with my aquatic purchases, her advice has benefited my fish-keeping skills 100%. The cashiers are also really sweet, especially when my bulldog Rocco joins me on these trips!

I’ve been taking my dogs for years to see the veterinarian, we purchased the vital care premier, That supposed to cover your comprehensive exam, for 400 a year that is super expensive because he only goes ones a year but we did it anyway, today they couldn’t fined my membership so they made me paid for the exam, that is $90 dollars, when already paid 400 for the year, they said that I have to call customer service to get them to reimbursed me the amount we paid, what a waste of my time. No customer service at all, we will not go back there.
