  Took my dog in for 1st bath. Asked only for bath as advertised puppy bath. She offered shaving and other services. Just requested trim of nails if warranted. As well as hair trim on chin and near eyes. She only did bath. I could have saved 32.00 and did it myself. She weighs only 10lb. I loved that there was 5.99 materials fee. Wasn't made aware. As well as they texted my husband even though they verified contact info at check in. But what really makes not want to return was few of the girls attitudes. As well as inability to do what was asked and NOT answer questions. Never got an explanation as to what materials fee covered. Never going back.

  Zack did a great job, but didn’t blow dry my dog, Josie. It was a cold day outside, so I was kind of disappointed, as that is why I came and didn’t wash her myself. Hopefully they see this post and make sure to dry her next time. I just don’t want her to get sick. Thank you!

  I give the groomer a 5 but the person who helped a 3. She was annoyed by all our questions. Also we purposely waited till 2 for happy hour pricing and they charged full price.

  Rip-off alert: Be sure to check your bill BEFORE you pay at the College Ave Petco grooming location in Oceanside. In addition to recent significant price increases and the $5.99 materials fee for each dog, there was an additional $10.00 added to each dog. I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t ask for a breakdown of the total cost. I’ve been bringing our dogs to Petco grooming at multiple locations (including this one) throughout California for years and have never been charged this. No one mentioned this in advance, and my small dogs (10-15 pounds) were the same as always. (I even brush them in advance to make it easier.) The extremely unprofessional and rude manager tried to say that “the groomer needs to get paid what he’s worth” (as if he receives this hidden fee, which he does not) and then when I politely stood my ground, acted as if she was doing me a favor when she finally removed the $10 charges. Our groomer did a good job. That manager needs A LOT of training in customer service, and whatever reason is causing this new secret up-charge needs to be corrected. It’s clearly a money grab.
