    Beware!!! Do not hire Bianca to groom your pet. She is terribly trained and traumatized my family by destroying my Pomeranians coat. For some reason she kept saying he had to be shaved from matting when he just needed to be brushed a little he was not matted. After explicitly saying not to shave him she starts off the grooming by running the shears through his coat. I started to wave at her to stop but alas it was too late. Then she tried to return my dog half shaved no bath nothing done!!! Then after getting the manager involved she tried to say my family had approved the shaving!!! Who would approve having a pure bred poms coat shaved to the skin!!!’ We’ve gone to Petco off and on for 8 years and never have I seen a more inexperienced groomer in my life. We luckily found a good groomer after this debacle that was in agreement that he just needed a light brush and was not matted as Petco groomer Bianca had claimed. The other groomer was a godsend and did the best work she could with the mess Petco caused.

    My dog LOVES the treats from Petco and the "occasional" toy. Only downside to shopping there is often I wait a looooong time to check out. Seems they are either understaffed or are hesitant to call a second checker to the front. 90%+ of the time there is a single checker when I am in the store but they have 3 checkout lines. I am retired so not as big a deal time wise but I bet there are working folks that get a bit hot about the wait.

    I love going to Petco with my pooch as they always have the best 'stuff' for your pet! Even if you don't find what you're looking for, its fun to just look around @ all the good merch & the birds, guinea pigs, hamsters etc!
