Veterinarian availability varies—book an appointment to ensure one is onsite. Clinics provide only routine vaccines and preventive tests. For emergencies, visit the nearest emergency vet hospital.
The Vetco Vaccination Clinics are great. They get you in and out at a reasonable price. BUT, if the veterinarian writes a prescription (for heartworm prevention, in my case), make sure it's for the EXACT product you intend to order. My order has been cancelled twice now by Petco Pharmacy because the veterinarian wrote for Heartgard, instead of Iverhart. I noticed the error and mentioned it while we were still there. I was assured that Iverhart is the generic of Heartgard and, since the vet had authorized generics/substitutions, it would not be a problem. This has absolutely not been my experience and, once you leave, there is zero hope of speaking to a customer service rep who can actually help. All Petco phone numbers lead to the same outsourced customer service call center. So, the reps just read the same script over and over, even when your issue isn't in the script. I have spoken to at least 6 different reps, in varying departments affiliated with Petco customer service, with no resolution. The last person put me on hold to transfer my call. After a few minutes of holding (music accompanied by woofing, meowing, and tweeting sounds let you know you're still connected), someone picked up and disconnected the call entirely. So, per the woefully unhelpful reps, I'm left with these 2 options. 1. I take my dog to my vet's office, pay for another exam, and get a new prescription or 2. I schedule another appointment during a Vetco Vaccination Clinic, take my dog back to the store, and hope they can issue a new prescription without charging me, since I already paid for the exam, heartworm test, and vaccinations. Option 2 would be fine IF my dog liked going to Petco, but she doesn't. So, both options = unnecessary stress and inconvenience for something that should have been simple.

Abusive, stay away!!
We went to Vetco for vaccines and they were horrible. He had his CGC and was working towards SAR, so he was wonderful with people and pets. He was forcibly abused by the vet tech, who literally walked in and tried to grab him, our dog got scared and tried to run, and the tech then body slammed him to the floor. He didn't do anything to the vet tech to warrant that treatment (was just standing there when he walked in), and was so scared from the encounter that he now pees and expresses his glands whenever we go close to a Petco. We've spend tons of time and over $5,000 in continuous training to try to help him recover, and he still has trauma. He will now nip at anyone and pee who tries to touch him. It is devastating to see our poor boy like this. I tell everyone, stay away from Vetco!!
