    My recent visits to Petco New York Avenue have been nothing but outstanding. From the courteous knowledgeable staff members to the cashier, have exceeded all expectations. It’s funny, but my initial visit to Petco was to pixk-up and online order for the 9 gallon Fluvall tank. I am simply fascinated with the style, size, and efficiency of this tank. My most recent visit was to pick up a dew items for a beautiful tan, brown and white Tabby Kitten. So without question, I look forward to many more visits to my neighborhood New York Avenue Petco! Keep up the good work.

    There is few people that should not be working on customer service, went with my nephew 7yo and nice 3yo, they were extremely excited about to get some fish, when a worker showed up, I ask him politely if we can choose the fish or is randomly selected, he answer in front of the kids , THEY ARE NOT PETS , with a bad attitude, i never let nobody disrespect me but in this case didn’t said anything just because the kids,… plz people if u dont like your job get a job you like,…
