So everyone made fun of me when I said I was going to try Petco for grooming our pups! Yes I have seen the memes 🤦🏻♀️. We have been going there for over a year and it has been the absolute best groomer we have had. And I actually feel like Chelsey, the dogs groomer there, loves our dogs and they always look perfect when they are done.
Today when I went to pick our dogs up Chelsey had a Christmas card waiting for us since we won’t be back again till after the holidays. Inside she included this adorable rendering of our dogs!! It’s such a small thing put honestly was just one more reason to add to how much we really like the service there.
Petco you have an absolute superstar in Chelsey. She has made us loyal Petco grooming customers.

I have been a loyal Petco Grooming customer for over three years and a Premier Membership holder. I recently moved and was excited to find a Petco near my new home so that my dog could continue receiving the same grooming services he has always enjoyed. Unfortunately, my recent experience has been very disappointing.
As usual, I booked my grooming appointment online. Although the appointment was initially confirmed, I later received a text stating there was no availability and that additional information was needed in order to try to fit him in. I promptly provided all requested information. However, I was then quoted nearly $100 for the same grooming service my dog has consistently received for the last three years at a cost of approximately $65.
While I understand pricing may vary from state to state, this is the same company with access to my dog’s grooming history and previous service pricing. I was told the price increase was due to my dog having “long hair,” but he is a Jack Russell with short hair, and this has never been an issue in the past.
I am very disappointed by the sudden price increase and what feels like misleading pricing (advertising a grooming service for $65 and then quoting nearly $30 more for the same service I have been receiving for years). I truly hope Petco will address these inconsistencies, as this experience does not reflect the level of service I have experienced from past locations.

The staff at Petco-Ocala are outstanding! They know by boy (large german Shepard). They welcome him with so much kindness. They calm his angst and he comes out wagging his tail. Thank you! Highly recommend

i have started taking my goldendoodle to petco to be groomed when my groomer moved away. I must say that Rebecca D is so great with my dogs and just the sweetest. You can really see in her that she cares for our fur babies and takes pride in what she does. So happy i found her
