I took my 2 danes into the River Forest Petco to pick up some food 11/9/25. I always have positive experiences at this location, and this was no different. On this day, and employee took the time to inform me that there was a deaf Boston terrier up front that would be fearful of my boys. While I always make sure my dogs are respectful of other's space and don't greet without invitation, I appreciate the forewarning so that we could adjust our approach to the registers and make sure no one was startled. Little details like this show that the staff here know their customers and give individual consideration to animals visiting their store. Thank you!

Got my 2-year-old Yorkie groomed here for the first time and was a little skeptical after some bad experiences elsewhere. But David did a great job with my girl! I really appreciate that he took the time to listen when I explained her temperament and sensitive spots — most groomers rush through that part. His attention and care immediately put me at ease. Definitely recommend this location!
