Purchase a 4.5 Lb Natural balance Dog Food from the Petco in Wilmington NC
Store employee told me I have 60 days to return the food.
Than I found out my dog has urinary tract infection.
So I wanted to return the Natural Balance 4.5 lb bag to the store
When to return than they tell me no returns after 30 days.
They said the employee who told me 60 days was wrong.
I spent so much money in this store with food & treats & grooming
And they won't take back a $20 bag of dry dog food.
I will never step foot in any Petco again.

I took my cat to the vet and it was easy. You text when you park. They text you when to come in. Very nice people.

Petco, where you can wait up to 30 minutes to look at a pet you may want to take home.... the folks are friendly though and the sales are worth looking into.

The tag on a dog toy said $17.99. The store had put a sticker over it apparently, and it rang up $20. There was no sticker on the tag when I grabbed it off the shelf fyi. We spend over 7k a year at this location because we spoil our multiple pets. This is the last straw. There are bugs in the bathroom every visit, more and more pride merch shoved in our faces, and them ripping me off for 2 bucks is the last straw. I tried to be loyal even though we had moved and have to drive further to this location for our pets food, toys, and treats. We've been coming here since it opened. No more. Petsmart is my go-to now. At least you don't have to worry about a bug crawling up your pant leg there, plus they have cats for adoption now we can go look at and pet. Thanks for the big disappointment, I really dont like to change my habits but petsmart it is!
