Grooming department is always fast and good at nail trims! My dog is a bit fussy but they’re great with him.

I am disappointed with the quality and selection of the prepackaged crickets available for purchase. Consistently, more than half of the crickets in each container arrive dead or die shortly thereafter, rendering a significant portion unusable. Furthermore, small-sized crickets are rarely, if ever, available in the bagged options, severely limiting suitable choices for owners of juvenile reptiles.
When I specifically sought small crickets for my juvenile gecko, I was informed that none were in stock. Staff then advised that medium crickets would be an acceptable substitute. Regrettably, these medium crickets were excessively large—exceeding the width of the gecko’s head—resulting in the gecko refusing to consume.
Enhanced inventory management to ensure consistent availability of small crickets, improved viability of live stock, and more accurate sizing guidance from staff would significantly improve the experience for reptile owners.

A+ customer service at the check out today from an employee named Ryan. He tipped me off to signing up for vital care to get a great discount for my large purchase today and also made sure I was aware of all the future discounts and deals I could get. He even called on-site to make sure any points or discounts were registered and available on my account. As a former employee of petco I know personally that the level of customer service I received today was excellent and I felt well cared for as an individual customer. Thank you Ryan, from Milo and leopard gecko Valerie! Give this dude a bonus 👍

I would never use the curbside service again. I waited 20 min, then went inside and stood in line for another 15 to get my order. No one even acknowledged that it was supposed to be a curbside pickup.

Do not trust Petco or their employees. They will lie to make a sale.
I'm stuck paying a monthly subscription of $25 to Petco Vitalcare just because I made the mistake of shopping here.
I've reached out to try to cancel but it's been impossible.
I hope you're happy.
