  Petco - Where the pets go... and me too.

Where the pets go... and me too.

There isn't much that I like better than a store where I can bring my furry companion. They sure don't approve of me bringing her in Walmart... I love Petco for their "bar-like" selection of animal cookies, for carrying dog-foods that aren't carried elsewhere (in our town) and for recognizing that pets are just as important as people in our lives. Yay for Petco! view more

Petco is where MY pets go

I love shopping at PetCo. I have been a PALS member for many years and love getting the 20% coupons in the mail. My favorite section is the sale items. My dogs go crazy for some of the toys and they are very affordable. I usually walk out purchasing way more than I went in planning to buy. view more

PETCO for all your animal needs

PETCO is the best animal supplies retailer. I have been to others, but none compare as far as price and availability. They even have pets for sale; like birds, fish, and reptiles. PETCO offers reward cards to redeem points and discounts. view more

  Petco - One of my favorite pet stores

One of my favorite pet stores

Petco is my favorite of the large chain pet stores. They seem to be reasonably priced, have a friendly and helpful staff, and have a decent selection of pet supplies. I can usually find what I'm looking for at Petco! view more

  Petco - I love Petco

I love Petco

When I rescued my shih tzu, I realized how different all the chain pet stores were. I love petco because everytime I go in they are so helpful and always cheerful. My dog doesn't tend to like strangers, so when I take her into the store by our house, the associates remember her and will always talk to her but never reach out to pet her. The cookie "bar" is the most amazing thing. My dog has had all of them and now has her own favorite cookie. view more

Petco-the place where pets go! :)

I have never been a huge pet love but since we got our doggie, Petco has become my favorite place! I love that I can bring my dog in there with me. They prices are pretty decent and I love the key tag they scan when you go in. Most Petco employees that I have interacted with are really nice, and seem to be pet lovers. It's nice to get some good advice and also I love the fact the Petco hosts pet adoptions!! view more

  Petco - Great variety!

Great variety!

I go here for most of my pets needs (litter, ferret food, toys, etc.).. The only issue I have is that some of their locations aren't taken care of.. The store always smells! I know they sell animals and that can add to it, but Petsmart sells animals as well and the stinch isn't anywhere near the same at Petco's. I do like the wide variety of ferret toys and treats that they have, however, I do not like how dirty their ferrets cages are.. the litter boxes aren't changed very often, and the poor things need more space. view more

  Petco - Convienent

Convienent

Petco is a convenient place for one stop pet shopping. They carry the brand of dog food I buy for my dogs. The do not sell my brand in supermarkets, Target/Walmart, or Wholesale stores. Petco usually offers our dog food on sale, which is great but it's still usually cheaper at Pet Smart. We choose Petco because it is closer. They also have a great dog treat bar where you can mix and match dog treats that are sold by the pound. They offer a great variety of treats that are cheaper than buying the pre-packaged stuff. they also have a large variety of pet toys, beds, collars/leashes and anything else you would need for your family pet. view more

Petco is a great store. When it comes to their pets and their furry friends accessories are great. Their accessories for fish are terribly expensive and they honestly don't have a much different variety then your average mom and pop fish store. view more

  Petco - My NEW Favorite Pet Store

My NEW Favorite Pet Store

I discovered PetCo when I moved to San Antonio, TX and they are now my top pet store. They have a large selection of all natural, organic and holistic food (much larger than other big stores) and their staff is actually educated about the difference in quality ingredients. Become a PETCO Pal member and receive a quarterly 15% coupon off your entire purchase if you spent $200 in the last quarter. These are great coupons to stack with manufactures coupons and to stock up on supplies with. Great selection, friendly staff, high value coupons, good weekly deals. Overall a great store! view more

  Petco - Not my top pick...

Not my top pick...

I find Petco quite overpriced, even their sale items actually. If you have a Petsmart, I would shop there instead! But of course if you don't, then Petco will have to do. They do have a big selection of items but once again things just seem to cost so much more there than at other leading pet stores... view more

  Petco - Mediocre

Mediocre

If you need to pick something up at a good price, then the selection here is probably what you're looking for. As far as the conditions the pets are in... it's disheartening, and I can't even go in the store anymore because of it. view more

  Petco - Petco, my favorite pet store

Petco, my favorite pet store

I like Petco for many reasons. The closest stores are 2 to 3 hours away, so I do lots of online shopping. My pets are recognized on their birthdays and I benefit because they give a birthday discount. We did go to a Petco store while on a shopping trip to the big city, and decided to buy a tortoise. It didn't do well at all and with their return policy we were able to return and exchange for another tortoise. The new tortoise is doing well, healthy and active. view more

  Petco - Petco has a great variety of products

Petco has a great variety of products

I like that Petco has a nice selection of products for pets. I just have a very hard time getting anyone to help me when I am in the store and I have a hard time getting anyone to answer a question I might have. It took me about 10 minutes to locate someone to help me in the small animals area of the store. It's just a bit frustrating and very difficult especially when you have 2 children with you as well. view more

  Petco - My fave big pet store

My fave big pet store

I prefer Petco to the other big pet store because it tends to have a better selection and better prices on premium (grain-free) cat food. I also like that they do a cat food club, where your 11th bag is free (and I have some hungry cats!) I also have ferrets, though, and there petco is more disappointing. They sell ferrets, unlike most other chain stores, and the conditions those ferrets are kept in is hit or miss. Most of the employees I've talked to know very little about ferrets - I've had them for 15 years so know what I'm doing - and I'm often surprised by the misinformation they give me when trying to sell me another ferret. I have bought a few ferrets at Petco, and two of those times the baby ferrets brought in serious diseases that killed one of my older ferrets; I learned my lesson and would not buy a ferret from them again. I'm also disappointed that they only sell (and then recommend as good!) low quality ferret food. view more

  Petco - Great Store

Great Store

I love the story because you can bring your pets in with you as you shop. The sales are great, when they have them. Now the prices could be cheaper but I love the story since it is a pet store and has many things for your pet or your potential pet(s). I love it just wish it was cheaper! view more

  Petco - Prefer Petsmart over Petco

Prefer Petsmart over Petco

First of all, Petco is overpriced, even on sale. Shopping from them online is ridiculous since free shipping isn't even offered until you spend $60 (at least right now). I don't like internet only type sales, just make it a sale, period. The Petco card isn't worth much in savings. The employees at my local store are less than enthusiastic, which is putting it mildly. I only shop there when I can't find what I need at Petsmart, which isn't too often. I highly recommend Petsmart over Petco any day. view more

  Petco - Horrid

Horrid

I went in to my local Petco to look at getting an additional ferret. To my horror, their conditions were disgusting. The water was a milk chocolate color, they were all covered in their own feces, and had no fresh food in the octagon at all. Hoping that this was just playful ferrets at their worst, I spoke to the manager. He promptly informed me that ferret water should be brown in color, its just what it looks like. That the cage would be cleaned tomorrow and that they had been fed already. Now I own ferrets and know all of that to be very untrue and unsafe. Ferrets should never be out of food with their metabolisms and their vitamin supplements for water are clear yellow not milk chocolate brown. I will never visit their again!!! view more

Good For Supplies, but Often Seems Dirty

I'll only go to Petco in a pinch. Sure, they have the supplies to would come to expect of a major pet supply store, but often I find the store dirty and unkept. A major turn off for me when shopping for pet products. view more

I started to use Petco to groom my three dogs a few months ago. I use to go to Petsmart, but the customer service skills that the groomers have there is bad. Since I've been going to Petco I've been very pleased with how my dogs have been groomed. They also have much better customer service skills! view more

  Petco - Are you sure Petco is where the pets go?

Are you sure Petco is where the pets go?

I have found the Petco is not my choice of place to take my dog. I have several times, thinking it would be exciting for her, but it was a let down. Not only did things cost more then I wanted but non of the workers came up and said hello to her. Instead I got looks as if to say "make sure you dog doesn't pee on the ground" If I did get something and went to pay for it, the cashier didn't day ho to her at all. It is as if she was not there. No yummy treats for her, no friendly pat. Petco is NOT where I pet goes. view more

  Petco - Good supply store, horrible pet store

Good supply store, horrible pet store

While this store seems to rank about average in terms of pet supplies (both what they keep in stock and prices), I cannot condone the purchase of actual pets through this company. I know people who have rescued more mistreated animals from PetCo than from anywhere else. There was a big YouTube video campaign about this a couple years ago, and to my knowledge the issues raised by this campaign were never solved. Because of this knowledge I would rather buy from my local Mom&Pop pet store. view more

Be sure to sign up for the PETCO PALS ca...

If you purchase your dry cat or dog food from here on a consistent basis, make sure you're signed up for the PETCO PALS card! If you purchase 10 bags (same brand, same size) within one calendar year (12 months), then they'll mail you a free coupon for your 11th bag! :) The coupon is good for one year. This is invaluable for those of us who have multiple pets in our household (I have 3 cats). view more

  Petco - 200 Pound Discount

200 Pound Discount

DId you know that Petco offers a 10% discount if you buy over 200 pounds of dog food at once? This discount is in addition to their buy 10 bags, get one free promotion and quarterly rewards. You must be a petco pals member. I have eight mutts; so, I buy food several times a year and save a significant amount of money. Note that many cashiers have no idea what I am talking about when I mention this discount. Ask to speak to a manager or tell the cashier to hit the discount key. The 200 Pound Discount will be one of the options. Please consider rescuing a pet! view more

I like the store but it's not perfect

Like I said I like it here overall. It is not my favorite store...I'm not sure any qualify as that yet. I like how they host rescue organizations and adoption days. I like that they have their own name brand on some items but their name brand isn't great on a few things I tried. Their dog ear wash is very thick and gets in my dog's hair and stays there unless I wash him. Their food is no cheaper than my local pet store so I don't buy it there any more. Yet the selection is good and the prices are posted clearly. view more

  Petco - Grooming Salon

Grooming Salon

Took my 5 month old shi tzu to Petco for his first grooming in Boise (Milwaukee St) a month ago, his cut was good but took four hours, and the lady refused to cut the hair on top of his head (almost 5 inches long!). We took him back just recently for another cut, and this time it turned out great! They did exactly as I asked. He was very well behaved for the girl who cut him, and he was only away from us for one hour. He gets compliments all the time! Their prices are much cheaper than alot of grooming salons. I will be returning as long as they keep their great employees! view more

I also got good information on the care of my box turtle so the staff is good in my book. view more

  Petco - Only Specialty Pet Store in My Area, but SO Expensive

Only Specialty Pet Store in My Area, but...

Petco has a great variety of items; the best around. The only problem is that they are SO expensive for the everyday items that you can get anywhere, so it's not a one-stop shop. The things I need that I can't get elsewhere, such as Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Gourmet Rodent brands are ok, but then I need to make a separate trip to the grocery store for Fancy Feast and Kitty Litter! The lines at my local Petco are always long; they only ever have one register open. Although I like the bring-your-pet atmosphere, people will come in and not clean up after their dogs, and the staff is slow to clean up. This is just a review of the store. Petco Grooming would get 5 stars. Those groomers are great, even with my "problem" female cat. They calm her down right away and always make a liar out of me when I warn them that her weapons are at the ready! Love Petco Grooming. view more
