Terrible experience at this Petco. We had just moved to the area and needed to get our golden…read moreretriever groomed. We made an appointment on the same day online, as there was availability, for a wash and trim. When I came in, the tech working with us was approachable. She asked for his record for rabies vaccine. I showed her his vaccine list, which included "rabies vaccine, 1 year" and the date that it was given - clearly not expired. The tech responded "not good enough I need the certificate," in a very rude tone. This was news because I've never had a tech need this information when confirming rabies vaccine in the past since it was Very clearly listed, but okay. I called the vet and got the certificate and showed it to her. The tech was also disgruntled because she thought he was only for a bath and seemed upset upon rechecking his visit was actually for a bath and trim. During this time, the tech decided to inspect my dog and said he had an ear infection. I mentioned that goldens can very often get inflammation in the ear but doesn't mean there is growth of anything. (This has been an ongoing problem with my golden). She needed to get a second opinion from her manager. At this point, I could tell the tech was just fishing for ways to get this appointment cancelled. I stated we were just gonna cancel and leave. She then mentioned that it was best because vet visits can go to 6000$ from an ear infection complication. I wasn't aware that groomer specialists doubled as vets in their spare time. I am a professional in medicine and can say this is just untrue. Kind of my last straw at this point. It was an unfortunate visit as it seems like they just didn't want to work. I don't want her to touch my dog so I will not be visiting this location for grooming services again.

I've been a proud rabbit mama for nearly two decades, and have always bought my hay and litter off…read moreAmazon (please don't judge me; it was a lot easier in 2008 to get "exotic" animal supplies from them). Recently, the Oxbow Western Timothy Hay I've been buying online has been *terrible*; the worst quality I've ever seen. I wonder if it's sitting around for longer than it should be in a hot warehouse or truck? The hay is also frequently unavailable randomly on Amazon; and, Amazon frequently can't ship this hay out for at least seven to ten days for some reason. Unsure why this is happening, but enough is enough. So now I'm Team Animal House (and, again, I'm so sorry it took me so long to make this decision). It seems locally-owned. There's currently three locations: Damariscotta (which has a self-service wash facility), Brunswick, and Westbrook. The Westbrook location is in a strip mall and has loads of parking. The store is pretty clean, and while it's predominantly focused on dogs and cats, there is alllllllllllll the way in the back lefthand corner a section for our rodent and bird friends. And... voila! A wall full of Oxbow Western Timothy Hay (other kinds available as well) in all sizes: 15 ounce, 40 ounce, 90 ounce. It's nice to be able to look at each bag in person to see what the color/consistency/quality of the hay is and doublecheck lot numbers against each other. I bought a 40 ounce and 90 ounce bag just in case one ended up being not good, and the OH SO LOVELY employee cashing me out asked me if I wanted to join their loyalty program which would, for this particular item, get me a complimentary bag of hay after my seventh purchase. Um... what? YES. I didn't see the litter that I use here (Carefresh, all natural) or the hay cubes (Kaytee Timothy Blend), so unfortunately I can't swap all my shopping here. But I would if/when it becomes an option! THANKS for saving the day, Animal House! My extremely picky and always very hungry rabbit appreciates the good and immediate hay!

Anyways, when she finally slid me my bag she noticed she forgot to ring something up. By this time I had been there for at least 7 minutes and running behind to my next destination. I opted not to buy it and hurried out. I do hope they start getting the swing of things soon since I do like the store layout.
