This location is a much nicer location when compared to the other Petco location. The store is…read moreclean and organized for easy access. Friendly and good staff and I always find what I am looking for. I enjoy shopping here.

I really tried to give Petco another shot. The last time I came, we had a great experience--kind…read morestaff, no issues. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. From the moment we walked in, the groomer had an aggressive energy that made me hesitant to leave my dog, but I decided to give it a chance. I received a call saying things were going well--until suddenly, he snapped and bit her. While I absolutely don't condone that behavior, I have to be honest: her demeanor felt off from the start. Even when I returned, she had an attitude that felt more like "deal with your dog" than concern. My mini doodle showed no aggression toward her when I picked him up, which makes me feel like he was reacting to how he was being handled. What also confused me was the grooming process. She shaved him down before even washing him, despite saying she would work through the mats first. It's concerning because it feels like the grooming was rushed, and maybe that's when a mistake was made--perhaps he was nicked or mishandled. Instead of acknowledging that, the blame seems to be placed solely on the dog. After reading other reviews, I'm not the only one who feels like some of the groomers here lack the patience and care dogs deserve. Grooming should be done with gentleness, not fear or frustration, and unfortunately, that's not what we experienced today

I had my 3 year old Shitzu Terrier groomed here. I found them using Yelp. I wanted to go with…read moresomeone that was local instead of a Petco or one of these franchised places. My dog is very anxious with strangers and I'm very careful with who I leave her with. I've never had her professionally groomed. I called and made an appointment and they got me in the same day. The owner/manager took her time to meet with my dog and slowly gained her confidence. I left her there for a few hours she received a bathe, haircut, anal glands cleaned, and did her nails. She looked phenomenal! The people there are super helpful. I was surprised that the store was as big as it was. It doesn't look like it from the front but it actually stretches back quite a bit. They answered all my questions about what type of food was good. The owner is a very knowledgeable person she went out of her way and gave us a trial of this all natural food they get without being pushy. Without a doubt I plan on bringing my dogs back here. Surprisely the pricing for their items are very comparable with the big chain pet stores. I really appreciate the people who work there being so attentive and willing to answer any and all questions. My dog is about 25 lbs and with a few extra bones and some baked goodies for them I left paying less than 55 bucks. Super reasonable for everything they did.

Love this place and the way they operate. Just been there 3x…read morebut my Kobe (Schnauzer) always comes out looking great and happy Definitely recommend

The Great: The Norwalk store is super clean. The staff are very accommodating and kind and very…read moreknowledgeable. We worked mostly with Allison. She gave us a ton of information, told us where she would be the next day with phone number of the other store so we could reach out to her with any additional questions. She actually just texted me with pictures of the parents of the goldendoodle we purchased (it's after 7pm). I did call the store one day when Allison was out and Pete answered the phone, he wanted to know how the dog was doing, said he has been with the store for decades and if we need anything to just call him. GREAT STAFF. We were talking to some breeders directly and the communication was horrible. Gary has some great employees. Even the woman who bathed and did our dog's claws after purchase clearly LOVED dogs. Very positive store experience. The Neutral: My dog, as others have mentioned was timid and easily startled when first home, but I think that's normal. He's only 10 weeks old, arrived from Missouri only a week before. That's a lot of changes for a little guy. So we have been making sure to keep the house a little quieter and trying to not make noise when he is eating. Basically like the instructions from Gary (Owner) say, no playing or excitement for 3 days. It's day 3 now and the dog (Reilly) is really much more active, running around the house, eating better, and seems to be adapting well to us and the house. The unexpected: Day 3, the little guy seems to have developed a cough. Could be from the stress of the move, he didn't seem to have this when we brought him home. I spoke to Allison about this and was told we would be reimbursed if we were unable to get back up to CT to see their Vet. (We are an hour away). Update: He seems a little better today, he has his check-in/check-up anyway so we just moved up the date at the vet to make sure he's on the right track. I am sure he will be fine. The less positive: When we originally called on the phone, we were told one general price from the Owner for the dogs were were interested in. At checkout the dog price increased more than 50%. We were able to negotiate, but we felt it could have been handled better. The only reason we feel we didn't overpay is because the service and aftercare have been wonderful. And when you get a 10-11 week old baby, believe me you will have questions. This is my third dog, but I quickly realized pups this young are infants, more vulnerable, do more dumb things, eating well and not getting sick is really important.

It's now been more than a year and a half. We love our little puppy daughter Olivia that we got…read morefrom CT breeders. We couldn't be more happy with our purchase if you're looking for a great place to get a puppy of your dreams and don't mind spending the money this is a place for you.
