We loaded our two chocolate labs for a nail trim at this Petco on Winton Road, to take advantage of…read morethe broadly advertised "grooming happy hour." Sadly, we learned that the groomer takes Tuesdays off, so that was a huge disappointment. Today, I called to ensure that a groomer was there. We're in luck, a groomer is there today. However, said groomer started peppering me with questions: What kind of dog do you have? Have you been here before? How much do they weigh? How old are they? On the flier they have at the groomer's desk, there are no caveats or exceptions to the offer for services. In fact, it even states: Cheers to A LA Carte Classica." When I mentioned that our Coco was 11 years old, the groomer said they were kinda busy and didn't really like to take older dogs. What? Or you kidding me? Perhaps Petco Management should counsel the groomer about customer service, or if this indeed the policy about age restrictions, include it on the flier or discontinue weekday walk-in services.

Immediately coming in we were ignored , not greeted & simply asked what we were looking for. No problems there if you want to get straight to the point . Upon seeing the beagles I asked how much they were and she said $800. She then proceeded to ask where I live as in apartment, town home or home and I said the puppy was for my mother ( for her birthday) and she lived in a town home. Let me add my moms house has a big yard in the back , and plenty of great walking trails nearby. She then tells me well no you can't purchase the animal, they are a " barky, loud" breed and can't live next to other people if it's not in a home. I have NEVER in my life heard anyone create a random rule that you can't purchase a breed because it barks ...ALL DOGS BARK , especially puppies like wtf and i mentioned she lives in a town home, as well as her neighbors having a dog. Her attitude wasn't pleasant at all and I feel like she just didn't want to sell us a dog. Even if I lived in a home, next door neighbors can still hear a dog barking wether it's inside or out. She was just quick to dismiss and shut us down. The puppies are overpriced and the customer service is TRASH. I pray they get a new owner some day, I've never liked that lady anyways.

Awesome locally owned fish store!…read more I went to Aquatics and Exotics over the weekend to buy a school of fish for my small aquarium. I was almost overwhelmed by the variety of fish that they have and of course the 17,000 shark tank. Some tanks had a little bit of algae in them but if you've been in the hobby for a bit you know that algae isn't harmful to fish. The water on all the tanks looked clear. The amount of selection at the store is top notch! I picked out a few celestial pearl danios that I searched 5 other stores in the area to find. All my fish seem healthy and are coloring up in my tank now. I definitely appreciated the laid back feel of the store as opposed to the uptight feel of more big box retailers. Aquatics and Exotics will now be my go to store for anything fish related.

Only good things to say about STAF having adopted several cats there over many years. Recent…read moreadoption was a previously adopted cat returned after a rather traumatic home situation. Volunteers (Jean, Amanda, Julie, Amy) were so helpful, supportive, friendly. I can't praise them enough. In just 5 days my "scaredy" cat has left his hiding place, explored the house and is happily settling in. I think this reflects the good care he received at STAF while awaiting a new home.

They do absolutely everything they can to make sure that all of the animals' best interests are considered and taken care of. What I appreciated so much is how much detail I received from them. I knew what each cat was eating, their history, medical information and more. We received a huge goodie bag filled with food for each cat, litter, toys, treats and more. Having this makes the transition from the shelter to home go so much better. We worked with Jean who is amazing! Thank you so much for your concern, the details you provided and your honesty. (You alerted us to a potential minor issue with one of the cats which never happened.) We absolutely love our cats and owe so much to the dedication of the volunteers at STAF who made this happen.

I wish I could give 0 stars. We inquired about an 8 year old male dog, Teddy. They told my husband…read morethat every animal in our home had to be neutered. We currently only have 2 male dogs, one which is not neutered. They basically told us that was not good enough and all of them must be neutered. How does that make any sense? We're trying to give Teddy a good home. Because of this places policies that's not going to happen. We have experience adopting dogs. Earlier this year we adopted a male from our local dog pound that required at $5,000 surgery that we had done for him. I hardly ever leave reviews but this place makes it much more difficult for loving penitential adopters to rescue an animal.

Fraudulent billing practices. Absolutely do not recommend…read more This was one of the most dishonest and upsetting experiences I have ever had with a veterinary clinic. I brought my cat in for surgery and was given an estimate of around $900. Based on that estimate, I signed the paperwork so they could move forward. After the surgery was done, I was suddenly presented with a bill for over $3,000. At no point before the procedure or during the surgery did anyone tell me the cost was going to increase anywhere close to that amount. There was no phone call, no update, and no attempt to get my approval for these additional charges. The only time they communicated clearly was when they wanted payment. When I explained that my budget was $2,000 and that the final bill was far beyond what I had agreed to, instead of trying to work with me or explain things in a professional way, they threatened to call the police. After the fact, they tried to hide behind a tiny line in the paperwork saying the final price could vary depending on the actual procedure. That was never properly explained before surgery, and it certainly does not justify charging more than three times the original estimate without any real communication. This felt incredibly misleading, predatory, and unprofessional. When people bring their pets in for surgery, they are already stressed and vulnerable. A clinic should be transparent about costs, communicate clearly about major changes, and get approval before adding thousands of dollars in charges. If you care about honesty, transparency, and basic respect as a customer, stay away from this place. Absolutely do not recommend.
