Petco is the only pet store I go to when I don't shop on Amazon as the staff at this location are always friendly professional The only draw back in this store is they need more staff , ie: when 10 people are lined up to check out at the checkout line and there's only one cashier, who not only checks them out but it's also handling the mobile orders and the other two or three employees are running around like they're losing their minds maybe the manager should step out and lend a hand or look into hiring more people or even delegate people when they see the line has gotten very large. Fortunately the cashier was very proficient and was able to give me out of there in about 15 minutes as I stood in line waiting for a pickup order. She did have a name tag on facing the wrong direction I probably would have gave her a shout out for working so hard but it was facing her so I couldn't see what her name was and she was way too busy to interrupt and ask. Anyway as long as you're not in a hurry this is a great Petco. read more

PetCo on Gosford is my favorite place to take my dog for training and grooming. They provide services that I can trust and always take care of Goose. My family and I have been taking him to PetCo since he was a puppy and it's helped him get used to grooming instead of being scared of it. We're also thankful for his training classes. His behavior at home is great and he follows commands well. I even taught him how to shake hands/paws with me! The recommendations that his trainer makes for his health and wellbeing (types of food, food bowls, dog park recommendations, etc.) are so helpful too. Today after class, Goose got to take photos with Santa Clause! I look forward to events like these at PetCo. read more

There are really good things about this location. There are really bad things about this location. Here are both: My kid won a goldfish at the fair. We wanted to get a tank so Goldie could be happy and healthy. Goldie got in the new tank and kicked the bucket...(swim bladder disease) now we have a new tank and need a new fish. The store associates were so knowledgeable and helpful!!!! Like they knew everything! We wanted to get some fish and they told us if the tank has not been up and running for like a week or two the fish will die. So we waited. We came back and got some small fresh water fish. They knew which ones would pay nice with the others and everything. It was great. Then..we came back to get even more fish and it took a really long time. Like an hour. The story was really busy and everyone was just grabbing anyone who was waking by and asking them for help. The associates looked stressed as heck but they did their best to help people. The bad part was there is no rhyme or reason to who they help. It's just every customer for themself. So if you walk in and wait to be helped you will wait all day and night and probably never get what you needed. I came 3 more times to get more fish and was walked by, looked at but not acknowledged, passed by but not helped. Each time I tried to be respectful and wait. I even asked the young lady working the register if someone would be able to help me out to which I was informed, they are busy but will get to me soon as they are done. If you come to this location and are getting what you need off a shelf you are in great hands, if it's not packed you will be taken great care of, if your pet is being groomed they will be ready for Westminster. And if you need fish bring a chair, food and drinks because you're in for a wait. Will I go back, probably yes but I just know that if 2 or more people are waiting I need to check my schedule and plan my day accordingly. read more

We live down the street, so Petsco is our go-to place for certain things. My husband has bought crickets here for our bearded dragon in the past, we've bought a hamster and a guinea pig in the past here. We really ever come here only to buy treats for our cats and our dog. My husband is more of a fan of Petsmart, but I refuse to drive there since Petsco is closer. Petsco does seem smaller, and their inventory is a bit less, but i love Petsco! Yesterday, we tried their grooming services for the first time. You can book appointments online for a few services, but I saw for nail trimming that they accept walk-ins. I love the openness of the grooming so that we, pet parents, can see our pets. The staff at the front were very friendly, especially Emily, who eventually was the one to take care of our Bella! Emily was patient and so kind, which is important to me when it comes to Bella since some people can be judgy when it comes to pitbulls. All we needed was proof of rabies vaccination. I sure will be bringing Bella back for a little spa treatment every 4 to 5 weeks! read more

Always good experience, but tonight brought me here to rate. I went in 10mins to closing on a Friday just to quickly grab cat treats. On my way to register, an adorable hamster caught my eye. Employee Gigi happily helped me out with the lil guy and answered all my questions and helped pick out cage, etc. very knowledgeable. She offered a special to me and took the time to set up card. By the time I checked out they were already closed. Still friendly not rushed. Santos was also such a pleasure and helpful. Great team and clean store. A+ read more

Don't get fish there. They will interrogate you for refund when your fish dies... Go Rosedale. They have much better service.

Let's be real. First off, I want to mention how great it is that Petco allows you to bring your pets into their store. When everyone can come in and shop with their pets, it really helps keep the business thriving. Unlike places like Walmart and Target, which don't allow pets inside when you're buying dog or cat food, I prefer to shop at Petco. It's so much nicer to bring my dog along and enjoy our time there while picking up some good food for him. So, I encourage everyone to bring their pets to Petco and support them instead of those other stores! read more

I bought a bearded dragon a few years ago. I've had them before and know how to care for them. She started to act just a bit off after having her for a few weeks, so I brought her in to their vet. They said they would keep me updated on her condition. After a couple days went by with no word, I went in person and asked for an update. I was essentially met with "oh yeah, she died. Sorry about that. We can give you your money back"??? Never got an answer as to what happened to her. But it was my mistake purchasing from there in the first place. They are much too young and too small to be adopted out to ANYONE. read more

Terrible at grooming, your dog will look the same as when they come in. Basically paying $100 for a nail trim and a bath.

I have been going to this branch to get aquarium supplies and fish as well since Santos assisted us at the store. He is very knowledgable and patient in answering my questions since I am new in the fish keeping hobby. I didn't feel rushed and I feel that I have brought products right for my fish and my budget. read more

Staff is the sweetest, unfortunately the pets are not kept in good condition. They are crammed together in tanks and glass cages.

THREE STRIKES, YOU'RE OUT! Well the first time I took my mini schnauzer they did ok. The second time it was ok but it was done quick, which I think about it now is not too good. So the 3rd time I go in start talking to a butcher, oh I mean groomer and you know she sold a good story used a couple of key sounding grooming tech words had me feeling good that my dog was in good hands. So I come in to pick up my mini schnauzer and out comes a chihuahua looking dog WT# happened. I could of sworn that it was said that she would come out with a lil bit of a Schnauzer skirt. Nope butchered to a No.1. I asked to keep the eyelashes if any just trim to even out. See pic. So yeah no more business for Gosford Petco. The workers are overworked and don't have the right equipment. I heard this from the horses mouth. read more

This review is for Yvonne in the grooming department. Usually when we send our dog for grooming, he comes out stinkier and his hair cut is just whatever, but this time, we got Yvonne and he came out smelling so fresh and he looks so cute. His haircut was perfect and he was done in under two hours. His appointment was at 9:30 and they texted me at like noon to pick him up. read more

Called to ask a question about needing a fish... the girl that answered the phone was extremely informative... when I had more questions she placed me on hold and another girl picked up and was able to answer all my questions and was super helpful.... Unfortunately I didn't get either of their names... but they were both very intelligent and friendly... And I was impressed with the phone customer service... For that reason, I went in to buy a fish (Beta)... While I can't say I looked like I needed help nor did I ask... my expectations were a little disappointed as I didn't see any staff on the floor nor was I greeted by anyone... but the gentleman cashier was friendly. read more

Petco - My pretty new Beta - Pet Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I would give zero stars if I could. My sister brought in her cocker spaniel on Saturday to get a trim. The moment she brought her in she was insulted by the way she takes care of her dog. The groomer asked her if she brushed her, he told her that she was neglecting her dog *even though she is the most spoiled dog I have ever met* all because she had 3 nots *she has curly hair!* To add, he told her that she smelled like pee and had to wash her 3 times and the pee smell is still there! She didn't smell like pee and if she did a little it doesn't take 3 washes to get it out. If you all know what cocker spaniels look like you know they have longer fur. Well, this groomer shaved her down completely *even though my sister said a trim* and didn't even trim her properly because her fur is completely uneven. My sister was so shocked and horrified when she came in and got her! Worst groomers ever! Horrible experience and not even just the cut! It was the groomer who insulted her from the beginning. Never taking her back. Everyone take your dogs to a place that has better "professional" groomers! read more

I came in after reading a few of the not so great reviews , so I wasn't expecting much . I was looking for food for my new shelter pup who of course has fancy tastes . I had no idea what to pick and there's so much food here it's easy to feel overwhelmed. I happened to find someone who worked there and asked for advice. Surprisingly she didn't steer me toward the expensive brands, she showed me the Petco brand whole hearted which not only is inexpensive, but has a ton of variety too. To top it off she told me even if my pooch didn't love it as long as there was at least half the bag left we could try something else . I felt really optimistic after that. Thank you Petco for the advice , here's hoping he likes at least one of the things I got . read more

We came in for some supplies. Store seemed well stocked and had lots of sales going on. The had about 4 dogs for adoption. Pit bulls and German Shepard 20$ and they have all shots and have been neutered. Of course my son was begging me for the Sheppard. When we went to get in line only one check stand open and the line was huge. Beverly checked us out and said sorry for the wait, she was very nice. read more

So i have 5 guinea pigs and a bunny and they eat a ton of hay. I ordered online for free same day pick up it was on sale for a great price and my son was just going to run in and grab it. He created his own acct easy put the hay in the cart i paid and it was done...or so i thought We waited and waited for our email that it was ready my son called the store figuring wow it shouldn't take 3 hours for them to get a bag of hay ready right? Well the first person he talked to was rude to him and just had a bad attitude and said they looked and it said it was in stock but they can't find any. Ok ummm the email that finally came said they couldn't locate it but someone from the store was going to call us and find it at a different store or come up with a resolution. No one called. My son called again and got a different person he told them we didn't get the product however the money was still taken out of my account. She told him idk who you talked to but we don't have that here and you won't be charged. No offer to look at the other store just basically your out of luck and the hold on ur bank acct will drop off in 24 hours. Well it's still not back in my acct and we had to go to petsmart to get the hay and pay more money. Just kinda stressful i must say so lesson learned i won't be buying online with free "same day" pick up at petco again Lol... read more

It sudden me to write this yelp, because my dog grew up here in this environment that I thought would be their forever home to their grooming , but the fact that I have brought my dog in all year to nearby locations and other locations and not once was marked down nor is there any tracking information for Any Of My Grooming Appointment is insane . The amount of money I've invested in this store alone on just dog, grooming and supplies. It's crazy. I hate the fact that they're marketing strategy is false advertising and when you call their actual direct line, they say differently than the store does... I will no longer be bringing my dogs into any Petco... i've actually had to move my dog around multiple Petcos for the fact that I feel he was being mistreated, and he was scared to go back, but I still took my chances on bringing him because I met really good groomers that promised me otherwise, but after this interaction on the phone with the representative, I definitely will just go with my gut and stop coming here. read more

I've taken my dog here I'd say 6 times and every time it's awesome. This last time I took her they were going to charge me 98$$ for my dogs haircut which wasn't a problem. Usually they don't text me till it's time for her to get picked up but 15 mins after I get home I receive and text saying that I need to call the store ASAP. I call worried sick with someone on the phone letting me know my dog has a " rash" on her underside and they asked if I've seen it before or noticed her scratching or dragging. Which she DOESNT do. She then proceeded to tell me they can't finish the service and that they won't charge me anything mind you it was going to be 98$$! And now they're suddenly not charging me anything?? Which Seemed a bit suspicious to me. I headed over and a lady explained to me what happened and showed me her underside all while my dog was squirming around in her arms looking for a way to get away. I grabbed her and went into the car and noticed the "rash" looked fresh my poor dog can't even sit down now and im FULLY convinced they shaved her down to hard causing them to cut her. NEVER coming back AGAIN. thanks Itzel. read more

So this review is for the grooming services, I had the pleasure of having Melissa and she took such good care of my dog. She was also very great about making us feel at ease with this being her first visit, as well as answering all my questions. She was the best at making sure she knew what I wanted done with her hair and showed me samples of how short the hair would be. The bows on my Pam were such a cute addition and showed how much care she put into her work read more

This is a review for grooming services and includes particular praise for Roger. We take two dogs here frequently. It's close to our house and they are good about seeing both dogs at the same time. They don't get haircuts but they get everything else done there. The dogs are always a little nervous to go but once they're in the groomers hands they do just fine. We have come to really like Roger as their groomer. Roger is patient, kind to us and the dogs, and is extremely intelligent about animals needs and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. He has pointed out a couple of things to us about the dogs and always provides great recommendations for preventative care and is honest about everything we may ask. The folks at reception area are always so kind and make it easy for us to get reminders for appointments, they don't try to upsale us but they do let us know our options. They are great to remind us about vet records and they are very throughout with communicating. We've never had any issues regarding payments or issues with our dogs. There have been a couple of knit picky things if another groomer misses it but they always take care of it and I can tell they work hard to make our pups comfortable and come home smelling good and fresh. I have no hesitation about bringing my dogs here. I know there are local groomers and people that go to your house, etc but for the price and the consistency we get here it's worth it to us! read more

Never in my life have I experienced such unpleasant and unprofessional service from a place that claims to care for our animals. I brought my cockapoo in for a trim and within minutes they returned her ONLY HALF SHAVEN. They said she "reacted" and they couldn't continue anymore. So a puppy "yap" merits not finishing the job and leaving our pet ONLY HALF SHAVEN? To me seems like either lazy or undertrained workers... read more

Do not do business with this company, at least online. They will use your information as they see fit. I decided I wanted to purchase our dog food elsewhere. I went online and cancelled my reoccurring delivery, deleted my payment information, and requested that the account be permanently closed, which they assured me was done. This morning I received my reoccurring delivery and they charged my card. I went to see if my account was closed and my login still worked. So not only did they not close my account as they said they did, but they retained my payment info and used it. read more

The Petco on Rosedale is a lot closer to us and I like it there. Wanted a bit of a change and so we took our dog here to this Petco for some fun and shopping. I do not like how it is set up as much and the staff is not as helpful/friendly as the other location. My husband told me that the washroom here was filthy and I will spare you the details other than to tell you that it apparently does not look like it has been cleaned in many months. No cats to view at this location. Not many dogs came into the store this evening. :( I love to look at them all in their seasonal Xmas sweaters and jackets! This store does not have a great clearance area and things are pricey here. I usually never want to leave a pet store quickly as I adore all things "animals" but I was not feeling it here. I guess that explains why I had not stepped foot into this location in over 2 years. Spent too much moula here anyways but hey, anything for my pets. My border collie now officially has her first pair of reindeer antlers! (Xmas apparel/toys is 50% off right now) read more

Terrible, Zero stars!!! I dropped my dog off at 12. I have a small dog (30 lbs) they told me he would be ready by 3:30 pm. He wasn't ready at 4:20 pm because the person washing him took a lunch break and washed another dog etc. definitely not going back. Let me repeat that. My dog is small, he was only washed and brushed in more than 4 hours!!! Not going back again. Waste of my time and money. Update. I decided to Call and take my dog to a different petco because of the horrible service at this one. My husband had taken him there for his shots and they seemed good. The manager from other store called and said that the other store have exited my dog from Petco!!!!Wow the audacity of this place. Instead of apologizing and training their employees this is what they do?! I went ahead and Called petco corporate. This is discrimination! Hopefully they're corporate office will train them. read more
