I always love going to Petco. It's even more fun now that I have a dog to bring with me (and not just sent as a servant by my cat). This Petco always has the leading brands of food and treats for your dog, cat, bird, fish, reptile, rodent as well as a great selection of toys, accessories, and pet necessities. I have never not been able to find what I need at Petco. This specific store offers grooming services as well as puppy playdates and puppy training classes. I love that their New Pet discount book is free, as other stores charge almost $20 for their "savings". The book definitely saved me several hundred dollars in food, treats, crates, leashes and puppy clean-up supplies. I have been doing puppy playtime with Christine and Erick, as well as puppy classes with Erick. I don't think you'll find better trainers in Bangor. They provide great supervision, are a wealth of knowledge and make the learning experience fun. In class, Erick has been fantastic. He's easy to communicate with, flexible with rescheduling needs and will probably love your dog more than you do. His training ability and eagerness to always stay ahead of the game when it comes to dog training only amplifies your experience. My pup leaves mentally exhausted with a solid grasp on the new material we're covering. Training the rest of the week is a breeze because of Erick's commitment to teaching you how to train your dog properly. Classes will run you about $80-90 for 6-7 one hour lessons. You'll save money if you buy a package, which I HIGHLY recommend (especially if you're thinking of advance training your dog for therapy or service). The staff here goes above and beyond to make your shopping experience easy and fun. From demonstrations, photos with Santa and free food samples, there is always great activity going on at the store. They also have a wide selection of fish, reptiles and birds for sale as well as some smaller furry creatures and cats. I highly recommend the PALS reward card, which gives you $5 off every $100 you spend, as well as other discounts throughout the store. Just wish the prices weren't so high to begin with! read more

Petco - Love training with Erick! - Pet Stores Near Me - Bangor, Maine

Disorganized, poorly managed, messy store. Their services feature retired veterinarians who put shots in dogs and offer all sorts of outdated advice and a support team who barely can manage what they do. The grooming is equally challenging and you better have all your records and say nothing other than "my dog is fine" or they'll refuse service. And yes, they have refused me service after I drive an hour to get there. Everything this place offers you can get elsewhere better, including your local veterinarian and ordering online from Chewy. Avoid. read more

We have shopped for our dogs and cats at Petco for a long time, but we had an absolute nightmare with the groomers there. We scheduled an early morning appointment for 1 of our dogs, and were assured that our dog would have his haircut and they'd let us know when he was finished. We stayed out in the area, to pick him up when he was finished, but we never got a call. We went into the store to see what was going on, and found out that they had "overbooked" grooming appointments, and had never even started his haircut. They put him into a kennel while he was there, and they never apologized for what happened. We were extremely angry, and when we spoke to the manager, she didn't seem to care at all. We will never take our animals to get their grooming there, and have stopped shopping there as well. read more

Do not buy animals from Petco. I adopted a baby guinea pig who started showing signs of a URI after bringing her home. I rushed her to an e-vet and hour and a half away that treats exotics. She got X-rays and they diagnosed her with pneumonia. She was given oral antibiotics and critical care mix in the case she were to stop eating. They held out hope for her but told me the prognosis for small animals with pneumonia is not usually good. I kept her separate from her sisters worried she may spread this to them as well. My new baby worsened, she was too small to fight her illness, she stopped eating and drinking. I was having to syringe her water and critical care mix, her breathing got worse and she was now open mouth breathing. I rushed her to another emergency vet this one was two and a half hour away as the previous e-vet did not have anyone that could treat exotics that night. They immediately put her in an oxygen tank and said she was in critical condition. They told me she was dying and my poor girl was gasping for air. I lost her that night. I know things do happen and I didn't blame Petco... at first. Then an employee of Bangor Petco informed me that they are having a lot of issues with their guinea pigs. That they are all coming in sick or dead on arrival. I was told how one customer brought home four guinea pigs recently and all of them died. Now I'm angry. If they know there is an issue going on with wherever they are getting a bunch of sick and deceased animals they should NOT be selling them to customers and should be halting any restock of their guinea pigs until they figure out what is going on. read more

Petco - Pet Stores Near Me - Bangor, Maine

Great service, friendly staff, reasonable grooming prices and our dog loved the groomer!

when I first walked in Erin gave me a hard time because although I had my pets rabies tag, I did not have the EXACT date of vaccination so she was not going to groom my dog. I had just been there the week prior for shots. I guess she felt the need to take it out on the dog because her boss told her that it was ok to groom him because she sheared my doodle to an eighth of an inch! charged almost double what I was paying. I am done. I will not submit my pets to someone like this again. I think Petco needs to screen their employees better. read more

Great people work at Petco. From Florida to Bangor, Maine. Kind professional groomers.

I was incredibly rudely treated and cursed at by a male associate when having difficulty finding the rabies certificate for my grooming appointment. No one else was in the store and now I understand why. I will NEVER go back for any reason. read more

I like Petco allot. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I just wish that there prices were better.

I was not very happy I was late getting there and it was out of my control I asked if she could trim around his behind when I picked him up he didn't even look like he was groomed other then his nails were clipped I of paid 80 dollars and it didn't even look like he got groomed read more

The groomers are very professional and experienced. I have a deaf dog and they are great with her!

I took my two dogs in. Lacy and Goldie. Thier mother and daughter. They had them for about 3&1/2 hours. They did a great job. They smelled and looked wonderful. Lacy is llight brown with dark brown highlites on her face. She is a shi-tzu. And Goldie is black with brown highlites. She is shi-tzu/Schnauser mix. Thank you for a job well done. Yours truly.

I recently moved up here from MA (where petco is notoriously better than petsmart), and unfortunately not all of my fishy friends survived the transition. I went into petco for a few supplies and a new pleco, and was shocked by the amount of dead fish in their tanks. I can understand 1 or 2 but almost every freshwater tank had dead fish in it! I finally found a tank with pleco in it (with only 1 dead fish) but all of the fish in it looked as though they were developing fin rot. The young woman working in the department seemed very knowledgeable when helping another customer, but had little to say when I expressed my concerns about the tanks. Also, on our way out, a parakeet had its leg caught in the cage and was struggling to stay upright. The man I notified stated that in the mornings the birds rush towards the door... I went in at 6pm. I'm really hoping the poor thing wasn't struggling all day Went to petsmart down the street and the fish tanks were clean and the animals appeared in much better health. read more

Our dog received a long-overdue grooming recently, and it was a great experience all around. So glad we went to Petco and had Abby's help with our golden retriever. read more

Ran in to some issues with having my dog groomed, they asked me to come back the following Monday to try again. I had to leave work early to make the appt. I got there on time waited 10 min before anyone helped me as there was only one groomer as the others were out for training. Once she realized who I was she told me they had not put the rescheduled appt into the comp and had booked another dog. This was just the finishing touches to my dissatisfaction with this Petco. I have had issues prior to this with pallets being stacked in aisles blocking the merchandise I needed as well as being unsafe. Lack of workers able to assist customers, etc. I will be doing my shopping online, or at one of the several "local" pet stores. read more

Awesome selection. Friendly staff. Affordable grooming. Excellent dog training -- seriously the best in Bangor. Thank you, Erick, for transforming our rambunctious pup into a canine on the path to becoming a therapy dog! We will sometimes go just to hang out, because it's such a welcoming environment for pets to get socialized. There's a reason we spend what seems like half my paycheck here. Haha. read more

Petco has high prices on pretty much everything (Target has most of the stuff you would need for much cheaper), but they are good when you want the biggest cat litter house in the world. read more

Went to Petco and bought an air pump for a fish tank, when I got home I found a used air pump in the box not even the same brand. Called the store and they said I had to return it to the store to get another one, I live 3 hours away. They could not do anything. For a $21.99 product I feel they could of sent me the one I was supposed to have. Very disappointed. read more

If I could give this place a negative star, I would. This place smells so bad. I went in and there was feces all through the ferret cage, when walking by. It wasn't a coincidence that every ferret had just pooped. It looked like it was days worth. Their shavings were soaked in urine. I was only there to get mealworms for my daughter's chameleon, so I walked by, disgusted, but on a mission. Opened up the few containers they had, to see if most were alive. All of the containers contained dead mealworms and a bunch of black bugs and beetles, which shouldn't be in there. No associate was around to assist. With the nasty smell, feces and bugs, I decided that I would never go there again. I went to Pet Smart. Best decision. It smells clean, the associates actually great you, smile and are genuinely happier than all of my previous experiences, with shopping at Petco. They should not even be allowed to have animals there, if they can't take care of them or clean. read more

Petco sucks. They dropped our little Yorkie puppie Meka off the table. She was never the same when we got her out of that store. Ended up having a spinal issue due to the drop. Had to put her down at the vets request. They acted like they could care less. F--- Petco. read more
