There are 2 bathrooms, both labeled all gender, not a single one labeled "Staff only". I'm 9 mos pregnant and practically BEGGED to use the EMPTY bathroom bcuz the customer in the other one had been there for 15 mins already. They kept refusing saying it was for "staff only". Needless to say I didn't make it to the restroom. They have zero compassion for their customers. I canceled my membership and will NEVER shop with this company again!!! read more

This Petco grooming is the most unprofessional and lazy I ever had to deal with They absolutely never ever finish the job on the dog, where you are paying for They cancel your appointment to go home early and makes the most ridiculous excuses There is NOT one time there I have took my dogs there and didn't have to make a complaint about it Because I didn't get the service I was paying for It's either that Or just cancel your appointment And you would think the manager at least could do their job and and not let things like this happens again But to be honest the manager is the problem She's being paid to do her job and she just can't I'm not one of those people who's having a bad day and woke up on the wrong foot and is mad with the world and is leaving a bad review out of anger I have been dealing with this for a yeah now and I'm done This place it's really a joke I USE Their VETS, I pay FOR THEIR PETS INSURANCE I BUY ALL MY DOGS BEDS, FOOD AT PETCO, TOYS, TREATS YOU NAME IT, BUT UNLESS THEIR PUT PEOPLE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE AND CARE ABOUT THEIR PAYING COSTUMERS, ILL BE DONE WITH PETCO, BECAUSE I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND I LIKE TO GIVE MY DOGS THE BEST OF EVERYTHING I HOPE SOMEONE AT PETCO CORPORATION SEE THIS AND DECIDE TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR THEIR PAYING COSTUMERS. read more

In an old shopping center but the fimilar sign will bring you in. It's a little warm down looking on the outside and dated inside. The products are the same and large variety. I always enjoy browsing the isles for new products for my pet. read more

I was wondering why the reviews were so low. I've been coming here for years. Over the years it has always been good. We have not tired the groomers. We browse the cats and the fish and live animals. We have always been happy with our selection. The hamster we got for Christmas is still alive and healthy. We just purchased some fish. I feel like fish are tricky. But they are still alive. As we walked around we saw one person at the register and two other people cleaning the mouse and other critters containers. They were busy but they were still friendly. I waited by the fish for help. I didn't get any so I went and asked. They came over to me very quickly. it was a pleasant interaction. We can't help when some people aren't aware of their surroundings but a guy was holding up the line. The cashier answered his questions and was very nice. This guy was apologetic but three people behind you and your complaining about cat food points And buying one thing. I was there for most of the conversation. She answered all his questions and had a lot of patience. But she could've called another person to answer any other unanswered questions. And then move along with the other customers. But another work came up to help. read more

I want to give a shoutout to Marcus. He is incredibly knowledgeable about fish and was more than willing to help us out. Thank you again.

We've been going here fir over 19 years to get our dogs nails trimmed. All of a sudden today they say they can't trim his nails because he's on apoquel. It has never been an issue until today. Spoke eith a manager, and she had the attitude of oh well. read more

I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and service of the citrus Heights Petco staff and groomers! They have always been friendly, accommodating and professional. Despite being what seems to be shortstaffed, they truly care about animals and the work that they do. I hate to compare, but I used to go to the antelope location and there was so much drama from the groomers there. I'm so thankful that I will not be going back there with my baby. 100% upgrade from the antelope location!!! read more

grooming center needs help. waited for 10 minutes for them to say they didn't have time to take a XS small dog for a standard bath at Noon. prior to attending to us, she informed the nice lady in front of us that she was running behind on her dog, so she has to take her wet. #struggle read more

I just had the worst experience of my life customer service wise and shockingly at a PETCO! My partner and I shop once a week at Petco and the Greenback location was our go to for as long as we've had our 4 cats but now will NEVER come back considering the horrible experience we had with Sasha this evening. Like I said previously we have 4 cats and shop weekly so it's no small trip; Sasha proceeded to make unnecessary and disrespectful comments about how many items we had and how we were overwhelming her. Her words exactly were "WOW, that's a lot" She proceeded to then scan TWO items and looks at me and goes "can you be a shelf for me" implying that I'm gonna hold the items for her...So you want me to do your job for you? I literally had to ask her to physically put it in the bag!! She could obviously tell that we were not happy so she says "what, not funny?" and continues to make nasty remarks to the point my partner walks out almost says to me we should just leave and go shop at another Petco but she decided to wait in the car while I sat with Sasha and paid. Sasha watches my partner walk away and says to me "oh no she couldn't wait?" and continues to be disrespectful to me when I'm expressing my displeasure with her customer service. What really made this experience the worst for us was Sasha was scanning the cans not watching the screen and doesn't realize all of the cans hadn't been scanned, turns to me asking me what the last thing scanned was and how she's gonna take so much longer now which I thought was highly inappropriate and unwarranted. Something seriously needs to be done about this. read more

Everything went smoothly. Staff was very helpful and friendly and even carried my 30 pound bag out to the car. Terrific service.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I have been coming here forever to buy my dogs food. But today did it for me. My husband was going to buy a Chameleon; he has had many types of animals and cares for them all very well. However, today the Associate Krystal took it upon herself to 1. Bud in a conversation & add her input that I was having in Spanish with my husband about the Chameleon 2. Say she didn't reccommend it as a "starter pet" ( no one said anything about a starter per) it wasn't going to be my pet nor my daughters it was literally going to be my husbands hence him buying it either way that's none of her bussiness. 3. Then lastly as he puts the only available cage they had for it in the cart and tells her he is going to buy it she abruptly says NO!! I do not feel comfortable selling it to you (EXCUSE ME?! Now you make judgment calls?! ) Not only was that disrespectful to the man willing to purchase it, it was highly unprofessional saying it right in front of a 7 yr old. Then funny no explaination & she disappears to the back of the store.... WOW WOW WOW PETCO you went real downhill with this one. I think your associate needs a refresher on customer service & how to treat people because this evening was a FAIL ... read more

I have been nothing but disappointed with my recent experience of receiving (or lack thereof) dog training services. We were initially receiving dog training services at the Antelope location and had completed 2 weeks of the 6 week course. Upon arriving for our Saturday morning classes, we walked in to find that the training services at the Antelope location had been terminated. There was no communication to us regarding this change. So, we were told that they would then be transferring our training classes to the Citrus Heights location. About one hour later, I received a call from the Citrus Heights location. After letting them know my availability, the dog trainer, Desiree, stated that there are no classes that she can put me in for Saturdays or Sundays. She said that the best she could offer would be to schedule a time and start a new class. However, if another dog parent does not sign up for the same class, then the class would be cancelled - thus postponing another week of lessons. When speaking with Krystal, the store manager, she stated that if a training class is scheduled and another dog does not sign up, then the patron who has already been scheduled will need to be cancelled as a "private" class cannot be done because it "costs a lot more." So, if I had already cleared my schedule and made an appointment for a training session, it can still be cancelled at any time as they are not willing to accommodate the customer. In addition to the inconvenience, this is a disservice to our puppy. This class is meant to be a buildable class -building knowledge on a weekly basis based off of the training completed the previous week. If consecutive weeks are lost, this contributes to learning loss for the puppy. This customer service and lack of continuity of care is appalling as the customer is being cast aside as the staff are not willing to respect the confirmed schedule . Lastly, Krystal told me that I should be taking my business elsewhere. Well, I can assure you that is my plan and I will discourage any of my friends and family from patronizing this company if this is how they treat their customers. read more

This place dose not take car of their reptiles, the iguana I seen looked extremely sick from the last time I saw him( which was a couple weeks ago) he has a black head and is obviously not getting the right light, there was another take with two chameleons one was dead and it looked like it had been sitting there for awhile, due to the cricket that had began to eat it I'll be sending these photos to corporate. This is unacceptable and I will no longer be purchasing products here. You really need to hire someone who cares about your animals more. read more

They are the best! I always order my cat litter for delivery because the pails are so heavy. I always get them during the time That was designated and most times earlier. I love getting the text updates. I know when the driver is approaching and I can open my garage and they just drop it off in there. They are always so nice. I just love the delivery service! They are also very nice when I go into the store!! read more

I'm writing this review for the Grooming services. After seeing these other reviews I was scared to take my 1 year old golden retriever there for services, but she really needed a bath and nail trim. Our groomer's name was Rose and she did an amazing job. She was very loving, thorough, and gentle with my dog. If you're going to get your dog groomed here, ask for Rose! read more

Took my dog for grooming there. They make me pay before seeing my pet. They were saying how much they worked on my dog, making it sound like they did a fabulous job to lure for generous tip. When I saw my dog, it was a terrible job they did, not what I asked them to do. I asked them to not shave my dog hair short, and of course, they did. The shaves are uneven, and in some area, I can see my dog's skin. Not only that, the groomer shaved the front legs so deep that my dog was very uncomfortable and started to bit his front legs and bled. I have never seen my dog so uncomfortable to a point that he bit himself. My dog usually goes to the Petco at Arden. Due to the holiday, this place was the only Petco nearby available for grooming. There is a reason why they have openings when the other store is always booked. Pet owners, think carefully before taking your beloved pet to this store for service. read more

Adsoulte worst grooming place simple scheduling are getting messed up.One of the groomer have a mono traction face l who doesn't even smile and leniency at all she isn't even apologetic.Its like that it or leave it.It is the short hair, blonde, skinny lady in the grooming.I DON'T ANSLD WILL BEVER RECOMMEND.THIS DOESNT EVEN DESERVE A STAR read more

This is a super sick gecko, it's insane that they even have this baby on the floor. It should be in quarantine being treated before being sold. This is so sad. Also, some uneducated customer is going to buy this guy and be upset when it dies. read more

The absolute worst experience I've ever had in a Petco. Went to adopt a cat with my fiance and met the two rudest, unprofessional older ladies I've ever had the displeasure of speaking with. We met a cat we liked and wanted to take home only to essentially be told no for the most unhinged and random reasons. They're doing the cats a disservice by stopping them from going to good homes. Do NOT come here for cat adoptions. Go to front street animal shelter. read more

I definitely want to recommend Macey for your dog grooming needs. I took my baby to her yesterday morning and she was very warm and bubbly and I felt good about dropping Sister off with her. Macey texted me about an hour later that Sister was done and when I picked her up Sister looked so cute and smelled so good. I will definitely make all her appointments with Macey from here on out! read more

Great friendly staff! I am able to order special vet recommendation food for my cat online as there is no vet on staff!

We took our Pomeranian puppy to be groomed here. It was his first grooming. He looked great. It did appear that his poor testicles were razor burned. But otherwise it was a good experience. We then scheduled his 2nd grooming. It was canceled by them and rescheduled quite a way out. He was in a big need to be groomed!! The day of his appointment we were called by them to cancel once again and to reschedule!!!!! 2 hours prior to our appointment. Really??? I understand things happen. But doggone it!! We cannot trust them to keep appointments. read more

Would give zero stars if was an option. Went to Petco on Greenback 3/1/2023 to return two items with my receipt. They have a 30 day return policy. I made my purchase on 1/29/2023 so 3/01/2023 was one day over. The cashier said oh you're a day over the 30 days I an unable to return. I explained I had been sick and this was my 1st day out in two weeks. He said he couldn't return. I said I will take store credit and was told sorry. I told him he needed to call the manager. The person in charge said same thing. I called customer service gave all my information and was told I would receive a call from the district manager in 24-48 hours.. Well today is 3/12/2023 still no call. Worst Customer service ever which I'm telling all my pet owner friends and family about my experience. read more

I just moved to cirtus heights. I came in about 6:20 the other night. They had their doors locked, although they close at 7. I was quickly informed as I saw a few customers leaving that the store was over crowded and there was just two employees there at the time. Understandable, as I'm in retail and understand how hectic, and even dangerous, that can be. Once I came in, the manager, Denise, helped me get all the right things to build my aquarium. She was very helpful in meeting all my needs. I checked out with Sarah (great name), and she was very polite and friendly! She even set me up with the pals rewards which helped me save a few bucks. I came back today for dog food. Once again, a very pleasant experience! read more

Please do not use Jennifer as your groomer. She has awful customer service and doesn't listen to how you want your dog groomed. I had 2 pictures of other dogs done by other groomers at this store and they were perfect, I told her don't shave my dogs face or head and it is shaved and his beard is not even trimmed!! Poor guy looks terrible!! I will NOT BE coming back here ever!!! read more

The place was very clean and the staff were very helpful. I really love the large bathing tubs. Our dog Sophie really loves to take a bath and these large tubs, good soap and the spray nozzle make things so much simpler to get the job done. They even have an industrial blow drier...really it's a shop vac using the exhaust end. What a great idea! Highly recommend checking them out for your furry family's bathing needs. read more

I wouldn't give any stars if possible they stated my dog tried bitting one of the groomers but he's been to several other groomers and haven't had this problem before. Please don't waste your time coming here with the groomer Rita go to petsmart. read more

Honestly my visits to the store over the past year have been pleasant. Usually they price match anything from their online site which is awesome because you get a lot of discounts. But I've recently encountered this individual name Brandon that works at the front counter as a cashier probably the rudest person I have ever had the opportunity of meeting. this guy told me he would give me a hand as soon as his line went down I sat there for a good 1012 minutes looking at him as he picked his nose and totally forgot I existed. It took a lot for me not to throw the collar through his face. But because of this individual I will now take my business to Petsmart I will actually be returning the caller that I purchased today. read more

Jordyn is amazing! Our pooch, Cami, adores her. She is gentle with our not-so-gentle giant and Cami loves Jordyn possibly more than me or her dad. So sad to see her go from training but can't wait for our first groom with her! The only way we can get her in the car is by asking is she wants to go see Jordyn! As for product, they are knowledgable and make great recommendations based on our dog's picky pallet and her weirdness. They are usually well-stocked and Cami loves how she is greeted and welcomed every time we walks through the doors! read more

Just walked out of this store after the worse customer service experience I've ever had here. Guy named Brandon didn't greet ANYONE walking in nor when we were in line. He huffed and puffed and basically threw my receipt at me as if it was my fault he was at work. He kept checking his phone and when I asked for crickets he shoved the wrong size at me!! It was super awkward. Such a terrible employee & experience. read more

Great store, great selection, though it would be nice if they carried rats. We got a couple of American guinea pigs on Jan. 5th, and while they're way overpriced and timid, they're adorable and I love hearing the various sounds they make. We've also gotten bettas from them​. Unfortunately, the crown tail​ betta we got died soon after getting​ him, but our beautiful​, vivid steel blue butterfly betta has been doing wonderfully in the 5 or so months we've had him. read more

STAY AWAY! I went to this store starting 2 years ago approximately every week to 2 weeks and spend roughly $150 every single time I come in the store, in addition to that, I signed up for and paid for a six week training course for my dog, went through the whole thing, got a certificate etc.. signed up for the next class and paid for my full 6 week course, when I showed up for the course, there were many more dogs than there were at the first puppy class so my dog was acting timid, I discussed it with the trainer,( before even setting foot in the training room) and we decided it would be a bit much for my dog, she was starting the class and since I am in the store weekly she said she would get back to me. fast forward a year of me coming in asking about my refund and I am finally told "Oh, we don't do refunds" Had to argue over that and finally the trainer and what I assume is the manager decided I could have 1/2 my money back, even though I took not one class and through no fault of my own. I decided to let that go and accepted just 1/2. today I tried to return an XL Harness that I had bought for my dog in April, never used because it was too large, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and they had his size in this time so I bought it, asked the young lady if I could return the too large one that I forgot to bring with me, she said "sure, as long as you have the receipt" so I went ahead and bought the same harness but in a smaller size and thought with my receipt I could bring it back like the girl said, I go in today with unused harness and receipt in hand and the new harness I also bought from them (same exact one only smaller) on my dog and they refused and said it was too long since April, I was there buying my usual $150 worth of stuff and just left it and took my business elsewhere (I know, a Karen thing to do but enough is enough) Great business model Petco. And I would like to apologize to the poor young women I was rude to when it certainly is not their fault! Petco and the manager of this particular store should be ashamed of themselves. read more

I had my three dogs nails cut, and buffed. I can't remember the girl who did my first two dogs. She was wonderful, professional and nice.

Thank you very much girls, job well done. read more
