Live around the corner from this Petco. Lucky for me. Everyone is always helpful, friendly. Francis especially, always seems to take time to help no matter what he is doing. He always has a smile on his face. Great petco. My favorite. read more

Both my Dogs were seen on 9/26/2026 at the fair oaks vetco clinic. Our first appointment was scheduled for 3:55 and our second appointment was scheduled for 4:05, my first appointment didn't get seen until 4:30, the 4:05 appointment we had, got seen before my 3:55 appointment. Upon getting to the table where the vaccinations were getting done, the DR. Was not very friendly, very short, came across as very rude. When I said thank you at the end of the visit she said nothing back with just a blank rude stare on her face. Dr.Kathryn Cehrs was her name. The person in line before me had the same experience. I have never had this bad of a time at Vetco Clinics until now. Don't think I will ever use vetco again, even if I have to pay more at a vet that will have proper customer service skills. read more

I really appreciate the deal you honor. That alone will keep me as buyer. After purchasing so many bags of cat or dog food with them they give you a free bag. For anyone out there that needs pet food you know how costly this is. Getting a free large bag or up to 60$ is a lot of help. I want to thank you for the young man at the register. He truly represents your company to the highest. He was very familiar with your merchandise and cared very much for my pet and myself. He was very friendly with excellent customer service. Thank you Petco Sheri read more

Kevin is the man!! We went in to get my son his first pet, a Crested Gecko! Kevin went over and above with his knowledge of this species. He was patient and handled all of our questions with grace and expertise. He made sure we had everything we needed for setting "pistachio" up in her new enclosure. He was kind, and made our whole experience 12/10. Go see Kevin for all things reptile! read more

Purchased a vaccinations plan for my dos, and wasnt able to return for a year. They did not honor the plan and tried to sell me a new one. Nowhere on the receipt or documents state a limit of time. Furious. Customer service was horrible... Taking it to next level now. read more

Toke my dog here for grooming a few months ago, Was able to get my dog in for a bath but she ended up getting an ear infection from them spraying in her ears and she terrified to go back to the groomers. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I submitted an online order and then quickly realized I couldn't wait, I would be better off just going to pick up my items for purchase. I called and not wanting to be THAT annoying customer who expected their items pronto, told the employee I can just go to the store and pick out the items. However, he said no worries! And he proceeded to look up my order and said they'd have it ready soon for pick up. What excellent service. His name was Francis. Unfortunately, they were out of the size of cat food I needed, but he helped me find a smaller size. Also, my mother adopted her 2 cats here from Fluff buddies (a cat rescue), so they do great stuff here, trying to rehome cats :-) read more

My dog, Buster, has been getting his nails trimmed here for over a decade. He has had a heart murmur for his whole life, he is 15. Had an appointment for today. The groomer called me yesterday and inquired if he was on medication for his condition. I informed her that he was not. She said it was ok to bring him in for his appointment. Imagine my surprise, when I'm told they now will not trim his nails. What was the point of the phone call? Thank you petco for wasting my time I've always tipped the groomers 100%, now, I will no longer waste my time at this establishment. read more

Came in here with my service dog and the manager was dismissive and uneducated in service dog laws. I told him what the ADA states and he was still not having it/eyeing us the whole time. For reference: All they can legally do is ask if the dog is a service dog and what the service dog does. They only time they can ask you to do something else is if the dog if out of control or a danger. (Which mine was not.) Have never had a problem until today so I'm a bit disappointed. Hopefully they take this time to learn because not every service dog team is going to be comfortable speaking up. :/ read more

Honestly Arielle does a really half a job. If I'm paying almost $100 for a grooming I except it to be amazing. Shouldn't have to even be saying this!!! read more

I just had the BEST shopping experience ever. Karen at Petco was so helpful in getting our new 8 week old kittens off to a happy, healthy and comfortable start. read more

It was my first time going into this Petco. I went in for three items for my dog but I had questions on which products I should get. I was helped by Karen and was very impressed by her knowledge and was able to get what I needed! She is an asset to Petco. read more

The groomers at this Petco really do a great job with our dog. She gets nervous and hates having her paws touched but they are patient and manage to get her nails trimmed and buffed nicely every time!! I feel bad that I don't remember the groomer's name that worked on her last time but I will try and update this post. read more

Store is supposed to close at 9 PM. Came here at 8:50 to buy one item for my dog. Front door was locked lights on inside, but no one wanted to answer the door. Please close when your STATED hours are so that other people don't waste their time running over to your store. read more

My favorite Petco! This location is the largest I've seen. Great selection of items for all animal types. The dog section has a good variety of toys and accessories depending on the holiday. The hamster and small animal section is also much much better than other pet stores I've been to in the area. Lots of toys and accessories to choose from for small animals! The employees here having always been super friendly! They always ask if you need help finding anything and answer any questions I have when looking for something specific. Be sure to check out this Petco. It's always been stocked well and I've been able to find items that were out of stock everywhere else. read more

Always has a great stock of Taste of the Wild for dogs! Friendly knowledgeable staff!

I can't say enough about grooming at this location. As usual I had a very happy experience this morning. Clayton, the manager, and his assistant went above and beyond to help me out. They have cared for three of my Min Pins, and always go the extra measure with my very nervous dog. I understand that they're booked pretty far out but they're definitely worth the wait, and I would highly recommend. They're wonderful representatives for Petco. read more

Great customer service from the employees here. When I ask where something is the employee will walk me over to the location. The last time I asked an employee where something was he was really cute too. I will definitely be coming here whenever I need something for my pets. read more

Went in to buy a fish here today 12/20. We have some tanks from previous fish and went in specifically for a glo fish. I was grabbing my supplies, rocks, food, a little statue and then walked over to ask for assistance getting a fish she gave me hella attitude. After asking a few times for the fish and her consistently denying me I told her that it was okay, I'll just grab a betta. She then proceeded to follow me around the aquatic animal aisle and harassed me about fish. I left with nothing. So disappointed in this location. Really sad for just moving to this area and this is my local store. Safe to say that we will be canceling our loyalty card and taking our business elsewhere read more

I come here for most of my pet needs. Had to switch my dog food (vet recommendation) to non-grain free and talked with Francis and he was super knowledgeable about the pros and cons of each food. Thanks for the help! read more

Large store with many purchase options. Always like to browse at Petco. This store is clean and well organized. I have 2 active cats.

Great place to go!!!! Good bath area. Do it yourself very nice Its perfect!!!!! Happy turkey!!!! read more

Great supportive and friendly people. Typically I'm greeted an ask while shopping if I need help locating anything. I genuinely feel that these people want the best care for animals. Thank you for being consistently awesome. My dog always loves the toys an treats, cat too. Take care. read more

Impressed with how well this location maintains their aquatic section. You can tell the tanks are well maintained. Their live plants that are out on the shelf are of good quality and there is a good selection to choose from. There is a large variety of supplies and food as well. read more

I love because they always have what I'm looking for! They're always well stocked, and have a large variety of items to choose from.

Got my puppy groomed here. The employees are helpful and extremely understanding. This was the first time my puppy was ever getting a haircut, so they were patient with his experience. They let me know that the haircut would last an hour to three hours depending on the puppy and how comfortable he is. I really appreciated that. Store Layout: Overall, the layout is organized, clean, and bright. This is probably one of my favorite Petco's to go since it's so easy to find everything. It's never busy, and I really love their selection here. The aisles are ginormous. There's so much space for you and your puppy to walk around here. I love it! Overall, I would come back here if it were a little closer to my house. I came here to get my puppy groomed because it was an emergency. If I'm ever in this area, I'll be sure to stop by! read more

Had an amazing groomer who left which I cant blame her. After she left had an appointment for middle of December. Petco called and said they had to cancel appointment and pushed grooming to 3rd week of January. Showed up to appointment to be told groomer/manager called in sick. Manager called next day and told us the soonest appointment was end of February. I asked for discount on grooming and was told they cant do it as everyone is in the situation of being short staffed. They are right but most businesses would make it right when screwing over a customer multiple times. Six years. Grooming every two months for two dogs with tip. 2k a year. They dont care. Bye petco read more

The grooming section of this store must have the worst costumer service I've ever experienced. Every time I call to make an appointment, no one answers. I leave a message and no call back. All I need is a nail grinding for my very neurotic dog that won't let me do his nails myself and I can't make an appointment online without a bath included (which I don't need!!) do not recommend read more

Another review for PetCo but this is the one in Fair Oaks. Ladies in the front were very nice and helpful. Store is packed with pet products and everything neatly stacked. The only thing this store doesn't have is fish, birds or rodents, but that's ok because I only buy bunny food. On this visit we bought grass for the rabbits and it was on sale from $10.50 down to $6.99 (great price). Excellent service at this Petco and definitely 5 stars from me. Also took quite a few pics to show their stock. Enjoy! read more

I've come in several times and I'll summarize each trip in the following: First visit-got super worms and all of them were dead in the container, so luckily I looked and had to check through several on the shelf just to find living ones. Second visit-a couple weeks later, same thing: mostly all their super worms were dead. Third visit-should have just given up coming here after the first two times, but on the third visit they were out of super worms, and had one cricket container left. Thought I would change it up and get some fish. After standing in the fish area for a few minutes, an employee came by and helped the people next to us, then for the next 9minutes wouldn't make eye contact or even acknowledge us to where I could ask for help. She just kept talking away to the other person. Finally, after she was done helping the family, she just walked away. When I told the cashier, she didn't even really respond or offer to help. They have cool stuff, but won't help you buy it. read more

My local PetCo has *the best* groomers. (I might be biased, but it's true.) I would not trust my babies to anyone else. Clayton and Guadalupe are marvels, although everyone working there is amazing. My elderly Shepherd would not let *anyone* cut his nails, even the vet. But Clayton spent so much extra time to make him feel comfortable that he became the only one Mikey trusted. I am a foster mom for hospice German Shepherd rescues and the staff here put extra love into every dog I bring to them. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond. Your baby will be pampered here. read more

Customer service here fromm everyone is always great! I did 6 weeks off training here with my malitpoo and Zack was AMAZING! He really knows what he's doing. My puppy learned sit, down, stay, walking on leash, and potty training. When she got old enough he suggested i take her to the groomers there, said to request Stephanie. She was AMAZING as well. It was my pups first time so I was really nervous but she reassured me that everything would be fine and any issues she'd call me. + she really listened to everything I wanted as far as the cut went. Less than an hour and a half later she did a complete makeover on her. She looked and smelt soooo good. & my puppy was so happy. I will definitely continue to do any/all services here. read more

Petco is not the cheapest option in pet supplies. I actually worked for Petco while I was in college (yeah, yeah...we sold pet dinosaurs back then...har har..) , and they trained the CRAP out of us...it seems that some of employees still get it, but some...I don't know if they have any freaking clue what they are doing. Most fall somewhere in the middle, but are willing to ask someone else for you if they don't know the answer. They have started carrying more of the "ultra premium" brands of food than back my day, which is great. The two things I like about this locations are: 1. The dog wash station. For $12 we can take our beast in to wash her in a tub about waist height. The shampoo, brushes, towels, air dryer and cleanup are included. Just make sure to bring your rabies vaccine records with you! 2. The Rawhide Bar. Mix and match a bag of rawhide chews to keep your pup interested! read more

Today I came in looking for suggestions for my senior dog who needs to gain weight but is grain free and picky! Eric (dog trainer) went above and beyond to find several different solutions for me. He made sure I knew that Petco had a return policy in my pup didn't like the new food. He also recommended the new wellness program and how it might benefit my fur baby and my wallet. I appreciate the time and attention in world where customer service has gone downhill. read more

Casandra is the best! She has groomed our Buddha the last few times and we are always impressed. She is very knowledgeable, professional and great at what she does! read more

Visited this local gem to purchase some needed supplies for a new puppy. While filling my cart this lady keeps walking around rudely telling people we need to leave because they're closing soon. I acknowledged her and said I'd be up to check out in a couple minutes. Again, she comes around letting everyone know they need to close and everyone needs to get out. So... I understand you have a set closing time, but if I'm there to buy things in your store, why are you pushing me out? I spent $600 that night only to feel I should have spent it elsewhere. Last time I checked PetCo is a 'for profit' company and also a business based on customer service? That night I didn't see either of those things when trying to spend money there. I get you close at 7pm, so don't let others in, but the people in the store should be able to shop. I work in restaurants, if you show up to eat 20 min before we close, guess what? You get to eat your entire meal, we don't just kick you out as the clock strikes closing time. Just food for thought. Also, petco, please don't send me one of your generic corporate response, you should be embarrassed that every response on here from you is nearly the same word for word. read more

We recently went to Petco, and he wanted to buy a fish. The employee Chris who was "helping us" was being very rude to me and my sisters. Moments later, we were kicked out of the store, because we did not know enough facts about fish to please him. I do not recommend shopping at petco. read more

Unbelievable!!!tried to return something today at Petco.I was told they will no longer take returns. Even if you have a receipt. I probably spend at least $100 a month for dog food. there is a Petsmart and other dog food places within 5 miles of this Petco tell me why I Should come back here. Are they are Afraid that their products are so inferior that they can't take returns anymore?? read more

I like this store. The staff is helpful, and knowledgeable! I met one employee who gave me good recommendations on cat food for my senior cat with a sensitive stomach. As well as treats for the health of her teeth. The person who rung me up at the cashier was very friendly too. My overall experience was good and I'll be back. read more
