This store has almost everything you could possibly need for your pets (for me-our dog) very clean store! Great location with lots of parking and while customer service has seriously declined these days, there was a very helpful young man on the floor, went out of his way to find an item I was looking for and I totally appreciate that! Highly recommend! read more

The worst customer service I've ever experienced. When I asked for help, the staff seemed annoyed and bothered by the request. Eventually, they said someone would assist me, but after waiting over 7 minutes with no help, I decided to leave. The store itself could also use improvement -- the smell and overall organization inside were unpleasant and gave a poor impression. Staff training and better attention to the customer experience would go a long way in improving the overall atmosphere and service. read more

This rating is for the GROOMING DEPARTMENT. I want to give a shoutout to RACHEL for doing such an amazing job with my dog. She mentioned that my pup was a little anxious when it came to the nail trim/ buffing and took about 5 minutes for her to settle but she kept trying and she eventually settled. I really want to thank her for being so patient and getting it done! Also felt really personal how she carried my dog out of the back and waited for me to pay while holding and petting her instead of having her on the ground. I normally go to the Ventura location because I live 5 minutes from that one but with the recent heat wave and my normal location not having any availability I had to book here. I will definitely be making the 20-25 minute drive to this location going forward. Thanks again Rachel, she even gave my girl a super cute necklace! read more

Petco in Ventura, Ca on Main Street is the best! The groomers are gentle and left my poodle as if he came out of a very expensive saloon. The groomer finished in 2 hours and when I picked him up he was happy and wagging his tail. Highly recommend! read more

The employees here don't know how to help at all. I came up to an employee to see if I could get some help in the litter box isle, the lady answers with attitude saying "I don't know, I mean I would have to see if anyone is available but I don't know if they are". She wasn't doing anything. And made me look stupid for asking a question. I waited for help and no one came so I left. read more

Some white tall guy was just not it was going against what I wanted for my dog saying we couldn't do it ended up taking my dog to Ventura where they did what I asked for with no attitude best place to go is in Ventura. I've only had really good experiences with Sarah & Liz those are my top dog groomers in Oxnard with maltipoos read more

12/4/25 This review is to give the lady Michelle who took my call this morning recognition- Now days customer service isn't really wonderful or knowledgeable... But she really sounded like she truly has a passion to help you find a solution. Michelle was very helpful and knowledgeable on product... I am a retired groomer and she gave me great advice when I was asking about products- I have a dog with sensitive skin and she offered great matches- She gave me alternatives when I told her what was out of my price range. I was impressed that the person out on the sales floor had knowledge of shampoos. When I worked at petco (out of area) the sales floor people would send customers to grooming for shampoo/bathing questions- She was really pleasant to talk with, she listened to my concerns for my dog, she has great customer service skills and I felt she was truly sincere. Thank you Michelle! read more

I went to my local Petco today I was completely ignored as soon as I walked in. I asked a question and the skinny white girl just walked away from me. I then went into the grooming salon, and this big tall man with a beard had the worst attitude and told me to go find someone on the floor and rolled his eyes not to mention the poor animals look like they're being abused and neglected. The bedding is soiled the food bowls are empty. They all look like they're dying not to mention the place smells like piss and there's giant roaches everywhere. I would recommend you not come here. read more

Michelle is the sweetest! She was so kind and helped me find exactly what I was looking for!

Went to my local petco today to purchase some dog food, my daughter pointed out these poor guinea pigs had NO WATER!!! When we went to pay we mentioned it to the cashier Michelle, she said she'd check it out but didn't seem concerned. There was also no one in the store besides her. This place needs to get it together. read more

They have a good variety of small animal supplies but they are overpriced. Petfood express sells the same Oxbow supplements for $9.99. I then checked out the paper litter for rabbits and again way overpriced. Selling half the size of bags at similar price for double the size bags on Chewy. read more

VETCO in Channel Islands is a sham. Purchased a package of vaccinations for my puppy and they refuse to render services and refund me my money. I would not take your pets to them. These people are jokes and not real Vets! read more

They are always friendly and helpful. They have what I'm looking for every time. Good customer service.

Why do all the employees look so miserable? I tried making conversation and complimenting one of the cashiers petco work shirt that had a cockatiel on it and she had the shittiest, rudest mood and practical rolled her eyes at me. Not a hello, not a thank you. She didn't even bag one of my items, left it outside the bag, and I didn't notice until I was already out and gone. Had to make the drive back. I'm sure she knew and didn't say anything, after all she bagged the other items and charged me for all. I've been coming here for years on and off when I need urgent supplies but usually avoid this place due to the lack of service and over priced items. Needless to say this review is long overdue. I worked customer service for 20 years in different industries so I know we all have an off day, but this is consistent and through the years with almost 100% of employees at this location. read more

Please!!!! DO NOT BRING your Dog to the GROOMERS!!!!! I went to pick up my dog from the groomers no one was there I had to find a sales associate in order for them to fetch my dog. I paid and went home. After my dog went to relieve herself her rectum was very bloody. I was very upset and called Petco. I spoke to the Groomer which name starts with a letter "B" they said that they accidentally nicked her and was in a hurry to go to lunch. I told them I was very upset that I wasn't told this happened. Spoke to the manager got my refund and took my dog to the Vet which my dog received three medicines petco paid for the medical bill. Overall if the groomer would have told me in person and apologized and recommended ointment for the nicked this all could have been avoided!!!! Not bringing my dog there any more hopefully groomer receives a disciplinary action for their actions!!!! My dog is traumatized from the experience!!! read more

This is the worst store. I usually go to Petsmart in Ventura on Telephone but since I was going to be near Petco, I called to make sure they had what I needed. So I called and the girl assured me that they had what I asked for. I go in and search for what I needed and they didn't have anything. So I asked someone there who went to the area where I was looking and said we don't have it. This is not the first time I have been disappointed with this store so now I'm done. I will no longer waste my time with this store. I'll just go to Petsmart where I am never disappointed and they always have everything I need. read more

I wish I would have looked at the reviews before taking my dog to Petco to get groomed. Her entire body was already trimmed short to begin with as I usually took care of it at home. I took her in for a bath/cut/nail trim and when I picked her up, she literally looked like NOTHING had been done!!! I had just paid $70 + a $10 tip for the WORST grooming experience EVER. Dropped her off at 8:45 am. Told my husband she'd be ready about noon. We were pleased when they called early and thought "great they got to her quickly so she didn't need to be in a cage too long". Now I know why!! They did ABSOLUTELY BARE MINIMUM. She literally looked the same as when I brought her in! What a complete rip-off! Of course I could have complained but I thought "if this person has such horrible work ethic, I don't trust him with my dog"!! DON'T GO THERE!!! read more

Shopped here a couple times as we were passing through. Store clean and relatively well stock. Rating low based on annoying experience... I went to use the restroom while my wife was picking out food for our cats. The for was locked (with no sign). I assumed it was single occupancy and so stood there waiting to use restroom. Meanwhile a store employee walked past me without acknowledging me, inserted key and proceeded to use restroom. read more

Omg today I called Petco in Port Hueneme to find out why I didn't get my same day delivery order. The girl who answered the phone told me to just call DoorDash. She told me they don't have any information on my order. So I asked her if door dash picked up my order? And she said "maybe". How can a business not have any record whether DoorDash picked up a customers order or not. So instead of answering my question, she proceeds to give me the 800 number so I can just cancel the order. I asked her for her name and she hung up on me. I called back and she changes her voice in the hopes that I wouldn't recognize her. I told her that you hung up on me and she says, "no I didn't, the phone disconnected". I asked her for name again and she told me Kaitlyn, which I'm not if that's true cuz she obviously lied about hanging up on me. I asked for her managers name and she said Michelle. I'm going to contact Michelle to let her know how her staff treats customers. Will see if she cares or not read more

I would rather come to Petco then go to Petsmart Petsmart sucks Petco is always nice and cheap They price match and it is way cleaner Great customer services and always nice They gave me free treats and pet pup loves them will he definitely be making the drive to petco. Rewards are better and I feel like I'm actually getting my money back. read more

HORRIBLE customer service in the grooming department! Cancelled my pets appointment without notifying me. I went in to drop off my dog only to be told the appointment was canceled by them and no call was made to let me know ahead of time. read more

I came in today to bring my kids to buy guinea pigs the animals looked in poor condition they had no hay water dispenser on the floor not able to drink the water. There was only one person on the floor to help customers and serval people waiting to get help. The younger girl was able to answer all my questions and was patient with me super helpful until some red head older lady came up to me super rude and said we were closing even though the website said 9:00 pm. Also, there were no keys to grab the guinea pig which makes no sense because the General Manager was there. This is highly unprofessional any manger should have keys in case of an emergency. This store always looks under staff. I come in often every time I come in seems like it's getting worse. Really upsetting that I came ready adopt a new addition to my family and was ready to buy everything I needed for it. Just to find out I was unable to take the guinea pig. read more

This was a quick trip to Petco looking for a dog harness. The store staff was friendly and efficient. The store was also well stocked with lots of collars and leashes. And, that was just what I was looking for. Loved the store and it was in a great location -- close to where we were staying. read more

My overall experience from Petco Hueneme has changed throughout the years. At one point I enjoyed receiving their services and staff. Unfortunately today, I had a scheduled grooming appointment for my one year old toy poodle. I alerted twice when I was scheduling the appointment and in-person that my pup had a few matted spots. Not extreme at all. Both groomers at the scene told me she was badly matted. I told them she was not matted as how they were describing. I told them I was confused to why they were telling me this because she was not extremely matted. I told them I know the difference when it is extremely matted to when there's a few matted knots. I was very frustrated and told them why don't they alert their customers when they schedule an appointment that they do not accept any dogs with matted fur that includes small matted knots because I wasted my time waiting and to drive to the appointment to get this news. They tell me that I should tell corporate about this (like if they really want to hear a customer's feedback). They try to brush it off by saying it is part of their new protocol and that is why the old groomer team were let go because of one matted dog ruined for everyone else's experience. I was mad that they wasted my time, try to gaslight me that my dog was extremely matted, and were not apologetic. I've mentioned that I've been going to this specific grooming Petco store for the past 8 years for my other dogs for their grooming services before they closed down. When I heard that petco's Hueneme Grooming department service was back open, I was excited to receive their grooming services with them again. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back to Petco Hueneme's grooming place and I warn all dog and cat owners who have fluffy or long haired pets to not come here because they will not accept pets who have a few matted spots Side note: shout out to Alyssa, Petco's Dog Trainer for being always polite and understanding. Helped my dog get training from her read more

It's always something every time I come here. My dog couldn't get trimmed bc no proof of rabies shot. Cool, understandable. Website says groomers close at 6pm. Came at 4:30pm, was told they close at 4pm. Came at 3:15, was told they couldn't do a quick 5 mail trim because they were cleaning and getting ready to leave 45 minutes before they were supposed to close. Definitely not bringing my dog back here. Every time I come here, my time gets wasted. read more

I had never been in this PetCo before, I usually go to another pet store that has more options and is generally overall better. But they don't have once specific treat that my dogs love, that PetCo has. So I sucked it up and went to the closest one to me since the last time I got these treats was from a small store in Santa Barbara. When I walked in, the store was EMPTY. No customers, no employees, no one to greet me when I walked in. I brushed it aside because I wasn't there to chat with anyone. As I was walking around, I noticed 1) the store was filthy 2) there were brown stains on the floor every couple of feet 3) there was random materials for construction in the middle of the store 4) half the store didn't even have lights on 5) the tanks and cages for the animals looked horrendous. I grabbed what I needed and went to check out. It took me a while to find them since they weren't with the other treats from the same brand, but I didn't see any employees to ask for help. When I went to the register, the cashier said two things to me: "Do you have a card with us?" and "$27.98" and didn't seem excited or thrilled to be there at all. I'd rather drive 45 minutes to the small store in Santa Barbara where I know I'll at least get acknowledged and the employees actually don't hate themselves. read more

My golden was a long time customer. Now that he is a senior with arthritis they said he can't stand on the grooming table anymore so they won't groom him. Really I said you can't dry and brush him on the floor. No they said that would be a liability. Don't bring your older dogs to Petco! read more

Horrible grooming experience. Made an appointment for my little Rat terrier OREO. Two months ago I made this appt for 0900. I got confirmation email. I showed up today at 0900 and the girl at desk said my appt was cancelled ?? What?? Said the groomer wasn't in today. It was just her?? I'm like well I took today off from work for this and no one called me to cancel. She said we did call you. Hmmmmm. No you didn't. I said since I do have an appt that I did make 2 MONTHS AGO are you gonna honor it. She's like nope. We have more dogs coming in. I was livid. I will never ever come back to this location again. Oh yes I did speak to a manager and he told me Have A Nice Day. Wow wow wow. Talk about no customer service anymore. read more

Today was the last straw. Every time I go in the store there's something wrong.Its dirty and disorganizedI .I have talked to a manager I leave reviews and nothing ever changes it just gets worse. I am disabled if I have a cart I can move around fine there were no carts I asked if someone could call for a cart they said I'm sorry we can't because if there are any there being used out on the floor. What the heck. Okay so I go out to my car and I get my Walker so I can go over to the fish department and get my fish. The girl waits on somebody who apparently was in front of me although she just appeared. I'm waiting for 15 minutes no one asked me anything if I needed help or whatever.Its this way everytime .I walked over to the line to pay for my fish and there was a long line there was one checker on duty and he was trying to figure out the order he was working with. Finally the girl from The fish department comes and starts to get the line moving. There were two gentlemen off into a side office who never came out. This store needs to be torn down and renewed and have different people managing it it's been this way for a long time it's not getting better it's only getting worse I'm not going there anymore cuz it's not going to improve and that's it. read more

Took my 7 old mini golden doodle. Will never go back to Petco grooming. They called me within an hour to pick up my dog. Yeas he had some matting but they shaved his whole body. They left longer pieces of fur on his belly and only left hair on three paws. They only left hair on his face and head. I couldn't believe the way they left my dog!!! Then they laughed as I walked out! They didn't charge me which I wouldn't have paid ! No I'm sorry . Just a oh your dog had a panic attack and we can't cut his hair. I do not recommend this place at all!!! Waste of time and will take my business elsewhere. read more

Do not bring your dog to get groomed here!! My family's dog has delicate hair that gets tangled. The groomer said it was too damaged and just shaved off her fur!! When we take our dog to PetSmart they would NEVER shave off her fur even if the ends are damaged!! A Pomeranian should NEVER be shaved unless it is absolutely necessary!! Her fur might never grow out to be the same and right now her skin will be sensitive and unprotected from the sun and could lead to a higher risk of skin cancer. Her nails were also supposed to be cut but they didn't do a good job. There was 1 long nail that wasn't even cut! Please be cautious if you bring your dog here since this seems to be an ongoing problem considering I see other reviews here that have had the same problem despite PetCo replying to them. read more

Big selection, well stocked store. Even though they are a large chain store, while I was in there I was asked twice if I needed help. I was just there for dog food, so I didn't have any questions. The store is clean and well lit. Enough staff walking around to assist customers. Huge selection on dog food and just about anything you need for your pet. They also have a groomer on-site. read more

Your normal Petco. Clean, wide isles and well lit. Lots of products and helpful employees. A dog was going through a training class while I was there. Live pets for sale include mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, parakeets, cockatiels, finches, fresh water aquarium fish, reptiles, amphibians and sometimes tarantulas etc. I wish they sold guinea pig food in bags bigger than 8-10lb though. They do for rabbit but not guinea pig. Cages, supplies, food etc. Everything you need, pretty much. read more

I have taken my dog here 2 or 3 times to be groomed. First 2 times they did a good job. This time around they did a good job but she came home with fleas. She's an indoor only dog and gets flea treatments and has never had fleas on her until now. She came home itching but I thought maybe she was just itching from the new shampoo but she kept at it. Finally I was able to see one crawling on her head. We spray our yard and she is never around other dogs. The only dogs she has been around was there at petco. I can't be certain where they came from but all I know is they weren't there before I took her to petco. Sucks that I spent money on a bath for her and now have to give her another bath for fleas. read more

This is the best Petco I've ever been to. I've been a loyal customer at this store for about a year now, and every single one of the staff members I've encountered has gone above and beyond to help me. I've talked to at least 4 different employees, and they are all extremely knowledgeable about animals and what's best for their care. I fostered a Red Ear slider turtle for 5 months, and I got all my supplies there and advice from several staff members on how to care for the turtle and help him adjust. I also have a dog who is getting old and has had some health issues, and staff members have gone out of their way to help me with finding products for her. It is always a great experience going there. I can tell the staff gets along and it's just a friendly atmosphere. We need more stores like this. read more
