3.5 stars To me, this Petco location is pretty good! I can bring my little guy (toy poodle pup) and he can sniff and prance and look around. They have a nice selection of toys, treats as well as food, some clothing options / clothes line (a little pricey!) and grooming and vet services. So, it's a one-stop shop for sure. I had my dog microchipped here and I've brought him to get his first grooming experience. I had Penelope and she did an OK job. It wasn't the most amazing ever (I wanted him a bit more fluffy, but she did say - and I know this - he hates the blow dryer). But she checked in with me on the size of the cut and how short she should cut. I'll probably bring him again to her. The only downside is that if you try to call the store, you probably won't get an answer. The store seems to be a bit short-staffed and it does get fairly busy so the check out line can get a bit long (with usually just 2 cashiers on). Other than that, it's a good option and I'll continue to frequent it for my pooch's needs. read more

Doesn't matter what time customers visit, there is always one cashier only, if we're lucky two cashiers for this giant store. 3 cash registers and one cashier! Then it's a wonder when we all chose Amazon or just ordering online. I'm done. I am standing in line for8 minutes right now. There are 15 people online and one cashier. It's More key at 6:15 pm. Unacceptable read more

it's a useless dog training program .they should just tell pet owner from the beginning that they will only tell pet owners need to do and what to do and not dog train ..they just stand and let the dog do its own .. I ask the trainer what they teach for 6 weeks ....only socialization for the dogs .. I should have just bring my dog to the park .. waste of time and money ..VERY UNSATISFIED CLIENT... read more

One star is too much! I took my dog for grooming yesterday (6/10). It was her first time; she is 5 months old. I told them that I wanted them to cut a bit around her eyes, her paws, and her private area. I told them that I love her CURLS. I also showed them how I wanted her to look. I will NEVER go to this place anymore. 1. Photo: Before grooming. 2. Photo: How we wanted her to look. 3 & 4. Photo: After grooming. 5. Photo: receipt Moreover, before I saw her, they asked me if I wanted to add the tip, and of course, I gave them because I trusted them. Later, I asked for I refund for the $110.30 I paid. But unfortunately, I cannot revert what they've done. Obviously, I loved her so much but is very hard for me and my partner to look at these pictures and see how PETCO ruined our puppy's hair :( read more

Didn't want to do their job right when clearly my packages were not oversized because I needed to do some amazing returns. I wanted to buy something but due to the attitude of one of the manager denying to measure the package, I will never ever shop here. read more

Shameful, disappointing, and horrible treatment of Betta fish. As a multiple Betta fish owner, they are not merely "just fish." I can attest to them having their own individual quirky little personalities, my last being such a ham and a lover of being photographed. I went in today to look at some Bettas and was just horrified. They are very obviously not cared for, or even fed. The plastic containers contained no food and there were no air holes in the containers. It was a Betta graveyard. Such beautiful fish laying dead, some laying there for obviously quite some time, some looked like new deaths. It was just sad. This place should be ashamed. A store that's a place to care for pets and that does anything but that. Every living being is worthy of care and respect. RIP little babies, you did not deserve that life. SHAME ON YOU, REGO CENTER PETCO. read more

Smooth visit for dog vaccinations for the first time. The veterinarian he was great explaining things. We were in at 1:00pm for our 1:15pm appointment and we were on our way to the car to go home at 1:35pm. Very organized! Mad because I could not take pictures for my baby's first shots read more

I'm only giving this location 2 stars because we have been satisfied with the grooming. Not so much with the customer service. We've been coming here for about a year, since we first got our puppy. Initially, our experience was okay. Angelica, our groomer, took great care of our dog, and my dog also likes her. Once in a while, the appointment starts 15-30 minutes late, but we were okay, because we understand things can get busy and unpredictable. Our last experience was unacceptable. We check-in to our appointment on time, and provided the updated vaccine info. They spent 10 minutes looking for the record we sent that morning, and couldnt find it. We resent it, showed them a copy on our phone, the staff looked at it, told us they got it, and asked us to wait. About 30 minutes later, after the crowd cleared, we asked about the wait time and were asked for the vaccine records again. Showed them on the phone, and after another 15 minutes, they told us the records are insufficient. We can be understanding of their policies, but this cannot be shared with us an hour after our appointment. And pinning this on the new staff is also ridiculous. Management needs to train and supervise properly. Marianne told us that the person we first spoke with is new, said she can't give us our hour back, and turned around, sending us away. Unfortunately, we were also sent home once before already, because they couldn't find the vaccine records that were emailed to them 1 week prior. We have been patient with them the past year and learned to bring a hard copy, but our last experience was ridiculous. We will never go back to this location and seriously have to reconsider before renewing the Vital Care membership. Words of advice to this location: - Get a receptionist - Allocate sufficient time for each appointment - Supervise your staff read more

There's never enough employees working at any given time at this location. It's very frustrating when trying to buy just about anything. If you do find someone after a half hour then the employees have an attitude and is annoyed. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Place is clean, I didn't go see the fish so I can only review on my experience buying some food for my 2 cats. I normally buy cat food online from a different retailer but they only sell food by the case. Petco doesn't have a huge variety of brands but they do sell individual cans in the stores so you can try them before committing to an entire case online. My girls loved Taste of the Wild, $1.29 for 5.5oz. Also bought some Whole Hearted at $1.09 which was probably the cheapest for higher quality food in Petco. I normally buy them Only Natural Pet and others online. I can't imagine feeding my girls Friskies or something similar. Its always best to feed your fur babies the best you can afford. There's always discounts for high quality food on online. The healthier they are, the less money you will have to spend on vet bills. read more

This review is for the employee who helped us out today. We went in looking for a small pet for my 4-year old son (his first pet). We originally wanted a couple of parakeets but those were sold out. Next we went for a hamster and would have taken one if it were not for this very knowledgeable and honest staff member... We were told that the hamster would probably not be good for a 4-year old, and listed several reasons (including, they would likely bite because a 4-year old doesn't really have the motor skills to be gentle enough. Yikes!) Anyway, they could have just sold me the hamster and hundreds of dollars of hamster items and let me walk out the door... instead, they actually cared about us, and more importantly, the animal. I'm sure that is not good for Petco's bottom line, but since I really appreciate the care and honesty, I will certainly be back when new parakeets come in and continue to shop there. Thank you for the refreshing retail sales experience! read more

Whoever closed the store at the Petco location on junction Blvd on the night of September 14th 2020 should be ashamed of their lack of professionalism and courtesy-as I was given the middle finger by an associate who told me they already closed the registers 5 min prior to store closing when I attempted to enter the store to pickup a harness for my emotional support animal. read more

Petco - Pet Groomers Near Me - Rego Park, New York

Went in for my puppy's first grooming session and they did a terrible job with the cut, not taking anything off the body/trunk and messed up the limbs and the head. The service cost around $100 and I was terrified looking at my pup after picking her up; it was a botched job that looks like it took them less than 5 minutes to do. Very disappointing, I had to fix her up at home and with my zero experience in cutting hair, I did a better job than they did. Do not recommend bringing your pets here for grooming. read more

Amazing humans and employees. They're caring and knowledgeable, and most of all patient. I rescued a dog that never had toys, socialization or a life really. He was always kept in a crate in a basement most of his 1 yr old life. So he's not the easiest to control yet but so loving that he won all the staff over for the ongoing help he needs (and I need too). Like obedience training to start and then dog bowls and food, and shampoo and the list goes on. I look fwd to showing photos of his doggy training and videos of his progress. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and sorry for the messes. TEN Stars: Andrea, Finn, Alex and the Cashiers! Love, Monica and Baloo read more

I really want to like this location and have given it multiple tries, but they may be out of chances. The grooming team is especially bad. I took my dog in for a 10:30 bath and cut. I go about my business and realize about two hours later that I haven't heard from them. Usually it takes 1 or 1.5 hours, so I didn't think much of it. An hour and a half later (3.5 hours after I dropped him off), I call but there's no answer. I go to the store and see two women in the grooming area behind glass. There was no one in the reception area. I knocked on the window and the two women looked at me and then just went back to work. I did it again. Same non-response. So, I look for a manager and explain the situation. They come out and told me that they were behind (oh, really?). I told them that I needed to see my dog to make sure he was okay. The groomer brings him out, calls him "it" on more than one occasion. I tell her, for future reference, when you are behind, it's nice to get a call to let me know that everything is okay, but its taking longer. She tried to give me some line about their new phone. I was told it would take another 45 minutes to finish up with him. More than an hour later, I get the message to come pick him up. Full charge, of course, because who cares about customer service. Total experience was 4.5 hours to do a 1.5-hour cut, never really got an apology--just excuses. read more

I take my puppy to this Petco location regularly for the vaccine package which he finally finished. Yay! Now he can finally get groomed. I always watch puppies getting groomed while our pup would wait to get his vaccines. The groomers are so patient and kind with the pups. I couldn't wait to take mine! Today was finally his turn and he just had a face feet and Fanny with an added on holiday package that included clipping and biding nails, brushing teeth, extended brush out & a holiday scented spritz- basically he got pampered. When returning to pick up my pup I saw him getting his finishing touches and his groomer was sooo sweet and affectionate with my fur boy. He looks and smells amazing! We kept getting compliments on him from everyone on our way out and heading home. Rubi was my pups groomer & highly recommend her. I would give this location a 5th star but they don't always have what I need in stock and the vaccine clinic cancelled on me two weekends in a row. They were amazing aside from that and also affordable in comparison to so many other groomers and vaccine sites. read more

I went into a petco today to pick up puppy food and a girl there really went out her way to help me . I really wish I got her name . She stopped me and asked me if I needed help when I did look a little lost , she went to find the food i was looking for and asked me questions about my dog and gave me recommendations. I've never had anyone in Petco help me out like this before . The Petco on metropolitan is actually closer to me and when you go there no one ever wants to help you and you gotta search for someone . But this experience was so different . read more

I wish I could give this store negative stars. I called ahead to see if they had a specific cat food. They assured me they did and they would put aside for me to pick up. I was thrilled. When I came to pick it up as discussed, they no longer had the food and had no recollection of the phone call. The staff seemingly does not communicate with each-other. But I understand that happens with people switch shifts. I asked to talk to a manager who provided awful costumer service. She did not make eye contact with me and was texting the entire time we spoke. The staff at this store seemed truly miserable and every question seemed to bother them. I truly wasn't asking for a lot and happily waited in line several times. I was there for over a half hour and I will never come back. Do not waste your time with this store. read more

What is it about these little critters that bring joy to our lives. This Petco is fairly medium in size and caters to a few handful of pet products. They have items for dogs, cats, birds, aquatic life,reptiles, etc... I noticed mostly dog food, cat food, cushions, litter bowls, cages, carrying bags, toys and other accessories. One or two special items include ice cream and a non-processed meat shrink wrapped item in the little fridge. I noticed an occasional dog grooming service going on sometimes. They have a handful of adoption viewings with plastic/glass windows to see the cats/dogs up for adoption but seldom are any available at this location, only every once in a while. The have hamster, birds, fish mainly for sale on my most recent visit. Prices range from a cheap one serve canister for the cat to $50 bags of natural chow for the dog. This place is very chill and the staff so-so helpful depending on who. It is clean inside and staff seem to do their job well and answer question in an okay manner. read more

Good selection of fish choices and sells everything you need to maintain a good tank! Their employees are very helpful.

Never let Petco groom your dog especially "Maryanne"....this is what they did to our dog today....the groomer finished and said "it looks horrible"...we asked to make his coat a little shorter....instead she shaved him. When we complain, she lied to the manager and said we instructed her to shave our dog. Groomer then was caught in a lie and said she used one size clipper and there were lines in the coat so she used the next level down and couldn't get rid of the lines so she continue until he had nothing left. Yet she left random parts of his body untouched...the employees were very rude minus the manager who was basically speechless due to the incompetence of one of her employees. read more

they barely have staff to begin with. i always go to get crickets for my beardie and they dont even give you the right amount i asked for 80 i barely even got 50 in the bag like im not expecting them to count 80 crickets one by one but like im not expecting them to give me less for what im paying as well then i tell her and shes mad rude about it and goes "there is i don't know what to tell you about it" - like ... then i asked her for an egg carton and she literally gives me a cube like what am i gonna do with that. when i work at the city i prefer to go to the petco there they are completely different and more nice about it read more

I brought my dog in for nail trimming and tooth brushing, arrived on time however it was packed which i can understand it's a Sunday. However what i do have a problem with is when you guys wanted vaccination proof we gave it. One of the staff members said it was ok that it was cleared. We waited to be brought in. We asked about the wait time to know that they never got the bortedella proof... Then they told us that the proof had no expiration date.... Well here's the thing your staff said it was ok. The manager came to speak with us. Manager(never introduced her name) is HORRIBLE. Idk how you became a manager at petco grooming but you definitely need help with a management position. She gave me the following responses... 1) she's new you cant expect her to know everything (I hope the staff reads this message as you're in pretty bad hands) 2) I'm sorry but i cant give you back your 1 hour 3) I'm outta of hands i have too many girls to watch and train Well then maybe you should consider being a regular staff, if you cant handle training and decent customer service you shouldnt even be in management. Highlights: 1) Terrible customer service 2) Irresponsible 3) MANAGER THAT HAS NO MANAGEMENT SKILLS DO NOT COME HERE ITS A WASTE OF TIME ONE + HOUR OF WAIT TIME, WASTED $ ON PARKING RIDICULOUS read more

Tried few locations, this is the ONLY ONE who had the food I needed for my sis dog in stock. This is something worth writing about.

Petco - Pet Groomers Near Me - Rego Park, New York

This place is a SH!T SHOW. I went here today for the first time, looking for a specific item for my extremely destructive 4 month old poodle puppy. I searched for someone to help me, the employees I saw all had a "don't ask me" vibe. Finally a woman with curly longish gray hair was walking by me and didn't make eye contact (don't ask me). I knew she worked there by the shirt she was wearing, but asked anyway, "do you work here?", I was met with a sigh and a what the F_ck do you want, look. I explained my situation, and what I was looking for, and the only way that she could have more demonstrated her disinterest in my situation, is if she actually said, I don't give a flying F_ck about you or your dog. She just said we don't have that, turned and walked away, as I was still talking to her. I just wandered around the store for about another 20 minutes , looking for anything that might solve my puppy problem. I encountered another employee a young guy, he was nice, but not really knowledgeable. I ended up just grabbing a couple of items and went to the checkout line. That's where the fun really began. There were only 3 people ahead of me, but the guy at the register was so stoned, it took 15 minutes for me to get to the register. I understand weed is now legal in NY, but you can't have someone like this on your register, he's taking 3 times longer than normal and can't count change. While I was waiting on line, there was another employee, right next to the stoner guy, but he was doing returns and wouldn't make eye contact with the people on line, because we'd expect him to open a register. By the time I was second in line, there were 8 people behind me, and only stoner guy checking people put, while the other guy ignored us. To make matters worse, the angry gray haired woman I encountered earlier, came by by 3 times to talk to the guy doing returns at the register next to stoner guy. She didn't look at the clearly angry people on the line either. When it was finally my turn, as I was being checked out, another employee started talking to the stoner guy who was checking me out, about some kind of employee promotion, I was like WTF? So to recap, they don't carry a fairly common item, the staff is rude, not knowledgeable and not coherent and can't even comprehend the simple concept of, if there is a line, and your doing "busy work", open another register. This store should be shut down, it's a disgrace. read more

We go to this Petco location regularly and have always had a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they always give our dachshund love, attention, and cookies! The groomers in particular stand out for their care, friendliness, knowledge, and skill. Years ago we took our dog to a different groomer and had a less than stellar experience, but once we met Rubi at Petco, we were hooked! Our dog adores her and it's clear that she loves him too. She always gives him a fantastic cut and is able to capture his personality in her work, and most importantly we know that he is safe and happy when he is with her. Our dog is a part of our family, so we only want the best for him, and Rubi truly is the best! read more

Poor customer service and knowledge. I went to the Petco Junction Blvd. to return an online item and was given a merchandise credit. When I asked why I received this when I paid with a credit card, I was told by staff it was their policy. I further questioned where is it stated and was told it's on the website and to contact customer service. I contacted customer service and was informed that the store need to contact them to process the refund and that I should go back to the store to do this. I don't live near a Petco which is why I purchase online and having merchandise credit that can only be used in-store defeats why I shop online. Petco, you lost a customer... moving to Chewy. read more

Terrible customer service. The people were very rude. They were very disrespectful. I had a vet appointment at 11:30 and had to wait until around 1:30 to be seen just because the vets were on break. Very ridiculous. Never coming back here. Mind you I received a message from pet I saying to send a 3 when I arrived and wait in my car till they were ready because it was busy so I did but I never received anything back so I went to investigate and it turned out the veterinarians were on break so I had to wait for them to return. Ridiculously service and nobody even cared how early my appointment was. I will never be coming back here. Extremely rude people. They don't even deserve a star but I have to put something. read more

I normally get my baby Myla groomed by local groomers but I was never fully satisfied with the results until I tried Petco. Make sure to ask for Marian when you go in. She did a phenomenal job on my princess and she smelled soo good for days after her grooming.

I highly recommend Marian is you want your fur baby looking extra cute and fluffy. read more

The grooming service at this petco location is spectacular! Rubi is amazing! My puppy (not so much of a puppy anymore) loves her from the beginning. She is so gentle and very thorough with My puppies brushing. I have a very protective German Shepherd and she took to Ruby right away. My puppy comes back to be smelling good and clean. Her nails trimmed and her fur de shedded! I highly recommend Rubi! I have taken my pup to other groomers before this petco opened and they were not able to do a great job and I would have a nervous puppy when she came back. This petco location has the best groomer in my opinion and my puppy thinks so too. read more

The good this place of huge with plenty of selections for all types of pets. Second it's also very clean. Now the bad. There's one like 3 people working at one time with 2 at the register and 1 in the back doing god knows what. If you have any questions you better ask google, actually not because service is horrible inside. So your screwed. Also they way they treat their fish is disgusting. I went to buy some fish for my 30 gallon tank and immediately left and went to my local mom and pop pet store for fish. In the goldfish tank there was atleast 20 dead goldfish, and in all the other tanks there was DEAD FISH with EVERYWHERE !!! Some were floating at the top other just sunk at the bottom and the rest being sucked by the filters. I hope they know dead fish cause harm to the rest of the healthy wish in the tank. Shame on you. read more

If I could give this location no stars I would. If you're planning to bring your dog here for vaccinations, don't! I made an appointment for 11:41am. Texted them that I was there at 11:31am, with no response. I waited in my car for 30 min until I decided to go inside because based on the text it said to wait in the car until I received a response to go in the store. When I went inside to check what was going on, I find out that the staff went to lunch and even the cashier said that the staff doing vaccinations were irresponsible. I'm never going here again, it's ridiculously unprofessional. read more

Petco - BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE - Pet Groomers Near Me - Rego Park, New York

1. I waited to be helped for 30min until a flustered employee came over and got mad at me for not having "tapped on the glass and waved her over, 'cause I don't know who's here or not." Even though I had a scheduled appointment at 3:00pm. (I'm not paying you $100 to wait on you or wave you over, I am your client, you wait on me) 2. There were maintenance men on a ladder working on wires in the ceiling with ceiling tiles all over the place inside the grooming area above the dogs heads 3. A second groomer strolled over from another part of the store, halfway through me being scolded by the first one (for being on time and expecting to be helped) after about 45-50min after my arrival just chillin' like she wasn't supposed to be at her post the whole time. read more
