Horrible customer service from the employee with blue hair and face mask. Won't be returning EVER to this store! They wouldn't sell us a 22 cent goldfish! They asked what kind of tank we had for the tiny fish and apparently our HUGE glass fish bowl wasn't acceptable. I laughed and said I wasn't planning on buying a $100 + tank for a $0.22 feeder fish! They went on to school me that fishbowls are where goldfish go to die and they need big tanks because they can live 20 years and grow very large. She was assuming we had some tiny fish bowl but we have a HUGE glass bowl with a filter! That tiny fish would have been just fine! Instead the employee acted about ready to start a save the goldfish protest by blocking off the freeway! We left the store, went down the hill to PetSmart and got our fish there. I'm 51 years old, mother of 4 wonderful kids, been married 21 years, and we're responsible pet owners! I think if I'm able to raise 4 children successfully I should be able to manage caring for a 22 cent fish! Maybe Karen should worry a bit more about the 20+ dead fish in the stores tanks instead of making assumptions on us as pet owners! Unbelievable! read more

This is the new Petco store, in the location where Pier One used to be. The old store was on the other side of Peninsula Center. The new store is as different from the old one as night & day. The new store is much larger, has grooming services, and sells live critters, like parakeets. There are little furry critters for sale, too, although I haven't explored to find out exactly what they are. When I see critters being sold, it makes me nervous because I always question whether they will get the good homes they deserve. I do appreciate that Petco hosts cat adoptions. In fact, at this new store there's a special section for rescue adoptions which appears to have a wall of built-in cages. Fancy! But the rescues are not as visible now as they were at the old location - they're off to the side instead of right up in front. *sigh* The new location doesn't have the cozy feel that the old, smaller one had. And I see some of the former employees but not all - bummer, because I had gotten to know & like the staff at the old store. At the old store, parking was easy. At the new one, parking sucks....mainly because it's on the busy side of the plaza, the side I avoid. It's still possible to park at the old location & just walk to the new one, which I do. And the new store could be easily accessed along that route via their big rear entry door....if only it were open. But it's locked up tight & blocked by a mountain of inventory waiting to be put on the shelves. The new store has been open since early November, more than a month. So I kinda doubt the rear door is gonna be available any time soon. So - I dunno. Overall, I liked the old location much better. The products I routinely buy are not available on the shelves like before & I did have to special order stuff on my last visit. I guess there's no fighting corporate "progress". But Petco does a lot to help homeless animals and rescues, so I'll continue to be a customer unless & until the entire plaza becomes too crowded & crazy (word is Target is taking over the old location so things will likely be greatly changing). I shop on the PV Hill because it's always been peaceful. We shall see...... read more

I will never go to Petco again! I purchased some cat toys for a friend, using cash because the cashier advised that if I used a credit card, if the toys were returned the money would go back to my credit card. Learning later that the friend doesn't need more cat toys, I returned them the next day. The receipt says that items can be returned within 30 days with a receipt, which I had. When making the return, the store would only give me a gift card, not cash, and repeatedly claimed that their "system" doesn't allow them to give a cash refund. It does not state this under the Return Policy on the receipt or online, nor did the cashier tell me this. In fact, it says that if a check is used for purchase, the return will be in cash. I called the general Petco number on the receipt and got the same bogus answer (after trying other excuses first): The system doesn't allow us to give cash refunds. This violates their OWN policy and is unacceptable. If you take cash for purchases, how can you not give cash refunds? This is a company totally unconcerned about customer service. Bye bye. read more

Took my dog in for a bath & haircut. They shaved him bald and kept him caged for 3 hours which traumatized him. He now afraid of being alone or left. This experience changed his personality. read more

I walked into this location looking for some dog food. We just adopted several months ago and Danté just hasn't been eating the food we've been putting out for him. As I was browsing the aisles, Chad approached me and offered his asstance. I explained my situation and he was happy to help. Before he started just pointing anything out, he asked me some questions to get some understanding of our lifestyle with the dog - that was refreshing. We pointed out different types and named the benefits of each. Even offered some tips and info as to why Dante hasn't been eating. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. We narrowed it down to one and even saved me some money on the purchase. Thanks again, Chad! read more

A great selection of food for your pets. They also do grooming for dogs. And they do have pet adoptions. This place has a lot of treats for your pets and you could buy them by the pound. I was very impressed with the store because he was very clean. Their customer service is OK that's why they got four star. They do not price match anywhere. That's another reason for giving them for stars. Overall a fantastic pet store. read more

Petco - Treats - Pet Stores Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

This is strictly for the groomers. In summary, they did a good job on the actual task- grooming. However, they lack professionalism and lack attention to detail. As with all groomers, they requested copies of vaccinations. Understandable. We were taking 2 dogs in and honestly did not know that one was not up to date. I should note that their vaccinations have been done at multiple clinics, and the paperwork may have been a little more complicated than what they might be used to, but it's really not that hard to review them quickly. Anyways, they misread the documents and refused to take either dog. I had to get on the phone with the employee and pointed out that one of the pups was indeed up to date. No apology. In fact, she still sounded hesitant so I assured her that she could call the other clinic. Again, no apology or any effort to take responsibility for her mistake. When picking up my dog, they handed me an invoice that was more than what they had originally quoted us. And when I brought up my frustrations, the employee actually blamed her manager. Strange. Another older lady came out and began to chime in, while talking over me. The cashier was also very cold. I was pretty frustrated with the whole experience. I did not appreciate multiple employees ganging up when it was their mistake for overlooking the records in the first place. My 2 cents here is that, it is inevitable to make mistakes but the way they handled the situation was not pleasant in any way. Learn to take responsibility for your mistakes and treat people with kindness. On that note, I will NOT be returning. read more

Petco in Rolling Hills Estates; Amazing service! Had to go there to get a specific Flea Treatment for our cats since the one by my house was out of stock. Was greeted by Cody, and was so grateful I was. This young man was extremely informative unlike any employee I've come across in the many years shopping at the bigger named pet stores. This young man should be given a gold star and be made manager, if he isn't already. This is truly what customer service is; he took the time to ask questions and explain what the best treatment I could afford would be for the amount of cats I have. I left with a better long term Brand of Flea Treatment and looking forward to a much better outcome for both my Precious Fur Babies and my frugal purse. Thank You Cody!!! Two Thumbs Up read more

We live in Torrance and shopped around for different places to get training for our puppy. We ended up going with Petco in the peninsula plaza for several reasons. First, the pricing is great. When you pay for the class you can also get an in-store credit. Second, we were able to get one on one training with a great trainer. Chad is a the best trainer very attentive of my pets needs and excellent at what he does. Third and finally all of the people are great there. Everyone is nice and they go out of their way to help. If you are looking for a dog trainer you couldn't do better than Chad!!! read more

Petco - Rufus in Dirt!! - Pet Stores Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

I recently had my dog groomed at the Rolling Hills Estates Petco by lead groomer Dana Reilly. When I watched through the outside window I thought it strange that she did not look underneath my dog when she shaved him.In fact she was talking to another groomer as she shaved my 9 month old puppy.Her negligence caused a razor abrasion and left his testicles bloody and Cooper traumatized.I took Cooper to see the Vet to see if antibiotics were needed.He verified the razor abrasion and told me how to care for Cooper to make sure he did not become infected.When I went back to the store about this matter Tiffany who claimed to be a manager was rude to me to the point of being insulting. In my angst of being mistreated and my puppy being abused I called Customer Service for a week but could not get a supervisor to return my call.I finally sent an email and finally the Petco District Manager Shannon Smith called me and assured me that it was appropriate for them to reimburse me for the Vet bill but there has been no follow through as to my receiving that promised check.We are approaching 1 month in a few days. I emailed the CEO of Petco and he has not responded either. I sent both he and the District Manager a photo of Cooper's bloody testicles. Photo's do not lie ! Petco's customer service is nil .Given the fact that my little puppy was injured and traumatized I find it appalling that Petco did not reach out in any way. I have lost respect for Petco and would never consider using their grooming department.In fact I will do my business with Pet Food Express right across the street. read more

This store always feels like it's set at 80 degrees. I was just at MOD Pizza and it felt 10° cooler in there!

If I could give it zero stars I would. Please don't ever bring your dog here for grooming. They are the worst. They called and said my dog war ready. When they handed him to me he was wet. I asked them to dry him more. I paid for service to brush his teeth and clean his ears. They said that they did but when I checked his ears and his mouth they were not clean. They checked my dog for mats before they took him in. I brushed him thoroughly to make sure he would have no tangles before his appointment. During the precheck one tangle was found. When I picked him up he has mats on his ears and throughout his body. The technician gave him mats during the washing process. He is a long hair dog and he was nut washed with the proper technique. Then they has the audacity to charge an extra $20 to untangle him - however he was full of tangles when I picked him up. I asked them to untangle him and Jasmine the dog groomer said she could not. I spoke with her for 5 minutes showing her how to do it and she went to the back and came back and said she got one out. I asked for the manager and he said she untangled him. I showed him the tangles and he still did not waive the additional fees. I went home and worked on the dog myself. It total I was charged over $95 for a bath- no haircut. They did a terrible job and they are incompetent. If you have an average / short haired dog yiu might be ok if you only want your dog shaved to 1/2 in. But if you have a speciality dog, designer dog with longer hair you will regret coming here. My dog went on happy and playful. When she brought him out he was shaking and scared. I even asked her what happened and why he was scared and she could not answer me. My dog is groomed every two weeks and is used to being groomed and handled. I came to Petco because I was not able to attend my regular appointment with the regular groomer. It was a huge mistake. read more

I'd love to be able to give this store a higher rating but it would only account for the two very friendly and very helpful cashiers that assisted me. The manager Jacob on the other hand was rude and seemed to lack communication skills that I would expect from someone in his position. He not only left me in the aisle waiting for his return for over 15min. He never even returned. The only reason I was helped was because of a friendly young latina cashier. Im not to sure if Jacob understands his responsibilities but I definitely feel he needs managerial training. read more

I just started shopping here and the customer service is impressive. They walked me to the product, provided recommendations for my new baby boy and helped me with food, etc. Thank you as it was my first experience of this store and I'll be back! read more

my dogs look and smell so good! They left the store really happy, And so did i, Dana is my groomer and she always does an amazing job with my dogs, she's very attentive,patient, loving, I've never had someone love my dogs so much the way she does, I wouldn't change my groomer for any one else, I highly recommend her as the lead groomer thank you so much petco & dana for taking care of my dogs read more

The groomers at Petco do a marvelous job on our senior chow mix! They are very kind to her, and she's not afraid to be dropped off there. I'm so glad we have a great groomer up here on the hill!! It's also nice that the store is so big since they stock her special dog food. When I dropped her off the other day I took a moment to check out the cats that were up for adoption. I wish we could have a cat but I have too many relatives with allergies. Even so, I love that Petco is doing its part to find forever homes for these fantastic felines. read more

Just walking into the store to check out the adorable pets they had and landed on an hamster that was on sale for half off. I didn't really plan on picking up a new addition to my family but found out the hamster they had there wasn't ever chosen for adoption and thought it was destined for us to come and save the poor hamsters life. Robyn, a store clerk, was very helpful and knowledgeable with the items and purchases we needed in order for Patti, our hamster to live a fulfilled life. Robyn's customer service was exceptional and went out of her way to provide her knowledgable service to help us in anyway possible. read more

I often bring Buddy to this Petco because it is convenient to pick up treats for my pup. They do a nice job (though no bells whistles or bows). However this time it was so decidedly NOT convenient I won't be returning. I brought my dog in for his appointment at 3 but they said it was at 2. My husband was there when I booked and confirmed it was at 3 and I busted my butt driving from 30 minutes away to get there on time. However I was just SOL since their appointment booker double booked. I thought the reason we are given a 3 hour window is to be accommodating for mistakes like that-especially when it is their mistake. I guess they are just too big to care about customer service. read more

Chad the Dog Training Chad the dog trainer is AMAZING! We adopted a five year old terrier who was not housebroken and had leash aggression issues. Our dog now goes to the door when she has to go out! And on the occasions when she does go in the house she uses pee pads 90% of the time. And she no longer growls and lunges at dogs when we take her for walks. We wholeheartedly recommend Chad! read more

We called and booked onto the puppy playtime. We arrived with vaccination records and our pup all excited to play and the trainer just looked at us and said "oh the puppy playtime...err...I don't think I'm going to do it today". Er what? I tell him we called yesterday and booked our spot and we're here- "yeah no I'm not doing it today." Then he walked off. We were so shocked, while standing next to a huge table advertising the event. Totally bizarre and no apology just a bad attitude. Needless to say we are no longer going to enroll for the training classes or even shop at this store again. read more

Very happy with this Petco in my neighborhood. I've done puppy classes here and get dog food here (Canidae dry and Merrick wet). I wish they had more variety of single dog snacks like Pet Food Express. I have done grooming here too, but my dog is really afraid of the dryer so I just wash her myself. Everyone is pretty friendly and they have no problems taking back something my dog won't eat!! read more

Petco - Emma loves the store and the staff. - Pet Stores Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

Review is for grooming-store is fine for product. I will admit my dog had some mats-I agreed to pay additional to have those worked out-and he is bathed and brushed out weekly so it wasn't a lot. They kept the dog for 4 hours and all they did was shave him bald. Called and told them they just lost three dogs for grooming-person I spoke to didn't seem too concerned. Will be looking elsewhere. If you have a short haired dog that doesn't require actual grooming-probably fine for a bath. read more

Not happy at all with the grooming service here. My dog came in for a bath and I picked him up he was still wet ... and his face was still dirty. Then I brought him for a haircut about 1 month later and they refused to take him becuase she said my mini poodle nipped at her .. never before have they said anything to me about this, and maybe if the groomers were more friendly and welcoming dogs wouldn't be so nervous around your groomers. Bottom line I wouldn't go here for grooming and I definetly won't be giving my business to them. read more

I went to Petco to buy rabbit food. They didn't have the type I usually buy. The dog trainer was standing nearby so I asked him if he could help. I asked him for the brand Carefresh. He then pointed to where the rabbit food was located. I told him I already looked and didn't see the style I was looking for. I asked him if he could look to see if they had it in the back. He then made a motion with hands saying you want me to go in the back to look for food? I just said forget it and went to the front to get help from the manager! This place has gone down hill since they relocated to this bigger location. There are never any customers when we go there. I now know why. With crappy customer service like that, they are losing customers! Also, that dog trainer looked higher than a kite. He probably couldn't understand my question!! read more

All Petco's are the same because they are a chain. It's always going to be the employees that make the difference. Petco in the Peninsula Center has wonderful, caring, animal loving employees who go out of their way to make my experience the best. A special shout out to Shelly in the grooming department who takes the time and energy to groom my dog exceptionally well. My dog is crazy about her and gets so excited when she has her appointment. We will certainly continue to have Shelly groom our dog on a regular basis. read more

I was in Petco Pennisula Center Rolling Hills this afternoon. I happen to hear a dog yelping and looked into the grooming area to see one of the groomers "Ardy" (young dark haired girl) brushing a small white dog's fur so hard that the dog's head was jerked backwards with every stroke and with every stroke the dog yelped. Small white dog with poodle type fur-this was after it was washed and she was trimming the dog. I was appalled, she did not stop, so I went and banged on the glass. (This was not even my dog!) She looked up at me like I was intruding upon HER! There was a young blond man (very young) at the grooming counter who said before I even pounded on the glass "Oh he just does that" (inferring it was the DOG who was at fault!) Another Petco rep came over to the grooming area and said "she is just brushing the dog" and I replied, "NOW, she is just brushing the dog, but where were you when the dog was yelping--five minutes ago!!" Per my promise to the unfazed employees of Petco, this was reported to Corporate offices of Petco. I have owned multiple dogs all my life; dogs do NOT YELP unless there is a reason. i left the store with the definite impression at Petco it is more important to ignore inappropriate conduct by a co-worker and blame the dog, than it is to insure humane treatment by the employees. It is significant to add, this was a sweet dog, never made an aggressive move once. If your dog let's you know he/she doesn't want to go back to a grooming place, do not leave your dog unattended there! This groomer was in the far back area of the salon, it was just happenstance that I happen to hear the yelps. read more

I brought my Pomeranian for a trim and specifically asked the stylist to only trim his hair around his legs and back. I emphasized that we like him fluffy and take really good care of his coat. She made a note in the system to avoid confusion. Three hours later his hair has been cut very short and it is uneven. You can see every cut that was made as it looks "choppy". I am extremely disappointed with the service and the lack of accountability from the stylist. No resolution was offered instead the stylist was defensive and stated that I requested a short hair cut. I would never do such request, there is a specific style for a Pomeranian and she obviously is not familiar with it. Petco advertises 100% satisfaction guarantee and trained professionals in their grooming department, however today's staff fell short from that. To make matters worst, as I was walking out, one of their employees unaware of the situation complimented my dog and mentioned how he looked different as a Pom with short hair as they are usually very "fluffy". read more

This review is for the groomers at this location--they are wonderful! I've taken my dog there many times. She's older (nearly 14!) and has skin issues and they take such good care of her. They're accommodating about scheduling and go above and beyond to care for her while she's there. They also do a great job trimming her nails and brushing her teeth. Brittney has been especially sweet, but honestly everyone we've worked with is wonderful. And if you're shopping for pet food, Tim is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend! read more

This Petco doesn't deserve even one star but I we had to select a number or it wouldn't let us post this review. My husband and I arrived at the Rolling Hills Petco in Rolling Hills Estates, California, at approximately 4:45 pm. We went in to pick up a few things and noticed a Green Cheek Conure bird had a FILTHY water bowl. My husband started to look for an employee to get the water changed and I also started looking. We spoke to two separate employees regarding the water and they said the manager "Sean" had the key and was the only one who could open the cage, they couldn't do anything. We said we would wait to make sure it got done. The water was beyond filthy in the bowl, it could not be exaggerated. The employees said "we change it every morning and the birds mess it up in minutes". We have a cockatoo and we change her water morning and night and her bowl NEVER EVER has looked like the water this poor bird at Petco has to drink. It is blatant neglect and cruelty to animals. We don't like going to this Petco because there is usually a dead Beta fish or dirty Guinea Pig cage. And yes, it never seems to fail, a dirty water bowl in the bird cages no matter what time of day. My husband searched around for this manager, Sean, and found him to have an attitude, a look of contempt on his face, he was beyond arrogant with a care less attitude, at which we let him know we weren't going to leave until the water was changed. We looked at our watches and, finally, at 5:15 pm, this Sean grudgingly took his key and opened the cage with two employees standing by him and we waited until they change the water. We are very aware that Petco is not going to do a thing about this, we've come to realize that about Petco, so we are going to report this to Peta and other animal rights organizations letting them know that Petco allows this kind of neglect and we know it to take place in at least the store in Rolling Hills Estates but not sure about the others. They should NOT be allowed to sell animals. If my wife and I hadn't arrived at the store they would have waited until the next morning to change the water for this poor little bird. So we're spreading the word through Yelp! and other social media platforms and anyone who reads this spread the word. read more

Grooming consistently runs late - I was told 4 hours, had to wait almost another hour in the store. Very disrespectful of customer's time - at least call and let me know you are running late! Inexcusable. It would help to at least apologize for running so late! read more

Being a new dog owner I wasn't sure where to go for training and tried the training at this location. I absolutely do not recommend it. The trainer worked my dog up, making her anxious, hugged her tightly, which is a no no(https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/201604/the-data-says-dont-hug-the-dog), and then, brought his next client in before I had time to get a leash on my dog who needs to be socialized with dogs. It's not surprise that she went for the other dog. He pulled her up to keep from going after the other dog, briefly apologized to me and my dog, and left to see if the other dog was ok. I was left on my own to calm my dog down and get her out of the store. read more

I felt compelled to express my dismay about an incident I witnessed in the Rancho Palos Verdes store on Saturday July 29 2017. On of your "trainers" was supposedly socializing a client's recently rescued dog with the help of a customer's St Bernard dog who happened to be in the store. The St Bernard was 3 times the size of the dog being 'trained' and the 'training' involved forcibly holding the dog with its rear end to the St Bernard and forcing it to tolerate having its butt sniffed by the St Bernard. The dog was clearly frightened and was giving off all the signals it had in its repertoire to convey this to the 'trainer' including - lip-licking, yawning, ears pulled back, stiff body posture, flattened ears, avoiding eye contact - but the 'trainer' seemed not to notice or to understand any of these signs. Perhaps this handy checklist will help them to spot these in future - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/88/9d/4f/889d4f7ce16e273ea2372f5cb121c1f8--signs-of-anxiety-dog-anxiety.jpg When the frightened dog growled he was 'corrected' with a forceful verbal non-reward-marker of "uhn uhn!" and was forced to have his butt sniffed again. The dog's owner and her young children stood some way off and watched this 'training' take place I'm not sure where to begin in explaining the many many things that are wrong with this scenario but let me attach some articles by scientists about the science of behavior and training to help illustrate my points. 1. This was in no way shape or form an exercise in socialization. For socialization to be effective and for the animal to actually learn something the experience has to be positive. This experience was definitely NOT positive for this dog! This article may help your trainer to understand how to do this better - https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/decoding-your-pet/201409/socialization-when-do-it-and-when-not-do-it 2. Dogs growl for a number of reasons. Growling is a form of communication between dogs and they understand what it means - https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/dog-spies/when-dogs-hear-a-growl-they-know-what-to-do/ Humans cannot hope to understand and translate all the complexities of a dog's growl and nor should we! We should most certainly not assume that a dog's growl is wrong or inappropriate and try to correct it. This dog was most likely communicating that it was afraid and that it did not want the other dog to approach or to sniff his butt. The other dog would have understood this but neither dog was given this choice. The dog should have been listened to not forced to interact against its will. If this event had taken place with human children it would have been seen as a criminal act of abuse and certainly not "positive training" as your website proclaims you support. 3. Correcting a dog for growling with the intent of making them stop growling is such a bad idea on so many levels! To begin with it will not suppress the emotion (in this case fear). The dog will still feel the same way about the scary stimulus. You cannot make a person deal with their fears but telling them to get over it and forcing them to face them any more than you can compel a dog to by forcing the thing that scares them into their face (or in this case butt!) and preventing them from vocalizing their discomfort. What you will however do if you persist in this approach is to remove the final warning that a dog has to convey how he is feeling before he is forced to lash out and bite! Given that the owner of this dog had young children I think the irresponsibility of this approach is obvious. This is why growling is actually a good thing - http://www.dogstardaily.com/blogs/why-growl-good 4. Finally, you should also know that verbal non-reward markers (the uh-uh sounds used by this 'trainer' to signal an incorrect behavior by the dog), are not considered good training practice in a positive training approach and, despite some people's view that this gives the dog more information, it has been soundly proven that, in fact, dogs learn much faster without them. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/201603/should-trainers-tell-dogs-when-their-behavior-is-wrong?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CanineCornerCS+%28Canine+Corner%29 read more
