This review is about the grooming department. I have been bringing my Maltese to this Petco grooming location to get haircut for years now. Over the years my dog did get mixed quality haircuts,  but this time has to be the worst trim ever.  Looks sloppy, choppy, lumpy like they just don't care.  With tip costing over $60, this is what I get?  I can do better than that at home.  I will have to think twice to bring my dog back again.

A few years ago Kaitlyn (grooming manager) abruptly resigned from Shoreline Petco as did all the other groomers. She taught groomers how to do a springer cut for years using my dog Stanley. After she left, Stanley was assigned to a new young male groomer who appeared very anxious and inexperienced. Since I had never had a problem with Shoreline Petco I left Stanley there. With the inexperienced new male groomer Stanley became very anxious and tried to jump off the table. I took him to the Lynnwood Petco after that without problems. However the young male groomer wrote a note blaming Stanley for his own incompetence and for scaring my dog. Later all Petcos banned Stanley from grooming and cancelled my appointment with less than 24 hours notice. They said he was elderly and unmanageable. Stanley is 8 y/o and is not elderly and certainly not unmanageable. Liz at Shoreline Petco was exceptionally rude when she called me to tell me Stanley was banned from all Petco groomers and stated anyone who groomed him would lose their job. I am having Stanley groomed at Hippie Hounds who have comparable prices and do much better work. I will never shop or groom at any Petco ever again. They are very dishonest and won't accept responsibility for problems that they themselves create with animals in their care. Stay away from Petco. This photo was taken after Stanley's last grooming at Olive My Grooming in Ballard. Of course his groomer reported how delightful Stanley was. They were a bit more expensive but awesome groomers which is why I am following up at Hippie Hounds who are also very good. Forget Petco unless you want your fur baby to experience the same bad treatment Stanley and I have put through by them!!

The place is empty and they are not willing to help you. Zero stars for the grooming department

EDIT: I removed names from this review, as I discovered we were given the wrong names by another…read moreemployee. The gentleman had on a newsboy cap and the woman had reddish hair (forgive me for not having better details, I was so sad. But the sentiment remains the same.) There are businesses you visit, and then there are places that become part of your family's story. All The Best falls firmly into the latter category. Since moving to Ballard, our dog was a regular visitor. He'd shamelessly help himself to treats from the bins, tail wagging with pure delight at his "successful" heist-- the cashiers were always so gracious. And on top of that, the store regularly hosts wonderful community events (like the wading pool they set up during farmers market days.) But it was on our dog's final day that the staff last Wednesday morning truly showed us the greatest kindness. We brought him in one last time, and they let him steal treats to his heart's content. Without being asked, they prepared a goodie bag filled with food and treats he might enjoy, and they gave me forget-me-not seeds. In a moment when I was completely broken, they showed such genuine compassion and understanding. Those treats kept Teddy calm and happy in his last moments, and I will never forget the incredible kindness of their gesture. If you're looking for a pet store where your furry family members will be truly welcomed and cherished, where the staff genuinely cares about your pet's happiness, and where you'll be treated like family, this is your place. Thank you to the team for being such beautiful souls. You've made me a customer for life.

My dog ate a pig ear from here... this is one of many that she has had in the past but my first one…read morefrom this particular shop. My dog has been dealing with constipation and yellow liquid poop for 4 days for what can pass through. I am considering taking her to the vet today. They really should talk to the vendor they are receiving these from as they are obviously selling pig ears with a lot of fat or grease that is causing constipation.

Sunny went in for his first groom ever and he came home looking handsome as ever! Thank you Sky for…read moretaking excellent care of my baby :)))

Staff was nice and maybe i'll give this place another shot, one day. I left my baby looking well…read morerounded and fluffy like in these pictures and the short clip of her in the bathroom. When I got her back from grooming, she was looking like this (video in car). Very little hair on her body, I felt sad for her and almost cried. Her head has a fro and her tail is basically gone and naked. When I came in to get her, I was initially shocked and didn't know what to say. I thought I liked it until I took another good look at her. She didn't even come out smelling good and i'm wondering if her ears were cleaned. This is her second experience getting groomed. The first time was out of state, where I got her and when I was planning on flying back to Seattle, I had a groomer that did a tidy up puppy cut (the photos where they gave her bows in her ears afterwards). She smelled so good after, her curls were still there and her tail had a lot of hair. At the front desk, I asked if there were notes and there were none. I was hoping for an explanation on why she came out looking kind of naked. When I asked for a puppy cut, I didn't think the hair would be cut down this much. The haircut also looks choppy, especially the head part. It isn't even like what I thought a puppy cut would look like. I appreciate the groomer for being patient with this puppy though and took their time on my girl. Hair will grow back. I showed all my friends the video of her in the car and they had the same thoughts I did. I almost cried (lol). Anyway, hair will grow back. I just wanted to leave this review and maybe I should have done more extensive research on groomers. I was nervous to schedule an appointment at all due to it being her second time (first time in WA).
