This location is clean, and well stocked. Cashier was friendly. I still think these chains are a rip off considering that I got a better scoop for the cat litter box at target for about 6 bucks less. read more

Our kitten is on an organic, holistic diet and while we don't purchase her dry food or litter from Petco (only sold at Tailwaggers and Pet Food Express) we do purchase her Blue Wilderness wet food and treats here. We like their Leaps and Bounds line for play toys and found a beautiful embossed rose ceramic feeding dish, that dare I say it - gives the Oscar de le Renta designer pet dishes a run for their money - literally because this one cost four bucks! and it's the perfect size for small furry friends. This location is walking distance from home which makes it convenient to stop in on our evening strolls and open until 9P. Their parking lot is located behind the building which is where their entrance can be found. Service has always been fine but we are still waiting to be added to their Petco Pal Rewards program and it's been MONTHS. Their system is beyond archaic and is in desperate need of being revamped. read more

Mixed review from me on this Petco! It's one ofthe smallest Petco locations I've ever seen. The parking totally stinks. They don't have Dog grooming services at this location. The prices are higher here than anywhere else I've shopped at. With that said -- GREAT SERVICE. Register line to pay for all the goods go speedy quick -- and this bumps it up! Store is also kept very clean, and the inventory is well-stocked. read more

Natalie, the pet groomer, goes above and beyond to give your pet the best experience possible. Very knowledgeable and competent. She is patient w dogs who have social anxiety. Natalie is super friendly to all customers and animals, regardless. 5 stars! read more

Great for pet supplies but don't buy animals there. I was going to get an oranda goldfish but the one I wanted had a hookworm. I was going to swap it out but I figured that I shouldn't bring any of the fish in the tank home. This made me wonder if they quarantine their animals. read more

I've Been bringing my dog here for over a year to wash and groom him. They are always so nice and friendly and so gentle with him as he is a very shy and timid pug. I love the service they offer by painting their nails, very cute. Highly recommend this particular Petco in Studio City for your dog especially if he or she is as shy as mine read more

This is the only Petco I have been to with awesome customer service. They always have what I need for the most part and even have fun little food sample packs at the checkout. One special reason why I really like this location as well is because one of the employees helped me find some little cute dog toys for my family dog's grave. He could tell I was really upset and was so helpful and comforting. The layout of this location makes everything easy to find too! It's pretty cool when I ask my dogs if they want to go to Petco and they get excited! For that reason alone, they get 4 stars for making my pups happy. The only downside to this location, like most places in LA, is the parking. The lot is tiny and the spaces are even smaller. You may be better off finding street parking in the neighborhood behind it. Other than that, it's a great location! I hope this review helps you decide on where to make a quick trip for pet food and treats for your babies! :) read more

do...do they know how to cut pomeranian fur? we specifically asked for half an inch. they almost shaved him down to his skin. his fur isn't growing back properly anymore after a few months. so so so incompetent and infuriating. please learn how to cut dog fur properly or at least do some research so you don't screw up other people's dogs. pomeranians specifically have double coats and if you cut past a certain point there's a chance it doesn't grow back properly which is what's happening to my dog right now. read more

Be careful, don't let Damian groom your dogs! I had an extremely poor experience! He lectured me because my golden doodle had a lot of tangled hair and was very matted. This is true, we've been traveling a lot during the summer and did put off grooming our dogs. To start he didn't even want to take my dog, saying that she was too tangled and her skin was irritated. I was confused because if the groomer couldn't do this job, who would? When I mentioned this seemed unreasonable because that's the groomers job he was bothered and lectured me about caring poorly for my dog... the called the manager to see if he could approve grooming my dog. When I picked up my dogs, I could not even recognize her, he had taken his frustrations on her, totally unfair, he shaved EVERYTHING unnecessarily! His pet advocate attitude went overboard. I honestly believe that he was trying to punish me for being a bad pet owner but took his anger out on the poor puppy. The dog did have bad tangles all over her bottom section and her legs, but her face definitely had enough hair to work with. It's outrageous that this person who gave me a hard time about my pet owner responsibilities, takes it on his own to shave her COMPLETELY as a punishment to me or something. This is inappropriate behavior and he should just do his job and stop trying to be some kind of crusader. Please look at these before and after photos of my dog and some of the whole pack. read more

We love Damien in grooming!! He's the best ever and our dog is super scared and picky and he loves Damien too.

I get my dogs groomed here...that's when I am not taking one to Unleashed and doing it myself! Great prices, healthy Blue Buffalo and grain free treats....No frills, like the KMart of pet food stores, but better lit! My go to store....except for the main food, then I go to Pets Restaurant on Van Nuys, south of Venturs Blvd. My dogs are incredibly healthy, much healthier on Now, a grain free brand Mark, the owner of Pets Restaurant suggested. But I diigress....Petco is great....buy Blue Buffalo! read more

Terrible salon and bad customer service, especially Jr. who definitely should not be a manager. We want the best for our dogs and this is surely not the place. Too many places around to not be good to our pets and be treated rudely. You just lost a good customer. read more

If I could leave no stars I would. I used to enjoy coming to Petco but the staff and general manager on duty are very unprofessional to say the least. I had a grooming appointment for my dog before the holidays. Dani in the grooming department cancelled my appointment due to their staff calling out of work. I called in to see why they cancelled without my permission or rescheduling. Dani was very rude, unpolegtetic and had a very bad attitude as if this was my fault. I let him know I didn't like his attitude and not to talk to me this way , he then said that I can find another appointment elsewhere and that he was not going to help me and hung up. Mind you I asked to speak to their general manager, I had to call back several times before I actually spoke to their general manager. Once I spoke to the general manager he gave me a generic excuse and didn't address the manner in which Dani talked to me, a paying customer. He advised that he would call me back to try to accommodate me with a appointment on Monday. I never got a call back which isn't surprising. Never going back to this store or Petco. They need to learn customer service and not to talk down to people. Very disappointed, stay clear of this store and save your money. read more

Eric was very rude. I bought two cat litter refills which was advertised at $9.99 in store. After being rung up, I realized I was charged $10.99 for both refills. I went back to the sign of the price and took a picture. I got back in line and waited to speak with him again to inform him about the incorrect price I was charged. I showed him the picture and he left to go check the price. He came back to inform me that I was wrong about the price and that the sign is old. I said okay and got out of line. I went online to see that the price was in fact $9.99. I got back in line and informed him about the online price when he finally honored it. He was very rude and had an attitude the whole time. I should not have to get in line 3 times to get the price that I was suppose to be charged the first time. i received no apology, just a rude attitude the whole time. I don't expect that type of customer service at a place I go to every week spending hundreds of dollars. very disappointed. read more

god aweful, unappreciative customer service for people who spend thousands of dollars on their pets there. really? you can't make an exception when I don't have the receipt on me and just want to exchange the useless glucosamine Gummi bears that no dog likes? tho it clearly says Petco on the box, you just had to scan it? really? number one: please sell stuff that is actually good for animals, number two: if you get caught selling garbage at least have the decency to take it back without making a fuss, number three: please understand that your only way to survive as a store is to show some decency and heart and warmth and leniency. Because very soon you too shall be disappearing into the online abyss! Promise you! Especially with that attitude. So, folks, as long as there are pet stores, do yourselves a favor and go to Pet Supreme. They are sweet and they care and they even have an awesome affordable vet right behind the store. Now that's good customer service right there. Good bye Petco, never coming back! read more

This is mainly for their puppy training. Don't choose the trainer with gaps in their schedule. While I knew that upfront, after my 3rd/4th session my trainer told us that she was going to a different store. While it's great she had a promotion, but this was so abrupt and it left my last two training sessions a mess. We got a new trainer, who was a nice gal. But just overall inconsistent training over the course of 2 months. I started training on June 5th Saturday, and my last class was supposed to be July 17th, guess what?! My last training day hasn't happened and it's been 3 weeks. I showed up that Saturday, and no one bothered to call me that class had been cancelled. I then get a text the following Friday that class was going to be cancelled again and they thought I was informed. I'm not even going to bother going to the final class because it's been almost a month since my last class. What a waste of money. I am so angry at the way this has been handled. Clearly a lot of mismanagement at this store. And guess what, my puppy's issues weren't really addressed. We came in for Puppy level 1, he is now 6 mos and is incredibly reactive to other dogs. Never really helped address his socialization / reactive issues. I'm going elsewhere for dog training. Don't do it here. read more

I have been going to this Petco for years and I only go to JR. He is the best in town hands down. He makes me feel like he really cares about my dog. When I walk in to the store he greets me and my dog by name, and makes sure to go over all the services he will do that groom session. read more

Love, love, love this Petco and more specifically the grooming staff!! I always bring in my pup and won't go anywhere else. Ashley always works on him and does a phenomenal job. I can tell my dog enjoys his time in the salon. When he comes out he always looks and feels his best. Ashley goes over what she did for him that day in person and gives me a "report card" for his visit I love that!!! I highly recommend bringing your doggies in to see the grooming staff anyone you choose will do the best job and keep your doggie happy and healthy in the process. I really can't say enough good things about the grooming department at this store!!! read more

Colby, the manager at Studio City, had to clean up the mess that North Hollywood did to me. Let me explain. I went in to buy a minnow. The guy in North Hollywood talked me into to mosquito fish which by the way are minnows. He said they weren't. He said they would get along. The size difference made that impossible. Then one of the fish was pregnant so now I had another problem when she would give birth I would have 60 fish. North Hollywood didn't want to deal with me and told me to go to Studio City. Here is where Colby comes in. I explained the problem. He said he would take the fish back or take the babies or both since I had a male and female the problem would repeat itself. I had to bring those two poor fish back. It broke my heart but I had to He said they would be adopted out to good homes because people like mosquito fish. Still when I buy a fish and put it in my tank I do it because I want to keep them not take them back and forth. He offered me a refund. The fish cost less than a dollar so instead he gave me a can of fish food for my inconvenience. Colby is a good manager but he shouldn't have to clean up the mess of another story. Hey Petco, hope you are listening. read more

We've been taking our super anxious pup here to get groomed and JR is amazing! He's always super gentle with our dog and makes sure that Indy is well taken care of; even if it takes a little extra time. I couldn't imagine taking my dog anywhere else! read more

This is the best pet salon hands-down. The staff is friendly and totally professional, and seem to go out of their way for every customer's pet. They give my dog Oreo so much attention and really handle him like he was their own pet. From the time I drop him off to when I pick him up, I can tell he has been well-card for, not to mention impeccably groomed. Oreo usually gets a bath and they also brush his teeth and clip his nails. This Petco has a great team in their grooming salon (JR, Devin and Ashley, especially!). read more

Used to go to this store all the time until I saw a dog take a pee on some low self cat food cans.... so I guess that happens when you let animals into your store, but the fact that the employee just wiped them off with some windex, didn't move any cans just the fronts, and walked away is what gets me. Like that cannot be clean, and most certainly isn't something I want to buy. To top that off it's one of my cats favorite foods and I'm wondering how many dog pee covered cans I've brought into my home over the years... sorry petco I'll be ordering all my food online from now on. If you do go to this store purchase from higher shelves. read more

I don't know how to express my gratitude towards Mayra and everyone else at Petco Grooming. Our little Louie is a rescue dog and has severe anxiety. I bring him to Mayra and he's treated like a prince. They are so gentle and patient with him and he always look so happy when he's there and not to mention handsome. I mean take a look at this picture. Once again... thank you thank you thank you Petco! read more

Wow, I'm really sad that I have to leave this review. My dog, Jenny has been a loyal grooming client for years.Not anymore. I'm saddened by the lack of kindness and the incredibly rude attitude of the grooming manager, J.R. I would implore you all to please look elsewhere for grooming. Especially if you own a senior dog. They take special care and extra loving and understanding. Some take medication, some get nervous when you take them to get groomed. What we were met with today was awful, awful customer service and a general lack of kindness that blew me away. read more

Helping to find animals good homes is a noble cause, confining them in small cages is horrific and cruel. The kittens have NO toys and are in cages slightly larger than a shoe box. Animals are not shiny objects for sale on store shelves and they deserve to be treated with some respect. Put them in bigger cages and give them something to do with their energy and curiosity. Every cat/kitten in there was asleep. What else could they do? How would you like to be confined in a cage all day? I will no longer give one penny to Petco. My money goes to HealthySpot, Rusty's Discount Pet Center or Kriser's Natural Pet. read more

When Fluffy Raccoontail and Bitchy VonScaredycat need their feline replenishment, this Petco is my stop. They carry a wide selection of fine cat foods including the fancy, natural kind with which FRT and BvS are spoiled (no Friskies for the Prince and Bitchy Princess). For those dog loving Angelenos, of which there are many, don't worry, Petco can take care of your little pooch's needs. They even have obedience classes. The dog selection eclipses the cat selection, which is not surprising in this catist society. You can also bring your dog into the store. It makes for an adorable trip when you're standing in the checkout line with a cute, mini-dog sniffing your basket. It's less adorable when a ginormous, bear-sized dog whom is much, much, much larger than you, stares you down with a certain look in it's eyes ("better run bitch!"). If you're not shopping for the two most popular pets in the country, maybe you have a small animal like a rabbit or a hamster - worry yourself not, Petco has food, treats and toys for your furry friend. If you own a more exotic animal, they've got something for you too. I was once fascinated and disgusted by a bag of crickets at the checkout counter. Thank goodness for me they were in a bag. Not so good for the crickets, those suckers were some animal's dinner. It's not the largest Petco I've been to, but it's adequate. The parking lot is a mess though. It's way too small - almost as if it were designed specifically for Mini Cooper and Smart Car drivers. I cannot tell you how many times I've shaken a fist (within the safety of my car) at a Hummer taking up 3 valuable parking spots. If you're not already signed up, get a PALs card. You'll get to take advantage of weekly specials and occasionally they'll send you coupons in the mail. read more

This is going to be my go to place for fish and cat supplies from now on. Got some new fish from Petsmart and all of my fishes died within a week. Matt helped me out to reset my tank and hopefully my new fish will thrive! Unlike in other pet store, people at this one seem to know what they are talking about. read more

Stephanie the manager was SO helpful. We just rescued two sick and underweight dogs and she really took the time to help us select a food that was high in calories. It's nice to be in a big chain store but feel like I'm getting the quality of help of a small boutique store. It was my first time here and I will return. read more

Terrible service and overpriced. Returns aren't accepted even if your rewards account shows the purchase. No point in keeping track of my purchases! read more

Had a terrible grooming experience with Petco in Studio City with Damian!! My toy poodle came home with a gash in her little itty bitty thigh that was still bleeding when we got home. My other dog had razor burn on both sides of his neck! Looks like the clippers went extremely close to the skin! Leaving him itchy and pimply not to mention both my babies are still in pain and discomfort! It's been three days after this traumatic incident. They are still in pain, don't want to walk, poop and they're both shaking!! Took them to the vet that Petco referred us to and they weren't any help! Didn't write down the exact wound! Not sure what thats about but definitely A RED flag! Petco did refund us the money but that is not nearly enough for what they put us all through just arriving back in LA! I did go back to get our refund and the dumb groomer didn't bother to apologize, didn't want to see the pix (proof) of what he did. I know accidents happen but you need to recognize the problem especially if you want to be better at your job! Especially when you're dealing with these innocent lil fur babies that can't speak up! He said "maybe they did it to each other" ya they play clippers! Stupid! I'm pissed! Anyways, I would NEVER go back! read more

OMG. The checkout clerk must have been stoned. He was standing there wasting time chatting with his buddy while there was a line, he dropped my 60 lb. bag of dog food. Yeah and it only tore the first layer thankfully. When the bill came up he "accidentally" rang me up twice. Duh I would notice--its 60 lbs of dog food!!! ($40 each). He then asked if I wanted a bag for a dog toy, I said yes and he put in in the bag...i reached out for the bag...he checked his watch...and then decided to hand it over. WTF? Wake up bag boy, or get a less people friendly job. Two stars for food being in stock. Thats it. read more

I went in today to exchange a case of cat food that I got with my Repeat Delivery for a different kind. We're dealing with a cat with IBD and I needed something with less ingredients and another type of protein. I went and got the case of food I wanted and took it to Roger at the register and that's when the fun began. I thought the packing slip had enough information for the refund but poor Roger had to do some researching before he found what we needed. He was very pleasant and professional and got the transaction done as quickly as possible - one of the best experiences I've ever had at Petco! He's a great representative of the company and an excellent Customer Service dude. Thanks, Roger! read more

I'm pretty sure the sign outside read Petco & Fish on it, but where are the fish?! I went there just to get fish supplies and they had one tiny little section for it. When I asked an employee he said they weren't much of a fish store, they're more for cats and dogs. I suggest taking that fish sign off then! I went down the street to a fish supply store and the guy there told me that Petco had problems keeping fish alive so that's why they don't have them anymore. Boo! read more

This store is the worst petco. I have tried to buy my cats wellness foods here many many times and they are always out of it. I told the manager every time I have gone and she said she would order more and call me. Never received a call. The staff are useless. I called to ask if they have a single carpet covered scratch post about 3 feet high and the guy said they do and he would put it up front. When I got there he had a three tiered at least 6 foot tall jungle gym on hold for me? I looked for what I wanted and they only carry 1 foot high single scratch post- I guess for a kitten? I generously gave the store 2 stars because the parking is good and they made the store nicer with much needed renovations. The store used to smell and was very dirty. I won't try and go there again to buy food or cat posts. It is a waste of my time every time. read more

If I'd written this review a year ago I would have given this Petco 2 stars. It had a poor lay out, long lines, and it just looked OLD. On top of that the parking SUCKS. Well, I stepped foot in there for the first time in probably a year yesterday and I have to say somethings have changed...and some haven't. Things that have changed: The store is completely redone. It looks NEW and looks like a Petco. I didn't venture into the deep dark corners of the store as everything I needed was up front. Check out counters are new, the lay out is nice. Things that haven't: PARKING SUCKS. Yes, I know you can go underneath, but sometimes I STILL can't find parking here. If you REALLY want to go in you can park at Ralph's and sneak over, but still. There are better Petcos and pet stores nearby that you can go to. Other things of note: I had a little bit of trouble finding help, but once I did it was easy. The girl at the check out needed someone to grab something for me and it took forever for them to get it to the front. It would have been easier for me to go grab it and I honestly probably should have. Bottom line: Go to Rusty's down the street. Better parking. read more

I have no idea why this Petco has such bad reviews! I try to avoid the one on Sepulveda at all costs and have been coming to this Studio City location for years now. They've even revamped the place to look even better than before, less run down and stark like some of the other Petcos still are. I've NEVER had an experience with an unhelpful or unkind employee. They've always helped me find exactly what I need, are courteous, and friendly. That's my opinion and I've probably gone once every two or three weeks for the past two years. The parking lot does suck when it's busy but you don't go there for the parking, do I'm still confused as to the poor ratings guys! read more

Not a well rounded location for pet supplies AT ALL!!! Extremely limited unless you have a dog, cat or fish! read more
