Catherine J.

I started shopping at Petco years ago when I learned Petsmart banned "pit bull type" dogs from their training programs. I have an APBT and a toy poodle. I'm not spending my money at a store that doesn't support my breed of dog. All has been well until today for the most part. Due to this COVID mess, everyone has been effected in many different ways, which I totally emphasize with. That is why the FIRST time the grooming Dept called me and said they had to rebook my toy poodle due to over booking, I was understanding. That was 3.5 weeks ago from the date of this post. I originally request an appointment in May, was scheduled for June, then that appointment was rebooked you today's situation. Today, I received a call from the grooming department and YET AGAIN, they need to reschedule my grooming appointment but this time it's because "Sarah" wasn't going to be able to come in. Did they offer to work him in sometime in the next week? No. Did they offer any type of solution other than offering to rebook another appointment for almost 3 weeks out? NO. My puppy, who is now 8 months old, needs a grooming badly. I have been bathing him and trimming the hair from his eyes and even shaved him once. I spend at least $200-$250 a month between food, grooming, treats and toys for my 3 animals. That's about $2400 a year. Which may not be much to some and isn't the point of my complaint, I only brought it up to point out that people choose Petco for a reason. My reason was customer service, convenience, and availability of products. After being forced to rescheduled twice, its no longer convenient and clearly the customer service is lacking. It would have been acceptable if the next reschedule dates weren't 3-4 weeks out. So if I chose to reschedule his appointment again, it would have been almost 10 weeks since my original request for grooming. How is that acceptable to Petco? I have a toy poodle puppy who needs to be exposed to grooming before he turns into a total nightmare when he finally does get groomed. Unfortunately I can't keep participating in these games Petco wants to play and being inconvenienced because they can't get people to show up for work or over book them.

There wasn't an acknowledgment of I'll be right with you or anything so I stood there 10 minutes and then walked out...... no thank you!! Terrible customer service..

Absolutely the WORST customer service imaginable. I read some negative reviews in the past that I…read morewas willing to overlook until I experienced firsthand. According to their policy it stated that they needed 24 hours to modify an appointment. Ok great noted. But when I rescheduled within 24 hours they said they were still going to charge my card for the fee. I could understand if 1) it was not within the window or had happened before (which it has not). For the staff to then decide it needed to be 2 days notice is the problem. No wonder they can't keep employees on staff, they never have the same ones whenever we go, They always quit. Not to mention our dog hates this place as well. Avoid if possible. Can't recommend. Update :Not only do I show up for my scheduled appointment but they REFUSED to see my dog when I rearranged my schedule to make the apt that they were "charging" me for. Absolutely do NOT go see this girl she is the worst with grooming and cut my dog last time my dog had her! The owner is negligent and refusing any acknowledgment of the is situation.

If there are staffing challenges or delays, it would be helpful to let customers know upfront and give them the option to reschedule or adjust their plans accordingly. I had a grooming appointment for my dog at 1:00 PM on 8/4. Normally, the service takes about 1.5 hours, so when I hadn't received a call by 3:00 PM, I stopped by Dirty Dog to check in. I was told they were short a groomer and it would be another 45 minutes. I returned home and received a call at 3:56 PM saying my dog would be ready in 10 minutes. However, when I arrived, my dog was still not ready. I spoke with the manager, who explained they were short-staffed due to a personal emergency. While I understand things happen, there was no apology or effort to acknowledge the inconvenience. Initially, she said she couldn't assist because she had to handle payroll, which added to the frustration. Eventually, she offered a 10% credit, which I appreciated, but the overall experience left me disappointed. With better communication and a little more empathy, this could've been a much more positive experience.

I believe…read morethat they are the best in Raleigh - family owned with reasonable prices and excellent service. They are also easy to find, centrally located in North Raleigh. It's important to know that they are frequently booked out 4-6 weeks. So when you make an appointment, allow some time to see them because they are very popular. And well worth the wait! I have two dogs (a Cavachon and an English Cocker Spaniel) which require frequent grooming. I am very particular about their grooming and they always look great! I also appreciate the fact that my pups love to go there which gives me great peace of mind. All About Pets is owned by Joyce who is dedicated to providing the best care for your dog. Joyce is highly experienced, detail oriented, very kind and truly cares about you and your dog. She keeps thorough and accurate records about each detail of your dog's grooming. Each grooming session is custom made just for your dog. The groomers are excellent, too - very thorough and experienced. They also provide detailed report cards summarizing each visit. They provide ear cleaning, expression of anal glands, nail grinding and de-matting during each visit. I like the fact that my dogs have the same groomer for each visit which maintains consistency. You can also drop off supplies there to support local dog shelters. I am very grateful to Joyce and her groomers for the wonderful care that they provide. Always a great experience for me and my dogs!

EarthWise Pet Supply & Grooming Wakeforest - Choppy face cutting

Well it went downhill from there. First red flag was a cancellation last minute - I get it we all get sick but same day was a little late. Then they were so rude when we did pick ups and drop offs. Because of this cancellation we had to go at three different times for each dog - no problem we don't live far but it was a rude welcoming from the owner each time. Then our last visit with our older golden retriever who I told specifically not to cut and was prone to ear infections so keep her head dry - they couldn't dry her head AND she was cut - not well and super choppy. Then they wanted to charge me for cutting her - "he has to pay his employee for the cut" even though he was told she was not to be cut. I'm upset with how the work was and how we were treated. So disappointed- usually don't write bad reviews but be warned and stay away. Plus spent a ton of money - they should have wanted to keep the customer.

Initially we had 2, and got 2 more from the breeder in Virginia for my mom when she was getting treated for Cancer because they comforted her. When she passed in 2020, we took them back because they are a lot for my Dad as he travels a lot. For the last 5 years we got them groomed at Top Notch Pet Spa. The price was pretty standard. Around $200-250 for all 4. When Top Notch changed management and the groomers went to different places we had to find alternative arrangements. We tried different groomers but ultimately tracked down the ladies that had been doing our poodles since 2018. Now, I spoke to the manager at Earthwise in Downtown Wake Forest. I told him we would give them a try but he couldn't get us on the schedule for a couple weeks. $288 ($72 each was the price we agreed upon. It was a bit higher than we had paid but we thought since it was one of the groomers that was familiar with our dogs (& we didn't have to drive all the way to Fuqua Varina) it would be ok. When I go to pick up the dogs he says the total will be $390! Talk about a bait and switch. The reason they gave us was the dogs had "extra matting (knotted hair)". But we didn't receive a heads up call, an ask to approve the extra cost - nothing. This was our first, and last time at this place. It's really disappointing too because after 5 years this is the most we have ever paid for grooming. The same dogs. Same groomers. Different pet salon. Warning to all Poodle/Dog owners out there. Not everyone wants your business or cares about customer service. Earthwise in Wake Forest did us dirty!
