First and last time at this location. If you offer a 4:50 PM appointment and close at 5:00 PM, customers should be able to use that appointment time without being expected to arrive early. I completely understand not taking someone who is 10+ minutes late, but that was not the case. They had already started closing before 5 and made it seem like taking another dog for a scheduled appointment was an inconvenience, with no consideration for the time it took to get there. I've never had this issue at their other locations, but I definitely won't be returning to this one. read more

I had a appointment just for sanitary shave. Waiting 2 weeks my dog gets groom by a groomer just just wanted that. The groomer came out and said she would have to do a full groomer on her. She was bs because she just wanted to charge more then the 14 $ Trying to be me. My pup is groomed. I just figured to just keep up in her sanitary more so I dont have to keep going for a full groom. Everything. Such as a attitude from the groomer. Disgusting attitude toll her eyes thru the windows before she even came out. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

We always have a wonderful experience here and continue to come back! My dog always gets so excited to see Deb, she is always SO friendly and that is one of the reasons why we also enjoy going there!

Everything is extremely easy to find in the store, the store is also always clean! read more

Huge thanks to Petco in Wantagh, especially Jake, for giving such great advice concerning my aging Maltipoos diet and health. Jake helped me find the right food I needed, listened to my concerns with care, and gave advice on next steps. So thanks again for the assistance and help provided. read more

I brought my dog to see if he can get a haircut or groomed and the lady there she said you have to make an appointment. And I ask how much is it for my dog to just get groomed we already gave him a bath. she said no it comes all together with a bath and a grooming is supposedly $80 to do the whole thing she was overworking and weird. read more

I go into petco in Wantagh to buy my dogs their food. Everyone is very helpful and nice. They always have what I need and I can bring my dogs in with me, which is a treat for them. Prices are good and the selection is excellent. read more

Petco in Wantagh Just had the most horrible experience at Petco grooming, so much so that I would NOT drop my dog off with this very rude man. If he treated me that way, how could I trust that he would treat my dog with kindness. Do not want this man around my dogs. read more

This is my local Petco and they are always so helpful. The reason I'm writing this review is their response to the current pandemic! I wish more businesses were this proactive. Some things I noticed: - Greeter: counting the number of people in the store, directing customers to what they need, and of course greeting! - Everyone wearing gloves. Some employees wearing masks. Glad that they are offered that choice. My One call out here would be to remind the cashier that she shouldn't touch her face... even with gloves on. - limiting the number of customers when they have reached the threshold. - cones 6 feet apart for checkout. Thank you for making your employees and customers safety a priority while staying open! It's appreciated! read more

Fabulous customer service at the grooming department. It was SO easy to get an appointment for my new pups nail trimming. Lisa, the groomer, went above and beyond her job to offer us suggestions for how often we should groom, get her nails trim and other products that would be beneficial to our pup. I love that the store is pet friendly with even a station if they have accidents. Very modern design. A beyond pleasant experience! read more

We went in on July 30 around 12 noon to purchase some goldfish . There was a wait which we understood but young woman who came to help us in the aquatic section was very rude. We wanted to purchase one or two goldfish and she said she could not sell them to us as she was not allowed to even though we told her we already had goldfish. It seemed like she had an answer for everything and was just adamant about us not being allowed to purchase goldfish. We even asked what other kind of fish we could purchase and she said she could not tell us any other fish. I guess she didn't feel like working that day. Will never come back here. Rude and Lazy. read more

Very nice new store. Easy to find parking. I like the fact that this Petco is much smaller then most as it's easier to get in and out quickly and they seemed to have all the things you'd expect to find at a larger location. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Not my favorite pet store because the prices are very high and service is scarce. It happened to be near my puppies doctor and I needed some food so I went. They do however have a pretty nice selection but you are going to pay top dollar. read more

My cat has been sick lately and has been refusing most of his food. With the pandemic going on I can't just buy cat food and then return what he won't eat so I went to the store to try to find something the poor guy will eat. I walked in and was greeted by two young boys standing shoulder to shoulder, not 6 feet apart, who informed me that I could not actually enter the store. I had to tell them what I wanted and they would get it for me. I had no idea what I needed because I needed to actually look and see what I've tried already and what I hadn't, so I had to leave the store with nothing. I knew the store had curbside pick up and had tried to use that option before I actually went to the store. But the website kept defaulting to a different store, even after I tried a different browser, cleared my history and tried it on my phone. So I had to actually go to the store, only to find out I still couldn't look at anything. I applaud companies taking measures to keep people safe. But this was ridiculous, especially because these two boys were standing right next to each other. Customers are more at risk from them (if they aren't worried about social distancing with coworkers then they aren't worried about it in their personal lives) then they are picking up their own items (I had glovesand a mask). I will never shop at any Petco again. read more

Came here even though it was a little further from my house because another reviewer raved about the customer service coupons/savings and cleanliness of the store, as I pulled up there's plenty of parking, when I walked in i noticed the store was super organized & clean!I was greeted by employee Emilio who guided & helped me every step of the way! He assisted me while I got my engraved dog tag, handed me a nice size coupon book because I recently adopted from Last Hope Animal Rescue across the street,gave me a rewards card and assisted me in shopping for my first adopted pooch in almost 20 yrs! his recommendations were awesome,from the right size leash,to the dog bed and bones & snacks for my new bff!Lol,i saved quite a few bucks and ill def be back real soon im sure!plus "Rocky" really seemed to like it here!..Petco..its where the Pets go!lol:) read more

Petco - Love how convenient and inexpensive it is to make a beautiful dog tag! - Pet Training Near Me - Wantagh, New York

If I could give this place a 0 I would. My family has been taken my two dogs to this petco to get groomed for awhile now, two weeks ago we had taken my Pomeranian to get groomed like usual and we took him home, from the day we brought him home to about three days after that I was noticed HORRIBLE cuts all over him, not little cuts, HUGE CUTS!!! We had another appointment today for my cockapoo (with a different person at the groomer) , we we went to pick her up, my mother went up to the woman Lisa (who we believe cut my Pomeranians hair that day) and explained to her the situation and showed her the pictures I had taken, she said with a rude attitude "well he didn't leave the here that way" I was infuriated the fact that this lady didn't even care that my dog left the groomers with CUTS and gives us an attitude for calling her out? My mom politely said "well we will no longer be making appointments here anymore" and she gave her a nasty look. I will be leaving picture of the cuts. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS HERE TO GET GROOMED ESPECIALLY BY LISA!!! read more

Love them here especially the dog trainers and the groomers. Sweet and know their stuff. I also like you can See them being groomed

This location is smaller than others but the customer service at this location is superb!! Everyone is so friendly & accommodating that I was highly impressed. There was even a representative there today from Blue Buffalo who helped my friend & I since we were looking for very specific grain free, gluten free, everything free, not made in China food for her white put bull who is sensitive to everything & really requires a good quality wet food since now her dry food is prescription food. It's amazing how expensive things are for animals...just like us humans I guess, but our animals are a part of the family so we pay the price willingly. I would definitely come back to this location again. read more

Let me start this review by saying I am not a fan of the Petco chain. I find them to be unethical and uneducated on the exotic species that they sell (to just about anyone with a credit card). But I LOVE this Petco so far. The staff *Gasp* actually knows what they are doing, and are compassionate about animals. If you read the negative reviews, it proves that point further. Pros: Their large crickets are actually large, unlike Petsmart. They feed their reptiles species specific food. Their staff is always walking around and sociable. The place isn't huge, but uses their space well and is immaculate with a nice selection. Best prices around. I only shop at pet stores that actually have some pets for adoption and not just for sale, but they also even have a food donation box. Cons: I think they offer training classes or something? Sometimes when I am there, large groups of people and dogs are walking around with a staff member. I'm not sure if they already have an area for training or not, but with this store being filled to the brim with merchandise this can make it kind of tough to get around. But really, no big deal. They also sell Iguanas, not cool. Anyway, Love this place. Petco should use this store as an example. read more

The only complaint I have here is pricing. Than again what isn't expensive now a days. I come here for practically all my yorkie a needs. From grooming to bedding to toys to food. I make sure I don't leave anything out. She loves this place. Grooming takes a while, so make sure you plan ahead and clear out 1/2 the day! And the staff is great! They always are smiling and actually willing to help with anything you need or are looking for! read more

Overpriced. Better off buying pet supplies from Chewy. A huge disappointment every time I've been there. Brought my puppy for a puppy play date time. No other puppies there. Tried to sell be overpriced puppy training. Went today to take pictures with the Easter bunny. No Easter bunny no nothing. Listed on Facebook as an event. Website said they had it there as well. Never going back! read more

I bring my three dogs to Petco to get groomed. They are all wonderful in the grooming department. The last time i went in to Petco Grooming I found out that one of the main groomers Victoria no longer works there. I was wondering if anyone knows where she went. One of my dogs loves Victoria, he won't let anyone else near him. So now I only bring two of my dogs and have to groom my australian shepherd at home myself. If anyone knows where Victoria went , can you please let me know. read more

The staff here is wonderful. They are always so friendly and helpful. I decided to give the groomer a try since they all seemed so caring towards the dogs that came in. Our appointment was with Tom and he was terrific. So gentle and calming to our crazy hyper girl. My husband didn't want her waiting in a crate while other dogs got groomed and they assured us she was next and we would be called as soon as she was finished. They were true to their word. We went to run some errands and before we knew it they were calling us to come get her. She was looking and smelling fresh, all trimmed up and happy. Nails clipped and ears cleaned. We, and she are happy customers. read more

Love this pet i. Always stocked and have a great selection of fish. Great staff that are always eager to help

Took our Henry for grooming Our groomer Tom and staff were a pleasure Henry is happy & clean thank you Petco Wantagh

I buy fish from this location all the time and every time I buy fish either the same night or the next morning all the fish are dead that's because many of times I went in there to purchase fish and there were tons of ripped up dead fish on the bottom of the tank I told employees many times and they just brush it off like they don't care so they sell sick fish the only helpful person that works at this location is a lady named Deb Very helpful and generally loves her job and there's also a guy that works in the aquarium section with a man bun very helpful guy and respectful and that guy Jake that works in the fish department has no clue about fish don't go to this location shelves are always empty and they never have stuff in the store read more

Our guinea pig had respiratory issues, lady after one day stated it's ok to take him home, a few days later I bring the baby back and told them it had it again, they took it, called me back 3 days later they had to put down the pig. They keep getting shipments from I don't know where, the guinea pigs have respiratory issues and their suppliers need to be looked into, just horrible. :( read more

Bunch of idiots at their vet. I took my 15 yr old dog there for a rabies shot as I do every 3 years. They looked her up in their computer and found when I was there 3yrs ago but the dope behind the counter said that my dog should be 3 yrs old now and not 15. I laughed and said your records are obviously incorrect and wouldn't it mean then she was just born when she got her last shot? It took the manager to come over to understand what I said --and I was told it would be fixed in the system. I paid, got my dog the shot and we got the new shiny tag that goes on the her collar. Two weeks later I brought my dog back for a simple nail clipping. While standing at the counter they demanded to see proof of a rabies shot. I said she was here two weeks ago. They couldn't find it in there records. I said then look at the tag you gave me that's on her collar - It has the registered number and date. It didn't matter, I had to leave to go and find the stupid receipt because their system is as useless as the people that work there. Wow has this place gone downhill. I won't be bringing any pets back here again. read more

I would NOT get your dog groomed here! I was getting my dog groomed since he was 12 weeks old. He was also trained at This Petco location (WANTAGH) My dog is now almost 5 years old, and have used them for his whole puppy life! I have been calling them for three months now trying to get an appointment for him to get a bath and each time I call they tell me there are no appointments for two months! To make a long story short, I ask to speak to the manager, who then proceeds to tell me that their groomer that took care of my baby boy left and this new groomer doesn't feel comfortable taking care of my dog because he's a Doberman. I couldn't believe my ears!!!!! I then Asked her why and the manager (Deb) said nothing ever happened but their new groomer just doesn't feel comfortable taking care of him!!! Well my answer to that is if it's your job, you can't pick and choose what dogs you want to take care of, that's discrimination!!!! My dog is the sweetest dog you will ever meet!!! Get a new career! This ones not for you! Does a doctor get to chose which patients he sees???? I have tried reaching out to customer service as well and they have not returned my calls!! Disappointed Horrified!!!!! read more

5 stars for Melissa the dog trainer. She is amazing and really takes the time to befriend each dog and teach them the commands. Not sure if melissa is still there as I took the training class around a year ago. Moved and got a new puppy went to the petsmart in babylon for training and it is horrible! So grateful for Melissa read more

Place is always clean, staff is always so friendly and willing to help. Great place to bring your dog and a better choice than petsmart!

I love this petco. The employees are awesome and super helpful. They know my dog and myself by name and always greet us with a smile! Prices are fair and they fully welcome my rescue pit bull unlike many other places. They also are associated with town of hempstead animal shelter which is where I adopted my pup from and when i told them that they gave me a huge booklet full of amazing coupons. I saved so much money with that for everything my dog needed. There is a young guy there who is sooo super helpful ( i cant remember his name) everything he has recommended for my dog has been a hit its never a waste of money. I appreciate all of their recommendations. I will always shop at this specific location although there are many closer to my home. read more

The prices are pretty on par and the staff is helpful and friendly. Always have the food I need (Blue Buffalo) and its usually on sale. The store is huge and the accessories that they sell are pretty good, I feel like they could be a little better for the price. read more

After getting home from my shopping trip I thought I'd left a few items behind at the store. I called and they were very nice, offered to replace the items no problem. I ended up finding the bag at that moment, so it worked itself out but nice to know how they handled it. Only negative is that it's a small store. read more

Thank you Tom for putting both Laila and I at ease. She looks absolutely adorable! You have a great way with humans and animals alike. Love the bandanna! We'll be back. read more

I take my little buddy Cincinnati Jack for his grooming because Rebecca the groomer is the absolute best! She consistently does an excellent job and is the reason we will not take him anyplace else unless of course Rebecca changes her work location. Great customer service combined with a great attitude and work performance makes the best reason to be happy when we get there and when we leave. read more

Holy cow! Let me start by saying that if I was told I have 1 day to live I would head down there with my bic razor and shave the staff the way they shaved my poor puppy! They butchered him and gave him a nasty rash under his chin! I also had the pleasure of dropping $100 plus for their training class.....holy hell!! What a disaster! Save your money and find another place. read more
