Testimonials
Got a 1-y-o pup from the shelter who is a barker. Petco had a special on the website. I was so excited to socialize him in a group setting… Class 1 was canceled. Then I was moved to 1-on-1, which was also canceled multiple times. I asked if other dogs would be there — he said no. This was going to be a warm up before real service dog training. Now I’m 4 weeks post-op, back to square one.

I was transferred on the phone to a manager named Ruben and had a terrible customer service experience. He interrupted me and said “let’s get straight to the point, do you need an appointment.” This was not hospitality.

Friendly staff, excellent selection at good prices but carts return could be better organized
