I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but I’m extremely disappointed with PETCO grooming services. I consistently pay for the deluxe package for my large, long-haired dog, yet she’s only being groomed for about one hour. Anyone with a big dog knows that proper washing, drying, and grooming takes much longer than that. This has now happened three times. As a long-time customer, I expected better care and consideration. Unfortunately, I can no longer trust their service and the people who work there.

All I needed were crickets! There was no way to call for someone to get them, the checkout counter didn’t know how to tell them or communicate with me how I can get them! Disappointed

We have 3 dogs and they have provided excellent and friendly care for all 3. Even though we are in a pandemic they have been wonderful. We will continue to use them.
