I bought a betta fish 2 days ago you guys should know better and told me that betta fish get trap on fake plant and die. Went to a different petco trying buy some more supplies and was told not put fake plant and bought some real later on just to find him trap and dead in the fake plant like the petco at sloat recommended me take it out which I was but sadly was too late. Don’t go to this pet co the crew here don’t know nothing about pets and will just sell you anything just to make money off you 😡

Maxine the Dog Trainer has been absolutely amazing to us and our little chihuahua mix Candy. Maxine went above & beyond to try & find us the best class & classmates for our dog who has serious anxiety issues. She was very patient with us & overall it was a very rewarding experience. The classes themselves were very informative for us 1st time dog owners. Maxine is also great with communication/texting whenever we had questions or scheduling changes. Highly recommend Maxine’s training classes!

This poor Petco is always understaffed. The staff on hand do their best but shelves are empty or stuff is thrown wherever. Takes forever to get someone to help thats if you can even find an employee. Not the employees fault clearly this store packs proper management or funding or both
