Petco

Adam was so nice when helping us with picking out our new fish. After being treated miserably at the store on S. Ironton it was refreshing to see that all the employees at this store are kind and curtious.

Love this place. When we rescued our pup we were happy to have a place near by with everything we needed with a friendly and informative staff. We signed up for the Puppy I class with Vicky and we were excited to see our dog catch on so quickly to the training! She is now so well behaved and the staff always recognizes her and makes sure they say hi when we come in.

Decent size with lots to choose from. Even more saltwater fish than what I’m used to seeing at other locations. Excited to see what else they have in store for us!

This is my favorite Petco in comparison to the one in Southlands. The General or Assistant Manager is always on hand to help customers find things, get discounts, and even personally check you out and make sure you have just enough for your pet. They don’t oversell things and give you things you don’t need but the employees seem like your breath-​of-​fresh-​air pet loving people.

First time to this location and all I have to say is I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of help I received from the associates in the store. I had at least 3 or 4 different people ask me if they can help me and even had one very knowledgeable person help me with all the information I needed for bringing my new puppy home in two days. Everything from how big my dog will be, what size leash I should, get color I should get, all about shots and vaccinations, puppy training classes, good toys for puppies, etc. She even directed me to the clearance section because my puppy will outgrow the toys quickly so no need to buy a very expensive ones. I ended up saving about 20 and came out with everything that I needed and I’m ready to go. I’ll definitely comeback

The Store: The store itself gets 5 stars. I always bring my Husky (Koda) in here to buy treats and toys and they’re always very helpful and nice to him. There’s always a great selection and I’ve never had an issue with anyone there. Funny/​scary story: One time the treats I bought him were these vanilla looking cookies with crème in the middle. I put them in his cookie jar and every time I opened it the cookies smelled so good. Finally I tried one and it turns out they were like the Great Value Vanilla Crème cookies you’d buy at walmart. After that experience, I don’t buy him the cookie treats lol.
The Grooming: This is where this place loses stars. I had gone in to get Koda’s nails trimmed. I’ve only done this with him once. I was with him the whole time and there was no issues. I brought his muzzle just in case because he can get quite bitey if he doesn’t want to be touched. The lady printed me out a receipt and told me to go pay, and said she didn’t need his muzzle. I was a little apprehensive but stood in line for five minutes to pay. When I came back, Koda was muzzled and tied to a wall, crying and fighting with her because she was trimming his nails. She cut to the quick on all of his feet on at least two nails each. I was so disappointed and upset for my baby. I know Husky’s are bad news when it comes to nails and such, but first time it ever happened to him, he wasn’t muzzled and he did just fine. We wont’ be going back here for the grooming.

Stopped in about a week ago for the usual dog food. Went to the normal spot and saw the rack was empty. An associate walked around the corner and I asked if she knew when they’d get more in (hoping it’d be soon so I didn’t have to go out of my way to another Petco as the other pet store-​place-​not-​to-​be-​named doesn’t even carry it!)…this associate, obviously several months pregnant disappeared to the back and got me a fresh bag off the shipping pallet that hadn’t been unloaded yet!
Staff is always friendly and helpful here. Have seen the manager out in the blowing snow shoveling his sidewalks and dropping salt to make sure it’s safe.

I love that they sell animals there (in regards to heather’s review below) — makes a more fun and interesting trip when I have to go pick up supplies!
staff has been knowledgeable with everything I’ve needed so far — I stick to the aquarium and reptile side of things — very helpful!

Super Pet friendly! Even to my Boxer/​Pit!!! =)

Whoo-​Hoo! I’m a fan again.
They moved the crickets up front. No need to spend ½ hr in the store waiting and waiting for $ 1.10 worth of cricket food for our gecko!
Thank you Petco!

I’d never shopped at a Petco before venturing into this one, adjacent to the closest Target that I visit rather frequently :) I decided to stop in out of curiosity and need. I’ve been trying to track down a certain litter for rodents (Cell-​Sorb) and hoped I might find it here. They did not carry Cell-​Sorb but did have the similar «Yesterdays News» brand. I’ve never bought YN before but I wasn’t thrilled at the $ 10 per bag price tag (I doubt it’s cheaper anywhere else). The store also sells rodents and parrots. I was rather alarmed at the number of Quaker parrots for sale in the store — there were 5. Quakers aren’t illegal in Colorado, but they are in many states including our neighbor Wyoming.
I can say that I was at least pleased to see that all parrots excluding budgies were in an air-​tight room. Though an air-​tight room would serve as a great quarantine area, I suspect the main purpose of its role at Petco is to protect the birds against drafts and cleaning agents used in the store (though I could be mistaken).
Unfortunately, I found the store hard to navigate with a cart, and though I signed up for the Petco shopper’s card, I doubt I’ll be visiting very often. It’s convenient since it’s next to Target, but I’d probably go out of my way to visit a more organized store that doesn’t sell animals.
