Petco

Being a young adult now and having to buy my own pet food and supplies, Petco helped me realize the options out their for my pets. Granted, I did all the research, but shopping from home on their website helped me narrow down my choices. If you’re animal doesn’t like the food you choose, they have a donation box where you can put your open bag of food in, and they let you get a new bag. With in store pickup and their rewards program, it was even easier to make up my mind to start shopping at Petco. The rewards are a lot easier to add up than other pet stores, and you can get discounts on instore pickup.
They have more natural options for my cats with less preservatives and add-​ins; not only food but the cat litter as well.
To lead into a change, there’s two different ways this review really could go: What you have already read about Petco, and what I wish they could have that other pet stores already have. I still shop at Petco, but not for cat food. They don’t have their own brand of cat food, which makes buying healthy conscious brands a bit more pricey. The brand I use to buy was always in stock, but not in every size. Regardless of me switching food brands, they had the brand I bought on sale just about every other week (which is when my cat food would run out. 9 out of 10 times I got it on sale) They don’t have as many options for cat bowls, toys, collars, etc. However, I bought a cat tower on a holiday weekend and ended up saving 40%… which is a lot!
Overall, there isn’t anything wrong with Petco! They’re still more conscious of healthy choices compared to their competitors. Their fish section is so grand it has me wanting to get a fish and decorate a tank every time I go in. The reptile section is pretty bare in my opinion when I go in. It’s not dirty or smelly (which can be a give and take because there are animals available for adoption so it depends on what day you go in). Oh and! If you like themed toys and supplies, they always have something interesting that you wouldn’t find at any other pet store chains; Hello Kitty, Star Wars, Dr. Seuss, etc.

Clean store, friendly service! I would highly recommend this location. This is where we go to get all our dogs food, treats, and more! Don’t miss our show at the Indianapolis Zoo called the «All-​Star Dog Challenge».

I’ve been shopping here for a little over 3 years. They’ve really expanded their natural pet food offerings. I’ve noticed a lot more natural dog treat offerings lately too. The fish department is great. They have some the largest cichlid selection I’ve seen in a chain store too. They only have fresh water fish, but that’s pretty common for chains. There’s always someone cleaning or scrubbing tanks, and they’re pretty knowledgeable. I think that shows they care. They won’t make stuff up just to get a sale. The prices are a little higher than other chains, but the rewards program more than makes up for it. You get 5% back on all purchases. Not too bad.

Overall it is a pet store, so there are bound to be moments of smelly air. I’ve always liked Petco over others because of the service and their rewards program is better than some others out there. This location though, doesn’t always have the best staff. The selection and prices are good, but when you get to the check out, it goes downhill. The last couple times I have been there, the check out process has been incredibly slow. One register open with 5 people in line is too common here. And once you get to the register you’re lucky to get a smile that isn’t forced. Service in other departments aren’t any better, and I’ve heard people call for help more than once before someone finally decided to actually help them.

Good service here. A smaller selection of products than Petsmart, however they have better hours on Sunday and were open when I needed them.

I love PETCO. especially this location. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, especially Brittany and Joyce. They always make you feel welcome and you leave knowing more than you came in. They suggest the right products for your pet and don’t push products. Great selection of toys, collars and leashes as well. The only negative thing I have to say about this store is that there is an older lady who volunteers there (I think she works/​volunteers for a food co. and pushes products) I don’t think there’s anything wrong with suggesting your co’s products but she even had the nerve to say maybe I was buying a ball that was too small for my dog. FYI he loves and plays with that ball everyday so I will never take advice from you ever. Maybe you need to retire. But all in all this is a good location. I live closer to the speedway petco since I moved but travel the extra miles to go to a store that knows me and treats my dog right. He’s always excited when I tell him we’re going bye bye to petco. I’m getting him groomed Sunday so hopefully we’ll have a good experience.

Petco supports animal rescues and adoptions. Check out info on their Petco Foundation. They carry the food my dogs eat. They have all the pet related crap, like dog Colts jerseys and pee stain remover, that one could ask for. The staff is always nice. They were genuinely sympathetic and helpful when i was putting up postings for my missing dog. I wish they had a downtown location, but I will continue to make the trip to this location to satisfy my dogs’ treat addictions.

The employees are friendly and helpful when I can’t find what I’m looking for. I come here to buy specialty dog food for one of our poopers. Almost $ 20 less than if I were to buy from my vet. It blows that it is in a strip mall that is slowly dying. It’s a far drive from downtown, but it’s slightly easier to get to than other Petco stores. One thing I wold recommend: do it yourself dog baths. Then I wouldn’t have to have another pet store in my repertoire.

This place SMELLS. I realize it’s a pet store, but I have been to numerous pet stores and not experienced this stench. Pet stores are always much more expensive than Target or Walmat, and I don’t need anything fancy, so I prefer to buy my cat food from a store I am already at instead of making an extra trip. When I do need special items, I prefer to go to Petsmart, it is cleaner and nicer. One nice thing I do have to say is they allow a cat rescue shelter to keep cages of cats in their store. This really helps the cats find homes and get adopted!

Great prices on Science Diet pet food. They need a location downtown.

Great selection of pet clothes out of all the pet stores I have been too including Target, Walmart, and Petsmart. We adopted our second pet from their adoption days in coalition with the Southside Humane Society about 2 years back and I have been very impressed. Our puppy was in good health and we received a coupon and lots of information.
