Petco

I shop here regularly for food and pet supplies and have always been happy with the options and staff.
This was my first time using the grooming services. I didn’t need the full groom just some basic nail trimming etc. The staff was great, it was quick, and prices are very reasonable. Plus they’re open on weekends which makes everything very convenient. I have my next appointment scheduled.

I am a regular shopper at Petco. I have one dog & I get all his toys, food, grooming & other needs or wants from here. The prices are average. The staff are all friendly. I get my pups Christmas pictures here. They offer training for dogs. They do have a yearly Christmas calendar for a $ 15 donation to the shelter that is loaded with coupons & plenty of free coupons, very worth it in my opinion. They have fish, reptiles & birds. The SPCA & Madera Shelter have pet adoption days here monthly. The store could use a lil more dog products like the other Petco in fresno but that will not deter me from shopping here.

Ok I love this store and the staff is always awesome, welcoming, and friendly. It’s a little expensive but I love all their Halloween and starwars stuff! So cool. It also has a much better layout than the Fresno store… I can never find anything there!
That being said… can you guys fix the door? It doesn’t open until you are like… right on it and I’ve almost ran into it multiple times lmao. Other than that… keep up the good work

Came all the way from fresno to pick up a carrier because the customer service at petsmart was horrible! Worth the drive and I had great customer service, got in and got out. The workers are in a good mood and knew what I needed.

I haven’t had a negative experience with this Petco. Our family goes there to buy our dog food and other supplies. I can not vouch for the other departments as I only have dogs. It’s the only place in town to buy Science Diet brand dog food & I believe Blue brand dog food also. Which is why we really don’t have any other option. The staff in the canine department seem very knowledgeable, and have helped me every time I have asked crazy/​weird questions.

My girlfriend and I went to Petco and took our three month old German Shepard puppy with us. We asked a young lady for help and she showed us where it was, gave us our options then left us to talk in private about what we wanted. After we grabbed what we wanted, we went to the counter and the cashier knelt down, gave our dog a treat and played with her. The other guy working there was giving me dog training tips and showing me how the tips worked. They had great customer service and seemed liked they generally cared about our business and our dog! Would recommend this place to everyone!

My last review has changed a little bit… I have now switched dog food and it seems to be one they keep in stock so thanks for that.
But the fish department… Oh the fish department!
I went in to see if they had any Methylene Blue used to protect newly laid fish eggs from being infected by fungus or bacteria. I asked one of the people who works there who then referred me to the store’s fish EXPERT. The expert asked what I needed when I told him he said that the store doesn’t stock a lot of medications because they like to treat their fish with a more natural approach using more of a herbal or homeopathic type of treatment.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
I asked if he could order some for me, he said,” NO”…ah ok (I got it online)
ANYWAY;
I have been raising koi for a number of years now and this has got to be a first.
For starters Methylene Blue is something this store should always have in stock!
It’s actually something all fish people should have on hand. Not only does it save your newly laid eggs from fungus but it can also be used as a medicated bath when your fish have fungus, external parasitic protozoans (methylene blue is not as harsh and will not burn your fish like malachite green medications, found in ick treatments).
Methylene Blue also aids in the treatment of reversing nitrite (NO2-​), or cyanide (CN-​) poisoning of marine or fresh-​water fish.
Use 1 teaspoon per 10 gal. But I always use a-​little-​less. Remember everything you use medication wise can disrupt your eco-​system so less is best unless your using it as a bath. I have even had fish with open sores that I actually swabbed methylene blue on the sore with a Q-​tip (note dry the sore first) then just put the fish back in the aquarium or pond.
If this store would use Methylene Blue they probably would sell healthier fish.
This store’s koi are always sick… cramped fins, fungus covering their eyes, and the last time I was there the koi were just laying on the bottom of the tank.
If this store claims to have experts working, they need to make sure they actually are experts.

I bought my turtles there. A Red Eared Slider and African Side Neck turtles. That was circa August 2012. They are doing just fine. My family and I shop there for pet essentials and supplies every now and then. Go during the promotions for fantastic prices

I only shop here because I hate Walmart and Petco closed the only mom & pop pet store in town so this is the only place in town I can get my dogs and cat food.
They do have a lot stuff, and its priced OK.
The staff is very nice.

Nice store fully stocked I do advice you make an appointment early on for grooming they tend to be fully scheduled
