Unleashed by Petco

If you’re weak at heart, avoid this place on Saturday… Unless you want to walk out with an armful of puppies! I somehow always wind up here on adoption day, and I’d LOVE to adopt another animal, but my small apartment isn’t fit for a grass-​loving pup. (But by all means, YOU should consider adopting a playful doggy or kitty!)
The staff is always friendly at this location– so much so that I travel out of my way to go to this particular PetCo.
My cat thanks you, Unleashed, for your wide selection of tasty treats and fun, feline toys.

Really nice, clean «boutique» pet-​shop. Reminds me a lot of Bark! but a little more on the economical side. Located a few storefronts down from the city’s sole Trader Joe’s so its incredibly convenient to stop and get my dogs high-​end kibble here when I go shopping for my own haha.
The employees here are all super-​friendly and helpful. I’ve been going here for over 2 years strong after getting my first pup and I’ve seen the same cashiers there the whole time (which speaks volumes about the store itself in case you’ve ever worked retail before). They host LuvMyPet vaccination clinics here too which has ultimately saved me hundreds of dollars as well.

Unleashed by Petco in Gaithersburg is the best place around for your dog. The employees get to know you and your dog, and always have a little kibble or two to share with your pup. They have quality products and a rewards program that gives me a $ 5 coupon regularly. I’ve been to other small pet supply stores in Gaithersburg that completely ignored me and my dog, so it is so nice to walk in the door at Unleashed and hear a hearty greeting for my pugston terrier Ursula. Psst, they also have a good clearance shelf for bargains.

I shop here frequently even though I have a regular Petco and PetSmart nearer to me, because these guys are the only store that carries the Fresh Pet rolled food. I enjoy the atmosphere and the service, but I had to deduct a star because this particular location des not have the dog self-​wash stations and the chain does not carry many of the other supplies I use for my pets. Overall, though, one of the better places to shop for pet supplies.

Stopped in to get dog food for my dog, Emmanuel greeted me and showed me where the food was. I am 5 months pregnant and he carried the bag to the front and to my car for me. Awesome service!

I stopped in with my sister on the way to Trader Joe’s. This is a high end pet boutique like Bark.
Like most petstores, I only peruse certain items since I stick to what I know (i.e. I buy my treats & food from Bark & misc online).
It was eerily quiet when we stopped in, albeit it was lunchtime. We perused the toy section (amused by what toys we should and should not purchase); in general, they had a fairly wide selection. I picked out 2 toys and signed up for their membership and even saved some money. The cashier was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable… will def stop by again.
Yes — They are mostly for dogs & cats
No — There are no pets here.

This is the best place to go treat shopping for seven (out puppy) he love his organic treats to brought him two weeks ago; now I have to pick him up some more. He’s a spoiled pup. Love u seven

OK, I’m not usually a huge fan of Petco. Not because of any real reason, except that they didn’t carry the brand of bunny litter that my infinitely adorable, but insanely persnickety bunny preferred. So I’ve been going to Petsmart for the last 5 years.
But this new «boutique» store by Petco opened up near my home, and they were handing out $ 5 coupons. So my husband and I decided to give it a shot (plus, I was looking forward to snagging the FTR. Yes, I’m demented).
The store is small; boutique sized then a full sized Petco, with a large emphasis on fru-​fru doggie goods. You know what I mean — designer collars/​leashes, little outfits, gourmet doggie treats (they even sold doggie ice cream!) and the like. Although a lot of the stuff was adorable, my husband (who is manly and would die before he dressed up a pet), rolled his eyes. A lot.
Surprisingly, we were able to find the litter that my bunny uses (Yesterday’s News), since the normal Petco stores don’t carry it. But alas, they had a miniscule (practically non-​existent) bunny/​hamster/​bird/​fish/​non-​dog or cat section, so we couldn’t also pick up some bunny food while we were here.
I also have to say, I was remarkably surprised by how helpful, nice and friendly the staff were! We bought two bags of litter, and they offered to carry it to the car for us. Of course, my manly husband wouldn’t hear of it… but if I’m ever here to pick up litter, I’m definitely going to be taking advantage of this. I’m weak and puny and proud of it. Heh.
You won’t find tanks of fish nor cages of birds and mice. You’ll mostly find high-​end doggie and kitty products here. But if you’re in the area, and that’s what you’re looking for — this is a nice store to hit up (even if the parking lot is a hot crazy mess).
