They did not really go over what I wanted, just quickly "yeah, yeah'd" me and took the dog. When I picked my dog up, no one discussed the trim and just let me take her and check for myself when we got home and I could see her underside what was done. It was not what I was expecting, nor did it cover the areas requested. It was not a big deal in my opinion however so I didn't call or say anything. I received an email from them to review the services, so I took the opportunity they presented to me. I said I was unsatisfied and thought the trim was less than instructed. To that short statement I received a very immature response complete with full caps "YOU"s blaming me for the misunderstanding and saying that the negative feedback made it "too late to make it right". It also made comments about the requested service that were not accurate, furthering my belief that they didn't actually listen when I was talking to them concerning it. I decided to call the manager to give her a chance to behave in a mature manner and discuss the issue at hand which for me at this point was getting yelled at via text with all the caps etc. I got yelled at over the phone and told that the email was not "asking our thoughts of the service" and that the "negative review was what upset her". The email requests "feedback". Feedback is one's reaction to a service or product aka "our thoughts of the service". The manager told me she made motions over her body to my mother on where the dog was to be trimmed which was not accurate- the trim was discussed over the phone and not again in person. I guess I should be sorry for using your chosen platform to let you know how I felt about the service. But your response was way out of line, and frankly a little irrational. Then the response over the phone was combative and again out of line. If you don't want negative feedback, go over the services given before your customer leaves. The manager seemed to be dumbfounded that we would even expect them to go over the trim when returning the dog to us. As if we should be able to see the belly of a large dog with long side hair from standing or would want to kneel on their floor with all the dog traffic to inspect for ourselves... The lack of professionalism when I dropped her off and picked her up were enough to make me look elsewhere, however the response to my brief and non accusing review is what made me decide to definitely not return and warn others that this place is not necessarily worth giving business to.

My usual groomer had to get surgery for arm...rotator cuff or something, so I asked the cyber…read moreuniverse to recommend a place for me and a ton of people raved about this place. Of course I had to give them a try! First I brought in my long-haired chihuahua and told them to shave him down. He looked great! He did have a bad rash on his butt from caked-on mud and poo. He healed quickly tho. Then I brought in my standard yorkie and asked for him to be shaved down. (It's hot in the summer!) They did and I forgot how skinny he looked underneath all that hair! It's $50 because I asked for a bath, nails, and a cut. Totally worth it. They even put an adorable bandanna on your pup when they're done. I love that I can drop off my dog(s) super early in the morning. (Like, 6:45am) It helps with my schedule. It's a cute little place tucked back on a dirt road and tons of trees. I think I'll just stay with these guys! They do an awesome job.

The employees on the phone are always nice and they're pretty darn accommodating when it comes to making appointments and such. Once my husband tried to trim our Yorkie's leg hair and he cut him pretty badly. This hospital let me in right away and gave him a couple stitches. Was only $30 as well. Which I think is great for stitches, an antibiotic shot, and 2 days worth of pain killers for my Kramer. Parking is weird. I do not like that about this location. You rarely have to wait for your appointment. That's awesome. There's a groomers attached. I really like that. I can almost always plan the vet appointment and then a groomers appointment together. They reeeeeally push you to buy extra stuff; like teeth cleanings and heart worm stuff from them. Teeth cleaning is SUPER expensive here...like $250. That seems like way too much to me. I'll continue to stay at this location. The doc and employees seem to really care for each and every animal that comes through their door.

Recent purchases for our two Ragdoll cats revealed moldy food and mold inside the cans. The kind people at Petco refunded me the money so I could purchase another brand. This is the third time it has occurred with the Petco "house brand" in the orange can. The label says it's Made in Thailand, and I have to wonder about the quality control and/or shipping conditions. BEWARE this Petco brand!

We were called by phone today re a review we wrote concerning their grooming policy a few years…read moreago. We actually complimented the groomer but mentioned that our four month old puppy was traumatized by the constant loud barking in the background. So they decided to block us on their website because of this reasonable review, which was unbeknownst to us until today. We will NEVER shop at Petco again after discovering their lack of integrity and backhanded activity of blocking us. (And we've been shopping there for the past two years in our ignorance.). PetSmart will always be our choice now. You may consider making a similar decision if you value your right to offer a business a sensible review. Otherwise, Petco will simply punish you (blocking) as if you were an errant child.
