I purchased two fish for our pond, which have been doing great, and recently set up an aquarium, to which I plan on buying more fish from here. The store is a bit quirky but has a lot of supplies, and well tended for pets. Best selection and healthiest looking fish in all of Marin.

I am so bummed to see one of my neighborhood pet stores selling animals! I came in for the first…read moretime to see what I could find for my rodent friends (it's hard to find any brick and mortar that sells rodent supplies), but I was so taken aback with how the rodents being sold were living. Rodents need a good amount of space to move around laterally -- there were several mice confined to a very small tank. Birds and fish were also living in small and dirty quarters. I want to support local business, because I believe the owner knows a lot of about animals and gets a lot of local business. But I we really need to address the harms of the retail sale of animals. Please stop selling them in your store!

Longtime customer first time reviewer. Last Saturday I went in to the store to bathe several tiny…read moredogs at the self pet wash. As soon as I walked in the door, an employee named Ashe greeted me and my dogs. I knew within one minute of chatting with her that she was very knowledgeable and dog savvy. She was very kind and polite and helpful. She was respectful of my dogs and clearly understood their body language. While they were in the pet wash, I realized that I could probably use a licky mat to put on the side of the tub to make the experience more pleasant for them. Somehow, Ash read my mind and checked in on us. When I asked if they had anything like that, she ran and got it for me. Unexpectedly, a family who had arrived and was using the tubs for their own pets, lost control of a very small dog who was not wearing a collar. The dog bolted from the tub and ran out of the doors into the parking lot. The mother and child ran out to get the dog and several passersby appeared to be chasing her, which is the worst thing you can do with a loose dog who is running The amazing Ashe quickly made sure that the other employees were manning the store, and briskly walked outside, assessed the situation, did a wide arc so as not to pressure the little dog in any direction, and planted herself far ahead of the dog so she could block her from getting to the main road if that became necessary. In short, Ashe is a gem. She is not only a stellar employee, but I fear she is overqualified and I may need to hire her myself. I will be back as I always am, but probably more frequently due to your wonderful employees. Thank you!!

It's honestly so hard to go past all the animals living in their tiny, restrictive enclosures. I never have to pass them but today I went through to see how all the animals were doing. Sadly, I saw fish being sucked into the water purifiers, alive and stuck, dying a slow death. I found several innocent fish like this, it must happen daily. Turtles, who live decades, living in boxes with no enrichment. I saw hamsters and mice bored out of their minds in tiny plexiglass cubes. Why are we selling animals when our shelters are inundated with animals who need homes? Petco does not need to sell animals to make a profit, they have great products and food for sale. Stop the breeding and selling of animals! Please do not buy your pet friends! Check adoptable animals at petfinder.com

As an example, our son ended up bringing home a very ill gecko that he saved from a friend. We went in for advice. They helped us get the little guy back to a normal state. We ended up taking him in to the store to rescue. About a month later, we were in the store for dog food. The "gecko" guy saw us and updated us on the rehoming and health of Gordon. The staff seems to be well trained. Always cheerful which is a good indicator of good management.

They carry leads, harnesses, Teckleclub rain coats (the best!), toys, treats, dog & cat food (including our fave SmallBatch), and more. And everything is neatly arranged. I had a lovely conversation with the staff member about the best toys based on the size of our pups and their needs (our one pup is a toy destroyer!). Took home a seemingly-indestructible, sturdy lobster toy, and my pups love it. Of course the destroyer ripped a hole in it within an hour, but so it goes in our house. They'll continue to play tug with this for awhile. Thanks Dogville! I look forward to visiting again when in the area. Happy Woman's History Month!

Frustrating, especially when you have your puppy in the car. The last thing my puppy wants to do is sit in the back of the car and wait after having dropped kids at school all over Marin. Maybe change the hours online to reflect when it's actually staffed? I guess my first clue should have been that there are no posted hours anywhere on the front doors. The car next to me left 10 minutes ago, guess I will follow. It's now 9:30 and the doors are still locked. Off to another local pet store!
