Don't come in in the evening and waste your time in the fish department. "I'll be right back" 15 minutes later not a soul came back to the fish department. I'm convinced they had don't their closing and just didn't want to help me get my fish. You lost a sell because you couldn't help a customer for 5 minutes. I knew exactly what I wanted when I walked in asked for it was told they would be right back and never showed back up. Waste of time. read more

I'm pretty disgusted with this Petco first of all I had an appointment for a vaccine for a cat that I've waited a month for and when I arrived I was told they couldn't take me (along with everybody else in line) and I had to schedule a new one for next month that was after I spent an hour to drive there as well and bundled my cat who just adores car rides. I was also told they can't vaccinate cats that are nursing (the kittens are now weened) but why isn't this information available when you book the appointment why do you need to wait a month for an appointment and show up to have this information revealed to you? So to make my trip not a total loss I stayed to buy some things. I was shocked that a small container of kitty grass was $10 (you can get a strawberry box size from albertsons for under three bucks). and generic flea collars were $20 that is just in my opinion rape. No I am not thrilled with this Petco. For the topper, when I get to the door with my cat in the cage, a 35 lb container of cat litter and two bags of over-priced obscure wet cat food and now the stupid cart with the tall pole attached won't go through the door at all. So I'm forced to remove everything from the cart and stagger to my car with all of it. it is not a place for pets or people. it is a place for whores to take your money and laugh at you. Why do people put up with this store? Somebody with a kinder approach will come along and put stupid petco under. I can't wait. Petco makes it obvious that they do not care about their customers or their animals read more

Im giving one star cause I can't give zero, I made my grooming appointment in person I showed the lady the paperwork I had of his shot and she told me it was fine just bring him the day of your appointment for grooming and the day finally came this Sunday, June 11, 2023 and when I got there early for my appointment she said she couldn't get my dog in cause of the paperwork because the shots were done at Mexico like what the hell they told me I could bring that paperwork for his grooming. Now I'm stuck on a Sunday without my dogs being groomed. They could've told me that the day that I made my appointment. So I could do something about it or look for another place, know I'm with a dirty dog with long claws and dirty ears until who knows when because of the lady not to mention she called the manager and she was rude, it's just dumb‍ read more

This is a HORRIBLE STORE. They put people in the management position who has no idea about pets and how to take care of them. I rescue betta fish for a living. And I've rescued over 10 at this store specifically. Most with great success, but one was so bad he only had one eye, had really bad fin rot, swim bladder disease, and a horrible skin infection. Unfortunately I caught it too late and he died. Every time I go in this place there are fish constantly sick. So I ask if they can take care of them or if they can surrender them to me. They don't surrender fish, but they will donate them to me for a $1 or $2. Not today. I tell someone about the fish and she goes and gets her manager the big bald guy. He didn't even say hi, wasn't polite at all. And was like tell me who gave these to you I want names. Are they male or female. Because this isn't okay at all. We are not allowed to discount fish even if they are sick. I will be having a big big talk with them. Then looks at the fish that were just swimming on their side and picks them up, and they swim "away" and he goes these are fine. These fish are meant to swim on their sides. They even make specially made hammocks for that. I could scream at this point. The lack of knowledge this man has. I was like you're joking right. And he proceeds to tell me most of them swim like that. I'm livid at this point. Because you're kidding right. They gave him a manager position and he wants to lecture me about something he clearly has no clue about. I told him that wasn't true at all. They swim like that because they are sick. And it's a problem when they are all swimming like that. That they need to learn to take care of their fish properly. Then he ends the conversation with " we actually have a very high turn over rate." Sir, that cannot be right at all. And if that's true then petco is worse off than I thought. If anyone needs to be talked to, it's him. He needs to be demoted, needs more education on fish, and he needs manners. I feel sorry for anyone that ask this man for help. Don't shop here. And no, I wasn't mad because I couldn't get these fish discounted. I was upset at the way he approached me and at the lack of knowledge this man has. And I'm especially upset at the fact that this isn't just a one time thing. These fish are constantly sick. read more

Petco isn't just a pet food supply store, it sells pets, food, treats, clothing, and more. Petco sells birds of all sizes, fish, lizards, even a variety of popular rodents (mice, rats, guinea pigs). They even have the female mice and male mice in separate containers so that you can decide whether or not you want to own a group that can procreate. They have all types of pet food, treats, and toys for all types of pets. It's all arranged by pet type with clear signage directing you where to find supplies for dogs, cats, birds, or small animals. There is even a pet treat bar set up to look like a salad bar with a single price per pound so that you can mix and match treats. I was here to buy some Nutri-cal for my dog who will be coming home from her overnight stay at the emergency veterinary hospital this afternoon. I had no trouble finding it with all the signage in the store. They even have obedience classes and pet grooming services right in the store. They even have an organization that does cat adoptions right in the store. The cats they had there today looked healthy, happy, and well cared for. Best of all, they don't mind if you bring your pet inside the store to shop with you, as long as they (and you) are well behaved. There is even a bowl of dog treats at the checkout counter with a sign that says "Every dog is special. Ask us for a free dog treat. read more

Petco - Pet Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This Petco is kind of nice because every weekend and holiday they have PUPPIES and tons of other animals for adoption. I've only seen kittens, rabbits and other small rodents up for adoption so this was kind of refreshing. The puppies are super cute and they get rescued from shelters by the adoption agency that works with Petco. This Petco also has a fantastic selection of products and small pets! They have a grooming facility and they have wonderfully helpful staff who are willing to answer any and all questions you have about their products. Great store! read more

My chocolate lab desperately needed his nails and hair did....So we went to see Tina in the grooming department. She made my little guy look and smell so handsome. Ask for the desheding shampoo, it really helped, especially this time of year when he is leaving a trail of hair wherever he goes. She is great with animals, he looked so happy when we picked him up, and she gave us a bag of treats. Will be back! read more

I came in here one day after my father had gotten off of work as well as many other customers. It was very, very busy with lots of customers purchasing what they needed for their loved pets. The store seemed very neat and tidy. A good selection of bird toys which is what I came there for on this particular day. As I approached the register area, I knew it was going to take forever to get out of the store. As I neared the end of the very long and only line, I decided to just put what I had in mind of purchasing back where I had found it. My father and I then left the store. If around 5pm is your busy time Petco, then that is the time you should have more employees on schedule to get people checked out and on with their day. I wasn't about to wait through 12 people in a single checkout line. Loss of business is occurring due to your lack of leadership. Petco, 2 stars. read more

My daughter brought home a 7 week old kitten we were not prepared for. We made a trip to Petco for supplies. Not a big variety of collars to choose from & the one we found was still too large. Ended up with a puppy collar so no bell. We did get her name tag too, but again not a big selection. If I had more time I would of used Chewy.com instead. Way more selections & a lot cheaper read more

These stpres could be a little more intriguing to go inside or be a little more inviting. Its hard to keep a pet store clean and smell so fresh and so clean clean. They always have what we need and it is close to home so it is worth it to still come to this location. They have a good selection vesides the lack of sadly to say it organic dog food, which are hard to come by in Bako. Overall a good store with helpful service and you have to love stores that welcome your pet inside the store. PS: If the company can read this, change your sign its dirt anf warn out. read more

I have been bringing my dog Kona here on a regular basis and have always received fantastic service from the staff. Special kudos to Jaceen who has handled her the most and has always treated her fantastically. Starting with the check in and the seven point check to the final check out, Kona receives the best treatment from the staff here and I highly recommend them. read more

Petco grooming is amazing!! Lori and her team are the best groomers in town! My two dogs love going to visit her every month!

Lorri is amazing. Definitely the best groomer. She is great with furbabies, super professional, knowledgeable, and a completely wonderful person. read more

I've been going to Petco for years and I just realized that I've haven't given them a review. Anyway, my dog and I love visiting the store together. We always feel so welcomed. The staff is super friendly and remain patient with my dog, she barks frequently (she's half chihuahua) and the staff always gives her space. They try to get to know her a little, but respect her boundaries. I suggest everyone download the Petco app to scan barcodes, I usually find better prices online and they're really good about price matching. read more

Man in Aquatics is rude and inconsiderate. Two days in a row he wasn't ready for people to purchase fish at 10:30 am!!!! He has no excuse except than he is busy with delivery or something? That was yesterday's excuse too. A customer said 10 minutes before I got there, the lights were on in the tanks and he was allowing fish to be purchased. Well, I am done with PetCo!!! I found a very nice PETSMART on Calloway not 2 miles away and they have awesome staff. Their tanks are beautiful. Had no hassles with" being too busy". They were happy to help. I highly recommend them if you are frustrated with PetCo too. It's by the Wal Mart Grocery Store on Calloway. Update: 8/16/19: The Mickey Mouse mollyI bought on 8/12/19 is dead. The three schooling fish I had bought that day also died within one hour of me picking them out. read more

Yet another store that doesn't care about their reptiles. The bearded dragons are 30+ degrees too cold. At that temperature babies can not metabolize their food nor absorb calcium properly, not that they were even given supplements. When I brought this to an employee's attention he shrugged and said that isn't his department. So way to go, selling people sick pets and not even caring. Sorry, Petco, I don't believe "animal care is your top priority" or I wouldn't see this same lack of care in every store of yours I have ever walked in. This is a fundamental problem within your company, and your employees do not seem to ever genuinely care. I've heard "not my department" at least a dozen times over the years, and despite promises to do better you never seem to. You should stop carrying reptiles and stick to food, accessories, and adoptions. It's unethical to keep animals like you do and pass the problems on to unsuspecting people at the cost of innocent animal's lives. read more

We took our Pomeranian/Australian Shepherd for a grooming session with Semi and we can not express enough how happy our dog looked! The detail and skills were amazing. I've never seen our dog so relaxed and stress free after a grooming session. We will definitely be going back to see Semi! Simply the best! read more

Bought a $70 salt water fish and it died within a day and a half and although they dont replace the fish they could of at least offered me some type of discount on my next fish. DO NOT BUY FISH here. I had multiple people tell me they die easily but I went ahead and took the risk and sure enough rip to my $70 fish. read more

I usually go to the Gosford location but I was close by so decided to go to this one now I am a all pet lover. And what happened at the Rosedale location was not okay. Basically I have a fish tank that has guppy,brittlstone algae eaters,panda Polly, two snails,shrimp,and baby guppy's. I had requested two panda Polly's and three brittlestone algae eaters and I was disappointed now don't get me wrong they gave me those fish. But I was given some unknown snails and some baby I don't even knows. Now yay free fish and snails but I like to have a tank that when people ask I can say the names of all in the tank but also I have no idea if these would turn into aggressive baby's and therefore I am upset with these location the Gosford location has never done this and I was let down. I hope this will change the way things are done at Petco-Rosedale location, Thanks-Petco customer read more

I was very nervous taking my dog to get her groomed. I have a Labrador retriever that was shedding like crazy. I initially asked for pricing on shaving her for the summer. Lori did not recommend it due to her coat. She asked me to research it before I made a final decision (I am so appreciative of that). She recommended the de shedding shampoo and regular grooming. Lori was very kind and reassuring over the phone. She made me feel better about getting my baby groomed. They were very good to my girl and she looks great. They trimmed her nails really well too. Very happy. We will be going back. read more

Their customer service is outstanding! They always greet and offer to help. Every. Single. Time. I don't remember his name, but their cashier guy provides great customer service as well. He's very chatty, friendly, and seems to love his job. I take my cat here for all her grooming needs. It's affordable and they're not afraid to bathe my cat, which is why I love and appreciate them even more. If you want to adopt a pet (mainly dogs and cats), Petco helps find homes for thousands of pets every month. Adopt and help save a life today! read more

My fur baby LOVES all the Petco groomers, especially Semmi. She goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect with her skills in all things grooming. I can tell she genuinely cares for animals and that makes such a difference from other places I've taken my pets. Thank you Semmi..Thank you Petco for hiring her! read more

Tried to bring up cat supplies and the website gave absolutely NOTHING! Did not even show cat as a selection.

Some of the employees here are hit and miss... I even found a staff member's motorcycle key in the parking lot next to his vehicle and turned it in after asking everyone in the store if they had a bike... and it turned out to be staff's. The guy seemed to care less? Maybe he wanted someone to steal it... Oh well, karma will be good to me, hopefully! BUT there is one gem of a gal working here - Tracey. I do not even know how to thank you. We got a new puppy a couple of days ago and it has been awhile for me since puppy-land. The advice you gave us solidified what we thought we should be doing but were not sure we had the patience to get through. You steered us in the right direction and things have greatly improved already - thank you for your time and for being so approachable! Prices are up there here but you will find everything you need at this store for your pet. We have used the name tag engraver for collars and we love it. Very easy to use and gives you piece of mind that your pet is tagged in case of a great Houdini escape from your home. Especially since it seems cats in CA do not have to be licensed. Thanks Petco, see you soon! read more

I love Petco and my dogs love Petco! Eric Tilliey the team leader at Rosedale Petco didn't have to, but I think he should be recognized for what a great job he does! He's so friendly and nice and anyone needing help at Petco should ask for Eric because he'll get the job done. He helped me and my mom with an emergency with my dog even though he had got off work already. He came back to work and stayed 2 hours with us at the er vet and took care of everything and made everything a lot better. He went above and beyond my expectations. read more

I hate that their customer service sucks ! I also think they should pick up the phone when someone is trying to get to customer service! Besides that never had any problems read more

Don't come here. There is parvo here and will get on your shoes and you'll bring it to your dog. They rarely wash their floors enough. Do not come here or you'll make your dogs sick! read more

I have been here many times before for numerous items for our two fur babies. Usually toys, collars or treats and occasional fish food. No fur on my fish. Now that our pet food delivery service has gone out of business I've been forced to do what most people do and go buy dog food at a store. I was totally spoiled it was a fabulous service. Because I was the worst about buying dog food. Now eight years later.......... So to my extreme horror I realized that this is not an easy task as I thought it would be. There are hundreds of brands of dog food to choose from, who knew? Salmon, chicken, lamb, rice, sweet potato, gluten free, grain free, lactose free and on and on and on really??? For dogs??? Ok so now I'm thinking what do I get? Are they lactose intolerance or need gluten free? Do they prefer salmon over chicken? Then I'm reading on one bag that says "Better Tasting" Ok who's tasting it to know? Holy Heck it's dog food, I know but I don't want to be cleaning up after a upset stomach. So I went with Salmon, sweet potato and gluten free and they loved it no issues. But when I went back to get more, oh noooo, they don't have it in the big bag in that flavor. Ok I'm good for another week, so I go back and still out of that 30lb bag!!! But we have the 10lb. Ya right at twice the price. Ack!!! So I try a different flavor in the same brand but chicken and not gluten free. The dogs hated it....... Luckily they have a 14 day return policy to exchange for something else. At $50 a bag I was all about that. But now it's been 3 weeks and they still didn't get that 30lb bag in so I went with Lamb, sweet potato and gluten free. So far so good. So that's why I'm giving 3* I just want them to at least carry a good brand consistently so my dogs don't get upset stomachs. Otherwise variety they are not lacking and their customer service is awesome. Super friendly staff. read more

Shopped for my puppy this morning and saw how rough one of the groomers was w the dog she was grooming. The dog was just panting a lot out of anxiety and moved his leg. She pulled him so hard and was yelling at him. Whoever is in charge of this department needs to put some eyes on these groomers. That was awful to see. Especially with the dog not doing anything wrong. Shame. read more

I have been a customer of this Petco for quite some time now. I own multiple pets, two dogs and a Betta. I just recently went in looking to add a Cory to my tank at home and had to wait about 20 minutes or so for the one worker to help another customer; only to be told I could not buy a fish today as she thought my tank (five gallon) would stress out the fish. (Even though their tanks are SUPER great right?) oh well. I had gone there for a new tank for my Betta to cycle over the next few days and when I got home discovered it was missing over half the parts. Called customer service and they asked me to come and return it.. at eight at night. I hope I can return this at a different Petco because I don't want to return to this one again; even if it is the closest to my home. read more

Went in looking to buy some fish, nobody asked if I needed help after a good 20min looking at the fish I had to ask for help I got some bullshit excuse of why she couldn't give me the fish I wanted bcuz I didnt have a sample of my tank water and to come back in 24 hours. I just wanted 2 fish, complete waste of time should have went to petsmart mybad. read more

Fairly new out here and was reading all the reviews on here and Google and to be honest, they were not very promising. However, I wanted to get my dog's picture taken for Christmas, and they were the only ones doing pictures in the morning. So I said, what the heck... Imagine my surprise when not only was it one of the best Santa's we've had (and trust me, my dog has met quite a few over the years)... but the staff were all very pleasant. And the cashier (I wish I had gotten his name).. well he was just super friendly. It was quite different from what so many previous people had written. None of these stores are really in my close area, but should the need arise, I would definitely go back to this store. And Roxie gave the store TWO paws up!!! It really was a nice surprise and again... they were all very friendly and Santa and his helpers were wonderful. read more

I'm not sure this is the best place in the world, but it certainly is good for what we need... for the most part. It is a clean and friendly store. We have even adopted a cat here with TheCatPeople.org. The only cons here is that they dont regularly stock the kind of food we need in the larger bags (so we settle with smaller bags or going to PetSmart on Ming), and sometimes if the lines are long, it takes forever to get checked out. Either way, this is a decent place with no real amazing or horrific factors. read more

Overall, I enjoy this location. The store is never busy and I can usually get in and out very quickly. The reason for the deduction of one star is the attitude of the employees. The last time I was there I was treated very rudely by the cashier. He didn't greet me, he slammed my dog food bag onto the counter, didn't even allow me to enter my reward phone number in, oh and he couldn't even be bothered to fake a smile or tell me goodbye. It's funny though, sometimes he is the nicest guy, while other times he is completely unpleasant. Either way, you work in customer service, suck it up! Plaster on a fake smile, ask me how my awful day is going, bag my crap, and send me along my way politely. read more

Wow! Petco.. You've given me some really bad experiences in the past, but finally... FINALLY... This visit was amazing!!! I visited Petco to get a tank for my Betta fish, Buddy. Needless to say, we walked in and it was a quick painless process.. 23 dollars later I found a cute tank with a killer price on it. Besides that though, my partner and I were looking around at saltwater tanks and different options... Now we are NOT educated on the subject by any means, but let me tell you.. Cameron? He knows his stuff! Cameron came over to help us and schooled us on everything we needed to know... Not only did he educate us, but he really helped us by giving us a break down of all that goes into a saltwater tank. He was patient, answered all our questions, and even went as far as to point out what starter fish would be best. He was amazing! Kudos to Cameron and the staff at Petco. They have stepped their game up and really took care of me and my partner. :) read more

Lorri does a great job with grooming my dog. She is very helpful and gives great advice on care tips for my dog (Tutu)!

This is our go-to store for pet supplies in Bakersfield. One-stop shop for all your pet's needs. The customer service here is great too; people are friendly, and you can bring your dog(s) inside too. We pick up treats and toys for our puppy from time to time; although I have to admit we buy most of our products online! :) BUT if you're looking for something immediately (and can't wait for the online shipments to arrive), then this is the store to do some shopping! read more
