I came to Petco recently in search of some feline greenies of the dental variety. While I was able to find them there was a limited selection on the shelf and I ended up purchasing the size and type that was left. I was able to make my purchase fairly quickly. I will also say they Petco does have a wide array of pet treats and toys for animals beyond just cats and dogs that say a super market may not have. read more

1 Star - Absolutely unacceptable treatment from groomer and manager I originally booked with a groomer named Tristian and had the best grooming experience I've ever had. He was professional, attentive, and handled my dog with care. Naturally, I rebooked--only to find out he was no longer available, and my appointment was reassigned to someone named Angela. From the start, this appointment was a nightmare. I gave clear instructions: * Don't dry my dog - he's fearful of loud noises * Don't trim his nails - we do that at the vet * I booked the first morning slot to minimize his stress and pick him up quickly I returned nearly 3 hours later to find my dog still locked in a kennel soaking wet, while Angela was grooming another dog. She ignored me at the counter. When I knocked on the glass, she came out visibly annoyed, told me my dog was "in the dryer," and walked away. Minutes later, I received a generic "your pet is ready" text, and the store manager appeared. Angela walked right past me without a word. When I voiced my concerns, the manager claimed Angela "felt threatened" by me and defended her behavior. No apology. No accountability. To top it off, my dog was handed to me still wet, confirming she had blatantly lied about drying him. I requested and received a refund, then filed a complaint with corporate. Shortly after, I discovered my grooming account was disabled, which feels retaliatory. This was by far the worst grooming experience I've ever had, made worse by the store manager enabling it. Neglecting basic instructions, being dismissive, and retaliating against valid complaints is completely unacceptable. Currently on my second complaint with Petco from this same experience and disabling of my account to book further appts. read more

4 stars for grooming, but 2 stars for the rest of the store. My local groomer retired about a year ago, so I had to find someone new. I've been to Petco twice now--once back in February 2023 and again today--and both times, Angela was my dog's groomer. She's amazing! Super sweet, bright, and just really great with my dog. Today, she was working solo and had a couple of pets ahead of mine, but even then, she took her time and didn't rush anything. I dropped my dog off at 12:30 and picked him up around 4, and he looked so clean and fresh! Angela even took the time to tell me how he did during the wash and grooming, and mentioned some things to keep an eye on, like his ears looking a bit red and his skin tags. I really appreciate how thorough she is. Now, the store itself? Not so great. The floors are sticky, and good luck finding staff on the floor if you need help. The checkout clerks aren't that friendly either, which is a bit of a letdown. All in all, I'd definitely recommend Angela if you're looking for a solid groomer, but the store could definitely use some work. read more

The website is wrong regarding services. I have used both grooming & Vetco & the hours for both say they are open when they are closed. This has happened repeatedly The website for Petco.com is frustrating & not user friendly. It replaces what I ordered with different items. I used them because I payed $240 for their Vital Care program to save on prescription dog food. Not worth. Go somewhere else. read more

I order the dog dry food from petco two day before, and I received the food expire day is 11/22/2020. Normally we're order from chewy, it's first time order dry food from petco. My dog don't eat the dry food, so We usually use the coffe blender grind it to the powder, when we finish whole bag two blender is broken, and I see the expire day is 11/22/2020. When I call petco ask if I didn't check, if my dog eat, Who will bear this responsibility！Petco just repeat we already refund the dog food money to you, don't want to answer my question! I mention that now is not this problem, is Who will bear this responsibility，then petco only repeat we already refund the money to you. I'm so angry, why petco do like this! I will never every order from petco, hope people see my message and check everything from petco! Don't let you pet( family members) eat the expire food! read more

Horrible customer service! They deserve zero stars! Good at sending multiple texts to remind you of your grooming appointment but no system in place to let you know when the groomer calls out. So I arrive before 8am for my dog's 8am appointment and there is movement Inside the store but the door is locked. A little after 8 a woman steps put to inform customers that the groomer is running late. Then at about 8:15 she comes out again to report the groomer called out and offered to reschedule the appointment and said I would get a 10% discount. I reschedule for today at 8:45 am. I arrive before 8:45am. There are employees inside the Petxo who can see me through the glass with my dog but no one acknowledges me. I wait until 9am when the store opens. I go straight to the grooming area and noone is there. I go to the front and am told that I need to wait by the grooming section to be helped. I ho back to grooming. I'm told I don't have an appointment. I explain what happened yesterday. I'm told again there is no availability for today and offered an appointment for Sunday at 8:45am. R U kidding me?!?!?!?!? Never again before 9am! So she gives me 9am for Sunday and tells me I'll get a discount for my inconvenience. It better be a darn good grooming session and a deep discount to get me past this inconvenience. read more

Petco - Petco at Sheepshead Bay. - Pet Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The first time I went to the Petco at Gateway mall the service was professional,courteous and the employee was able to assist my grandson in establishing a freshwater tank. The second time same results. The third time I went the employees had no clue in customer service. My grandson asked for specific fish and after waiting thirty minutes or more when I asked why are we waiting so long for the fish, the employee informs me that people underage are not served at Petco. I asked could you have asked him to obtain an adult. Meanwhile I am a senior citizen standing with aching joints. Tonight April 23 at the same Petco the need for customer service training was made obvious. My grandson asked for fish an employee whom I asked did he works here point at his ID which was on is midriff. The employee explained an employee with a key will get the fish. Now there were employees going back and forth in the area of the fish tank no one appeared to know we were waiting for fish.After waiting 50 minutes the original employee comes and says the employee who will get the fish will come soon. I ask if I should wait on the line in order to get se5vice for the fish. The employee laughs. Now the employee who can obtain the fish tells my grandson not to sit on the stepladder but never asks what is he waiting for. Another employee passes me I ask "Can you obtain fish for him?" That employee points to the employee who told my grandson not to sit on the stepladder. My grandson manages to speak to the employee who can obtain the fish she laughs and states "Didn't you see me go to get crickets." I am dismayed, disappointed and saddened. I know the employees may be overwhelmed with dealing with the public and lack communication skills but being inconsiderate is sad. My first two visits we received service that was courteous,professional and the staff was able to explain what my grandson needed. I hope that my next visit the service improves. Again this is the Gateway mall. April 23, 2025. ​​ read more

The services at Petco have definitely improved. Now the Vetco services are offered every Saturday. The last few times that I have been there I have noticed that the staff is way more friendly and helpful. While shopping or waiting to see the Vet the staff has offered water for the pets in line as well as snacks. I definitely appreciate this because my dog knows when he comes to see the Vet for shots and he doesn't like it one bit. He gets nervous and starts hiding under anything he can find in the store lol. But the attention my pet receives from the staff helps out a lot. This visit he left with cute reindeer ears lol. read more

I get all my dog and cat treats from here, we buy my dogs food from Chewy. Petco is great because they price match, and have stuff usually stocked. However!, I own a 10 year old snake that needs to eat large size rats so I always used to pick up a frozen one from this location. I used to work here so I know that shipments come in certain days of the week so I've come back 3 times, maybe 2 weeks apart each time and the variety of frozen foods for reptiles is just never there. I ask the staff and they're always unsure and tell me to call 'tomorrow'. I've just called and had a groomer pick up my call and asked to be transferred to literally anyone else on the floor. I waited on hold for 13 minutes and then hung up. I understand it's a pandemic and some items are harder to get maybe but this has been keeping me from coming back. I just get flustered after going in now. read more

I would give this Petco 4**** if it wasn't for the fact that they occasionally don't have the specific cat litter I'm looking for in stock. Otherwise I think this place is pretty good. Customer service is above satisfactory as they are always helpful when I ever I have questions. I always receive some type of coupon after the purchase or by mail. I come here for all my cat needs. read more

Petco - Pet Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Sure this location is larger than most and has more inventory. But, not worth the aggravation. I come here frequently to purchase food toppings for my dog, instead of buying individual packs I get the entire case which has 6 small pouches in it. Upon checking out, the cashier was extremely rude arguing with me that I am not " allowed " to buy these in 6pack small pouches. Meanwhile I've done it for over a year and never had a hard time. Fine I said go ask your manager, I over hear them speaking " whatever I Guess it's cheaper in the 6pack case ", and rung me up. First of all what am I saving, $.35 cents? Give me a break. No apology, continued to be dismissive and annoyed like I bothered her for having to do the extra work for her incompetence. Go else where, what a joke. read more

Had an issue recently with groomers. Apparently groomer "Ashley" couldn't get to work on time. Tell me she's gonna be about an hour. What's that mean? Well, they can't accept any dogs till this person shows. I'm there in the AM and they turn me away with my pup in tow. While I have an appointment no less. Got to work late because of this. I'm hourly, lost my first hour over this. Does it end here? Nope. I try to make another appointment and they tell me 6 weeks. Bro, you accommodate when you mess up. Place is over priced anyway. read more

Very nice place friendly not too expensive I'm always getting my bird food here wish they have more birds

I used to shop from this Petco 6 years ago when I had another cat, now that I brought my cat Muffin from Turkey and after a 10+ hours flight, that store was our very first stop from JFK to home :) We bought a litter box, the sand, couple cans of food etc. Petco might be expensive compared to online sales channels but sometimes all you need is to get something right at that moment so this store serves perfect for us for our first week. Today I went there again to buy Hill's brand food to try, Hills is expensive in Europe but I paid $16 for a 3.5lb size package so even if Muffin won't like it, I will not feel bad :) Hope she does though. My brother takes his Golden puppy to their Vetco center within this store and he is very satisfied with the service so I am considering them for our cat. Their rewards card is good for deals as well. Meets our needs for now. P.S. They had 2 cats waiting to be adopted, any neighbors considering adoptation, please go have a look. read more

Petco has almost everything you need for your pet. They have most conventional items and products so don't expect to come here to find gourmet food or luxury pet accessories. This Petco seems low on staff. We were waiting at the cashiers with only 1 employer available. Service was slow but acceptable. The prices are just like any other Petco in New York area, HIGH! read more

The only good thing about this Petco is its convenience. I can get everything they carry and more from Chewy.com. Their grooming service is....well if you want your dog gone for 5 hours, then go here. I've been bringing my dog here for 2 years and their service and timing has gotten progressively worse, while raising their prices to an obscene level. The last time I brought my dog there, she got sick. Could have been a coincidence, but all I know is she was fine before her appointment, then she came home and the next day was lethargic and not eating. Thankfully she was fine, and I decided to give Petco one more shot. Her appointment was for 2 pm. I got there 5 minutes early, and after the song and dance of trying to find her record, I left at 2:12, being told she'd be ready around 4. At 5:30, when I hadn't heard from them, I drove over and she still wasn't done. They said another 40-45 minutes, which turned into over an hour. When all was said and done, I spent $138 and had my dog basically locked in a cage for 5+ hours (mind you, it's not like she got walked while there). She looks fine but to have her locked away and being worried about her wellbeing, that's a hefty bill. I won't be taking her there again. read more

Worst store ever!!!! Called to ask if they have gerbils before driving down there. Was told they have males and females from new born to few months old. Excited, drove down to the store only to find out they don't have any. Which is okay if the person on the phone has simply made a mistake. But then the employee returns and say "no one in the store talked to anyone about gerbils on the phone!" I showed them my last phone call on my call log and verified that's their number.... Now I am pisses! Making a mistake is ok but flat out lying is an insult!!! Now they are basically calling me a "liar"!!!!! Worst store ever!!! Will never return to this store! A simple "sorry we made a mistake" would have kept me as customer and solved an issue! Can't trust a store that lies. Avoid at all costs. read more

Very disappointed at this Petco. I can't say for other pets but I was in their aquarium/fish section and I was really disgusted with the condition of the fish there. They had a tank full of Oscar cichlids that were in such terrible condition, that I nearly cried and wanted to puke. All the Oscar fish were missing all their fins (yes I mean all their fins). They were all lumped up together on top of each other on one side of the tank swimming with little to no fins. There were dead carcasses of other Oscar fish in the back of the tank that wasn't cleaned up; they were torn to pieces and had their eyeballs gouged out. All the fish had injuries and busted scales. Words can't even describe how disgusting it was. I mentioned to the worker that the Oscars looked sick and he told me it's likely the lobster in the same tank. I don't know why the baby Oscars were sharing a tank with a large lobster! With that being said, I bought one of the better looking Oscars because it was what I was looking for and I was hoping to save it from the condition it was in. It was a lot of work because this Oscar kept getting sick. It kept getting one problem after another. It took almost 3 months for the Oscar to finally heal up completely and finally swimming around my tank. But I think it remained mentally traumatized as he's not very aggressive and never fights back when he's being picked on by other fish. Very sad! I highly suggest anyone who is an aquarium enthusiast to avoid fish from Petco and other big chains. They don't care about their fish section and generally don't keep the water or fish in good conditions. You could end up getting a really sick fish! I almost thought this Oscar I bought couldn't be saved and I was really close to putting him down. Good thing he's doing well now! Besides that, the location is pretty large, convenient, clean and stocked. I have no complaints about that, and everything else in the store is tidy. I only wish that Petco would improve their maintenance with their fish. read more

The animals are in a very bad condition. All the fish I bought from Petco soon died. The aquariums are dirty and there are dead fish in them ... I wanted to take a parakeet, but they clipped the wings of the poor birds (they will grow back, but only after half a year), which is very bad for parrot babies. Many babies will not fly again... The cage for the birds is very cramped, and they have nowhere to stretch themselves - the parrots just sit on the branches. I do not recommend Petco if you are interested in buying animals. read more

If you are looking for fish and fish products, this is definitely the place to go to, they have a lot in selection, much better than the one on 86th street and stillwell. They have large fish tanks and fish stands. The store seems to be short staffed because I don't notice many employees around and there is only one cashier. I usually end up going here because of its selection. They don't have a lot of the exotic fish such as angelfish... like many stores, be sure to have your petco card (or apply for one) to get their discounts its near a stop n shop and marshalls, so its like a mini shopping area read more

Literally came here for 1 thing. Blue Buffalo canned dog food for my dog. In-store it was $30something. Online, it's $23.99. They price matched it ! Today was so busy! I think I only saw 3 workers on the floor. The vet was here so everyone and their animal was there. It looked like a zoo. It also looked like they just received merchandise because I saw some boxes and such. read more

Well it's hard to say something bad because since I've got a puppy I literally live there lol. But true is that everything is overpriced and stuff is not trained at all. I think I already know better where is everything there... We asked for a dog litter and girl told us that they doesn't have it, when it was literally on the next shelf. 100% I would not trust their advice and check everything myself, but it is what it is and so far we don't really have another big pet store in our area. My recommendation for manager would be just train your people more before they can start work and teach them at least basic info about pets. read more

Best petco In lower Brooklyn ! - I couldn't find any good petco's near my house until this one opened ! But I have to say it isn't the best petco in New York ! It basically has everything a good petco has ,but not a good variety for mammals (rabbits ETC) this is a good petco for cats and dogs ,they also lots of contests like Halloween dress up For dogs ,what I don't like is its overpriced for sure I mean $5 for a medium sized willow ball for rabbits it's way too much ,but it's worth it I guess ,this place has a good location too ! This isn't a must ,but it's a cool petco ! Recommended read more

Petco - Pet Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Absolute worst service and untrained staff. Heartless Vets. DR. RICK SAMU. Don't bother. The worst experiences every time.

I stopped at this store today to buy some food for my dog, couldn't find it. I was trying to find store staff to help me, couldn't find anybody. After 10 mins I found a manager who was very rude, didn't help me to find what I was looking for and just walk away from me. Also all animals in cages look very bad, animals don't get required care and look very sad. Some cages are not the size for those animals who they place in there. Very bad service and animal's treat. Don't go there. read more

I would not even give this place any stars at all if I were allowed to. I had call to confirm for my dog's appointment to find out that there were NO groomers in for his pre-scheduled appointment. How professional is this Petco? I cancelled my plans because this appointment was made 2 weeks ago and to find out on my own that this was cancelled with no confirmation from them. No phone call nor voicemail. Will never ever come back here. If they're sloppy with confirming appointments I won't even know how they can handle my pet during the grooming process. read more

I'm changing my 1 star to 4 because of the new manager, James. What a difference from the old manager. James Took the time out to learn about little issues regarding my dogs allergies and picked out different treats that doesn't have chicken in it. The only thing about petco that's stopping me from giving it 5 stars are the prices being so high, especially for grooming. But overall, this petco store on ave Y improved drastically because of James. Thank you for making customers feel welcomed and being so helpful. read more

I schlep from Park Slope to Sheepshead Bay to buy dogfood. I am a slave to my pet. Iams lamb and rice formula: $39.99 for a 40 pound bag (sometimes discounted); buy ten get one free. Seems like a good deal...and one of the only places to get large bags of chow. However. it is 16 miles roundtrip...but I have a fuel efficient car and enjoy NPR, so it's worth the added time and money. Sadie likes the wind in her face. The monthly errand makes us feel like we live in the suburbs. Don't buy anything else here. The prices aren't competitive, and you should support your neighborhood pet store. read more

The worst customer service experience at Petco grooming. This is so unfortunate because I liked the way my dog was groomed previous times but the way I was treated is absolutely unacceptable especially being a chain store with a big name. Very disrespectful groomer Daria who is apparently a manager in that dep. She called me 1 hour after grooming my dog stating that she will not honor the price $65 that came up when I booked the appointment online. When I said that this is not fair, she said that I can come and pick up the dog right now or she will just shave him bold for this price. She said it will cost me $85 which I agreed to pay but replied that I won't come back anymore. When I came back to pay she didnt even bother hand me the invoice and pointed at it for me to pick it up while hugging her bf. The grooming overall was decent but the attitude and the whole experience was very poor. Be ready to pay way more than what it shows online. read more

If I could give 0 starts I would. They keep there reptiles in the most shit condition ever. 6 lizards stuffed in one tank 1 water bowl. They aren't even supposed to share a tank. They all look so sick and unhealthy. Petco animals are produced in mills it's honestly sick. If you're interested in getting any animal adopt or rescue from a shelter! If it's a reptile go to a legit breeder! There tails are supposed to be fat and healthy. They aren't even supposed to have that rug . Use bounty. They don't even have a calcium bowl. This is so sad. All petcos need to be shut down ASAP read more
