We dropped by to get a new toy for my sister's dog. They have a good selection and something in every budget range. We ended up getting a toy for her dog and one for our dog, too. The store is well arranged, it seems a little smaller than many of the Petco stores I've visited in the past, but the inventory and variety are great. The employee we interacted with was friendly and helpful. It's pretty likely that I'll be back. read more

We've been taking our Airedale Terrier, Jojo, to Petco Grooming in Davis, and today was her fourth grooming appointment with Orion. Airedales can be a challenging breed to groom, and Orion was honest from the start that she hadn't worked with many of them before. We really appreciated her willingness to learn and improve. Each visit has been better than the last, and Jojo is comfortable and happy with her. Orion is patient, professional, and clearly takes pride in her work. We're very pleased with the progress and the service we've received. read more

Of course we love Petco because it gated to the other family members. Besides the prices, the store is usually a good place to stop and check out. read more

I would give petco grooming 10 stars if i could. NATALIE!!! is your doodle hairgirl. First off- Natalie is so sweet and friendly! I love her energy & personality she's truly a gem. She knows exactly what to do and is so detailed in what she offers. She also made sure i got the discounts available with vital care perks. Her service is great, her energy is awesome, and her care/love for the pups radiate in our interaction. My dog went in shaky because she doesn't like grooming but she came out so happy and GORGEOUS. The full groom/cut is definitely on the pricier side, but I think I found my place. It's the best cut hodu has gotten EVER. The package upgrade is inclusive of most service options (nail buffing, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, etc) that other places have offered individually as add-ons for more $$. I dropped my dog off for about 4-5 hours and was really pleased with the results! Natalie is definitely a popular groomer so it's best to book in advance. Also, she added the cutest st patrick accessories ever... i'm in love & very happy! read more

Petco lost a customer today. We've been loyal customers at our local Petco since they opened 30 years ago. Today, I went in to get a refill on cat litter, using the same refillable containers we've used all along. When I went to checkout, the new manager informed me that she could not sell me the cat litter because the containers were "non-conforming" and too big (by 8 ounces). I told her that I've been using the same containers for years and no one had ever mentioned that they were "non-conforming." She replied "No, sorry, that has always been the rule!" (implying that I was lying). I offered to pay the difference and she said that was not an option. I offered to dump out the difference and she said there was no way to verify the correct weight. (Seriously? Eyeball it! It's cat litter ffs!) Then she told me I would have to take the containers back to the refilling station and dump them out! I told her I was leaving them with her and didn't care what she did with them. She told me I was being rude, and I told her she lost a customer. The staff at our local Petco have always been so friendly and helpful, but today was such a departure from the norm. We're going to give the new Pet Smart that's opening up in a couple of weeks a chance to earn our business. read more

Saw the most sickly, skinniest leopard gecko I have ever seen. Have visited/ purchased from this Petco for years, even once got a pet there; I know big-box pet stores have a bad rep for caring for animals, but this is just sad. Clearly staff are not caring properly for animals, due to personal negligence and/or poor cooperate oversight/ support. I will not shopping there again, as long as animal treatment remains this poor. Really shameful for a company "where healthy pets go". read more

Had a great experience at Petco in Davis with Orion, our pet stylist. They took time with us at the start and end, and the customer service was outstanding. Charlotte, Mini Australian Labradoodle, was clearly well cared for -- she loved them, and they loved her. We're super happy and now a new client. Highly recommend giving Petco a try! read more

Some of the staff here at Petco Davis and the Vetco clinicians that come here to do vaccinations, are some of the worst employees. As a person of color, they lie, BS, and discriminated against me and my dog for calling out their BS. I complained about their system, and they gaslighted me, made me look like I am the crazy one. This employee said his name is Josh told me to "get your dog away from me", when my dog isn't even doing anything to him. Then he lies about being afraid of big dogs. His manager, said her name is Caitlyn, that I cannot discount his experience..then why do you work at a pet store and only for me to see he is playing with a big dog. In the first place he was the one came towards me and my dog. When asked for his manager he says, "No you cannot talk to my manager, Go find her if you can." Like WTF, this is how you people are here? and the vet assistant lies about my dog biting her when it didn't even happen. Back in 2019, when I also brought my dog for grooming, I can hear my dog from the back crying in pain, when I asked the lady all she said was "dogs cry all the time". I have been a customer of Petco/Vetco for years, I was so upset today that I am never coming back to this store after a repugnant experience today. These people should do a better job and have to undergo serious customer service training and nip the horrible behavior. If it weren't for us customers, you wouldn't have jobs if the store closes down due to employees unfortunate attitudes. read more

Grooming appointment 12:45 for a bath. Call me at 5:05 to tell me just getting started but can't do bath because hind leg has a knot. Would've to be shaved. Asked if can just give bath and I'll cut it out, was told manager said no. If they had called me at 1:30-2 saying this I prob just go with the flow. But having my dog for over 4 hours before you start? No sorry, no discount. Not going be a Karen know most of them young but come on? Get out of here read more

Nail appt are walk in and no appt necessary at Petco. Then we are turned away because we do not have an appointment and they were not busy. My dogs vaccinations and rabies shot were also done at Petco. We had to bring the papers in at this location when they can just look it up in their system like other Petco stores. Don't waste ur time here and pick another location. Lazy workers. Don't trust your dogs with ppl who don't welcome ur dogs in for simple nail trimming. read more

I want to first clarify that I am not a Karen. I've never written a negative review before, but this breaks my heart. I want to share my recent experience at Petco, specifically regarding the condition of the leopard geckos. The store's conditions are alarming--the water bowls have visible MOLD. To add on top of that, leopard geckos store fat in their tails, so the fact that all of their geckos are extremely skinny is not a good sign. This has been an issue for as long as I've lived in Davis, I moved here last year. I purchased a gecko from here earlier this year, trying to save it. Unfortunately, it passed away after a few months. I consulted a reptile specialist who advised against buying from Petco due to potential diseases. Our gecko had major health issues, despite our efforts to provide proper care. I've had a leopard gecko for maybe 10 years now, I know how to take care of them. His tank had the perfect humidity gradient, and lots of places for him to climb and hide. He had everything he could ever need in there. There was no risk of impaction. The specialist's advice and treatment were unable to save our pet. The crickets purchased from Petco were suspected to be the source of a black spot in our gecko's stomach, leading to its passing. I urge Petco to address these concerns promptly and reassess their animal care practices. Potential customers should be aware of the risks associated with purchasing animals from this store. For a place that specializes in pet supplies and pets, it is extremely alarming how much neglect and abuse is shown for these poor animals. I wish they would do a better job of taking care of them. I'm disgusted. read more

Stopped by Petco yesterday so see if I could find a new lid for my Fiddler Crab enclosure (they're true escape artists), and it was a pretty great experience! I am always excited when I need something from Petco - it's like visiting a miniature zoo. This was my first time in having a certain product in mind, and luckily enough they had exactly what I needed! Though, I will say it took a good couple minutes to find what I was looking for due to there being no available staff to ask. I have found the service at this particular Petco to be a little hit or miss, but far from anything that would ruin my shopping experience there (because again, it's like a miniature zoo). I am very happy to have a pet store in Davis that carries food and other necessities for my crabs though, because while their prices might be higher than average for any given product it's hard to beat the convenience! I will certainly be back again! read more

This Petco SUCKS. Don't come here unless you need grooming. Lori is excellent, but otherwise this is the worst Petco on the planet, mainly because the employees are unprofessional, entitled and surly. They act like they don't care about their jobs. It's VERY clear they don't give a sh*t about customers or animals. Why these people have customer service jobs is totally beyond me. Do they even know what that means? They show up late, or just don't show up at all... People with grooming appointments stand outside waiting with their pets in their carriers... OR, assuming they show up, you get to stand at the cash register for 20 minutes while they "try to find somebody". Oh wait, here's the guy now, just coming in the door at 8:15! Like, somehow they don't anticipate that customers will need to pay... Here she comes from the back with all the cash trays, line of people waiting to pay with their pets crying in carriers. "Hold on, I'm going to open up all the registers..." ... OR you could just take care of the people in line at this ONE register, since you're the only one at the registers and we've been waiting... No, that would make too much sense and show that you actually care about the people and animals trying to give your store business. If it wasn't for Lori in grooming, I wouldn't step foot in this place. I stopped buying litter and food here because the employees are slow, unhelpful, and they have an attitude like customers are annoying them, even when they see you standing there waiting patiently, it's like sorry, I don't mean to bother you, do you mind doing your job? WHY DO YO EVEN WORK HERE? I always support local businesses in my town, but in this case, Amazon is my friend --- the morons that pretend to work at this place clearly don't give a hoot about my business, so I'm happy to take it elsewhere. read more

Petco Davis has lost yet another grooming customer! NATALIE is gone, best groomer EVER!! She will truly be missed, my sweet husky would get so excited the Friday before her Sunday sessions with Natalie. From past experience's at this location I would NEVER trust anyone else at this location with caring for my baby. I hope Natalie has moved on to better, she was way too good for that place anyway! read more

This Petco location does an amazing job taking care of my kitty. Lori is a wizard in the grooming department and always so sweet. Service is always top notch from everyone here. I'd like to give a special shout out of thanks to Lilia for helping me get back into my mobile account via the app today. Thank you, West Covell Petco team members for always making me feel welcome and providing such excellent service! read more

Shout out to Natalie for doing a great job with Buster's haircut today! With the hot temps coming our way, I'm happy that Buster will be more comfortable during the summer. For reference, Buster is an almost two year old, 14 lbs shih tzu, poodle, terrier mix. He loves playing with a double doodle that has 50 lbs on him, so he can get pretty matted, especially behind the ears. PRICE: I paid $95 plus tip for Buster's bath, haircut, and the Essentials Plus package. His grooming appointments usually cost $85-$100. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Natalie talked about how short she recommended cutting, depending on the level of matting. I gave her free reign on how short his haircut would be, as my only preference is that he isn't overheating too much this summer. Natalie was friendly, listened attentively, and was overall very pleasant to interact with. APPOINTMENT/COMMUNICATION: Setting up an appointment was easy on the Petco website. I received a text message when Buster was ready for pick up. Pretty seamless experience. Thank you, Natalie! We will be back. read more

Unfortunately my 2nd bad experience at this location, employees are unprofessional as they are on their phones and did not bother to ask what I could be helped with. I had to return twice today after leaving empty handed the first time with one of those flea and tick collars whose product is actually kept behind glass up front. Only one willing to assist me was the manager. Super disappointed with the customer service here. read more

Dog Training. Please be advised that your dog, if older than a 'puppy', must be vaccinated against distemper and against kennel cough BEFORE you're allowed in Courtney's #3 training class or the advanced class for gaining certification for "Canine Good Citizenship". This info isn't provided before you register. My son showed up with his dog and couldn't do the the class because he lacked the distemper shot. Ok--I took her to get distemper shot and then over phone talked with Courtney that all was set, only that the distemper record is in my name, my address-- she said that was ok. AND she apologized lack of info regarding Petco requirements before a dog can enter adult training class. During that same conversation, Courtney said our dog also needed kennel cough injection. She provided that info to my son when she turned him away for the 1st class--but he is learning disabled...& getting instructions orally doesn't always work ..Besides, WHY isn't ALL info readily available on the website BEFORE you sign up for any training class ?? -- This is Petco's responsibility.( I am NOT faulting Courtney.) We were willing to get that injection too (and I appreciate Courtney apologizing again that such info wasn't provided on Petco's website) BUT, ever since our dog got the distemper shot she has been ill. We do NOT want to get another shot for her--except the rabies vax. ---- She is 9 years old, regularly exercises, beautiful coat, bright eyes...and now all has gone downhill because of the distemper shot. Trying to reach by phone the Petco--here in Davis-- to cancel class starting in a couple of weeks---hasn't been possible. I've tried repeatedly for last 3 days. So I'm going to have to drive all the way to Petco, nearly a 20 mi roundtrip, to let them know & to get back my money. BTW: Petco still hasn't updated their website so that a customer knows EXACTLY what shots are needed besides rabies-- read more

The petco in Davis is so disheveled that it is hard to shop. The isles are narrow and the people who work there don't care about the customer and when I went in a girl was talking to someone on the phone and the conversation was not suitable for a work place. If you do ask a question they have no idea about the products they have. It's not a bad store if you know exactly what you are getting but good luck getting help from someone who actually knows the product. read more

Completely based off of my experience right now with the floor and register staff. The man, the myth, the legend that is Roman! He saved me today. My poor Aussie has an ear infection and would not let me near his ears so we came in for a muzzle. He kindly showed us our options and expertly a showed us how to fit the muzzle onto our pup. Archer immediately took to Roman and gave no issues. He was the perfect angel with Roman! Roman is magic! The young blonde lady in the register was also so sweet, caring, and helpful with our purchases. Archer also loved her and felt at ease. The best Petco experience ever! Your team is the dream team for this Saturday morning. Bless you guys for giving us the confidence to properly use the muzzle and get these ear drops in for our fur baby! read more

Amazing service!! My daughter wanted a hamster (under my supervision). We went to Petco after we had the worst customer service at pet supplies. We were greeted when we came in. My daughter picked out a cage and food and we had questions on the different types of hamsters. The kind human that helped us gave us the information we needed to decide we would like the bigger hamster. We were allowed to meet the hamster in person before we bought the hamster. After we chose the hamster we wanted we were helped with choosing the right size cage and accessories. Such wonderful customer service. Sadly I didn't catch the amazing human that helped us but we appreciate them and will start doing our shopping at Petco I love the fact that they actually cared about our questions and helped us every step of the way. read more

If your dog is elderly don't bring them here for grooming, they will do anything to get out of having to groom your dog. Even assume he can't walk or hold himself up. After a rescheduled appointment; a drive from Fairfield to Davis, my pets info already on a profile and accepted to be groomed. Only to be told "we can't take him he's too old" they looked for a list of diseases and defects to suddenly find a reason they could absolutely not take him. Another Petco ended up taking him for grooming so it's JUST this one. But according to all the grooming reviews below I seemed to have dodged a bullet. Take you're grooming needs to a professional groomer, it's not worth the mess or drive or even phone call to try and bring your dogs here. read more

I needed some hairball formula cat food pronto when my cat started vomiting up hairballs. Went online to Petco.com and found that they offer curbside pick up in Davis even though their store is now also open to the public. I ordered the cat food and a brush and within 15 minutes, I received an email notice that it was ready for pick up! I went over and followed the instructions - called the number, selected option 4 and talked to a salesperson who quickly found my order and asked where I was parked. Within another minute or two, she brought my stuff out to my car with a smile. Super efficient service and I appreciated every minute of it. Thank you, Petco, for doing a stellar curbside service during the pandemic. read more

I'm extremely disappointed in the grooming service my dog received. I'll never return to this location! On June 14th at 3:30 I had a bath and teeth brushing scheduled for my small dog. It took an hour and a half which seemed unusual. When I picked him up he seemed normal and happy to see me. But from that day forward he was extremely itchy and kept biting his paws constantly. I just assumed it was a reaction to the shampoo used. But it only got worse!!! Today as I was petting him and I realized what seems to be evidence of severe scratching. I told them he had sensitive skin so I'm unaware of what happened. He has a terrible scab on his neck and a bite on his stomach. Very unfortunate. I hope something comes out of this. I'll be calling in the morning as it seems EVERY time I've tried to call since then grooming isn't answering. Below I've attached pictures of the evidence.. read more

Eww petco sucks legit again. I wish I didn't ha ve to come here but it's the place I can get all of my cats things. This place sucks by far. Groomer is very proud about how terrible her customer service is, and she lumped her manger Corey in there too. Please do not come to grooming. They will complain they have no help, no phone line, and that they don't care that they haven't answered your phone. Groomer is by far rude. Imagine how she is with your animals. Cory is the manger. I wish there was a way they could retrain/ hire all new staff and start over because it's the same staff that have been there miserable all this long. read more

I usually do an online pick up order for my dog's food and it's a nice easy process. Staff are friendly and parking is always easy.

The girl working in the aquatics department is very knowledgeable, but I always have to ask someone at the check out counter to have them get someone to help me. I've came to this store a couple times to purchase fish food and medications, but it always seems like they are low on staff. There stock is also not very good and it seems like no one maintains the fish tanks. I always see dead fish on the filter intakes. I only come here because it's one of the closer pet stores in the city. I went two different times for ghost shrimp and mystery snails, but they were all out. However, they do suggest I call to check on the stock before going to the store. Anyways, I did get two gold Inca snails (myserty snail). They were about the size of a dime when I got them and after four months they have quadrupled in size. I would only recommend this place to get snails as I have not purchased anything other livestock from here. read more

This review is going to be based off my experience at the grooming department. My first initial experience in the grooming department for my dog, Barley, were OK. She had different groomers each time.. The groomers got the job done and nothing more nothing less. But I am writing this review to shout out an amazing groomer that I've been going to for the past couple of months. I would like to shout out and give a huge thank you for Barley's groomer, Jeannine, for making our grooming experience such a delightful one! Where to start? When Jeannine first met both of my dogs (Charlie & Barley), she was so gentle and genuinely kind to both. Talked softly, gave them treats, and even took the time to get down on their level to play! This makes such a big difference whenever we come in! She remembers both of my dogs whenever we come in for a visit. One time, she even drew a photo of Barley after her tooth brushing appointment! That was just so sweet and thoughtful of her to do. Keep on the great work, Jeannine, it is greatly appreciated by our little family! For the store department, team members should focus more on customer service, but overall, great prices, and I am happy that this store price matches their competitors. Great for business. Anyway, this only got a 5-star because of the customer care and thoughtfulness from the grooming department! I am a happy customer and so are my fur babies! read more

Lazy staff. I show up and ask if someone can help me with some items in the fish section. The guy says we're understaffed. I walk around to look at some items, there are two guys, one I always see there, he's likely a mgr. or assist. mgr.. I don't think the mgr. heard the guy at the register make that comment. What's up with customer service and lazy people these days(?), it seems to be getting to be a progressively more pathetic state of affairs with retail. Don't ever turn a customer away because you don't want to help them. The guy just continued to sit at the register looking around. There were at least two people that I saw working there. I won't return to this store again. I'll go to Vacaville Petsmart from now one and drive further so that I can receive some decent service. read more

The customer service in this location is terrible. One of the managers is extremely rude to customers and that attitude seems to trickle down to the rest of the staff. This manager refused to sell me a fish based on a complete lack of understanding about what kind of aquarium I had and was extremely rude throughout my interaction while trying to explain my situation and the kind of fish I wanted. Previous times I have frequented this location I have had to wait unnecessarily at least 10 minutes to get assistance despite the fact that the store is never that busy and there are ample staff available to help. I wont be coming back here and recommend you stay away from this store unless you don't mind terrible customer service. read more

Grooming section is the worst. I booked an appointment for my Pomeranian to get a bath and hair cut. The older lady there said it couldn't be done but they could only give him a bath and trim his nails. That's not what I asked for. She asked if he had his shots and I told her yes she asked where I got the shots done at and the certificate. He had his shots and she made a face and comment when I told her where my dog got his vaccinations and gave her the records. Now this was about a year ago. I decided to give them a second chance, today I came in to get his nails trimmed (walk in only, says online) that older lady is still there and said I had to make an appointment for the nail trimming. I told her I tried but it says it's only walk in.... She said yeah but with Covid there's no walk-ins.l and you can't make an appointment online... Covid? Your not wearing a mask, no one is wearing a mask in the whole building, people are coming in touching everything and all your employees touch everything as well and your still saying because of Covid? What difference does that make? Literally this lady is racist. Again this is not the first time I have a problem in the grooming section with the same lady. Second time I come for grooming, second time they do find a reason to not do anything. read more
