If you're looking for a pet paradise, look no further than the Lacey Petco, where furry, scaly, and finned friends unite! But let me shine the spotlight on a true superstar of this pet haven: the fabulous Chris. Yes, you heard that right, *Female Chris*, the pet whisperer with a heart of gold! Every visit to this Petco is a delightful adventure, and I can always count on Chris to greet me with a smile and a wealth of knowledge that makes me feel like a pet-parenting pro. With three rambunctious pups, two bearded dragons, three sugar gliders, and a mini army of bristle nose plecos, I'm practically running a petting zoo! And every time I walk in, I have a million questions, each one met with Chris's patient guidance and enthusiasm. Recently, she opened my eyes to the wonders of female bettas! Who knew these beauties could coexist in harmony? Armed with this newfound knowledge, I swooped in and rescued a bunch of them from their tiny confines, creating a gorgeous underwater forest where they now flourish and dance among plants, bubbles, and the occasional pleco pal. Thank you, Chris, for turning my aquatic tank into such beauty! But wait, there's more! Chris tipped me off that Petco would happily take some of my bristle nose plecos off my hands. So, if anyone out there needs some stunning male or female plecos for their tank, I'm your gal! Either contact me, or they'll soon be at Petco. Who would have thought that this self-proclaimed "girly girl" would be raising roaches and mealworms? It's a wild world of pets, and Chris has been my guiding star through it all! And let's not forget the fantastic perks Petco offers, like their dog food loyalty program and the super handy app that makes coupon tracking a breeze. It's a treasure trove of deals for animal lovers! In conclusion, if you're in the Lacey area, do yourself a favor and visit Petco. Not only is it always spick-and-span, but you'll also find a welcoming crew ready to help you navigate the wonderful world of pets. And a special shoutout to Chris--she's the kind of pet guru who transforms pet parenting into an art form. Oh, and how about teaming up with the TooGoodToGo app for even more community-friendly deals? Imagine the possibilities! Thank you, Petco, for all that you do! read more

Came here to pick up my cat from her appointment and my dog took a whiz. They have lots of cleaning stations since I guess all the whizzing dogs leave a lot of inspiration for each other. An employee ran out put a slip and fall sign up and he insisted on cleaning for me. What a gentleman! I also love the high ceilings that make the store seem like they have a lot of inventory, which they do. read more

I came here because I needed pill pockets for my dog. It was tough to find them when you walk into the store for the first time. There is looots of stuff on the shelves. I guess I looked confused. Someone came to me right away if I needed help. The lady took me to the shelf. Very friendly and helpful staff! read more

If you are going to buy reptiles from here Don't!!!! Get them from a reputable shop or breeder. The older lady that works in the reptile department thinks she knows everything and is super rude. She will sell you all the wrong stuff and your reptile will end up sick or dead!!!! I bought a snake. Now it's dead. read more

My pomeranian's coat grows extremely quick and she needs to be bathed often since she loves to roll in grass. Unfortunately, this makes it very difficult to keep her fur nice and smooth regardless of the brushing/conditioning I do. Tyler in the grooming salon saved my pom's coat and my sanity. She visits him every few weeks to get pampered and looks fantastic each time! I 100% recommend this store's grooming department, they are all so nice, caring and every dog I see looks so cute when they walk out. read more

At this store, I bought 3 angelfish and got one for free yesterday but one died the same day. I went to the store look for an exchange. The water of my tank got tested and it's fine. They could not exchange because they said they only had one left but it's sick. I ended up leaving the store without a healthy fish they should have given me. When I asked for store credit they refused. When I asked for a healthy one in the future they said they didn know and refused to do that. They advised "buy 3 get 1 free" but I ended up have 3 potentially sick and my other fish in the tank might get polluted as well. And the manager did not apologize for this unpleasant situation and did not try solve the issue. Even worse, the manager answered my reasonable request with anger and frustration. Disappointed by the customer service and the fish they are selling to customers read more

RUDE manager. Normally we don't have any issues with anyone from this store. However tonight was as different story. 2 weeks ago we purchased 1/3 Jumbo Goldfish that the store had on sale for 50% off due to the fact that they were relinquishes to the store. The employee working that night clarified it was in fact all 3 that were relinquished. We said we would be back for them. We have been back many times during these past two weeks. We have 4 cats, 2 dogs, many reptiles, fish and a hamster so we frequent Lacey Petco quite often. Each time I checked if the other 2 gold fish were there. They were. I'll add one had a missing eye so it was not hard to tell they were the same fish. Tonight we decided to go back and purchase the other two fish. The cashier "Pearl" rang my husband up full price. He asked her if they were still 1/2 price due to being surrendered to the store like the other fish had been. She was quite rude and refused to even check. She lied and said she personally put those two goldfish in the tank 3 days ago. Completely untrue. We ended up paying full price because we wanted the fish and had they never been relinquished they would have been full price anyways. Fine and Dandy. What's unacceptable is Pearl took it upon herself to make derogatory comments about another employee whom I will not name, to protect his privacy. The things she assumed and said about him were disgusting and she should be fired. She chooses to talk publicly about someone in such a gross way in front of customers. Unprofessional to say the least. I'm very disappointed. read more

Such nice workers... we got an Oscar about a month ago. He's doing well, but he was getting really big. We were trying to figure out what to feed him and will give him the best nutrients. The worker Diana gave us the best advice. She was very energetic and willing to sit there and explain, everything that we should or needed to know about having an Oscar and maintaining him and giving him a happy healthy life. I definitely will be coming back!!! SHE NEEDS A RISE!!! read more

Hey PetCo manager....if you have flea medication on the shelves one would assume you have the product at the register. Instead you had zero product at the register but a bunch of product boxes on the store floor. Your employee was not apologetic, "just get something else" he told me. Nit sure if I will return to this PetCo in the future. read more

I asked for a haircut and groom for my pomeranian-chihuahua. They shaved him down until the back of his ears started bleeding. We treated it thinking it was going to heal back, but no. We are currently taking our dog to urgent care. It looked like his raw skin but worse, like irritated flesh. read more

I stopped by this store recently, on the way home from Seattle, it's a quick exit off the interstate. The store is smaller than the one in Olympia, but had a nice selection of items. I needed a bag of puppy food to mix in with another brand that fussy puppy didn't like. Petco sent an online coupon that I was able to use on my phone. The guy who rang up the sale was friendly and helpful and made sure I got the discount. I can't speak for the grooming services or pets for sale, but they have quality name brand dog foods, including Acana and Orijen, which are hard to find. I just wish the store was organized a little better. One thing that caught my eye was the selection of freshly made dog treats, located by the entrance. You can help yourself, and buy as little or as much as you want. The next time I stop by, some of those dog treats will come home with me. read more

Devan was amazing with our dog. We went in just for a nail trim and he took the time to get our dog used to him and did amazing with his nails. Definitely coming back to this location specifically just for him. Amazing job and super friendly! read more

On October 22 I purchased a Guinea pig from the Lacey WA store. On Friday November 1st she gave birth to two dead babies. ( We had no idea she was pregnant) I called Petco and spoke to the person that sold her to me. She was very nice and worried that the Guinea Pig had been pregnant and nobody knew. The following three days, the Guinea Pig slowly died. My daughter tried giving her water with a syringe but unfortunately she seemed to be paralyzed by some sort of birthing issue. I called Petco the morning it died and asked to speak to the same person. I was told she didn't work there. When I said I talked to her Friday, she said she had not worked there in weeks. (I believe the original person I talked to was Jessica). The woman was extremely rude. She told me to bring in the Guinea pig and I'd get a refund. No embarrassment or apology that we were given an extremely pregnant Guinea pig that birthed two dead babies and suffered until death. ( not the experience we were looking for). My husband put the dead Guinea pig in the same box as the dead babies. He went to Petco and the woman ( Aubra) said she would handle it because she was expecting him. She told him that the whole thing was "weird". He told her that he brought the bodies in. I'm not sure what more she wanted. She did credit my husband the money. Our credit receipt says we were "unsatisfied". Please do not purchase any animals from this store. This experience was awful for my daughter. They literally didn't care. read more

Got our puppy groomed here again today. I usually drop 'em off and do my errands and back in about 3 hours. The staff are really good of what they do and I trust them. read more

I have never gone to a better Petco than this one. There is an older lady with brown hair that has been helping with this cat tree ive been trying to get, which was challenging at first because I had to return a few times regarding the tree, but every time, she continues to listen to my concerns and offer solutions in such a thoughtful way! Also there's two younger gals who have been very friendly, approachable and patient! They went ABOVE AND BEYOND to stop what they were doing and help me fit one of these trees into my tiny sedan in the parking lot. All three of these ladies provided me with the best care, customer service and professionalism I have ever seen from any retail store ever. They even apologized for the pet smell, which doesnt bother me at all because Petco is a pet store! Even when it was busy, these three particular gals had their best attitudes. I definitely recommend this Petco to anyone based on my experiences here this past week and a half. Thankyou Petco! read more

Petco - Umbra and his tree from Petco - Pet Stores Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I wish I had read the reviews before we brought our labradoodle here for a grooming. Our regular groomer was unable to get him in without a long wait because of Covid so we came here because we could get in. Now we know why. I said I wanted him to have a summer cut, about half an inch and came to pick him up and he was completely shaved. As he gets groomed regularly - as in every 6-8 weeks, there was absolutely no reason for this to happen. And they charged us $140 for the worst grooming we have ever seen! They were rude when I brought him in and even ruder when we picked him up. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE!!!! If I could give negative stars I would. read more

It's great to finally have a Petco in Hawks Prairie! I prefer Petco over PetSmart because their prices are usually a little better, and I've had much better customer service from them over the years. Their selection of products in general is awesome, and I can usually find everything I need. Whether you're shopping for your cat, dog, reptile, bird, or other small animal, this is the place. They don't offer veterinary services like PetSmart, but they have grooming on the premises. They also have pets for adoption, so be prepared to fall in love with a new four-legged friend! The store is clean and well stocked, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Some of the new employees are still trying to get the hang of the computer system, but service was great. Be sure to sign up for Petco Pals Rewards and earn 5% back on everything you purchase. After spending $100, you'll get $5 in Reward Dollars to use in the store. The Pals Rewards program also sends exclusive discounts for extra savings. read more

We had exceptional service today at our first grooming visit to this Petco. They were loving to our fur baby and the staff was very friendly to my curious children while we walked around the store for our short wait. We will definitely be back. read more

Not a good place to shop. The customer service is horrible and the staff is not knowledgeable. My son purchased four lizards from this place and they eat 5-6 crickets a day each. They limit you to 30 crickets a purchase. This basically equates to a one day supply of food and then they sell out for 5-6 days. These poor things are starving because they limit and can't keep crickets in stock. They had no problem selling him all these lizards..... read more

I took my dog for grooming but the stylist Hannah L. called me to pick my dog up right after I dropped him off because he is too old climb up to table, barked a lot. AREN'T THE DOGS BARK? I will never go back to Pet Co, Lacey again. Terrible place for dogs & pets. read more

Book grooming appointment online for 20 dollar bath and spa treatment for 28 dollars. But, when I received the bill for payment they had tacked on an extra 10 dollars to the bath. I paid but I will not be bringing my dog back. read more

Terrible and incompetent groomers!! My dog got horrible anxiety as soon as he met the groomers and I took that as my first sign to leave. But then they tell me his whole body is matted and unable to comb through when I brushed my dog literally right before I came in and I have NEVER in the four years I've had my dog had issues with groomers and no groomer has ever told me he was too matted read more

I attempted to take my dogs for full grooms. They had both been there before and the previous time they said they had behaved well. Today, they made up some BS about my dogs were too old due to new COVID restrictions. What a load of #$^@!!!!!!! They've been there before and knew their ages. If their poilicies had changed, they should have informed me when I booked the appointments. Instead, I had to waste over an hour driving there, waiting for their BS and driving back with absolutely nothing to show for it except less gas in my tank. If they don't want to groom senior dogs, fine, but let me know up front and don't waste my time. Additionally, they were ass$^*@s about it. read more

After 10+ years of bathing my Labrador Retriever they no longer will because he is on a generic arthritis pill. They have been informed of this during the last 3 years of bathing him. Today they refuse. Total BS. read more

Avoid walking through the door if you have your dog with you and the male dog trainer (maybe Thomas) is there. He wouldn't stop bragging about his method of training and how cheap it is. I politely listened but was uncomfortable with his approach. If I wanted dog training I would have sought it out. The cashier was polite and did her job, she took interest in my pooch and asked if she could pet him. The store was clean and pleasant. When I checked out I thought I had a $14 antler and it was $21 so having things behind the proper label would be nice. All in all once I broke free from the dog trainer my experience was fine. read more

Don't let Shania with the orange hair groom your dog. She's rude, rough with the dogs and didn't call when my dogs were ready. Is there such a thing as a negative star? read more

It's nice having a pet store closer to my house. It's fairly small but seems to have everything I need. I came here today to find batteries for my dog's spray collar. I had a hard time finding them so I asked for help. The batteries were locked up. The girl that was helping me asked a co-worker near by if she had the keys, she did not. The girl was annoyed and grunted under her breath and left to get the keys. She did not return for a couple minutes while her co-worker, that she talked to in front of me, walked past me without acknowledging me by saying the other girl was on her way or something. A few minutes past and I saw the girl working the register which is fine, but she could have said she had to ring a few people and she'd be back. When she finally came back to that area, she started working o something else. I had to get her attention again. "Excuse me... Did you get the keys?" Her response was "*grunt* No." and she walked off again. When she came back with the keys she apologized, but I was already beyond pissed. How rude! read more

This store is gross! It smells like urine when you enter. There were clumps of hair on entry mat as if a dog had been groomed there and they let the fur fall on mat and left it for customers to walk through and drag into store!! Litter box lids are $30 alone without the litter pan! I will not be shopping here, I get better service and experience from Amazon. read more

This review is for Jamie in the fish supplies area. She is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and highly skilled. You can tell she enjoys discussing good fish care with customers and cares about the fish customers take home. She deserves recognition from Petco as a stellar employee. read more

I give 2 stars only due to a VERY small handful of employees at this location that are very friendly and helpful. Whereas the other are either rude or just miserable that they have to be there. Multiple times Ive been in this store and have witnessed the GM (Jake?Jacob?) leave the register while there was a huge line and only one other cashier (who seemed very upset they were left by themselves to handle the line and was very apologetic for the wait) to disappear into what I am assuming is the office. Very unprofessional. In all aroundness, the store always smells and is disheveled. Nothing is where it should be and honestly, half of the products seem out of stock. The store is small and on certain days there are giant pallets blocking most of the aisles and if not those stacks of boxes. Grooming I will never use here. Ive heard from multiple members of my family as well as friends about how their dogs have come out looking chopping or in one case absolutely unable to walk and had to be carried out to the car to be taken to the vet. After a couple groomers left apparently the quality dropped drastically as well as safety apparently. I just suggest either going to the Olympia store or a small mom and pop shop instead. read more

Didn't call us to tell us our dog was ready to be picked up, then said "next time try not to leave your dog here so long" when they finally answered the phone my third time calling. Very rude staff and the haircut doesn't even look good. Take your dogs anywhere else. read more

Poor customer service. Not busy at all. Walked in with the intention of purchasing fish. Walked over and looked at fish, 2-3 employees up front not doing anything, 1 at tanks busy. No one spoke or asked if I needed help. read more

First time visit. Not very welcoming. Nor did they show compassion for my dog shaking all over. Acted like we were causing them to go out of their way....especially when I didn't want the vital care package. I said I wanted to try it first as my dog can be difficult. Didn't flinch or care. Picked him up after 2 hours...was he ok, did he hate some thing, what can we do better. NOTHING!!!!! Not going back. read more

I needed an urgent grooming for my dog, they fit me in right away and did a great job. The staff was very pleasant and professional. Ted looks and smells better than he has in months. read more

We've been taking our dogs here for the past three years for their grooming needs. The staff is always very nice and do a great job. My one complaint is that they didn't respond to my voice message I left to make an appointment, a bit frustrating. I called a few days later and was able to make an appointment for the following week. read more

Do not bring your pet to get groomed here! My puppy has never had any problems anywhere else getting groomed. However after one grooming session here, he left traumatized and filled with anxiety. I tried bringing him back, but he immediatly began to have terrible anxiety. The employee is very unknowledgable as she claimed my dog had matting when his breed are not prone to matting and have two coat layers. Not to mention, she was very rough trying to put the leash on so we left without any service. read more

I wish I was exaggerating when I say that I had the worst customer service that I have ever experienced tonight on my first visit..... Luckily, I spoke to a manager (yea...THAT bad) and felt that the girls behavior is unacceptable.. Back to the store: I LOVED that they have a huge selection of natures balance dog food and even in small pellets! My husband loved their Star Wars dog toy section. Prices are slightly higher than Petsmart and store is smaller but it's great having an option in lacey. read more

The groomers at Petco, showed a great deal of professionalism and caring for my two dogs, in getting their nails done. Even though one of my dogs doesn't like anyone, even me, messing with his feet. The groomer who took care of him, showed patience, gentleness, and at the same time authority, and was able to get the job done. My other dog, is easy going, but the groomer showed just as much gentleness, to him that he was still comfortable while getting his nails done. read more

I have been a long time customer of the grooming in this Petco. I have absolutely loved the service and the people who work with my dog. However, the last time I went there, the service I usually get had a price difference. I asked what the difference was now and they told me along with services such as nail trim, ear cleaning, and a brush that they are now grinding the nails. I did not see the point but I enjoyed the package. However, the groomer failed to mention all of the other changes they made to the package. They also took away a number of other aspects while also raising the price. When I got my dog, her nails were not trimmed in the way her breed should have them and her ears were not clean at all. I don't understand why I am paying for a service that is less while the associate half-asses everything they do now. Never going here again! read more

The store itself is about 3.5 stars. Pros: The location is convenient, they usually have the things we need in stock and the staff is always friendly. Cons: The store could use a good, deep cleaning and a real/legit puppy play time area. So why the 5 star rating?...Danika (puppy trainer) and Tyler (groomer). These two are absolute rockstars. Both are super friendly, skilled in their craft and handle our puppy/dogs with genuine care. It's employees like them that have made me a repeat customer. read more
