We've been working with Tim as part of the Petco dog training programs for almost 3 months now - He has been absolutely fantastic! Nash (my pup) started through the beginner puppy class at 11 weeks old, and is now in the advanced class. The socialization and dedicated training he's received have been fundamental in helping to curb early onset reactivity or behaviors. Tim's patience and ability to control a room of 4-6 pups ranging in temperament and energy, while providing tailored experiences to each for their specific needs, is impressive and incredibly appreciated :) read more

This review is based solely on professionalism. If I could give the grooming department negative stars, I would. My dog has been groomed at various Petco locations for years. Yesterday, I made an appointment for a bath and haircut and included a note explaining that he has a medical condition, along with the name of his veterinary clinic. Shortly after, I received a text from an employee stating, "That sounds very sketchy," and that they would rather not groom my dog in his condition. I immediately called and spoke with the grooming manager. I explained that I had no problem providing a note from my vet and that I understood Petco has policies they must follow. That's exactly why I was willing to provide additional documentation. Instead of calling me to gather more information--such as what medication he takes for congestive heart failure--they simply labeled the situation as "sketchy" and said grooming can be stressful for dogs. Every groomer who has worked with my dog in the past has treated him well and never had an issue. I canceled my appointment and found another establishment that was willing to listen and handle the situation professionally read more

Hi, this is for my dog. I've been taking her there for five years plus there was a man there who is very skinny and tall. I don't need to say his name but I'm sure you guys can figure out who he is but literally he knows not to cut mydog's tail. He then cut her tail completely short and then told me that he could not cut her hair on her body and then I even pre-tipped him. I stopped going to him years abut he was the only one that was available. Wrote in a previous review on Google that that's dog abuse why would he cut her tail the shortest could be and that was the only part that he can cut I'm highly disappointed with him and it just makes me sick that he did that to my. read more

Stopped in to this location because it is the closet location to my job. Interesting/disappointing experience :( Let's jump right into this review. I went specifically for the Bootique Monster Jumbo Plush Dog Toy, XX-Large. I have been waiting for this item to go on sale and it finally did. I was excited to get it. Let's break it down - Regular price $60 Sale price $45 Per Petco website an additional 20% off on purchases of $40 or more in-store or online - see attached screenshots I walked in and quickly located my Bootique Monster. I danced happily to the cashier to be told, the $45 sale price would not be honored and neither would the additional 20% off. The item was ringing up $60. The cashier offered to price match but the manager said no. Manager asked if I could show her the sale price online, which I did. I was instructed to buy the item on-line and they would pick it now for me. BUT, I'm standing right here in front of you ma'am. Behold, the confusion on my face and the frustration. You thought I was going to leave my monster behind. Not today. Even in my confusion, I did as instructed. I really wanted this monster. I stepped to the side and placed an online order for my monster. About 15 minutes later, they handed me my monster. Now, why did this circle of a transaction need to take place. No clue. I'm befuddled. No customer service. No professionalism. No desire to work with the customer. I'll be contacting Corporate tomorrow. Between tariffs and inflation, good customer service at the least should be given. I'll stick to my neighborhood Petco. Shout out to the Ladera location in Inglewood - City of Champions. They treat me right! read more

Clean, fully stocked and service was friendly. We just stopped in to find a cat tree for our 18 year old. Guess the only complaint is that most of the cat trees didn't have prices and after not seeing any staff on the floor for help we had to wait in line to get a price. read more

This store is a prime example of why some brick and mortar stores should go out of business. After struggling and waiting with the carpet I bought while the cashier had a lengthy convo with someone about her vet it was my turn. I had a $5 coupon which she assured me went through. It didn't. She instead c charged me twice for an item. read more

Dirtiest store ever. The carpet going into the store entrance is disgusting. The elevator used only for the store is gross. No shopping carts in store. Stock on shelves missing or brands removed suddenly for "new policy" ... I need to drive farther to just go to the Santa Monica store. They must have a better manager there, read more

The groomers dealt with an xl dobie/shep mixed like champs. I've tried to cut his nails, I've taken him to other places that couldn't do it because he growled read more

They will charge you more than the listed online price constantly. Same product as their website, but more money at this location. This is the "Westside Tax" in action. They will match the online price, which means they know they are charging more for this location. They'll call it a national price, which is absurd. It's a scam to get you to pay more. Check the online price. Show them. Get a price adjustment. Otherwise go online. No one needs to keep these scams running in their neighborhood. People think they can charge more money because they're in a Westside neighborhood. Time to see what Chewy.com has to say... read more

I had a terrible experience at this location. I took my dog for grooming here and after leaving my dog for the full 2 hours, her face and neck wasn't even groomed, yet I was still charged the full price. When I brought this up to the manager, Ryan, he was extremely unprofessional. Instead of taking responsibility or offering any solution, he told me to take my dog somewhere else and blamed the issue on my dog, even though she has been groomed multiple times elsewhere with no problems. When I asked what I can do he suggested "desensitizing" her with vibration sounds, which I tried at home with zero reaction. My dog is very friendly and calm and many people have held her with no issues. The manager even said they "don't have time" to properly groom her, which says everything about the quality of this place. I left extremely disappointed and frustrated. If you're a new customer please save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Hours are wrong for this location. Came at 8:30am and a rude man was sitting inside and looked quite annoyed. Didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes and looked away. Should've known after reading all the other reviews... don't waste your time and go to any other pet store. read more

This review is solely for Ren, who was so incredibly kind and helpful during my last visit. I frequent this Petco a lot since I work in the area and there never seems to be any shopping carts. Whatever! Not a big deal. But it sucks having to lug around a 35lb container of litter every time I come here. Today, I decided to grab two 35lb litter containers and of course, no shopping carts. So I stacked them on top of each other and just pushed them to the cashier with the help of a kind gentleman who was also shopping. Ren rang me up and offered to bring me a cart and then offered to just help me carry it down to my car. Ren was extremely helpful and they did it with a smile on their face the whole time. Ren carried one 35lb litter container while I carried the other and then did a cart run so that other guests could use them. Ren went above and beyond for me and I really appreciate their help. Thank you so much Ren! read more

Bought a hammock that tore in 10 days. Went to return and buy a more expensive one, along with more items. They would not give me a credit for an item that is obviously brand new because I didn't have a receipt. I did not expect to be returning it. They lost a customer for life! Poor customer service. read more

Petco is a national pet shop super store. This one is located on Westwood Bl just south of Santa Monica Bl in Westwood area of LA. Subterranean free parking, elevator and stairs to the store. Have been here several times in the past with my previous and my present dog. The store is big, offers pet food for various pets and species, grooming and veterinary services. This review is focused on the veterinary services provided by VETCO a division of Petco. Vetco is staffed with a licensed veterinarian and certified assistants and offers mostly vaccinations and a general check up. It is not an animal hospital and doesn't have the equipment and or services to handle emergency type care. For annual and necessary vaccinations: rabies, heart-worm, Bordella, etc., preventative necessary care. Vetco offers these vaccinations and great service. Once you've registered and are on their system, you'll receive reminder alerts. That's exactly what happened over the weekend, when I received an alert that my furbabe Fendi needed her vaccinations. Luckily, I already precooked an appointment and the vet and staff were ready to examine and administer the shots. The current veterinarian Dr Naoko Miura was gentile and kind with Fendi and patient to answer some of my questions. The entire staff were helpful and they all wore face masks, gloves, practiced social distancing and had plenty of hand sanitizers for covid care. So glad Vetco had this system because during covid, it's a challenge to schedule an appointment without waiting for days or weeks. Additionally, the costs for the vaccinations are more reasonable than other veterinarian offices especially in Beverly Hills. So for those who didn't know, some Petco store do offer vet services, just inquire as to when they are available and you can book an appointment online. All your pet's vaccinations records are organized, accessible and convenient. Recommend! read more

Their delivery service failed to deliver our paid for order. A call to the Westwood manager revealed that Petco uses DoorDash to make deliveries. The manager refused to contact DoorDash about our order and even cancelled our prepaid order. We contacted Centinela Fred who uses Roadie's for delivery and said they would send out an emergency order if Roadies failed to deliver. Centinela's customer service was superior, too. read more

PETCOOOOO! I think this place is over-hated. I've been there twice very recently because I adopted an amazing kitty last week. The staff is super helpful and had great recommendations for all things cat. I can't speak on the grooming but I recently witnessed their new manager respectfully and patiently deal with an out-of-POCKET costumer. Good stuff Petco. Maybe they changed management recently? I'll be back soon :) Thanks petco! read more

They missed a prepaid delivery and when we called the store the manager refused to help us and told us to call DoorDash their delivery service. We tried to escalate to a regional manager but so far no call back. I guess they don't care about our $150 per month purchases Contrast this lack of customer service with Centinela Feed who will send out a 2nd delivery if the first one is missed. read more

Petco - Pet grooming, the worst service ever they were rude with my dog and they did a terrible job. - Pet Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Zero understanding of some of the hate for this place. It's a PETCO, they have an average selection of slightly above average pet food and supplies. For a PETCO, this is a very good store. Nice layout, good parking and friendly people working there. They sometimes have amazing deals with sale/clearance items. My dog doesn't care if a holiday is over, it will eat the 80% off and still fresh snacks! Only negative for me is the grooming is overpriced. Sometimes they have deals to make it reasonable but it can approach $90 for a medium sized dog with all the bells and whistles. They do a good job though. read more

I like this store because of the free, easy parking and also because they sell the specific kibble I feed my pooch. It's definitely not the most sanitary store I've ever been in (which is odd because they have potty stations inside the store). The last time I was there wandering around looking for Christmas goodies for my fur baby I noticed dried pee puddles in at least 4 different isles. GROSS. I'm not sure how often they mop (or clean the floors) but I was pretty disgusted that a) the owner of the dog who pissed all over the store didn't clean it up and/or b) the employees didn't clean it up for a while, it was dry in all 4 spots. Just big yellow, crusty stuff on the floor next to isles of food, toys, beds and leashes. I wouldn't be surprised if the dog piss was on the items on the bottom shelf. YUCK. It's a pet store and I understand that pets have accidents but still... AT LEAST mop the floors sometimes. I think I'll try Centinella Feed next time, hoping it's cleaner inside. read more

We had a great Vetco experience here. The vet was super nice and my dog got his yearly vaccines here. Super fast service, and no vet fees! Then you can walk around to buy some yummy treats for your dog for being a good boy after his vaccines. Great and friendly staffs! read more

yes this place is cool. It's pretty good size. I came in the get my new kitten ( KITTY ) some play things and.a scratching post, catnip toys, a laser to put on the wall and watch my KITTY freak out. LoL I came in on a Saturday and there was a moderate crowd not much. It Seems like they had a pretty full staff of workers.Everybody asked me if there's anything that I needed and I told them ,"no I'm doing great. I'm Just checking out all the stuff" . I ended up getting about 10 toys a scratching post which had a great price. This place is cool. It's my second time in there and It's my new pet store now.The dog section has a lot better selection of things compared to cat stuff.. they have fish and I'm sure I saw birds too. Oh and they have a grooming spot as well So i'm in, I'll recommend this place I forgot to take pictures. read more

I went to Petco today and the service was bad. It was slow to checkout at the register. It seems as though whenever I visit this location it is understaffed. I often find what I need, but stock of live crickets seems to be lacking. read more

The grooming services are definitely five star. I went for my first time today and had a great experience. I used a 20% coupon (which you can easily find online) and added the pick 3 spa package. Everything was $50 which is super reasonable. My puppy was going in to be groomed for the first time and has a bit of separation anxiety and cries when he's not with me but they said he did a good job. He came out looking beautiful, fluffy, and wearing a cute little bandana. He also smelled amazing. Honestly a great place to bring you pup for a reasonably priced grooming. The staff are awesome and are super knowledgeable and friendly. There is free 1 hr garage parking and the drop off/ pickup process is very easy. In terms of COVID- 19 they accept contactless payment, require face masks, and provide hand sanitizer throughout the store. Taking one star off because the store is a little disorganized and seemed understaffed but we found what we needed. read more

avoid Petco at all cost horrible service I went in for grooming. I booked my appointment a couple of days ahead only to have them cancel me for some BS reason. I had taken her there about a month ago and no problem. They did a mediocre job and apparently this time they gave me some BS excuse, simply horrible, very disorganized I would never recommend them specifically the PETCO grooming on Beverly read more

Do not groom your dog here. Lol. My dog came back looking like a rat. Head wasnt cut but the rest of his body was and his tail is partially bald. The cherry on top was that they made my dog wait here for 6 hours even though we set an appointment with them. Trash, awful and will never come back here. read more

A-OK seems to have a bad Yelp rap when on the contrary, by my definition, A-OK means adequate/doing a good job on all counts: service, merchandise and competitive pricing. This Petco location meets all of the aforementioned criteria but is currently not, however could be going forward, my go-to for our furbaby's needs as it's walkable. Service is sincere, pleasant, unlike the snarky experience I had at a Pico Boulevard competitor and I have not set foot in that store since. Merchandise is extensive here, although in two prior visits this Petco was out of the flea control our pup needed as it was this time. Manager willingly checked her office to see if what I requested was not yet restocked. It wasn't. Not a regular but I believe there is a rewards program should I choose to become one. There's a groomer on site. Just Food for Dogs has a splendid kiosk too. Park free under Petco or at a meter on Westwood Boulevard or in the surrounding residential area for 2-hours free during weekdays. read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had. I normally take my dog to get a bath at PetSmart, he has pretty bad separation anxiety so the groomers always try to interact with him and make him feel safe before taking him to the back. Well Andrew F. looked like he didn't even want to be working in the first place. Looked miserable and seemed to not care about my dog's anxiety. Fast forward I get my dog back and he didn't even seem sorry that all he got done was bath him, yes i still received him WET and he still tried to charge $80 when all he did was BATH HIM AND LET ME PICK HIM UP WET. What a fucking joke! This wouldn't have happened if he was good at his job, I've never had this problem at PetSmart. The worst customer service ever. Andrew F. read more

I won't shop here anymore after seeing this: betta fish confined to tiny pint sized containers, swimming in their own filth. They were barely moving and some looked dead or nearly dead. I don't like caged animals in general, but this is really unconscionable. I don't know how we came to believe this sort of thing is okay. We wouldn't put a hamster or a gerbil in that small a space so why do it to fish? Is this supposed to be clever or convenient? There were a couple of guinea pigs who were also in way to small a cage with hardly any room to move around and nothing to play on. read more

I made an appointment for my 19lb poodle mix. I went online looked at the estimates for size and saw for my size dog it started at $42. Arrived on time and checked in. I asked about the full groom and was told it was $59. Christian was most emphatic that would be the price but didnt weigh my dog. I said OK and then he said there is a $5.49 charge for shampoo and materials. So that will be $69.98 plus $5.49. His assistant raised her eyebrows and looked shocked. I told him you just said $59.99 plus $5.49. No he said, $69.99 for a small dog. I asked him to show pe a printout of what he will be charging me and he said he couldnt. Bait and switch and Christian is a very surly an tricky character; very intimidating also. I said even your assistant was shocked when you raised the price 30 seconds later!! He thought he could bully me into paying whatever he wanted because I am old and have a foreign accent! Dreadful man. When I told him he made me very uncomfortable he said "well I'm uncomfortable grooming your dog". I said why would you punish the dog because I am questionning your pricing ethics. I said please groom my dog, he needs it, it is 95 degrees and he needs shearing! No, he insisted. I said this place is for the animal not for me, how can you blame the dog because I caught you out trying to cheat me! He said No. I will not have your dog groomed. I spoke to the manager and he said he would speak to Christian privately. He would not allow me to be a party to the conversation. He came back and told me the assistant NOW agreed with her boss! Total cover up! Horrible people. The manager was very pleasant but the grooming is separate and he had no pull. Be sure you know ahead of time what you will be charged ... they are artful scammers! read more

I have had nothing but good experiences everytime i shop here for my new puppy. Everyone that i've encountered has been very helpful and accomodating. I keep seeing all these reviews of bad customer service but i have yet to see it. However, I do see how see some of these reviews are accurate. Everytime I go there I wait about 10-15min for the 1 cashier to check everyone out. It's not their fault so I cant get upset with them but the manager should request more help to get customers in n out quicker! I'm sure you've lost more revenue just from the loss of customers than you would have just hiring an few extra employees to tend to customers. I will still keep coming back just for convenience and the service thus far but these reviews should absolutely be taken into consideration. read more

The WORST PETCO PROBABLY IN THE WHOLE COMPANY. MY SUGGESTION: Don't ever SHOP THERE Customer service can't be called service. It is horrible and have never experienced anything like this The manager by far is extremely nasty & it is very apparent that he either hates his job, &/or animals & humans as well I ran a retail business and if he worked for me I would have fired him on the spot Rude, nasty & miserable to all the customers that were there or simply ignoring the other customers I wasn't alone in my frustration. I spoke with another woman who said she would never go there again. DO NOT SHOP THERE. THERE ARE OTHER PET STORES IF the company thinks this is ok then they don't care about the customers or their business I wouldn't have given them even one star but you can't post otherwise read more

We have been going to this location for our dog's grooming for a year now. Luis is very nice and great groomer. Today we dropped off our dog. Unfortunately, Luis was not there.
