    Here's pickle with a full belly of freeze dried turkey  that the staff recommended

    I just wanted to say thank you to the manager and employees here. My cat recently was diagnosed with cancer. I've been having a hard time trying to find him the right food to get his appetite going. I'm in petco quite a bit and ever since his diagnosis the employees have all been SO helpful and kind to me and giving me good recommendations. They always ask how I am when I go in and ask about my cat. And a special thank you to the woman manager with the dark hair (I'm sorry I don't know your name!) she has been so beyond caring/empathetic and helpful to me during this hard time. It's very kind when people ask simply how you are doing during an emotional time. I enjoy everytime I get to see her. Thank you for being such amazing people and checking in on me and my kitty.

    Fancy Goldfish and Cory Catfish.

    I didn't expect much from Petco, just wanted to get a fancy goldfish for my granddaughter and my wife. I was blown away by the service and knowledge that Danny provided. It was our first fish and aquarium purchase in many years, and Danny went way over the top with the care he took with us and guidance for getting the tank acclimated before we purchased the fish which thankfully was still there a month after we let the tank cycle for a good transfer to the new tank. We've been back several times since and he is always so happy to help with our questions and pass along useful advice to rookie fish owners. He's way better than the associates at the other big name full aquatic centers in the area. Thank you again Danny!

    Extremely sad, lonely and lethargic Chinchilla waiting to be bought in a deep discount.  This broke my heart SO MUCH!
    Shelley M.

    I usually use my Petco app to buy my dog's food then I go pick it up (which is always something of an ordeal.). Today I decided to just stop in and was forced to walk past a cage containing one extremely sad looking chinchilla being sold for a deep discount. I'm guessing he's unwell on top of being deeply lethargic and depressed. They also had a Guinea pig with no hair (just patches) who was also on sale. This is BULL$***!!! I'm disgusted and horrified and so, so sad for these poor animals! I seriously thought of buying him then looking for a rescue to take him but I do NOT want to participate in this gross industry of selling live animals like this!!! But I do know I will no longer give ANY Petco store, my business until they end this cruelty!!!

    Best groomer
    Wendy L.

    Yana is hands down one of the best dog groomers around! You can tell instantly that she's an animal lover in general. She's personable, & absolutely fantastic with my dog! I love taking her to Petco, specifically this location in MV. They text you appointment & pickup reminders, which is a nice touch. Thank you Petco!!

    I would give them 0 stars if I could. I had an issue with the pricing for my grooming. Corporate dismissed me and the manager called, but did not provide a solution. If you see this sign in the grooming area, make sure you bring your magnifying glass to see the +. I payed $30 for wash, plus $26 for holiday package and plus $2.99 for material fee (????), plus tip. Total was $69.22 for a PUPPY wash!!!!!!!! I expected to pay $26 for the holiday package, not in addition to my wash. Not to mention they have me a scarf that did not fit my dog and was super ugly. Overall the review is not about the wash, it is about the poor customer service. I explained my confusion about the price, and no one cared, they basically told me the customer is wrong. They have lost a customer and they don't see to care. Order online from Chewy, you will get 5 star service from Chewy. I will find another groomer.

    Before working with Brad, my dog Cash struggled with severe separation anxiety and reactivity…read more Leaving him home alone felt impossible, walks were stressful, and I was constantly worried about how he'd behave around new people and situations. I met with several trainers before Brad & had little to no success in the areas we needed most, I was exhausted. Now for the first time ever, I can leave him home alone without the overwhelming anxiety and guilt that used to come with it. Our walks are actually enjoyable again, and I feel confident bringing him around friends and into new environments. What I appreciate most is that the training gave me the tools and confidence to understand and communicate with my dog better. I have my freedom back, and Cash is happier and more relaxed because of it. If you're struggling with separation anxiety, behavioral issues, or just want a better relationship with your dog, I can't recommend Brad enough. The impact has been life-changing.

    Like many reviews have mentioned, we too were skeptical about seeing results within one in-person…read moresession. Nonetheless, we are so happy we found Brad! My boyfriend and I took in our cattle dog, Ollie, as a stray almost 4 months ago. Quick background: Ollie was found tied to a fire hydrant outside my work. Ollie is the sweetest boy, however is very reactive to other dogs and is a bundle of energy that presents as endless jumping and nipping. We have a senior Saint Bernard at home in which Ollie has been too rough/aggressive with her, even when our Saint Bernard makes it known that she doesn't want to be bothered. We tried water sprays at home and other attempts at training to no avail. We began to feel helpless as our biggest concern was his relationship with our Saint Bernard, as it got to the point where we felt we had to consider rehoming him. During our session with Brad, we immediately saw results which had us dumbfounded. Like other reviews have mentioned, his technique is not "mean," but is a firm mindset that Ollie requires. All the while, Brad emphasizes when to correct your dog and when to praise him, while stressing the fact that these techniques are not made to scare your dog, but rather establish a leader mentality while simultaneously letting the dog know that you provide love and safety. Of course, like any training, one can only be successful when carrying over these learned techniques at home, but Brad left us feeling confident and ready to continue the work. Even when we got home today, we already had seen a shift from Ollie. As for Brad himself - he is very approachable and really looks to understand both the dog and all the circumstances that come with them. You could really get a sense of how personal he is. We definitely recommend him. Thank you so much, Brad!

Contacted the Dog Guru and he wouldn't travel that far and charged more than what the dog is even worth...he recommended one of his apprentices Eric, so I contacted him. Eric travelled all the way from south OC to LA county on a weekend to work with my parents and the dog. He came in with an alpha mentality and immediately identified the major problem; my parents. He was very patient with them and taught them about dog psyche and why the dog was acting the way she was. He transformed the dogs behavior, but most importantly my parents. He was so effective that we had to figure out ways to get the dog to misbehave so they could practice the new techniques. Eric is very knowledgeable and cares about helping and showed in the way he worked with all of us. I HIGHLY recommend his services and he is worth every penny. He was a friendly guy and about diagnosing the real issue. Eric even followed up a few days after training to make sure everything was going well and the dog is still doing good up to this day.

My dog is a 7 year old Pom mix that I rescued 6 years ago. He has always been on the aggressive side and I never understood why.. I searched yelp for the top trainers in OC, many voicemails were full, Trainers weren't taking appointments until next year, or the cost of the training was upwards of $3,000. After leaving Eric a voicemail he called me back and asked me several questions about my dogs personality and the issues I was facing. We set an appointment for the following Sunday and he even reached out the day before to confirm. Eric arrived early for our appointment and brought the tools needed to work with my dog. He helped me to understand my dog and why he was behaving the way he was which a total paradigm shift for me. We went through several rules and guidelines that I would need to set with my dog around the house, then went out into the neighborhood to test out his preferred method for walking an unruly dog. I was shocked with how fast the training was with BIG results. I highly recommend! How I would describe my dog training experience with Eric: 1. Professional 2. Simple 3. Results Oriented Thanks Eric!

We reached out to Kara at Pet's Eye View seeking closure--not only for my husband and me, but also for her sister and littermate, Sofie, who seemed sad and less energetic after the loss.Kara knew so much about both dogs and immediately picked up on their very different personalities. Her compassion and insight brought us tremendous comfort as we work through our grief.

It was absolutely wild. I have no doubt that she was communicating with him. I initially reached out to her to learn how to improve our 12-year-old dog's life and learn more about his inner world. I didn't mention this to her, but I wanted to know if he was in pain because he has a high pain tolerance and doesn't typically show discomfort. The first thing she said was that he was in significant, constant pain, and she made several suggestions on how we could provide relief. She even walked me through how to do somatic relaxation on him to help reduce his anxiety and taught me strategies to implement energy work. I love that Kara doesn't just tell you what's coming through from your pet, she actually educates you in the process. The session was both joyful and heavy, with beautiful images and heartwarming observations, and also discussions of where our dog wants to be buried and potential health problems. I'm so grateful that Kara shared all of this with us, I feel like I can give him an even better life now. My only regret is not doing this sooner. If you're considering booking with Kara, just do it. She has a gift.
