One of my friends brings his dog here and they do a really great job. Just attempted to book and Im totally ok with them being fully booked but if you answer the phone have some customer service skills. No youre welcome after my thank you, and just got hung up on. Not friendly at all. read more

This is a decent Petco. I get Hill's Science Diet Sensitive Stomach for my cats here, & it's at a doable price point. Sometimes they're out of or running low on other types of Science Diet. They have a large selection of canned wet food & broth too. It seems like they've put a lot of effort into this new center display for fresh, organic dog food. I wish there were some more special organic options for kitties too. read more

Cashier was rude. Told my autistic daughter the beta fish we were buying was going to die because the tank wasn't big enough, when it's literally been living in a cup for months in their store. And when she asked if I had water conditioner for it, and I told her we did) (which I ordered on Amazon bc the price at petco was ridiculous) she rolled her eyes at us. Won't be back to this location. read more

No customer service. They lied. The groomers and manager all stick up for one another when someone screws up. I heard my groomer screaming and crying in the back. The manager walked away from me, the groomer was hostile. No one from customer service has called me back about the incident. I saw an elderly woman show up for an appointment and they never bothered to tell they canceled it due to their groomer being on medical leave. read more

Nice staff, but slow check-out service. I ordered online and picked up in-store and it would've been quicker to go in and pick the item up myself. TIP: Stuff online is cheaper than in-store. I ordered hemp oil online for $26 and it was $35 on the shelves. So that's the benefit of in-store pick up!!! Also, I know many people aren't at Petco for their bathrooms, but they're are absolutely gross. The paper towel was empty and I don't know what was growing in their soap dispenser (it didn't work either, but I am glad it didn't). Very pleasant staff!!! read more

I have my dog's nails done every few weeks and have been happy with the grooming staff, especially Tatiana. I pay $21.99 per month for vital care that gives unlimited nail trims and teeth brushing. Trying to use this benefit is a nightmare and I am usually cheated. I don't think the cashiers intend it but Petco makes redeeming the Vital Care benefits very difficult. read more

The Vetco team really came through for us when we had an emergent, time-sensitive issue. They were patient, accommodating, and most importantly, great with our dog. Highly recommended! read more

VETCO never disappoints . Now the grooming staff always with an attitude , talks back to the customers and is never clear with their response . Never friendly never accommodating always giving people a hard time . Worst staff especially the one always sitting at the counter with the pink hair super rude, she rudely raised her voice to me over her not being clear with her response. Definitely was not appreciated .With the amount of money clients spend with their dogs petco should be hiring better staff in there to ensure their customers are satisfied overall . They say we can walk in for nail trimmings and the girls are always rude like if we have ten heads for wanting to cut our dogs nails . Staff was just eating McDonald's on the counter and giving attitude . If you hate your job leave it's not our fault . Pick your groomers wisely cause if they treat customers bad imagine our dogs . Don't recommend . Overall the service in the store and from the VETCO is always in point always respectful . read more

Very inconsistent service, decent groomers booked up for months, not veey clean. Also, traffic pattern has grooming clients running into store customers. Only use if you are desperate. Forgot......prices are OK if you're rich. read more

After have gone to this Petco location more than 2 dozen times in the last 3 months, I am under the firm belife that this location and it's workers are so fortunate it's located in one of the busiest and most successful complexes in the entire state of RI, because if they weren't, the doors would have been permanently closed here a while ago given my experiences and those of past reviews I have read as well. My experiences here are as followed: - My girlfriend and I got our first puppy in September, and we were so excited to bring him here and get a Petco card. After applying for my card, I went around trying to use it at other stores, only to find out the cashier we had entered our rewards card number wrong, and did not add my information to it, so since September, we have been in limbo with my card and information in the system. In this time, we have had trouble having our rewards credited and each location trying to find my info in the system. We have tried fixing it with stores and customer service 4 times to no avail. All because this Cashier at the Providence location rushed and didn't enter info correctly. - This location is exceptionally dirty. We have gone into this location with our dog only to have to pick him up out of fear of him eating pieces or broken plastic on the floor, kibble that is to hard and large for him to chew that leaked out of bags or spilled, and just random toys on the floor. To boot, the amount of times we have found pubbles of dog pee and poop stains on the floor left over is just disgusting. - The staff here is hit or miss. Some of them are nice and we'll informed, but there is a few here that just REALLY sour the experience. Fake smiles, bad attitudes, misinformation on certain puppy related events. We avoid this Petco as much as possible and only go here if we REALLY are in a pinch. I would not recommend this store to anyone. read more

Worst place to take your puppy for a haircut. Wasssssste of money..donate it to the less fortunate better....thank me later read more

My groomer listened to my instructions and groomed my dog accordingly. She was also polite and respectful. Petco gets a thumbs up from me. I am tired of dealing with the Divas at independently owned grooming parlors who groom your dog the way THEY want to regardless of your instructions. I've been to almost every local grooming parlor in the area over the last 18 months and was always disappointed... My money was well spent... Good job, Petco!! Im going to be a regular. read more

I caution any pet owner to read all of these reviews carefully. There is a reason why their ratings are so low. These types of stores are nothing more than factories, with a neon light. I didn't believe it until I had a terrible first-hand experience and which both my dogs became very ill (vomiting blood) from treats that I had bought at the Providence, RI location. Providence Petco themselves could have cared less, and diverted me to the manufacturer of the item. Of course then the manufacturer blamed Petco for mishandling the item, and we went back and forth for a month and nothing was resolved. I don't think that the company is bad for things like chew toys or dog clothing. They also have fairly standardized pet training. I suggest never buying a pet from this Petco or any Petco. The only benefit to this Petco is that they sell crickets, and they're one of only two places in a 10 mile radius from me. read more

I had a black Moore goldfish for about 4 years. I stopped in to buy some food and supplies, and started talking to an associate about tank mates that could help keep the tank clean. I asked if there were any fish safe to put in the same tank and they confidently reassured me a pleco would be perfect. I returned the pleco the next day because overnight it ate my goldfish's fins and left big red rings on it scales. When returning the pleco I explained what happened, and the associate stated "yeah no they must have been new i don't know why someone would put those together." My fish died the next day. read more

I like Petco. They've got a wide array of foods, toys, and other pet accoutrements that are easy to find and are kept in a mostly clean environment. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful, and what amuses me the most are the pets people bring in to shop with them. They sell a great variety of Fat Cat toys - these are in my opinion (obvi) the best cat toys out there, and my cats go nutso for them. I come in here for a single item and leave with 5 - pretty clever merchandising, Petco! read more

For PET GROOMING: my regular groomer is in the hospital and I needed a quick nail trim. Ran over after work at 4:15. Came in and groomer is already shaking her head no before I even walk in. I ask if there's any chance she can quickly trim my dog's nails, she tells me no, she needs to finish the (almost done) dog she's working on and they're closing at 5. Ok, I can appreciate that it's near the end of the day, but the longest a groomer has ever taken to trim my dog's nails is 5 minutes. It's 4:15 not 4:55. Guess she won't be getting that tip. read more

The one and only reason I'm giving this particular Petco location a 4 star rating is because of Bruce, one of the groomers. If it weren't for him, I would have no reason to ever step foot in this dump, but he's wonderful and he knows how to take care of my pooch and her very demanding fur. I met Bruce when I brought my dog in to get her nails trimmed and he fell in love with her instantly; Judy, my dog, is a Shetland Sheepdog and Bruce has a Collie; both breeds are very similar and have practically the same coat. Right off the bat, I asked if I could book an appointment with him to have him groom her and we set it up. I dropped my dog off around 1 in the afteroon and picked her up around 4 p.m. 3 hours is actually an extremely decent time frame, considering other groomers I've taken Judy to, have kept her there for almost 4-5 hours. When I picked my little Judith up, I was THRILLED! She looked absolutely adorable. He gave her a "summer cut" which consisted of trimming down her top and rough undercoat and shaving her belly. She also got a thorough brush out, wash and blow dry. To finish it off; he put the most adorable pink bow on her head. She was SO soft and fluffy and she smelled and looked nice and clean. Bruce is professional and knows what he's doing. If you own a dog that has long, long, long fur and you're looking for a reputable groomer - book with Bruce - you won't be disappointed. read more

Petco - Judy - after her grooming appointment with Bruce. What a difference! - Pet Training Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This review is of the grooming only. I have to say, that *usually* my dog comes back to me looking mostly like how I've described and asked, but the real issue I have is that every. single. time I bring my dog there, she ends up with yeast infections in her ears from moisture getting in there during the bath part. She has floppy ears and I ALWAYS request cotton be placed in her ears to prevent this from happening, but every time we go there, within a few days I'm having to call our vet to get drops to clear her ears up. It's incredibly frustrating and it always ends in discomfort for my dog. After 3 times of this, I'm not sure I'll be going back again read more

This is probably one of the busiest Petco's I've seen. I've been to my fair share! This is in that University Shopping Center where there is also a Whole Foods, Boston Market, Staples and McDonalds. Like any other Petco, you would expect to find a nice array of animals including rabbits, hamsters, various types of birds, fish, snakes etc. What really surprised me was that they also had ferrets. This may be the first time that I've seen them. Is that because they're illegal as pets in other states? I would say that the one negative thing about Petco's in general is that their selection of harnesses for bigger dogs is really lacking. Many of their products are geared towards purse dogs and well frankly that doesn't really help those with big dogs. They have a nice array of dog toys which I always manage to purchase before I leave. Remember your Petco club card so that you can reap the rewards! Petco tends to be on the expensive end of pet supplies but they always manage to find their way into convenient shopping locations for their customers! read more

so many dead fish and they all have diseases like ich. even if they dont look like they do, they will develop the spots soon after

Generally we have a good experience with Petco grooming, for us it's close to home and affordable. But we just found a 1 1/2" cut under our pups ear that was not mentioned to us. The groomer mentioned our pup was whining and barking in the cage which is not like her to bark. Clearly she was feeling pain. We'll be looking for a new groomer. read more

Petco - today we found this 1 1/2" cut underneath our pups ear. There's no way the groomer didn't know they cut her and they didn't say anything. - Pet Training Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

They have BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE for one, they claimed my dog nipped the scissors. Even though after that grooming appointment behind his ear was matted Smfh. This store is really horrible!!! Don't even send your dog for training. read more

I went there to buy a tank and two guppies. The lady working there was incredibly rude (Colleen) and refused to sell us the fish because apparently we needed to have a tank set up before coming in. We were willing to do this but she was extremely rude and wouldn't explain the process of setting the tank up and why it was important. She then proceeded to tell us we needed a minimum of 10 gallons for two tiny guppies. Meanwhile they cram like 30 fish into a 5 gallon tank. I asked if in-fish cycling would be an option, but she didn't answer my question and told us to come back in a month. I went in there willing to spend my money and they were completely unreasonable and unhelpful. Worst staff at a pet store I've ever seen. Hope they go out of business. There's a reason the rating for this store is so low. read more

I just moved to town and had a prescription diet that needed to be filled for my cat Sinatra from his Vet. This whole process is new to me. A Team Member named Colleen approached me and helped sort out any confusion I had about the process. Gave me our prescription card, helped me sign up for the Petco Rewards program and saved me some money on his food! She stopped what she was doing and really took the time to listen and help in every way she could. Customer service like that is hard to come by these days, and she went WAY higher than above and beyond! read more

Just an awful experience. I bring my pup here for grooming when I can't get her in quick enough at the indie place I bring her. Still took me a week to get her in between calls not returned and website issues. I drove out in a snowstorm because she need a groom that bad. It was a harrowing drive. When I get there I have to wait outside because none of the grooming staff are wearing masks. Apparently no one has informed them that they can still give COViD to each other and to animals. After a few minutes the receptionist puts on her mask and checks me in. She asks about medications and I inform her of the new meds since she was last there. Long story short, she turns me away. Too much liability to see a pip with syringomyelia (not that they seem to have heard of it). Would have been nice if they had asked me those questions when booking so I wouldn't lose an hour, risk my safety and lose a week booking somewhere else. That's what I get for giving my business to a box store. Never again. read more

Had an appointment in January which was canceled l don't know why , now my goldendoodle is over due for a haircut and it's February and they want to shave him all the way down..... I feel it's the easiest way out, no work involved, just cut!! I'm so disappointed and after waiting for 6 weeks l really have no choice but to leave my buddy with these scalpers. Should of known better!! Last time they shaved all his belly and balls and he was cut also!!! Never again with all these different girls I get!! Never the same girl, and there all kids. Plus they also take 4 hrs. Plus.... My dog drank a whole bowl of water when I got him home read more

This review is specifically for their grooming salon. I have taken my labradoodle to 3 other local groomers and did not think they did a good job despite the steep price tag. I decided to give Petco a go and Jodie does a WONDERFUL job on my labradoodle. She listens to what I want and does exactly as requested. Jodie is so detail oriented and so good with my dog. Her report cards are more detailed than my vet's lol and the price is very fair. read more

Do not come here if you are in a hurry. Seriously. This is a HUGE store, but I have yet to ever see more than one person at the cash register. It's Petco, so you know they have a ton of stuff, including a decent selection of organic and higher-quality pet foods too. Still, they run out of things...like Frontline. Luckily there is always Aqua-Life Central, which carries some dog stuff. Honestly, I shop here reluctantly. I'm glad they don't sell puppies or kittens, but I'd much rather give my money to a local pet store! read more

The store is your typical big-box pet store, they have everything you need if you own a dog. However, the grooming salon leaves a lot to be desired. I've been twice, with two groomers, and both times my poodle mix's cut was way overpriced and not done well. Neither time did they trim in between the paw pads or around the groin like I asked, and the most recent time my pup ended up with a major brush burn on her chest - she had to wear the cone of shame for a week!!! Go somewhere else if you have a high-maintenance coat dog. read more

I recently dropped off my dog for grooming services, which I was hesitant of doing in the first place. I'm so upset I actually convinced myself to take him here.... Once he was picked up he had an uneven haircut, he had to be taken back so they could attempt to fix it a bit. Once we got home he couldn't stop licking himself and whined when people got close to his belly area. Upon closer inspection we noticed that he had cuts all over his belly and private area. This place does not care about your pets, I have NEVER gotten my dog back with cuts and scratches from any other groomer. If you are going to be working with peoples pets, who are like family members, please be careful and pay attention, otherwise do not go into the field. They feel pain same way humans do. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

The last time I brought my dog here she came back cut so short she was pink. She had scratches from the clippers. Never ever ever again. Not only that I find their pricing ridiculous. I vastly prefer Heaven Scent in East Providence. Much more reasonable cost and much better job for the dogs. read more

This is a pretty solid Petco. We were looking for something for our Pitbull but didn't quite find the right accessory so we bought the standard yummy treats and new tug toy. At check out I realized the 10% coupon I grabbed expired in August and the cashier called the manager to override the discount, yay! Additionally the mgr brought me a bandaid that I asked for and Neosporin. What a guy!! My only gripe with most Petco's is that they are almost always understaffed. We had to creep outside the employees only room to wait for an associate to help us find what we were looking for. Side note, the staff, although understaffed, are always awesome and helpful. read more

Oh my God. You wouldn't believe how much fun I had last night in my living room. With my cats. Blowing CATNIP BUBBLES!! HA! Genius! They have this and a million other toys for your pussy. Plus a huge selection of food and litter of good quality at a moderate price. I haven't ventured beyond the cat section, I just couldn't it was too much fun. read more

I have to say that my dog (an older puppy/young adult) and I are getting very helpful training at the Main St. Petco. It's a very positive experience and my dog really looks forward to seeing Joy (the trainer) each week. Most importantly, I've learned a lot and I started seeing improvement in my dog's behavior/listening (to me) skills right from the first class. After five weeks, with the weekly class and practicing at home, I'm also starting to see real improvement in her behavior/listening to me while walking out on the streets. read more

This Petco is terrible; their fish / aquarium section is abysmal. They're always out of a ton of stuff and don't seem to restock it ever. What kind of pet store doesn't even have aquarium salt? Every time I've been here I haven't been able to find what I need. What's the point of having a Petco nearby if I'm going to have to order online anyway? read more
