The Petco staff here always seem helpful and friendly. Our kids especially love visiting to see the colorful fish, birds, amphibians, turtles, and the kittens and cats available for adoption. The grooming staff also appear incredibly patient, caring, and knowledgeable with the dogs they work with. We really appreciate having this pet store at The Orchards, as it's a fun place to stop by while we finish errands, pick up to-go orders, or grocery shop nearby. read more

I went to this store on my way to adopt a kitty from the Contra Costa Humane Society and needed a carrier. I walked around and only saw hard carriers. I wanted the fabric kind. I saw a lady stocking the shelves. After saying excuse me twice she finally acknowledged me standing there. I asked if they had any other carriers besides the hard ones. She said no and turned around. So rude I waited to do this review hoping I would get over it - I haven't. I went across the street to Pet Food Express and got a soft carrier and good customer service. read more

I popped in to Petco on Christmas Eve before my class at Crunch I am fostering an adorable puppy who doesn't know how to toy yet- so I was excited to see these prices. I took 6 of them up to the register to pay. I asked the cashier to let me know how everything was ringing up- I had some Christmas items as well. No sign posted near the Christmas display either. She said they were on sale, but not very forthcoming with either a percentage or if it was all Christmas items When she was ringing up the Halloween toys they were coming up around $4-5 each. I told her I got them from the 1 for $2 and 3 for $5 bin. So I had been expecting that to be their price. She said that only applies to certain toys in that bin. What??? That's crazy I said. I told her I would go put them back. I took this picture to show her- when I came back and asked why they weren't honoring the posted price she said that's how they were coming up on her register This is why you still have a huge bin of old toys I didn't have time to wait and talk to a manager before my class- so I just got a few Christmas items. Very disappointed in my experience here for this outing. Your employee could not have cared less about being helpful, seemed unaware of products and pricing. read more

I took my two dachshunds in for baths and toenails. I was so so thankful to have Ali care for them. She was patient and listened when I shared my littlest had to be muzzled for toenails (once and not again) by a different groomer. She confidently and thoughtfully shared that petco would not allow that and she wouldn't need to. And she didn't! Great experience and highly recommend Ali! Professional, attentive and so efficient! read more

I have been a customer at this location for many years, but recently the quality of customer service has noticeably declined. The employee Alice consistently provides poor customer service. On multiple recent visits, she has failed to greet customers, avoids eye contact, appears visibly irritated, and is frequently not at the register. When she does assist, her attitude is unprofessional and unpleasant. Customer service should be a priority, especially for long-time customers. Unfortunately, my recent experiences at this location have been disappointing. read more

I went in today to see the cats because I just like to, they were so cute and friendly but I took a closer look inside their little cubbies they keep them in and seen how dirty and completely full the littler boxes were. Actually insane and nasty those cats don't deserve to live in such horrible conditions!! Something about cats is if their toilet isn't constantly clean they will find somewhere else to do their business. So when they decide to take nature take its lead on their bed or something the workers shouldn't be surprised. Absolutely ridiculous read more

Super friendly and helpful staff but more importantly very good with my diva chihuahua. I'm always impressed with the grooming services and their patience with him. read more

I went to Petco today. Omg the coldest most unwelcoming, unhelpful man at the front desk. Short tempered, impatient person. I asked for key not say a thing, handed me the key. I returned it said nothing. When I asked a question later, he snapped at me. When I said thank you after purchasing something. Said nothing. This place pales in comparison to customer service at the far superior petfood express. I will never go here again. read more

This is a shout-out to Allison K at grooming. She has been grooming my dog for the past few months and is a rockstar! She not only makes my dog feel comfortable while grooming but she also make me feel less anxious about leaving my dog with her. She is amazing if you ever need a great groomer for your dog it is Allison! read more

Went to get grooming today and we were paired with Randal and oh boy! She was fantastic with Mochi, if I wasn't in such a rush I would've definitely gotten more of the tips from her, but she did Mochi's cut and trim, bath and de shedding and everything else... her cut and trim job is the best Mochi has had hands down. She is shaped up well and it still looks natural. I'll update with pics when we go out later. Thank you Randal! read more

I just left the store and did not buy anything that I came to purchase. The cashier there at 9:58 am was extremely rude! When I got to the register with my cart he was on his cell phone. He had a baseball cap pulled down low and a face mask. I could not even see his face. He acted as if it was an effort to look up at me. There were free samples of food with several types of dog food behind the samples. I was just coming from the vet and wanting to purchase food that was lamb or salmon based. When I asked what type the samples were he became agitated and said that I could see for myself. I left and will not return to that location. I will continue to shop at the Pet Co o read more

I went into the store with my goldendoodle this afternoon for a look-around. It was warm out and I asked if they had a bowl of water available for my best boy.

Petco will honor the price your item scans for on the register, not the price of the item on the label on the shelf. Not going back.

I been a petco shopper for a very long time . I love alk that brands of foods they have for all the different animals, pretty good selection of dry and wet food. I noticed they're fishing section could use a little more products filters and cleaning supplies. Would be nice of they had more promotion in-store as well. For the most part it's a nice store seems like they have like a high turnover ratio of employees. read more

I took my Cavapoo to be groomed by Tia at the Petco on Ygnacio Valley Road. I am really happy with how she groomed my dog. Tia is very easy to chat to and seems to love what she does. She was up front with what she was going to do. No surprises. Lottie was ready to be picked up in 2.5 hours. I've been trying to find someone to work with after a bad experience at Pet Smart - and I think I've found her. I hope that Tia will be there for a long time. read more

Took my dog here a couple months back for a nail trim, I normally do it myself but I was very busy and it needed to be done since my dogs nails were very overgrown I made an appointment dropped him off and he was done in 20 mins but once my dog was in the car I looked at his nails and they were the exact same length I even touched the ends of them to feel if they were rough from the filing/buffing and nope nothing was done, more recently I needed to get my dog a bath and a nail trim and my other dog just a nail trim and this petco carries the dog food they eat as well so I figured why not give this place another try and I go to schedule an appointment for a bath on the app and see the available times then I decide before I actually schedule it I'm going to call ahead and just schedule the bath and the al a crate nail trim since you can't schedule just a nail trim on the app and the lady who answered was saying they had no availability and I was confused because I was staring at the app with availability and she proceeded to go off on me and say the groomer is off at 6 ( I was trying to schedule for 3:30/4pm time frame ) and I said ok can i just schedule my dog for a bath since I'm seeing availability on the app and I can bring my other dog in as a walk in for a nail trim? she then proceeded to lecture how the app isn't accurate and how if I come in she can and will turn us down so I shouldn't even bother trying so I told her thank you and I and hung up then I made the appointment on the app and 10 mins before my appointment time I get a call saying that something happened with a dog in the grooming salon and the groomer is now not able to take my appointment and they are out with the manager at a vet, I then called the store to see if they had something in stock and ironically the manager picked up so I then asked about the grooming service and was told that the grooming salon closed early that day since there were no appointments for the day and the groomer had personal plans. You get a lot better service at the petsmart across the street and they have the same services but cheaper and actually treat their customers well (and actually preform the service you pay for) read more

Customer service was horrible. The lady at the cash register looked like she didn't want to be there. The scowl on her face was horrible. I was an easy customer. I knew what I needed, picked it out, and went straight to the register. Didn't ask any questions or anything. I felt unwelcomed and will not be coming back in the future. read more

My go to place for my cats favorite cat food. They go crazy for the chicken flavor tasteful. I love how they have cat adoptions here too hopefully all these beautiful baby kitty find homes. Pet store is pretty empty when ever we visit so it's nice not having to wait in lines and dealing with a lot of customers inside the store. The ambiance is like any other small pet store. They could have a few more items for all the different animals everyone owns. Overall it was a nice visit. read more

I have been taking my dog to the Concord location for grooming and finally was able to schedule an appointment to the N. Walnut Creek location since it is closer to my home. (Scheduled the appointment May 24, 2023). I just got a text cancelling my appointment without cause. I tried calling the location twice and was on hold. I finally spoke to customer service and their reasoning was, "That stylist is no longer with the company so the system cancelled your appointment." I did not choose a stylist, I chose "Any Stylist". That is not an acceptable answer. The customer service guy is trying to help me, but this "System" that Petco Grooming is using is about as useful as styrofoam on toast. The next available grooming appointment is in August. In the meantime I need to go to another location for my girl's grooming. Do better Grooming department at N. Walnut Creek! read more

I have been a loyal petco shopper for over 15 years, and I have never been to a store that has been out of stock of so many cat items. I was looking for specific canned cat food and they where all out of a few different ones I needed. And they just didn't have much treats ,toys and etc for cats here. Not to mention when I was in line the only cashier that was working talking for like 20 mins with the customer while the line was getting longer. I don't mind when you talk with the clients, but you should be aware of the line and not make people wait , or get another cashier to help out. read more

First may I say, I've never given a bad review. This one deserved it We went to pick up an online order, and despite ringing the bell several times, it took my husband to go over and get one of the three employeesthe woman within earshot and ask if one of them would ring up our sale. Additionally, the box that we had waiting for us had been previously opened, and we asked if we could have the one that was not previously opened. We were told we could go get it ourselves and then the woman turn to her coworker and said "you know, it really hasn't been previously opened! ". Not sure how else the top got ripped. Now, After all is said and done. I got a reminder that I have never picked up my product, so they clearly didn't finish out the sale. Conclusion : rudeness, laziness, unhelpfulness and incompetence. read more

This location discriminates. I came in for a walk in nail trim for two dogs. The clerk said that they didn't have any openings for walk in appointments even though all stations were completely empty. I asked to schedule an appointment then and she said that they are booked until August 11th (which is a lie because I checked online). It seemed like this individual just didn't want to service my dogs. I never had this issue at the previous petco location before I moved. I ended up going to another location maybe 10mins away from this one In Concord and the staff was pleasant and the clerk actually checked with the groomers to see if they could squeeze my dogs in for a walk in and they did, no attitude or anything. I had issues with the staff at this location before when I brought one of my dogs on for their rabies shot. They lied on the paperwork and said my dog was too difficult to measure all of their vitals. We were there for maybe 5mins total for check in, paperwork, and waiting to get the actual shot. My dog was well behaved, didn't snatch away or anything. read more

We just moved to concord and having been regular users of Petco grooming services in San Francisco, we booked our toy poodle in for her first grooming. We dropped her off at 2pm and were told she'd be ready in two hours. Four hours passed and worried, we called the several times over the course of 45 mins before finally getting through. We were told there had been an "incident" and that our dog's leg had been cut. They told us they were going to take her to the vet and so we got in the car to meet them there. They weren't at the veterinary clinic. We drove to Petco where one of the groomers told us a Guest Manager had just left and should now be at the clinic. When we met the Petco Guest Manager (whose job as she put it, is to "keep the guests happy") at the vet's clinic and asked what the delay was in her bringing the dog to the vet, she said she couldn't find a crate to put our dog in, and that when she finally did, it took two of them to get her (12lb dog) into it - clearly terrified!!! So in more than FOUR HOURS they'd given her a bath and a "pre-cut", cut her skin with a blade and totally traumatized her! The Petco guest manager told us the district manager was unwilling to share his contact info (email or number) with us and we were told to contact customer care instead! Even worse is that I believe this is a regular occurrence. The vet told us they get dogs from this Petco on a "regular" basis. When we asked how regular, she said "not weekly, but often. I'd say at least monthly." What sort of business are they running?? When we first couldn't get through on the phone and thought something was wrong, my fiancé remarked that he questioned whether he should leave her there at drop off as the groomer asked if she was a biter, to which he responded that she'd only ever attack with kisses. Her response? "Because I was bitten by a chiuuwawa earlier." Irrelevant, and perhaps the sign of a nervous groomer? Our dog has been to so many groomers and never had a single issue. Totally ridiculous that in 4hrs they not only failed to groom a 12lb dog, but that they left her hacked, scarred and trembling, and with a trip to the vet! Not to mention that when we got home that night we found an additional wound on her throat in addition to the wound glued by the vet on her thigh! We'll never darken their door again! DO NOT TRUST THEM with your pet! read more

Ordered a fish tank online that was on sale. When I went to pick it up, it was damaged. They found 2 more in store that were also cracked. I asked when they would get more or what else could be done and was told they are being discontinued so there was nothing that could be done. I asked if I could exchange at a different store and was just told that I'd have to pay the difference in price because other stores won't want to honor that price. So they refunded the money and I still have no fish tank ruining my day as I had been waiting a long time to find one at a price I could afford. I will not be going there again. read more

Who runs this place? The last two times I've been here I've dealt with the rudest employees. I went to pick up my online order. When I got to the front cashier he just stares at me. I say I'm here for an online order. Says nothing, stares me down like I'm bothering him. Then he disrespectfully says door dash?! I say no. I ask him do you need anything to identify my order I show him the order number to speed things up. Which is what he should have just asked in the first place. To sum this up, train your employees to be more courteous or get them off the register. read more

One of the main reasons for visiting Petco is to find a wide range of pet related products conveniently in one place. However on multiple occasions, and counted an empty shelves and the absence of essential items I needed for my pets. It is frustrating and convenient to go to the store with expectations of fighting everything required, only to be met with consistent disappointment due to their poor inventory management. The frequent shortages not only inconvenience customers but they also raise questions about petco's commitment to meeting the needs of pet owners. It reflects poorly on their ability to maintain sufficient stock levels and cater to demand other customers it is disheartening to see companies of Petco statues consistently failing to provide the products they are advertised. Here's a picture of many products that are not put on the aisles just sitting there not being attended. And I couldn't find any employees on the floor to help me either they only had one person at the register which should be unacceptable. read more

I'll start by saying I've been coming to this location every week for feeders for a while now. Usually customer service is nothing great but not horrible (minus one employee who I will mention at the end of this review). The last few visits I've had the pleasure of dealing with the lovely Alice which none of my interactions have been pleasant. It always goes the same way too. I ask her politely for feeders which then she responds rudely in some way or another. First couple times she responded with "How many" without even acknowledging me or looking in my direction, but today I got a "Can you ask somebody else I'm busy". I then ignored the attitude and proceeded to find someone else to get me feeders. I then unfortunately had to go down the same aisle Alice was doing her extremely important task on to get meal worms, she looks up at me in the middle of the aisle, doesn't move so I literally have to squeeze around her with my dog. She then says out loud "Excuse me" which I thought to myself was kind of nice because of what a rude human she was, but I was wrong. On the way back out the aisle she says "You should've said excuse me" which caught me soo off guard considering she, the employee was the one who saw me in the way and refused to move even an inch. Anywho, her and I end up exchanging words. I then go to checkout and complain to the manager about the bad experiences I have been having with her. Alice follows me up to the register and continues to antagonize me as I'm trying share my experience and we end up getting into another argument (mind you in-front of other customers, how professional lol). This is by far the most unpleasant worker in any retail store I've encountered in a long time. Now all that being said, I will say I give a completely separate 5 stars to Cher at the same location. She is the only one there who ever goes above and beyond and gives amazing customer service. Too bad she is switching locations soon and this location will go back to mediocre. read more

Middle aged woman that was clearly annoyed that I needed help. She was stocking shelves, never offered any customer any assistance. I needed something I had never purchased before (lg mouse for snake). I found the location (refrigerator), looked, found rats. There were boxes on the top rack but I did not know the difference between 'hoppers' and other tags. You could not see the actual packages and I was not going to pull everything out. I decided to find someone that knew/understood the terminology. Annoyed body language. Annoyed tone in every word said to me. I used to have a store. This would never have happened there. I'll probably go across the way to the PetSmart though I have been going to Petco more than 20 years. read more

Awful construction noise in the store today. I told the store manager she should complain to her district manager about it because it is hazardous to her employees' ears and can cause long term damage. I don't know how anyone with an 8 hour shift can stand it. Its unreasonable working conditions. Also, there are lots of animals in there. I had a dog and they have dogs in there for grooming. My dog would hate it and be very scared in a noisy environment like that. The poor groomers having to hear that and the dogs who already hate being groomed being even more uncomfortable and unmanageable due to that noise. If I heard that I'd walk out with my dog and not leave her to be groomed. Also they sell animals including fish, birds, tortoises. Turtles, hamsters, etc.. All those poor animals having to listen to that racket all day. Very bad on Petco to torture their employees, animals, and customers with that racket. At least as a customer I can get out of there fast. The employeees are stuck there for theit shifts and the animals are stuck there until either the construction is over or their bought. Poor animals! This is nothing against the employees just against corporate for leaving the poor animals in unlivable conditions and torturing their employees with very loud construction noise. read more

Me and my daughter went there to adopt a cat this morning. We were told that they would only sell the cat to us if we kept it indoors. We told her if we told her we would do that that that would be a lie. She then said that she would make a call to the supplier of the cats and see if it would be OK if the cat could go outside under supervision. She walked away and made a phone call and came back and told us that we could not have the cat at all even though we had decided that we would go ahead and honor the contract and keep the cat and doors. Evidently we were judged, and that was not to be believed, especially according to the cat supplier who told us that that is what she had told them and that is why we were refused the adoption of the cat. Feel free to ask me for a copy of the email that they had sent us from the seller and I will do so. I hate to give such a bad review but I would hate to see somebody go in there and have their heart set on getting a cat like we were and we denied over somebody's judgment. Rest assured your store will never see a dime from us again. read more

I do NOT recommend Kaitlin at this Petco Grooming. Our dog is timid, shy but sweet. She's been going to the groomers for two years now - first at a small groomers and then the last few times, the PetSmart Grooming in Concord. Because she is shy, I always ask the groomer afterwards if she did ok and they always have said she's great. I have watched her get groomed behind the glass windows at PerSmart and was always surprised that she's on the table and not making a fuss even with dogs howling around her. According to Kaitlin she was "very hard to groom" and "was making herself fall off the table." She recommend we book VIP service if we ever come back. (We will not be coming back.) I told her our dog had been to several groomers and they told me she was great, and Kaitlin says, "They probably just didn't want to tell you." The groom was just ok - trimmed her legs too skinny. Now that I know what a good groom looks like - I'll be going back to my small private groomer (it is in Pinole, so a bit of a drive) But I should have trusted my gut that I shouldn't bring her to a big chain place like Petco! read more

I have been a loyal customer here for over a year. I buy my fish, dog food, and have taken dog training classes here. After today I will not be returning. I was declined service by the shift manager (Michelle) because she did not want to sell me a fish. She asked me about the size of my tank and how many fish I already own. I should have just told her that is not any of her business but after answering her questions she told me that she would not sell me any fish because she believed my tank is too crowded. I have owned an aquarium for many years and I know what I am doing. To be honest I felt like she was power tripping a little bit. I filed a complaint with corporate and will be buying my dog food from Pet Food Express across the street. I will not be giving them my business anymore. read more
