    Super matted dog ear?

    I would give them less than one star but the app made me pick 1. The grooming department has the worst customer service that a person could imagine. My dog was turned away today because his ear was too matted to give him a bath. He was turn away 2 weeks ago because his rabies vaccine was expired by 3 days ( I understood that time but they were aware well in advance and didn't give us a courtesy reminder) they came to door with a copy of the vaccination record and the first thing they said was " did you get his vaccines?

    Great place to bring your pets. The employees are super friendly and eager to help. Our dog gets excited whenever we bring her here.

    Greg is an all-star dog trainer! I was having issues with my 5-month old puppy after taking her…read morehome from the shelter. She was beginning to start her "adolescent" years soon and it really showed. She went from being a cute puppy who napped all day to a dog who bit everything, became passively disobedient, and didn't know how to utilize her new found energy. I didn't know what to do so I began looking up dog trainers in my area. Enter Greg. I spoke to him on the phone and he addressed all my concerns. He was very understanding and explained how all these tendencies were natural puppy behaviors. I was a bit hesitant to use his service at first but he offered to come to my house for a consultation. When he came, I saw how well he was able to communicate with Snickers and how much passion he had for dog training. He was very accommodating and offered to take her for board and train right away. Throughout the week, he provided me updates via photos and training videos. I saw how happy Snickers was with him and how much she progressed over the days. He was also very responsive when I asked him questions about her training. After her training was complete, I could hardly recognize her anymore cause she was so well behaved! I would highly recommend Greg if you are looking for a dog trainer who loves dogs as much as you do!

    Me and my dog Brook met Greg for the first time at an evaluation. He explained the overall gist…read moreabout dog training, showed how obedience and play go together, and the Brook's good potential outcome. Brook liked him a lot! He wanted to go with him and be trained by him since day one. I was a bit amazed because Brook is usually a shy dog who takes time to meet new people and new dogs. Needless to say, I hired Greg for the series of the dog training right away. Week 1: Learned basic skills like "come," "heel," "wait," "leave it," etc. Greg also explained me a lot about the dog training overall and went over double the set time but didn't charge anything extra. He really goes far for you. Week 2: Learned more basic skills + trained longer durations to hold "stay"/"wait." Brook started showing a different attitude. His focus became so much better. Doing homework with Brook got easier. Week 3: Continued to work on the commands and focus. We also discussed how treat-driven training will have to eventually go away. Week 4: We set a goal, which is to pass the Canine Good Citizen test and worked on the list towards that goal. Each session went beyond the set time (Thank you, Greg, for your patience!), and I felt like the value we received was more than I paid for! Brook likes Greg a lot and looks forward to seeing him every time. The weekly training will go on for several more sessions. I'm also thinking of asking him to come around once in awhile after the weekly sessions so we can keep the standard for Brook. I appreciate his passion and generosity for being willing to get something done, no matter how long it takes. He is very patient working in any situation. It's really hard to find a dog trainer like him. Greg is the best!

I've been a patron of Petco since the late 80s in WA state. I have been coming to the Rapid City Petco for approximately 8 years. In the 8 years I have had MAYBE 1-2 less than great experiences out of the dozens of visits each year. The staff always goes out of their way to help me with my purchases and answer questions I may have. I have found the grooming staff to be outstanding. My dogs always look great after a grooming appointment with Kylee or Tori. I have had great experiences with several others when having my dogs brushed out. They are ALWAYS kind to my dogs, treating them like they were their own children! They are patient and professional. I feel extremely fortunate to have found these groomers and I hate to think of the day when they might move on. During the beginning of COVID, when stores were trying to figure out how they were going to continue services, things got hectic, but Kylee remained calm and kind, doing her best to please everyone. There are several other employees I'd like to call out for their exceptional customer service and friendly disposition. Several cashiers, Kaitlin is one, and the other two I do not know their names but they are always cheerful and polite. They have even given me discounts that I was not aware of. In my opinion, there are some wonderful people who work at this Petco, making it one store my dogs and I both love to visit! Thanks for giving it your best, it shows!
