Yelp.com Review - by Andrea M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I'm basing my review on the grooming department. We rescued our dog from a shelter in Pinole and needless to say, this dog looked like he'd never been groomed. He's a Bichon Frise so his hair grows...

1.0 of 5 stars. I actually liked this place a lot more awhile back, but it seems they've gone down hill over the past year.I bought my wonderful betta here about a year and a half ago, and he lived a long happy life....

1.0 of 5 stars. I asked specifically to leave my dogs mustache and beard, trim only the body. She was butchered. The mustache was shaved off, the beard timmed longer on one side than the other, a chunk missing on...

Yelp.com Review - by Tito Y.

3.0 of 5 stars. Petco is the Safeway of the human world. It isn't the Berkeley Bowl, Trader Joe's or even the Target/Cosco crowd. Petco is what it is... a giant warehouse, converted to move pet supplies from far...

Yelp.com Review - by Stella L.

1.0 of 5 stars. Took my puppy here for a haircut. They completely shaved off the hair between his eyes and gave him some kind of faux-hawk. The result: looked like an ugly gorilla cone-head.I loved him less.

1.0 of 5 stars. I've never taken my dog here for grooming (Kutz for Mutz rocks! Try them) but after witnessing a young woman attempting to groom a small dog, I had to warn others. This poor little dog was...

Yelp.com Review - by Ellie S.

2.0 of 5 stars. Well, all I have to say is that it is the only pet store I've been to, so I can't really judge. However, I really don't think they should keep parrots. Parrots are meant to be free. Come to think...

Yelp.com Review - by Yan C.

2.0 of 5 stars. My experience at this Petco was alright. The employees are inexperience, lazy, and rude. Most of the products you find are overprice (they are not organic food.)

Yelp.com Review - by Margot L.

1.0 of 5 stars. Awful service. We went in, looking for on-sale dog treats and a "floating magnet" type fishtank cleaner. All the treats were at least $5 a bag and none were on sale, not even the PupPeroni junk food...

Yelp.com Review - by Jill D.

2.0 of 5 stars. I've never really been a fan of Petco and this one isn't much different than the others. Except it seems really disorganized.Which, last I checked, was not a desirable trait to have in a retail store....

1.0 of 5 stars. After a hard's day at work and a 1 1/2 hour commute, I decided to stop by your El Cerrito store this evening. After spending over one hour filling my cart with over $200 worth of dog products,...

Yelp.com Review - by Debbie L.

2.0 of 5 stars. Let me start off by saying that every animal that my friends and I have ever gotten here have died quick and sudden deaths, be it a mouse or a fish. I'm talking about within a week. Why is that?...

Yelp.com Review - by Hanson Q.

2.0 of 5 stars. Not many people who work here seem particularly happy about it. Petco works in a pinch if you need to get your dog fed that night, but you're paying a premium over a place like Pet Club. One time I...

Yelp.com Review - by Leigh B.

1.0 of 5 stars. Wow wow wow. Man, Yelp seriously has to invest in a "zero star" rating system. Do NOT--and I repeat for emphasis--do NOT EVER take your dog here to be groomed. The staff is trained in grooming via a...

Yelp.com Review - by kimi w.

3.0 of 5 stars. This is like the Wal-mart of pet supply stores. I kinda feel ashamed for even shopping here...There's a lot of stuff, it's huge, the business practices are shady and probably not ethical, etc. That...

Yelp.com Review - by Bill B.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's plenty big and has entry doors on both sides of the strip mall, so you can get into from either the front or back parking lot easily. The fish department, the only part I use, is fair-sized, but...

1.0 of 5 stars. If I could give this place 0 stars, I definitely would. But since I have to give it one star, I will qualify that star because I did get my two rats here aout 6 months ago and they are doing well....

1.0 of 5 stars. Petco is depressing. They cram so many rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs into one tank, especially during the holidays when they want to turn over their inventory. Except the inventory is alive, and...
