Petco

so Clinton Petco has a lot of good reviews… That not only shocks me, but disturbs me as well. I visited this Petco and was greeted by an extremely demeaning male employee who had a horrendous attitude. He questioned my selection on fish and treated me with total disrespect.
I was able to put this aside, as all of us have our bad days, but what happened one week later broke my heart. One by one, each of my precious fish that I have had for years all began to show evidence of white dots on their bodies. they had somehow contracted a disease. this disease manifests itself into each and every one of the fish in the tank and slowly kills them. I was sent over the edge. My fish were completely helpless to this disease and the fact that the fish I bought from this Petco was the carrier of this disease really irked me. I went back to get a return on my fish, but they claimed it was a water issue. I reassured him that my water had been spotless, but when dealing with hotheaded misogynists, nothing will get through to them.
If there’s one thing I can suggest, it is to NEVER buy fish from this Petco (or any others, for that matter) not only on account of their terrible customer service, but more importantly, because their diseased fish will spoil your tank and kill ALL of your fish. Save yourself and buy from local breeders or a local pet store (NOT a chain)

I brought my mini poodle to 4 other groomers before Petco opened in Clinton. He is terrified of all of groomers… probably because the groomer #1 cut his leg and it bled. Groomer #2 wouldn’t take him because he was so scared. #3 wanted $ 80. #4 was very kind and he wasn’t scared of her, but she buzzed him-​even his ears. (You never cut the hair on a poodles ears. It has taken years to grow back.) Petco’s groomers are compassionate and they know what they are doing and the price is reasonable. Call ahead several weeks. They are busy.

I randomly decided to purchase two guinea pigs from this store in January 2014. Impulse buy, I was prepared to treat my babies like princesses. Rushing in 10 minutes before closing, the staff was BEYOND helpful and generous! They showed me everything I would need for a beginner such as myself, food, propper beding, viatamin C suppliments, ect.
One of the guineas however had an upper respiratory infection. When I brought her in to Petco they suggested I leave both her for treatment and watch for two weeks. I took their advice and have no regrets. They have a vet they take all their animals to, and my guineas got checked out and put on some medication. The employees handled and did an amazing job taking care of my pigs! They even let me come in anytime to visit and play with them during the time they were being held and looked after. I was so pleased with my experience with the staff and how much they care about their animals, I won’t go to any other PetCo.
My babies have made a full recovery thanks to the wonderful staff. They really do care about the store and the animals they’re trying to find a good home for! If I could give them 10 stars I would!
