Unleashed by Petco

Buckle up, folks. I have a loooong rave review to write.
I normally wouldn’t write a review for a routine visit to Unleashed, but I wanted to shout out one particularly wonderful experience made by one particularly wonderful employee, Jen.
I came into the store with my Pitty, who began attempting to pee on everything. Even though I tried to apologize, she told me it was totally understandable with all of the smells, and even helped distract my dog and engage him in something other than vacating his bladder on every item in the storm.
I came in looking for some booties and some better nail clippers, as my pup’s feet were not handling the snow well. She was upfront and honest about what they had in stock. Now my pooch does *not* like having his feet touched, so I figured trying these all on was going to be a nightmare. Jen not only gave me tips for putting them on when he and I are at home, but also helped me engage and manage him as I tried (painstakingly) to put 4 latex-​covered socks on my dog’s already-​sore paws.
Ultimately, she and I both decided that what they had in stock (in the way of booties /​foot protectors) wouldn’t do for my pup in particular and recommended a product that would likely work better.
Thank you SO much, Jen!

Friendly staff, helpful especially when I have my hands full with my two rescues, and well stocked. We liked the Level One class we took this summer! Very helpful

Petco is your basic pet store. They have everything a dog owner needs. The staff is ALWAYS super friendly I love my experience here and ive been coming here often with the last month as I live in the same building the store is in. My only complaint is that some of their toys are extremely fragile and shouldn’t be given to dogs. Out of 5 toys I got from them three had very fragile parts that were bitten off easily and swallowed. Hope they work on that !

Very expensive. Terrible selection. The «waterbowl» provided for visiting dogs was a disposable plastic cereal bowl… and it was empty. Worse still: In May, in DC, this store doesn’t have any portable water dispensers for dogs. I expect that kind of oversight from Safeway, not a pet store. The manager suggested coming back in a few weeks. I suggested that I’d use Amazon Prime. I won’t likely be back.
