There was a young woman with a VERY large dog on a leash but allowed it to quickly approach my small young dog as we were in line to check out. I had to pick up my pup who was totally stressed in order to get her away from her dog. She made no acknowledgement what so ever to correct her dogs behavior or apologize...Not to mention the 6' spacing. Several other customers noticed the incident. There should be some type of rules or guidelines to prevent this.

I went here to get glofish for my 5 year old. I asked the associates if these type of fish needed a heater. The associate told me no, that they would be fine in room temp water. It's 8 days later and we are down 4 fish out of 7, and after searching for what the problem could be, I found that GloFish need a heater. I think this is my reminder to buy local.

I will never spend another dime at petco. They require a facemask. Any business that requires you to take medical advice are evil.
