Diana is the groomer who always takes care of my girls and she is excellent. My dogs are brats and dont even let me brush them or anything, but they let her. I would highly recommend them! As for the staff at the front, they aren't very helpful but they are always nice. --["Users/Lreynolds"]

As I was walking by she yanked a dog off the table without even bothering to lower it. I have a friends that will no longer take their dogs here to be groomed because of the mean natured grooming they provide. Ironically, this same groomer does pet sitting from her home (service was offered to me when she eavesdropped on a conversation I was having) and is the dog training instructor for Petco. --["Users/DogLover"]

I had no idea what they were talking about, and forgot about it until now. Could it be that PETA wanted to stop this separation to reduce inbreeding, but other people have mischaracterized their intentions?

	+ + *In that case, the issue is selling inbred/suffering mice as pets (or selling them at all), not with selling pet rats as feeders (or selling the same rats for each.) I don't know if I've made myself clear, so forgive me if I'm repeating myself. I certainly acknowledge a problem in selling inbred animals as pets. However, if the animals sold as pets are inbred and suffering, I'm assuming the complaint would have been worded that way, instead of "they sell the same mice for feeders as for pets." Are they using a feeder lineage as pets? Or are they allowing you to buy a pet lineage as feeders? From my trips to the store, no suffering on account of genetic defects was apparent, so I assume the latter is the case. + + By the way-- I'm curious now.

	+ * Because feeder animals are horribly inbred and suffer mental and physical defects and are prone to disease. If you're just planning on feeding them to snakes, it doesn't matter -- just leave two rats in a tank, let them breed, and then let all the sisters and brothers breed together and repeat. It's also done quite often with feeder mice -- it's a very common practice if you just want to raise small animals to feed to other animals. The problem is that if you're planning on hand raising them as pets, you get all kind of problems with those inbred feeder lineages. For a pet, you really want a intentionally bred lineage or at least genetic diversity. If you're thinking the distinction is just due to some kind of moral distinction, it isn't -- it's simple hard and scientific genetics, and applies in the same way to any other animal used for food or otherwise genetically culled at that generation like rabbits or chickens. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards]

Can someone elaborate why it's terrible to sell rats in one cage for people to do as they wish, rather than in two cages-- one labeled "feeder" and one "pet"? --["Users/JohnathanQuigley"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-02-25 22:06:55'' [[nbsp]] I have mixed reviews on PETCO.I like coming here for supplies when they have sales and love their clearance section. You can find lots of deals and specials if you watch the ads. Some of my finds include medium sized Nylabones originally marked 7 dollars and on sale for $1.50. Saturdays are a great day to come because representatives come here to promote their products and often hand out samples, freebies, and even coupons for free products. Being a pet sitter I buy a lot of dog toys and am happy to report that they carry most of the good quality ones. I was dissapointed to find that PETCO is still carrying the pimple ball with bell .DO NOT BUY THIS TOY http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/) Now on to the fish which seems to be a controversy on the wiki. You do need to condition the water with any fish tank especially with Davis water. The key and success to buying fish from PETCO is to avoid tanks with sick,dead, or unhealthy fish thata have ick(white spots on bodies and tail) Ask an employee if unsure, they will usually tell you. PETCO is a major chain and way overstocks their fish tanks and so there are fish that are floating in the tank dead in at least every 3 or so tanks. That said, if you go on a Wed when PETCO gets their fish shipment their selection is going to be better and the fish should be healthier. I have bought a few fish from PETCO and have not had any problems. They will also give you baby fry for free if you ask for them. They have a great selection of fish supplies and foods and are cheaper then ACE on supplies and average in price on fish compared to ACE. --["Users/ElizabethBarthel"]

In terms of buying pets though(dogs).... it may seem like an easy place to find what you are looking for but you are better off checking the newspaper for private owners selling puppies. Who would want to buy an animal from a franchise? God only knows where they get the animals from.... and if you are not picky you can always come in on a saturday and the SPCA has dogs that you can adopt. + + Generally speaking, I wouldn't buy any animal, fish, or reptile from a large chain of stores like petco, but they are still a great place to shop for accessories!

From the floor people to the register, everyone's always nice, offer to help when I look like I'm lost and take the time to get what I need. They also help with the Yolo County SPCA to help adopt out foster cats and dogs. We've fostered several kittens and the people at Petco are always so helpful about the adoption days. In addition, I haven't found lower prices on the same products anywhere in Davis. Believe me, I've tried. --["Users/condemned2bfree"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-12-02 19:55:51'' [[nbsp]] petco is terrible. no one should by anything from them if they don't have to. I only go there to buy rats because I have an 8 foot red tail boa and it is the only place within a practical distance that sells rats. I hate going there though because they sell the same rats for pets as for feeders. it's terrible. back home I only buy feeder rats that are bred as such. plus, the people who work there are ALWAYS really rude to me and take forever to help me grab a rat - there can be three people at the registers kickin it and talking and no one will come out to help me. + + and about the whole fish thing - the reason most of the fish die is because most big pet chains (especially petco) catch their fish by spraying poison into where ever the fish are hiding which causes the fish to usually come out to escape the poison or they pass out and then the people catch them and bring them to the stores. the fish are stunned from the poison but usually die or at least get very sick soon after - aka when you buy them. + + there is a lot of shady business going on in the pet trade industry and I wouldn't trust ever buying a pet from some place like petco. don't support them if you don't have to. there are other pet supply stores. --["Users/brie311"]

I was accused of "killing" the bird (how absurd!) and told by the Assistant Manager that they would call the Police on me if I ever came back to the store. Petco needs to take responsibility for this because the bird didn't get that way overnight and how lame to try and pin the blame on me.... --["Users/Lory"]

Utilize the knowledge of the staff to select a good filter, and always bring a sample every once in a while to test to see if your water is good for your fish. Fish are very sensitive, and require a lot of attention to their water quality. Please keep that in mind when selecting a fish for a pet. Also research fish before putting them together in aquariums because different species have different temperature and social needs. + + I have been very successful with Petco's fish. --["Users/AnnaF"]

	+ * Thanks for the info on the treats -- I'll look for the low-fat ones. As for the grooming department, yes, they get behind, but the result is that your dog is left by itself in a cage while they deal with the backlog. After 6 hours of that, I'm not going to subject a dog to more grooming. As I said, they are nice people, and maybe they are forced to take a certain number of appointments per day, but (in my experience, anyway) it's more than they can handle. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

I did notice this store is significantly less clean and pleasant as the other ones I've been too, but its fine. They were bringing in some crickets at the time and had the cricket stinky cardboard about. It wasn't that bad though. I went to look at the fish, and many of them seemed okay. None of them I saw had signs saying that they were not for sale. They cashier was very friendly.

When I returned the rat to Petco so they could take it to the vet (supposedly) they called me and told me that it had died. When I looked at the other rats-- I realized that they were all suffering from the same respiratory infection as mine. I alerted the staff- which could care less. Evidently this is normal practice to sell sickly pets. The girl working the cash register actually told me to go to a privately owned pet store in Woodland and to not ever buy pets from Petco because the place they get their pets from is bad.

Even the City of San Francisco sued Petco to stop them from selling animals (unsure if successful, doubt it). I think PETA stopped their boycott this April when Petco promised to stop selling large birds and make all kinds of changes. Regardless, my girlfriend and I refuse to buy from Petco.

The people weren't extraordinarily helpful. I did enjoy that the bird areas had "consider adoption" signs first. --["SaulSugarman"]

Their feeders are especially bad. They're small, thin and sick looking and some don't even survive a five minute ride home in the car. If you're looking for fish, shop somewhere else. --["JoeMarchi"]

I have a friend with MS, and she was having a rough day, where getting out of her car and into the store would have been an ordeal. She needed to get some pet food, and the people at Petco were nice enough to let her stay in her car in the parking lot while they got her stuff, and took care of the money. Whatever else you want to say about Petco, that impressed me, and I'm happy to shop there after that. --["EricKlein"]
