We heard that Kevin was a great groomer but he just didn’t do a good job on our dogs. Cleo came home with a badly uneven face and both of them were way too short. Our first and last time, I guess.

Went in the other day and had a question about Something and ask one of the clerks For help. She helped me. But didn't expect the cold shoulder with the rude customer service. It seems like this store is good for the most part. But I guess I Just caught this particular manager on a bad day.

Everyone at the Del Mar Petco is amazing! Everyone we meet there is so loving and kind. You can tell they all genuinely care about animals and enjoy working at this location. We always make a point to stop when we head in that direction because it’s the highlight of my furry child’s day to go visit and shop. We love Petco!

I take my dog for grooming every 4 weeks. Kevin is her long-time groomer, and she is always happy to see him because not only is he an excellent groomer, but he loves his job and his dog clients and they know it.

I get really great service with my pet's grooming needs at the Del Mar Petco. Rachael is excellent with my pet multipoo who can be a handful at times. She also referred us to a very well reviewed vet service.

This is a friendly store they sell fish, reptile, and small pet supplies in addition to dog and cat. They are a bit pricey so I usually scout out something on sale. Watch out though the sales can have fine print. Much Cheaper to not run out and order everything pet related from Chewy or Amazon but I end up coming to this convenient location quite often.

Petco in Del Mar is always a good shopping experience--organized and staffed just right to get you and your pet what you came for. Many product lines and the vet clinic is a big plus for vaccinations.

I'm a new dog owner to a puppy and I love coming to this Petco location. I came here in January feeling kind of lost and feeling like eh what's the point, how often will I come here? I found chewy and Amazon and felt I didn't really need to come to Petco but figured I'd look in person at some items I was considering ordering online since I was getting my puppy in February. Matias asked if there was anything I needed help with and I explained to him I didn't know what I was doing or really looking at as a new dog/puppy owner. Like literal 0 experience and used to be afraid of dogs. He showed me around to so many different aisles and products I didn't even think about. He recommended chew toys with rubbery grooves/spikes that help massage puppy gums, and showed me sprays or items to help in case my puppy likes to mark areas of the house. He gave me Zoe's, the dog trainer at this location, card and puppy schedule classes and I thanked him, but recycled both after a week of getting home since my friend had recommended a different trainer/company to me and I had an online membership with Baxter and Bella. My vet actually recommended going to Unleashed in the Del Mar Highlands for puppy classes so my puppy can get socialized with other puppies. She said Unleashed was great when she went last year and she said that what's awesome is because Petco is a big chain store, the curriculum is all standardized. I went to Unleashed and mentioned this Via De La Valle store is near where I go boxing, and every employee I spoke to said go see Zoe and get training from her. They said Ethan is great, but Zoe is amazing and Zoe actually taught Ethan, and I thought huh, yeah why not go to the teacher of the already great trainer here at unleashed. I met Ethan and he's super friendly and I have no doubt he's a good trainer. I went back to this Petco, and I'm surprised I don't see many Google reviews about the training and about Zoe. I feel like such a dud for recycling her card and calendar. I immediately picked them back up in March when my pup was 12 weeks and ready for classes.Zoe is phenomenal! I have nothing but positive things to say about her and my experience taking classes from her. My puppy, Archer, and I did Puppy Level 1, but missed some classes and Zoe recommended he take Puppy Level 2 since he was picking things up well and I was relatively prepared and was on top of training Archer. Both classes were really great, and Zoe was about to troubleshoot things that I didn't even realize were things to troubleshoot. For example, Archer tends to sit when given the command, but if he doesn't get treated immediately, he'll actually start scooting back a bit, so Zoe recommended practicing up against a wall to prevent that! When Archer lost teeth and lost interest in his high value treats, and I told Zoe how much Archer loves balls, she said to use the ball I had to grab his attention as the reward instead of the treat. I've seen Zoe mentor/teach 4 trainers during our Puppy Level 2 classes, and she's such a great teacher to peers and handlers. I feel so grateful and lucky to have met her and have her helping me train my pup. She is incredibly friendly, nice, receptive, patient, and cares so much for all the pups she trains. The walls put up to section off the area for class are filled with all these pup graduates that I know are equally fortunate to have benefitted from her teachings. Archer and I are so excited for Adult Level 2 next!I do want to also add that all employees I've met at this store are super friendly. Shaira, the manager, is also so kind and nice whenever I return things. I always feel guilty returning items but sometimes things don't work out. As a new dog owner, it's so comforting on my mind and my wallet to know I can return items in any condition within 30 days.

Petco is great for a local store front. I have to admit I mainly shop online with Chewy because the prices are better and it's free delivery to my door. I run into Petco for items I need quick or dog ID tags.

Bought crickets and came home and half were dead. I called and they were happy to give me new ones but a couple were dead too. I’m disappointed but I’m glad they were willing to help.
