Good store, one of the dirtier ones I’ve seen. Staff is available if you can find one that’s willing to help.

I LOVE my Petco on Hacienda in Vista, CA This location is smaller than others that have grooming inside and more selection but I find what I need instantly and the team helps me find what I want or need I get in and out super fast and the team is always smilling.
