I placed this order on 4/10.The concern is about the Pentoxifilline as it is crucial for my pet, as we are talking about a life threating situation.Order has been placed in a timely way, and my vet approved it too. When I called today, Petco customer service wasn't able to locate the order number, which I regularly received via email, and recommended me to cancel and place a new one, with of course a huge delay and waste of precious time for my pet. Like I said he is in a life threating situation. How is this situation possible? Do customers care about those IT issues?It's not for the money I paid for the medication, this is for my cat.Will gladly provide more information upon request.Business Response

I am not satisfied at all.
And there are several reasons for that.
First of all, they never shipped the medicine, not get let me know there was an issue UNTIL I called them.
After days, IT never solved the issue, nor tried to reconcile backend all orders (it looks like there are other customers affected by similar issue).
What Petco really doesn't understand as a business is that they focus on pet's health, and when we buy medicines, it's not because we like them, it's because WE NEED THEM unfortunately, and going back and forth like it happened to me, put the pet's life in a serious danger.
There is really no way you can buy medicine online at Petco and collect them at the local retail store.
Given, all the perils (unfortunately for me and the pet Petco has the best price around for that medicine) my cat has to go throught, the infinite phone calls and everything else, I find extremely direspectful Petco's answer. They weren't offering any real solution to my problem.Business Response

I took my dog there to get her groomed. They butchered her. She has spots that are down to her skin. When I called to speak to a manager they told me they knew about what happened. They offered no refund. I paid over $130. They were extremely rude. Not one person called to tell me what happened. My dog is traumatized. Shes whined for the last hour.

Hi ******** ****,
This communication is in response to your Better Business Bureau case # ********.Were very sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your dogs grooming experience and that it caused distress.We understand how important your pet is to you and take your concerns seriously.
When you visited our salon, you mentioned that grooming had been delayed due to your dog being in heat, which caused matting. Our groomer explained that some areas, especially under the arms, would need to be shaved shorter for your dogs comfort. You signed a matting release form and agreed to the coat length discussed.
At pickup, the groomer reviewed everything with you, and both you and your dog appeared happy as you left the salon. They also reduced the grooming charge as a courtesy.
Later, when you called back, they offered to fix the groom, refund the package, and provide the next visit for free. Unfortunately, despite our teams efforts to help, they were unable to continue the discussion due to inappropriate language. They have since tried to follow up but have not heard back from you.
Were committed to resolving this issue for you. Please feel free to contact our stores General Manager to discuss it further.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

There was no discussion about my dog being matted when I dropped her off. I didnt agree to the length that was given to her. It was much shorter than I agreed to! Bald spots under her arms, that not one single person told me about. When I picked her up NOBODY told me about her haircut. Or the mistakes that were made. Also, not one single person has tried reaching out to me! All lies! Nor did they offer to give a free cut next time. They offered to fix it! But there is NOTHING to fix! Her hair in spots is bald! I dont want her entire body bald! So Im asking for a full refund! Go back and listen to the phone call between us and my husband because all that was mentioned in this response was never mentioned. I apologized for saying one curse word but I was EXTREMELY upset over the haircut!Business Response

On March 27th @ 5:10pm, I went into Petco to purchase items for my dog. I spent over $253. I was going back and forth between different collars and harnesses. The Associate Jaslyn, forgot to remove an item (dog harness) from my transaction. When I got home, I noticed she charged me for something I did not have and immediately called the store. She remembered her error and advised me to come back to the store to fix it. I returned to the store and spoke with the manager on Duty (******) and explained what happened. She reviewed the store camera footage and verified the error on Petco's' part. I did not want any money back, so I went and found a dog harness that was equal to the item the associate made in error, along with dog food and treats and a 40% off coupon used for the dog harness. Transaction went smoothly. I returned to the same location on 4/12/2025 to exchange the dog harness for a bigger size. The harness was NOT used and is also attached to the original packaging. I found the same brand and it was the same price. When I got to the register to complete the exchange the "Manager" Em ranged up my transaction. She advised me there is a balance difference due, and I disagreed and asked for a manager. She went and fetched ****** who was also a "manager", and she advised me of the same thing. I asked her why they are not honoring my original purchase price and it be an even swap or exchange. She advised me that she can't control the promotions and that promotion was over. She advised she can't do anything but provide a refund and I go somewhere else. She ended up with a poor resolution of store credit rather than an "even exchange". I left the additional items I was going to purchase and left. She was rude, unpleasant, unprofessional, provided poor service, and lacked proper customer service etiquette This store has caused an inconvenience for the past 3 weeks, wasted gas, time and money due to the incompetence of this store associates and "managers"Business Response

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and Im truly sorry to hear about the issues youve encountered during your recent visits. I understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the error made on your initial purchase, as well as the inconvenience you faced during your exchange.
We have previously asked our Petco Eastpointe general manager to reach out to you regarding this issue, and I believe you have already discussed the concerns. For further concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out to her for additional assistance.

petco is charging as much as $10 more in-store vs. online price. The regular price is $12.99 and the in-store price is $16.99. I purchased SKU ***** for $6.99 and picked it up in-store within 2 hours of purchasing one in-store for $16.99. $16.99 seems to be the regular price in this store for walk-in customers. However, if you purchase online and pickup in store a different price is paid.Business Response

Hi ******,
This communication is in response to your Better Business Bureau case # ********.
We understand how confusing it can be to see different prices for the same item depending on how it's purchased,and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify.At Petco, online and in-store pricing may sometimes differ due to various factors, including regional pricing, promotional offers, and operational costs. While in-store prices are set based on local market conditions, our website often features special online-only promotions or discounts that are not always reflected in stores.
However, to offer our customers the best value, ********************** does offer a price matching policy. If an item is available at a lower price on **************************, our store team can match that price upon request, as long as the product is identical, in stock, and sold directly by Petco. We encourage guests to show the online price to a store associate at the time of purchase or pickup so they can apply the price match.
In your case, since you purchased the same item online for $6.99 and also bought it in-store for $16.99, as a one-time courtesy, we've issued a $20 e-gift card to your email address to cover the price difference. Please note, moving forward, we can only match the price prior to the actual purchase.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

My cat was scheduled to have one vaccine 3/9/25, vaccine records provided to staff member. Two workers was in charge of vaccinating the kitten. one held him while the other one administered it. without my knowledge or consent an additional vaccine was administered. I was charged but didn't realize until I left the store. I called several times requesting a refund and was denied my refund multiple times. The excuse that I was given is there is no expiration date on his first round of shots that was administered by the previous vet which has nothing to do with their negligence. I spoke with the the technician on the day in question who apologized to for his mistake and blamed it on the store being so hectic. My animal could have sustained long term effects from being vaccinated when it wasn't due or authorized by me. I would like my money backBusiness Response

Purchased fish (10 tetras and 8 (2 males and 6 female) guppies) along with some fish food to start my aquarium March 29th. Tank had been cycled for 6 months and all tests return good. Issue is I started to notice that I was losing guppies and then noticed an decomposing dead male so I took it out the tank and took an picture of it. All the other guppies also probably passed too but I couldn't find the bodies since it was an densely planted aquarium with snails. At this point I was down 3 guppies and only had 5 left. I noticed today that an female guppy was infected with columnaris so I separated her into an hospital tank to try to treat her but she unfortunately also passed so now down to 4. Keep in mind there was no OTHER fish at all besides the ones I got from Petco so this infection was from Petco.Not an single tetra passed so I'm convinced that the stocked guppies from petco were diseased or not high quality guppies. Now I'm also worried about the other remaining guppies and keeping an close eye on them. These guppies were $3-$4 an piece and to barely last an week with disease is appalling. Not to mention, I was also sold a few extremely small guppy, not even an inch yet.I called petco to figure out what I could do and was told that I was supposed to bring in the dead bodies immediately and that the picture I took wouldn't work. Not everyone has the privilege to drive and bring an decomposing fish immediately just for an refund. I'm just so disappointed since I was super excited about these guppies. I hope that the disease that I saw on that guppy won't affect the rest of the guppies and tetras.Business Response

I bought a betta fish on march 15th and the sold me a fish with a disease that a beginner would not have known about because as a person who has kept fish for a while I have never seen this disease before so their first mistake was labeling the fish as beginner friendly. Second I had put the fish in a tank with other fish so all of the other fish had died because once again I have never heard of the disease before. Third I called the store and the corporate phone number and all they say is the same thing we have filed with animal care and now you just have to wait. I waited five hours as my last fish (the betta) was dying and as I was on the phone with them when the fish passed away and then the lady decided to connect me to animal care. After my fish had already just died in front of my eyes. She ended up not even connecting me and so I hung up and waited for the call back that they said they were going to give me. Two days later I call back and they dont know whats going on and tell me to wait again. I call my local petco and they says the ** is on vacation and wont answer. I called them 2 days later AGAIN which is today and they still dont know whats going on. Also when I first called them, after my fish died, the lady said she could give me a 2.99 refund. They killed five of my fish and infected my whole tank and thats all they are going to do? the tank is over 300 dollars with all the plants decor filters etc. the least they could have done is apologize but they didnt so now im left with an infected tank, no fish, emotional trauma, and not even an apology or an effort to make it right.Business Response

Personally I do not want to consume in Petcos brand anymore. I do not trust them or their ability to take care of animals. If you do a simple search on the internet on any platform, Petco has terrible reviews and there are images of ill, unhappy, and mistreated animals After going through what I did, with them completely disregarding my emotions and offering me a discount of 20 percent, I do not think that this issue is justified. I dont want to consume in their brand anymore more and would like them to pay for my tanks setup since they sold me a sick fish. I have never had any issues with my tank or the things inside of it until I bought ONE thing from Petco. I will not accept their offer for a 20 percent discount and more fish. What I will except is money back for my entire tank and the emotional trauma that they have caused me throughout this time. They lied to me saying they would contact me in 1-2 days and they never did so I would call back and they said that they would again call me in 1-2 days when they didnt. I have always reached out to them first and they did not care about this situation at all. I do not think that my solution will be solved until they pay me back for my entire setup which is now ruined and for the emotional trauma and damage that they caused me. if you would like proof, Petco records their calls when you call their corporate. You can hear me screaming and crying because they wouldnt do anything while my fish was dying in front of me. I hope they understand why I would NEVER consume in their brand again and I hope they do whats right and give me my money back for what they ruined.Business Response

Im sorry but I am done waiting for Petco to give me an answer or a response. This started on March 27 2025 and now it is April 25 2025. I have waited a month just to get nothing and to be told to wait again. If you guys would just take care of your animals this would not be an issue. I visited my local petco the other day to see sick and dead fish once again. I took pictures of two different fish that I found although there was a lot more. (it wont let me attach the photos but please let me know if theres another way I could send them) I wish you guys would just give me my answer and my money so I can move in from this. I dont want a discount and I do not want to consume in your brand so please give a solution that is fair because I am NOT taking a discount just to consume in your brand again.Initial Complaint

Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
