Unleashed by Petco

Sunny and the staff here are AWESOME. Long story short, my dog recently got sprayed by a skunk. The girlfriend insisted I take him here to clean him up (don’t want that smell in the house). Sunny and her stuff were extremely helpful in getting the situation taken care of. Definitely take your pet to this little store for anything pet related!

I enjoy picking up my dog’s food here, as it is within walking distances to my place and it allows me to a ‘dog errand’ while also walking my dog. He loves coming in and sniffing around to pick out toys and treats. My only negative is that I think it is a little bit more pricey for the same items compared to other stores that I have to drive to.

My dog and I really enjoy shopping here. All the employees are so nice AND helpful. They know my dog by name and are always happy to see us! We attended obedience training with one if the trainers, Will. He was great!

They carry Science Diet but only the natural, fyi. I expected it to be pricier, so that was a pleasant surprise to see decent prices despite the intentional boutique-​y teeny pet-​co.

My favorite place to give my dog a bath. The tubs are always super clean (Thank you Esteban!!), and the basket of supplies has everything you need. The professional dryer, along with the table you can raise and lower, make it SO easy to dry your dog afterwards. I so appreciate the friendly, helpful staff (like Lisa) who remember both me and my dog. And the store has great dog supply inventory. I can find anything I need here. Great place.

I am a new pet owner so I have only been here a few times but every time their staff member Josh has helped me he has gone above and beyond! He is both friendly and knowledgeable. This time he even gave me a free can lid!

In a new development by Chic fil-​a and sprouts on west Colfax this is a great place for cat and dog food, toys, training, do it yourself baths & other pet store items in a smaller more urban setting.
Friendly staff answered my questions regarding training and doggie wash ($ 10 includes supplies except nail clippers– let a pro do that– and they clean up for you)
I’ll be going back to see what food options they have for my pup and Kitty.

Great experience on Sunday!
1^st time using the dog wash…
All employees helpful, positive, friendly!
Will return and recommend!
Thank you!!!

I give 5 stars to the staff at this store. I haven’t really compared prices for the food and toys (but I have compared prices on dog wash, and the $ 10 dog wash is pretty decent compared to other services offered nearby), but the staff are always very friendly and helpful. The selection is also pretty good.
(Btw, I don’t think its accurate to say they put Green Buddies out of business. Green Buddies had already announced they were going out of business at the time Unleashed opened. The announcement said they’d decided to move out of state. Maybe they saw the writing on the wall, but its not entirely clear.)

PetCo Unleashed is a great store that offers healthier foods for all your pets and a small selections of pet accessories. I love the selection of fresh baked snacks for my pup and also the self service snack station. My last trip to PetCo was not the greatest though, I was searching for whitening shampoo and the person working had no idea what I was talking about… A simple request, he left me with no options and no alternative options. He could of offered to order it for me, informed me of another PetCo that is fully stocked with supplies or even pointed me to
. He may have been new, so I did not make a big deal and found the shampoo at another local store.

I feel like Petco in general gets 3 stars… for being convenient, mostly. In my experience, Petco does NOT have the cheapest prices for food, even though they are big box stores.
I give Unleashed an extra star for having healthier foods than the typical Petco AND still having the refillable litter. They also were really nice about refunding/​exchanging food when my snobby kitties wouldn’t eat the food I bought them (same brand, but differently shaped morsels. SWEET JESUS ARE YOU SERIOUS?).

I went into Green Buddies looking for my pup’s food — I usually went there because it was a small business (you have to support them!) Unfortunately they didn’t have the size bag I needed… but the woman advised me that Petco had just opened across the way, and I could probably find it there. I looked at her — could see the hurt in her eyes — and left. Did not know that later that week, Green Buddies closed.
Now was Petco the reason that Green Buddies closed? I have no clue. But with a big business as Petco — it probably did hurt that business. I was able to find my pup’s food there, and it was for a much lower price than offered at Green Buddies. I know myself, if Green Buddies would have stayed — I would have continued to shop there. I don’t care that the price is a little more expensive, I love to support small businesses.
Petco itself is very clean, bright, and has anything you need for your pet. I haven’t tried the dog wash yet — only because my pup loves ALL people and is such a handful in crowded places. They even offered to put the dog food I purchased in my car — which I really appreciated. It loses two stars because I’m sure they pushed out Green Buddies — there was no competition.

I love shopping at the Unleashed by Petco location on Colfax. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the GM Margaret was so excited to help me out with cat and kitten stuff. She was very intrigued to know about my pets and share fun stories about hers. I enjoy the Unleashed stores because they have EXCELLENT customer service. I will definitely be coming back to shop for my fur-​kids :)

Too expensive and not a very good selection. Too bad green buddies went out of business! This place has a lot to be desired.

This is pretty cool for Petco. I’m a fan of Petco. It’s about price and location. Petco is naturally expensive so the prices are pretty much the same to me.
I had a promotional coupon that came in the mail so I utilized that and made a couple small purchase. The one thing I definitely loved and will come back is the ability to purchase single rawhide. It’s hard to purchase cow ears, rawhide and similar products anywhere because its all prepackaged and expensive. Here they do it and I so go back for it because I can spend $ 5.00 and get what I need from here.
They have a dog wash that they provide everything except the dog for $ 10.00 per dog unless you go on their promo days then its $ 5.00 per dog. It’s not bad if you need to wash your dog and you’re not at home otherwise I’ll save the cash and do it myself.
I believe there’s a local store next door that I’ve never been to but only because I don’t know if they will be higher or lower just yet. I went here because of a promotional coupon. I’m use to Petco and I know their products and prices.
Any way, the staff is friendly. I think they’re over staffed as many were simply just standing around waiting. One team member gave me a tour, suggested some products after I told her I was curious about the store. I did feel a bit pressure there with people watching me. I just like browsing, looking and reading and don’t want to feel rushed but hey I still took my time and enjoy my visit.
Further, they even offered to let me wait inside while the hail pass as I was waiting for the bus. That’s sweet! Thank you!
I will definitely go back here again.

Good selection but super pricey. I bought a calming aide for my dog there for $ 20 and a week later, found the same exact bottle right next door at Sprouts for $ 14.50! That is a huge difference. I knew the store was slightly overpriced based on the toy section but I had no idea they were gauging us on everything. Even still, the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable so I guess that’s where their premium goes.

This store just opened up and it’s great inside but I feel terrible shopping here and probably won’t again because I absolutely adore the little mom and pop shop next door. So tired of seeing locals go out of business because of massive corporations.

I’m so glad they just opened this in my neighborhood!
The employees are friendly and helpful and they had everything I needed.
I’ll be back for a «doggie bath» soon!
