Unleashed by Petco

Everyone in the store was very nice. We stopped there before adopting our new dog and they gave us free treats to congratulate us on our new family member. We will be doing our doggy classes there in a month or so as well.

FYI– dog wash closes at 6, not 7. Online it says store closes at 7 but apparently there are different times for the washing stations. Came in at 5:55 thinking we had plenty of time. Approached by a young guy stating they close at 6. after several more times him hinting we need to hurry I told him we felt rushed and to back off a bit he just scoffed and said sorry. yeah, I can really fell your sorry. Only reason I put three stars was because the manager/​shift lead lady was nice and very accommodating.

Let’s me live my dream of being a dog groomer! Ive only been there twice and both times we’ve had excellent service and it was pretty clean. I love that it only takes about 30 min to dry my poodle husky mix rather than the 4+ hours letting her air dry. They offer you shampoo, conditioner, a metal comb, slicker brush, a zoom, and towels. You get to go make a mess then pay only $ 10 after using all the equipment. Professional grade tub, hydraulic grooming stand and blow dryer.

Very clean and well-​maintained. The employees are very helpful and courteous. Love being able to take my dogs somewhere to be bathed so I don’t have the mess at home.

I have a long haired large dog. I used their self pet bath service. What normally takes all day at my house, took 45 minutes at unleashed. They charged me 10 dollars for the use of their tubs, dryers, towels etc. It was a fair price. I took away one star because the soap was watered down and the grooming brushes and combs could have been better. I will definitely return but next time I think I will bring my own dog shampoo.

I’m going to have to disagree with Mary V.‘s review one the store. She obviously didn’t read the boxes which is understandable since they are locked in a glass case but most of them are vibration collars, not shock and they recommend to try it on yourself before you use it on your dog. This way you know how they feel and if it hurts on you, it hurts on them. Many people don’t or can’t have fences and this is the only way to keep their dogs from running away. Better than a long leash tied to a tree if you ask me. If you really have a problem Mary V., I suggest you speak to a higher up person and not give the store a bad rep. I’m sure there is more information if you talk to the employees or look online. Do not base her review on Unleashed because it is a great store for people looking to give their cat or dog the natural foods they need for a better mind and body also for animals with special needs. Their products are very neat as well.

I hate to take away several stars on a specialty pet store, but Unleashed really let me down today.
I went in for something very specific that I felt certain they would carry: dog grooming scissors. Nothing special, really, and I wasn’t particular about the length of the shears; I just wanted scissors meant to cut dog hair. I had previously stopped at Sally Beauty Supply to perhaps buy a pair of «people» hair scissors and realized that $ 50 scissors with a sharp tip was really not what I needed to be using with a squiggly dog while I was trimming around a face or ear.
Zero. Zip. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Strike out. Pfft.
I found nail scissors and thinning shears. And cat hair scissors (a little too small for my dogs). But no plain old grooming scissors.
Blah. Bummer that I had to come home and order them from Amazon instead. *Star taken away because I had to order online for something you should have stocked.*
While I was here, though, I did notice a big, locked display case of training paraphernalia for dogs: shock collars and the like. E-​gads!!! Shock collars? Are you kidding me? Boo-​hiss on Unleashed by Petco for stocking items such as this. I should take away TWO stars for this, but I’m only taking away one in hopes that someone in your store or corporate office will wake up and realize that shock collars are akin to shock treatment given to humans years ago that suffered from mental illness. Talk about inhumane! Wake up and realize that instilling pain and fear into a living being is not the way to alter behavior. Jeez!
Don’t think I’ll be back. So very very disillusioned and dissatisfied.

Wanted to try this place out since it was so close to home but I was kinda disappointed…2 reasons.
1. They don’t carry the wet dog food my Maltese likes & eats (Science Diet) The lady said they had something similar; but we cant just change her food like that…
2. They don’t carry the Nylabone we buy quite regularly (Healthy Edibles puppy calcium) lamb & apple. So long story short, we still ended up driving to Petco
