Petco

Better Petco than many others I’ve visited. This one however can be low stocked on many items. Their aquatics section looked decently healthy, at least for a Petco. Their employees are super nice and the manager has let me drop off fish here before even though that’s usually not allowed

I adopted my cat thanks to this store. They displayed cats from a shelter called Rescue Every Dog or R.E.D. The manager at that time knew my cat very well. He treated her with care and provided me much needed insight into her personality. He said that she was shy, but she requires you to reach out and pet her anyway, then she’ll start enjoying it. At first this advice sounded counterintuitive, like you should leave a shy cat alone, but then I saw him demonstrate on the cat I adopted. He was correct. She loved his reaching out to her while she was hiding and few people have ever made her feel so comfortable. The tower I bought lasted for years and she loved it until I couldn’t stand looking at it any longer.

Massive shoutout to Kurt who works at the U-District Petco! He is fantastic! In every interaction I have had with him he has been exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. I have asked him many questions as a new meowma to Multi, a special needs, elderly cat my family rescued that I care for. Multi has feline AIDS and is also missing all of her teeth after dental surgery. She is the sweetest baby. Kurt always listens and addresses all of my concerns with great patience, enthusiasm, and skill. It makes me so happy and want to keep returning to the store! I also have to give a special thank you to Liz. I was worried Multi had fleas and she answered a ton of my questions over the phone with wisdom, kindness, and deftness. She was very understanding and patient as I get extra worried about Multi due to her fragile health condition. When I checked out of the store today Ian was at the register. He was super welcoming from the moment I walked in, helped me set up a Vital Care account with Kurt, and made sure my entire experience was wonderful. He also told me that I could potentially teach Multi to communicate via buttons, very cool to know. I can’t say enough about how heartwarming and helpful my experiences have been with Kurt, Liz, and Ian! The U-District Petco has incredible employees who deserve special recognition - and promotions. Thank you for being such awesome sources of support for me and Multi! I am excited to visit again soon and have shared a picture of her here for everyone to see!

Excellent groomers, especially given the fact that all of the dog spas nearby are booked til the end of time. I have 2 XXL dogs and they got them serviced in a timely manner.
