“Superb service in all respects”

Arrie H.
1/4/19

I've been a customer for many years (20+) and have never had any issue with service, delivery or returns. Customer service folks have always managed any concern with politeness and knowledge. I rarely buy from anyone else. I had an aviary of 200 parrots and always bought food, treats, toys and accessories from them. Now with just 4 parrots I still rely on Drs. Foster and Smith. Highly recommend them. Let's hope Petco doesn't spoil this terrific company like Sears ruined Lands End!

“Badly packed product arrived damaged, company refused a refund”

Ordered six cases of dog food. They were poorly packaged and too many in one box so the cans arrived badly dented and the box was destroyed due to the excessive weight, many near the seal. After jerking me around, they refused to refund my money. They claim cans with dents at the seal are fine to feed my dog. I'm not giving my dogs botulism. I've had dented can problems on occasion with other vendors like amazon, they always refund me especially when it was their poor packaging that caused the issue. I have photos of the packaging and damaged product, which I provided to the vendor.

I will start to say they do have great prices. But sometimes it is worth spending a bit more to not have to deal with bad customer service. Half of the recent orders I placed had some items out of stock even though it said they did have items in stock. They supposedly have a good return policy. Good luck there. Takes a week to ship the items back and then they reserve two weeks to process the return. If you contact customer service they will blame you for everything even if you follow the return instructions to a T. So I had to pay to ship items back which I wouldn't have ordered if they hadn't shipped an incomplete order in the first place.

I ordered an item that comes 2 sizes and one is more expensive which is the one I ordered but was sent the cheaper item? Customer service said they would make a note of that but never offered a refund!
