Abysmal customer service at Petco Cookeville (TN)
Avoid Petco Cookeville grooming. Abysmal customer service. Made an appointment in advance for my two labradoodles. Followed Petco rules, including forms with vaccination records. Records came from our kennel, which has the vets' records on file. Two weeks later, when I arrived for my appointment, groomer would not accept my records. We were able to contact our vet up north for one dog, but the vet for the other (in Crossville) was closed on Saturday. I asked the groomer to call the kennel so they could send a photo of the other's record, but she refused. It had to be from a vet. When I told her the record is the same one the vet issued, she said that did not matter. The record must be from a vet. When I said that is not what the online registration form said, she said that did not matter. When I asked her to look it up, she raised her voice and said it did not matter. The discussion became a little heated and she refused to groom the pet. The manager, Seth, said it did not matter what the registration form says, that is their policy. I contacted the kennel, and they were willing to text a photo of the vaccine record, but groomer and manager said no. If they want a specific document, they should request it. Two weeks - and an hour drive from Crossville - all wasted.
