We go to this Petco for grooming because they know our dog, and always treat her well (Alyssa, the grooming manager, is amazing and super sweet to Lula). They are also right across the street from PAWS Chicago (a wonderful no-kill shelter). They offer coupons to people who rescues animals from PAWS to help you get started taking care of your new pet. They carry most items that you need for basic care (toothpaste/brushes, crates, treats, Furminators, poop-bags, etc). The store is set up in a manner that is easy to navigate and find what you need. The check-out staff always seems a little annoyed, but is helpful when pressed.
