Whether you’re a devoted dog owner, a tropical fish enthusiast, a goldfish hobbyist, or a reptile aficionado, this full-service pet supply store has been serving local families with quality products, expert guidance, and a genuine love for animals.
A One-Stop Pet Store & Supply Destination

Reptile keepers can explore heat lamps, specialty substrates, and terrarium furnishings tailored to snakes, lizards, turtles, and more.
Exceptional Aquatics & Reptile Service
Petco Harrisburg shines brightest in its aquatic and reptile departments, where passion meets precision. Customers consistently praise Aquarium Specialist Beck, whose deep technical know-how can “fix the chemistry of my pH in minutes,” turning a complex water-care challenge into a confident setup. Aquatics guru Rashad is another standout—his patience, thorough answers, and hands-on help make every tank purchase a memorable success. And when it comes to reptiles, Anthony’s friendly professionalism ensures that choosing the right terrarium is quick, efficient, and stress-free. One delighted shopper even called him “nothing short of phenomenal.”
Clean, Organized Shopping Experience
At Petco Harrisburg, we know that a well-maintained environment makes shopping more enjoyable. Our associates work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep aisles tidy, bins emptied, and displays refreshed with the latest pet innovations. While feedback has highlighted areas for ongoing improvement—such as reducing clutter in high-traffic zones—we’re committed to enhancing store upkeep and creating a welcoming atmosphere for you and your pets.
Staff Friendliness & Knowledge
Whether you’re a first-time pet parent or an experienced breeder, you’ll appreciate our team’s dedication. Many guests rave about “super friendly” associates who guide them through product choices, answer nuanced questions, and even offer in-store demonstrations. We also recognize that consistency is key: our leadership continually invests in training, ensuring that every visit delivers helpful, attentive service rather than the occasional slow or distracted interaction.
Product Availability & Fair Pricing
From everyday essentials like litter and food to specialty items for exotic species, Petco Harrisburg strives to maintain a robust inventory at competitive prices. Shoppers regularly commend our “good selection of litter brands” and “reasonable” price points. At times, popular products may sell out—especially during peak seasons—but you can always ask our staff to check availability or place a special order. Our goal is to keep your favorite items in stock and to introduce you to new, top-quality brands you’ll love.
Efficient Checkout & Curbside Options
We know your time is valuable. That’s why we offer multiple checkout lanes and streamlined curbside pickup to minimize wait times. Recent enhancements—such as additional registers and training for our checkout team—reflect our commitment to faster service. If you ever experience a delay, please let us know so we can make it right: your feedback drives our continuous improvement.
