I saw a coupon in store for 15.00 off puppy training but was pressed for time and thought that I would register my puppy on-line. When I was able, I went online to see that the price was 144.00, but no coupon. So went back to the store next day, to register. There was now a coupon for 20.00 off. I thought 144.00- 20.00 was 124.00. But when clerk rang it in, including GST, 140.70. I questioned and they showed me that in store training was 159.00. When I went online and showed them that the price was 144.00, they showed me that the online price was already discounted (very small printing) and 144.00 was very bold. The coupon in the store said “in-store special” which is not true if sale is online too.

Anyway, I requested a refund immediately. That refund is not in my account. I called customer service and they said the refund can take up to 7 days because of the banks. This is not true. Money came immediately out of my account, should go back in immediately. I can return something to Amazon and get my refund in 2 days and that requires me to drop off a package at a depot and it going by truck. I’ve now called the Legacy store where I was and they say 3 to 5 days for a refund. Which is it? 7 or 3 to 5. I think they are keeping my money and I want it back. I feel like they are purposely misleading and dishonest.

Is there anything less than a star? That’s what I give them. I made an appointment for my standard poodle on Wednesday, April 19. The evening before his appointment, I was contacted by PetSmart to inform me that my preferred groomer would not be in. I was told that I could be put on the schedule for the 21st and to have him there at 8am.

When I arrived at 8, the groomer was not there. Another groomer checked us in and took notes, stating that our groomer was running late for the morning. 1st problem, I adjusted my schedule to make sure he was taken care of, and you can’t come to work on time. Oh, okay! I was sitting at lunch almost 4 hours later when I received a call from Amber **. She sounded panicked and defeated. She requested that I head to her because my dog was being a hard client. When I asked her what was going on, her exact words were, “he had an accident in his kennel, and he was sniffing everything and more worried about what was going on with the other dogs and not sitting still for her."

Hello, Petsmart unacceptably refused to honor corporate/company online price match guarantee policy, and wasted 2+ hours over the phone with me. Tiki cat velvet mouse is advertised for $1.00 at Tikipet.com, and is not on sale at this website. Item is in stock and has many 5 star reviews. Item is exactly within every single requirement of the online price match guarantee on Petsmart.com: 1. Item in stock. 2. Item is identical product. 3. Item is on online competitor's website and not on Auction site such as Amazon, or Google. 4. Item is not a sale/closeout/discount price. Supervisors from Petsmart, Val, and Shante refused to honor price match guarantee, and were very belligerent towards me over the phone.

Shante refused to honor the policy belligerently, that I'm exactly within the guidelines of the policy. Often times calling me wrong over the phone when in fact, she is wrong according to the Petsmart.com price match guarantee policy (see policy bellow). She also passively aggressively held petty arguments with me saying that www.google.com is not even a website, when the fact of the matter is that whether www.google.com is a website to her or not, does not matter as per the policy doesn't have anything to do with Google being a website or not.

The policy does not even specify that the price match has to be from a website but not a search engine like Www.Google.com. www.Google.com has every online competitor's price that are conveniently listed for Petsmart.com price matching Petsmart online price match guarantee: "Petsmart.com will match any competitor's online everyday price for in-stock, identical products. We cannot match sale prices or prices advertised on Amazon, eBay, other auction sites or closeout/discount sites." Attached is price of $1.00 from Tikipets.com that is exactly with Petsmart price match guarantee policy, that was refused to me by Shante and Val.

Prices for wet cat food at PetSmart were expensive, but competitive with Petco etc. However, I went into the Boulder store yesterday to find that the prices for their Fancy Feast Medleys had risen by 0.10 cents a can. I don’t know about you, but 10 cents is a hardship for a senior buying 2 weeks worth for 2 cats! The regular grilled Fancy Feasts also rose by 6 cents a can as well. This is price gouging pure and simple - Sadly, I had to purchase canned food that was considerably less healthy for them, so I am done with PetSmart. I will start ordering online from their competitors from now on as the prices are a bit more reasonable. Bye Bye PetSmart, you just lost a customer!

Horrible experience with their grooming salon staff. Walked in yesterday to have my dog's nails done and since they were overbooked, we were offered an appointment today. They weren't satisfied with the paperwork I showed for my dog's rabies vaccine so they said no problem, they will just contact the vet. All fine, I just asked if there was any problem to call me before the appointment so we don't have to make the trip. This morning, got no call, but just to make sure esp. since the weather and roads were horrible, I called before going there and was told, "Yeah his appointment is all good to go, we can even accommodate him earlier."

As I was driving there, I got a call from them saying, yeah, we just called the vet, no answer so you know we can reschedule for later or another day. This was something you said you would do beforehand and I even called to confirm! The people working here DO NOT CARE! Long story short, we made the trip for nothing so we will avoid PetSmart at all costs!!!

Took my 9month old Shih Tzu to PetSmart 1/14/23 to be insulted by employees who obviously didn't want to put the time in to groom my puppy. She needed a bath and a haircut. They wanted to shave her. I said, "No. I do not want her shaved." She had 2 pieces of matted hair size of a quarter max. They then tell me they don't dematt the dogs. The girl Regina who was to groom her looked at the clock before walking over to retrieve the pup. The mngr I presume is looking at computer so I'm guessing the girl overbooked her appointments for $94 before taxes and tip and you can't commit to a bath, cut and comb, then they don't belong in the grooming business. These people (groomers) want a lot of money to do the basic bare minimum. Now for the money they charge they need to commit to a 3 hour grooming. Then an employee of above store comments on social media who didn't get anywhere near my puppy wants to say she was severely matted.

I got a comb, brush, and bank account to put up to the mngr who stands behind his employees' rudeness telling me they're trained to recognize matted dogs. Needs to put up his money along with his rude employees. Winner takes all. Employee's words: Barbara **, Maryland PetSmart. "I'm sorry we were unable to groom your dog due to the severe matting near the skin." I wish I could upload a picture/video of my severely matted dog because everyone would see that is clearly not even close.

I purchased a fish tank from PetSmart in Madison, WI at the east side location in June and some fish. The first batch of fish didn't last long, so we got more, and a few didn't make it so we got more. No this is not my first fish tank. Now today I wake up and there is water all over because it looks like the bottom of the tanks seal is broken. I call store nothing they can do call customer service they tell me it's up to the store location. So now I'm going to have to buy my daughter another tank. Not very happy and will not return to them in the future.

Nov 24th - purchase items on the website that say they are in stock at my store. Send half my order to a store nowhere close to me. Same day or from a second store closer to me. Items say are in stock. That is not the case once again. I used afterpay to purchased said items. Call customer service and so far on hold for 17mins waiting to speak to a supervisor about why the total amount is showing on my afterpay account still as owing. 147.97 is now 70.03, 111.84 is now 28.24 and full amount is saying it is owed still. Petsmart says It is up to me to call in to have the afterpay amount adjusted?? That's a scam. If people do not know this, they can end up paying for the full amount for stuff they didn't receive? This needs to be fixed.

When ordering from their website for store pick up often the website displays that the item is available and allows you to process your transaction charging your credit card. When you receive a response from the individual store for the brick-and-mortar pick up some of the items that displayed as available and have been charged to your credit card are in fact not available. There is no way to cancel the remainder of the items in the order and receive credit to your credit card without going to the store or waiting a week for you the customer to not pick up the item and then hoping that someone in the store process the refund in some timely fashion after that week has passed. PetSmart needs to stop deceiving their customers and holding their money hostage.

Store 0246 West Wichita, KS. I am absolutely horrified at what I’ve seen the last 3 days. On Wednesday, the cat adoption center was disgusting. It had obviously been days (if not weeks) since their cages had been cleaned. One poor cat’s litter was clumped together with days’ worth of feces. Another cat has a poop stain on his chest fur-I smelled him. A few had been adopted, but their cages were still full of dirty litter and poop. I tried to express my concerns to the manager, Allan, but he brushed me off with “we’re trying to work on it, we’re short-staffed.” I don’t care if you’re short-staffed; the animals are your *first priority*.

After seeing how bad the cats were, I checked on the small animals. The parakeets were totally out of seed or had filthy water. The Guinea pigs had NO water. The hamster cages were disgusting. I went back to the store to see if things had been fixed. The cats had been taken care of. That’s it. The same animals from Wed night had no food or water. The cashier was on her phone. I asked to speak to the store manager, Bradley. He said he wasn't going to make excuses; he “made a bad choice and didn't think about checking the small mammals for food and water before he did a deep cleaning in the cat adoption room.” The pet care worker was JUST starting to do food and water at 3 pm, 20 hours after I called corporate and SIX HOURS AFTER THEY OPENED. The fish looked terrible too.

I told the store manager I know everywhere is short-staffed right now. But if you can’t make sure that your animals are fed and have water—you shouldn’t have these animals. How do you not know how to delegate and prioritize so—if nothing else—your animals have food and water?! He said he has to have a “coaching conversation” with whomever was supposed to take care of the cats. (The nice way of saying this employee was getting a write-up.) But if you—the manager—can’t make sure that they’re okay after a week or however long it’s been? You both should be fired. I went back today to see if they’d fixed everything.

Today, 2 cats had disgusting litter again. Another one’s water was dirty. The small mammals had mostly been taken care of, but one hamster was out of water. I brought it up to Allan, and he said that it shouldn’t be, they just took care of them yesterday. Then he blamed it on a leaky water bottle and said he would “get to it when they had a chance” as “they were extremely busy and short-staffed; there are only 3 people working.”

They always only schedule 3 people on mid-shifts, or at least that’s how it was 8 years ago. They also weren’t busy at all while we were there. There were less than 5 people/families in the store. My best friend and I mentioned how they had several dead fish—he blamed it on a new delivery. (Same with 95% of the crickets being dead.) I mentioned the betta water, which according to Bradley—the store manager—was supposed to be changed on Wednesday. Allan blamed it on the lights that sit below them (which weren’t even on) making the betta water go bad in 2 days. Half of them were fine; they obviously just haven’t taken care of them. He was extremely rude the whole time.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for these *pet store* employees to take care of the pets. I get being short-staffed; not having inventory put out on the floor or having a dirty/messy store is understandable. Not feeding or watering the animals, not providing clean litter or bedding, not pulling dead fish so the others don’t get sick—that is inexcusable. Period. Bradley and Allan both should not be working for a pet store. It should not take me, a customer, going back every day to make sure these animals are getting the care they need.

Today, August 21, 2022, I left my dog for about 5 hours at the PetSmart on Route 10 in East Hanover. When we picked him up, his bottomless completely saturated with Pee. We were told that the saturation was “just a little happy pee” from seeing me and my wife. We have experienced “happy pee” with our Dog and this clearly was not the case. My guess is that he was ignored and allowed to sit in his own urine for hours. I am sure I am not the first to have a negative experience with the Pet Daycare and someone has to look at the overall purpose of this Daycare as they are clearly not providing the service that they are charging consumers for.

Avoid PetSmart! Terrible customer service. Screwing around with prescription dog food order. Details follow. I placed a reorder for prescription dog food in early July. The online order asked for the prescription (even though it was a reorder) and it would not upload (tried from two computers from two different places). I called and was assured I didn’t need to upload it since it was on file. A week later I received an email telling me the order was on hold pending a prescription. I emailed it and called again. The representative said he released the order for shipping and Fedex confirmed it.

Today I get an email canceling the order due to lack of prescription and non response from vet!! So I’m trying to figure out how to get the food quickly. The last thing the 12 y/o dog needs is a change in food on top of cancer, heart disease, thyroid and gi issues. I call again and ask why in the world would they do this after confirming with fedex that it had been shipped. The representative tells me it wasn’t cancelled and has no idea why I received the email. I will try to secure the food from somewhere as a backstop and keep monitoring the fedex tracking it. But this is nuts.

This is the third time PetSmart has shipped an order to an address I haven't lived at for three years. I've had some orders delivered to my correct address but I have no way of knowing if it's going to my correct address until the order ships. PetSmart has told me previously they are unable to change the shipping address once the order ships. Every other purchase I have made through PayPal has been shipped correctly except the three from PetSmart. I don't know what their problem is but I'd be very surprised if other PayPal users haven't experienced similar problems. I live in a different city than where the order shipped to and have no way to pick it up. And it is the fault of PetSmart.

The 1st time I went to grooming was for face, feet & fanny $30.00. Picked-up dog paws were very hairy. Groomer Megan said it was a touch-up and for $20.00 more she would do clean paws. Rubbish! 2nd time, full groom. My 9-month-old puppy was returned to me half-shaven. Groomer Megan said he would not hold still. Now, he has been groomed by others many times. Yes, he's hyper because he's a puppy. Could she have someone help her? Couldn't she put peanut butter on a spoon and have him hold still? When I picked him up I asked to speak with her and she wouldn't come out to talk to me. Just horrible!

I ordered two cases of canned cat food and a cardboard scratcher from PetSmart. I do business with PetSmart only because I buy their in store brand of canned cat food, Authority. Otherwise, I would never do business with them again. The box was too big for the product and PetSmart didn't put in any packing paper or cardboard at all so product was loose in box. Of course, then you know when Fed Ex got their hands on it, it went from bad to worse. I took pics but do not see how to post them here. The cans were busted and soupy gross spoiled canned cat food was all over inside of box. I am surprised PetSmart is still in business. They are supposedly sending me a replacement order, however, based on prior experience with PetSmart's replacement orders, I am sure I will most likely have to spend yet more time on the phone with them.

This should be negative one. In Jan 2022, my wife took my dog there for full bath and haircut. There was a long line on that day, she went home and did not make payment. I went back there to the grooming service and front desk asked me to pay at the store cashier. This morning, my wife tried to make another appointment and was told that we did not payment for Jan 2022. I drove to the store and waited at the door of the grooming service more than 30 min. During the waiting, a lady with blue hair served a customer came after me without saying anything like I was not there.

I showed my credit transaction picture to the manager named Lacey. She argued with me that was not grooming service. She worked with another lady in Petsmart and they found no transaction in Jan after I gave them my credit card to verify. I made several purchases in Jan 2022 and they had no record. I had to go home and searched for the receipt. I showed up there again and showed the receipt to Lacey. She looked at the receipt and said "ok..ok" without saying Sorry :-). I asked her to update her record that I already made payment. I doubt that she will do that. I wasted 3 hours because of PetSmart poor management and customer service at the Pet Grooming store. I will not go back again.

My family adopted a 13 weeks old chocolate lab that we named Harley Davidson. We enrolled Harley in the Pet Smart puppy school; but, the first week was postponed by the trainer, Harvey, due to inclement weather. So, our first training class was when our puppy was 14 weeks old. Harley is truly a puppy: excited by everything, loving and playful. And, teething. Harvey seemed frustrated by Harley from the beginning. In fact, he commented, in front of the class, that we should have enrolled Harley earlier. Both my husband and I said - simultaneously - that "we just got him".

We tried the class for three weeks and things just got worse. Finally, in the third week, Harvey used some kind of dog repellant (pepper spray) on Harley, which, we found out, was against Pet Smart policy. We reported the issue and were advised that Harvey was very popular. Nothing was done. Pet Smart said that the cameras in the store don't really work so they couldn't confirm what actions were taken. "So sorry." They refunded our money and have been sending us copious amounts of coupons for our trouble.

Did I mention that my family is ** and the other families in the program were **. This store has an awful training program and Harvey the trainer is horrible. He has no patience and uses harmful tactics - Pet Smart will say they don't condone the bad practices but will not do anything to prevent them either. You're risking your dog's mental health enrolling in a Pet Smart training program.

Sheila W. Washington, DC. I just love going to this PetSmart. I have been shopping here since I adopted my first Rottie, Angel in 2002. The first people I met at that time were Lidia, Tammy and Sharella who is in grooming. Angel was my first dog in my adult life so I knew very little. Both Tammy and Lidia took care of that aspect walking me through all that was needed and Sharella walked me through her grooming needs. I felt like part of their family and vice versa. I shop here all of the time and take my newest member, Tina for grooming. Zoe now grooms Tina with such care and love that we both are tickled pink with how beautiful she looks when I pick her up. Johnny is superb as the District Manager. He is so personable, knowledgeable and has such an excellent rapport with his staff.

I love everything about this PetSmart and I must because I live in DC and drive at least 30 minutes to shop and have my fur baby groomed here. I even took my friend to have her dog groomed by Seth. My friend was so pleased and outdone to see how handsome Papa Bear looked after his grooming. The groomers are awesome and so helpful even if they are not scheduled to groom your dog. The time, love and advice that they give is so well received and much needed for those of us who lack knowledge and the necessary needs for our pets' grooming. I find myself spending at least 20 or 30 minutes extra in the store because I feel so welcomed and they are just my other family away from home.

I don't know all of the names of the staff here but I must mention those that where I do know the names. I am forever grateful to them for their help, answering my questions, making such excellent suggestions and treating me with such superb customer service, professionalism and so much LOVE, With that being said, Tina and I would like to send THANKS AND SHOUT OUTS TO: Johnny, Tammy, Lidia, Erik, Alex, Gianne, Jasmin, Cecilia, Rosa, Seth and Zoe. You all make this store AWESOME and you definitely make me want to continue coming back for more. I love you all.

I brought in a dog that has a double coat while she was heavily shedding. It's just that time of year and I didn't have time to wash and dry her myself so I was willing to pay someone else to do it. When I got there, they saw that she had an undercoat and warned me that they might shave her. I told them that they couldn't shave any part of her that wasn't a sanitary area because it would damage her top coat. They got really annoyed with me, even after I told them that if they really found a mat in a non sanitary area, that I would work on it at home. They warned me that pulling on mats close to the skin could hurt her but looked disgusted when I said that I knew all that because I have worked for a groomer before. At home, I would make time to slowly work on it and I knew for a fact that none of her tangles or mats were close to the skin, especially in her non sanitary spots because I check those every day.

She did have a tiny mat or thick tangle near her front leg, but it was at the end of her fur, not near the skin, and I should have trimmed that off before I got there because it would have taken like two seconds. It was on one of her longer pieces of fur and considered she is a long haired dog, she wouldn't have even noticed me trimming it off. I guess it got all wrapped up in the wind while she was playing.

Anyway, they got mad at me and took my dog to the back. I'd like to mention that no one talked to my dog the entire time I was there. I understand that they work with dogs all day but so does every vet I've ever gone to and every grooming service I've seen or worked for before and they always talk to the pet. I was dismissed by the receptionist sitting down and just not looking at me again until I asked if I needed to talk to a higher up about the shaving thing. I thought I needed to talk to someone else because the lady who dragged my dog to the back was very angry and she said she needed to talk to someone (whose name I don't recall), so what else was I supposed to think? She said I didn't and I could go.

I spent the next couple hours fuming and stressed. I was mostly fuming because I was stressed to be honest. I was worried they'd shave my dog despite what I said. I was also worried they would mistreat my dog because they were mad at me. I was really fired up about it because you can be rude to me, whatever.... but don't harm my dog and don't shave her top coat because it takes ages for it to grow back for her breed, if it grows back at all, and it usually grows back wonky. I feel like I shouldn't have had to have been that worried about my dog but nothing in their behavior suggested that I shouldn't be worried. I thought about going back and just getting her back several times but I had to drop her off on my lunch break and couldn't get out of work.

When they called to tell me she was ready, they nervously told me that they couldn't grind her nails because she hated it. The nail grinding is part of one of their packages that had conditioner and teeth brushing, I honestly couldn't have cared less about the nail grinding lol. I told them that was perfectly fine and if she hated it, then she hated it. It's all good.

I went up and got her and thankfully her top coat wasn't shaved. Her sanitary area also wasn't shaved, which I thought was odd because she has A LOT of fur on her haunches and I said they could shave her sanitary area if they needed and they had been really worked up about her just existing with an undercoat... but she looked great and I was so relieved that she looked unharmed. She was super ready to leave but I was too so we went.

After I got home, I found that they shaved the spot that had a mat like a full two inches away from her skin that was like the size of a dime near her front leg. The spot was covered by all her other hair from her back and they shaved about an inch and a half stripe for a dime sized tangle that was dangling at the very end of her fur. I honestly feel like they did that just to spite me.

Maybe they thought I was being a Karen because I wasn't willing to let them shave my whole dog just because she has a double coat. I was firm in my tone because I had to leave her there with them and I asked if I needed to see a higher up because the lady walked away WITH MY DOG and said that she needed to tell someone about this. She said a name that I don't remember but... like... she was mad, pulling my dog behind her, and said she was going to go talk to someone. What else was I supposed to think?

Anyway, they did a good job with my dog's grooming other than spitefully shaving a strip of her fur. I'm not that mad that they shaved the strip because it's covered by the rest of her coat, so if it grows in wonky, it's just a little spot. I am annoyed that they shaved that spot when it could have easily been snipped off far away from my dog's skin... and heck it would have been far from her whole leg, if they just snipped it with scissors, but to be fair, I should have done that at home.

I will never ever be returning to that location for grooming. They were rude, which is normally whatever for me but they were alone with my dog and I was forced to worry about her safety for the entire last half of my work shift. Also, they're clearly spiteful so I still can't rest assured that I worried for nothing because it's not like my dog can tell me if they yelled at her, hit her, or any of that just because I told them not to shave her top coat.

I ordered three gift cards online on December 8. The funds were taken from my account right away, but I have not received the gift cards. They are Christmas gifts. I called customer service three times and finally got through. Absolutely no help. The representative clearly was using a “script” to answer my questions. The representative used my confirmation number (the only number I received and only one email) to check my order and told me exactly what I already read myself - in process. She also informed me that the only way to track an order is to “pay” for tracking, which apparently was an option when I made the purchase. Seriously. I was also told that the orders are sent via FedEx and then given to USPS for delivery.

After reading many reviews, I anticipate that I will not get the cards that I paid for and that I will not get my money. With that said, I will have to plan to file a “fraud” case with my bank - something many people end up doing because of their individual experiences with PetSmart.

Terrible shipping. Box taped poorly. Too much in one box. Cat litter broken box. Litter spilled out on carpet. Delayed first shipment from Beginning of Nov. This box is a mess. It is the second box Fedex?

HORRIFIC experience!!! My doodles not had their ear completely shaved off!!! This is gonna take 9-12 months to grow back!! Everyone there was rude, especially the manager when I called to complain. She told me there was “no such thing as a longer doodle face”! What!!!! Their own employee used those words at drop off when asking if we wanted the same cut as last time with a 5 blade and longer doodle face!! And my poor mini doodle also had his entire face shaved down. We are traumatized. The dogs were boy strange after arriving home... I got a call around 3:30 to come pick only one of them up because he had gotten out of his kennel and they didn't want to put him back in there!!! They said they were almost done with the other dog but when my husband arrived, he had to wait until past 5!!!! The whole experience was just awful. Stay away from this place at all costs.

I ordered a fluval 407 canister filter on 9/22/21. On the 9/30/21 I entered the tracking number into the Google search bar to find that Fed Ex was delivering my package. I went to the Fed ex website to find out my package was delivered the day prior. I called Fed ex who proceeded to tell me the package was delivered to my old address and to contact PetSmart. I then proceeded to call PetSmart who apologized and told me they would ship me a new filter to the right address. A week later I called to get a update and a tracking number which I did not receive. I was given a reorder number and told it would be expedited to me.

Several days later and still no package I called PetSmart's customer service line once again. This time I was told I would have to contact fed ex myself and that they weren't sending me a replacement after all even though I was told twice it was on the way! 3 weeks and no filter or no resolution and I'm getting blown off by both PetSmart and Fed ex. Basically I've been told although the package was delivered to the wrong address that I'm out of $200+.

Unless you want to endure a nightmare do not return by mail, I had the misfortune of purchasing an invisible fence that wouldn't pair up with additional collar I bought also from PetSmart. I mailed product back and received delivery confirmation September 21 2021. Here it is October 4 2021 and I am still having to contact PetSmart in regards to refund which I know am being told will be in 2-3 business days. This is after 15 emails 2 calls from me and 1 from their staff only to have to rehash story every time and give tracking number each time.

They do not make the process easy for you, this was my first time and last using PetSmart as their staff on the phone are clueless and you are truly at their mercy even when they send you a email stating refund is being processed they still call and say, "Oh we need this or that to complete refund," I have never been so stressed about a refund as this store has made me. I will continue to use local Pet Supplies Plus for all my needs.
