    Absolutely horrid!! I had so many problems when I signed up with PetSmart. I had so many packages that weren’t delivered, or were delivered to the wrong house, horrible customer service, and absolutely worthless merchandise. When you’re dissatisfied, they make it impossible to delete your account and remove your payment method. Don’t waste your time with PetSmart, go to Chewy.

    My dog Bailey went into Pet Smart walking fine for his grooming. When I picked him up approximately 2 hours later he could barely walk. The groomer claimed it was from him sitting in his cage too long. Pet smart would not acknowledge any fault on their part. Do not take your pet to Petsmart for grooming. I took my dog to the vet the next day and it cost me over $800.00 in vet bills. It is not the vet money, it is the fact he was injured there.

    My dog was scratching your ears a lot. Seems to be a little cooking there so I've run her to PetSmart grooming. Told the girl to focus on the ears. She brung another girl and to look make sure there was no infection. LOL. What. There was no infection and it seems like they didn't bother to clean their ears after I made a point of it. My dog is now shaking her head repeatedly. I'm cleaning her ears out myself after I paid someone else to do it. Pissed off. Never again going to a junk place like that. Some kids isn't trained or don't pay attention to details. Clean her ears turn into not cleaning Her ears. Just a bunch of kids working there that don't care and know what they're doing.

    I would give no stars if that was possible. If you need prescriptions for your pet, DO NOT order them from here. We ordered two scripts on 10/29 with overnight delivery, which costs $35 extra, understanding that it's overnight after the vet approval happens. On 10/31, we received emails that the vet approved both meds. By end of day on 11/3, we still hadn't received a shipment notification, so on 11/4, I called their customer service, and asked for a refund of the $35 shipping cost, since obviously they hadn't shipped it overnight anyway. The guy said it should ship within 5 business days then. I agreed to that.

    On 11/7, we still hadn't received a shipment notification, so I logged in to see if the status on the order changed yet. Apparently, that guy cancelled the ENTIRE ORDER. I received no notification about this the entire week. So, I called in that day and explained everything to someone else. They said to remedy all this, I would need to re-create the order, and they could just ship it that day, since we already had the previous approvals from our vet.

    Well, here we are on 11/10, and I received an email saying they were still waiting for vet approval on one of the meds. So, I called in again, talked to someone else, and explained everything, and asked him to make it right, and ship the meds immediately overnight. He placed me on hold many times, only to explain that they can't because they don't have the one med in stock. That's not what the email said, but ok. I asked him why the website allowed me to order it, giving no indication of it not being in stock, AND it allowed me to pay for overnight delivery, which obviously wasn't going to happen. He just apologized and asked if there was anything else he could do for me. I told him to cancel the entire order, and I'll get the meds through our vet. He said he can only cancel the one med, because the other was already filled. Seriously, PetSmart Rx is completely useless.

    I wish I didn't have to give a star. I am very dissatisfied with service at Stone Mountain 2150 Paxton Dr. SW, Lilburn, GA 30047. I setup an appointment for my fur-baby Bath & Full Haircut Dog. I selected the Full haircut thinking it was required because of his ear were a little matted from always in his water bowl. Come to find out they charged me an extra charge for Scissoring Fee (15 min). To make matters worse they shaved him all the way down(summer-cut) and we clearly asked for his normal cut. . My pet was cut much shorter than requested, almost bald, which I did not authorize. When I inquired, the groomer Jenny M said he didn't need it cut that short, even though my husband specifically requested his normal cut.

    I attempted to speak with the manager, but he was unhelpful and seemed to misunderstand me. I have been a PetSmart customer for 7 years without issue, and I am very dissatisfied with this experience. The manager which was not present during the conversation, so I told him to run the camera back and he would see who is lying, because I definitely have no reason to lie. The manager is very rude! After reviewing the reviews I will not give PetSmart my service again. IF YOU LOVE YOUR FUR BABIES - DON'T WALK BUT RUN AND NEVER GIVE THEM YOUR SERVICE!

    Petsmart has outstanding, admirable dedication to pets. Unfortunately, the Petsmart website is terrible. Also, Petsmart is one of the few stores that will not refund an online purchase made through Paypal except as store credit. This is not clearly stated on their website; it is hidden in the fine print. I am dissatisfied with my online purchase of a kitty litter box. I don't need store credit; I need a different kitty litter box than those Petsmart actually has in the store. The entire experience of getting it was a hassle, and I must sadly say Goodbye to PetSmart rather than struggling with its website and policies again.

    I recently brought my Goldendoodle in for her monthly grooming and was very disappointed with the results. I requested a light trim, but she was completely shaved and came home with small cuts on her belly. She was not matted, so this should not have happened. In addition, her original appointment was canceled last minute by the groomer, which was inconvenient. I’ve been a loyal customer for over ten years, but this experience has left me very disappointed, and I won’t be returning for future grooming services.

    I don’t regularly shop at PetSmart however we are adopting two kittens and I needed to get a list of supplies to prepare rather quickly. I ordered three of the most important things from the PetSmart website to be supposedly delivered free to my home. First of all the online prices that were showing that led me to choose. PetSmart were very deceptive. It turns out you could only get those prices if you signed up for monthly memberships for the most part. So then the prices were very comparable to other places. But I went through with the order on three important items, including kitty litter, wet food, dry food. Later that day I got notification that they were out of the litter they claimed they had in stock and it was refunded to my account. But I had to of course, try to find it elsewhere. Then the delivery was quoted to be one day and I did not receive it until the following.

    At that point, the free delivery I was required to give a tip so it in fact, it really wasn’t a free delivery. When the delivery finally arrived with the only two items remaining to my surprise, only one was delivered. I was still charged for two and received no notification that apparently another item was out of stock. I had to call customer service to figure all this out and get a partial refund on that item as well. So after all the hassle Only one of the three items that I originally ordered when they were apparently all in stock was even delivered to me and it was at a much higher price than advertised and I had to pay a delivery tip for a free delivery. I will never shop at PetSmart again.!!! There are so many other online options with comparable prices and or other local pet stores to purchase the same goods.

I debated with Emily and she said she had discussed doing the same services initially provided to her back early this year. I was blind-sided by these extra services! I proceeded to call and speak to her supervisor for the lack of transparency provided by her groomers. All she could offer was that she would talk to her groomers about being more transparent.

    I ordered dog food on 8/30/25 to start up an auto ship. I have used Chewy.com in the past, but thought I would take advantage of an auto ship special with petsmart. The website said it would be delivered on 9/3/25. It's now 9/9/25 and I still don't have the food. I cancelled the auto ship but they won't allow me to cancel the current order because it's still in route. At this point, my dogs will starve so I had to run to a different pet store to buy the food because I will never purchase anything from PetSmart again. Their customer service is terrible, no one has responded to any of my messages. I will go back to Chewy.com, they deliver on their promised delivery date.

    Yesterday Am (Thurs) at the store at South Park Meadows, I brought my little tan Chihuahua/whippet in to get his nails clipped. The young ** guy with dreads/twists entered all my info in, and I told him that his nails were long, and whatnot. I told him that I was alone w/ 3 dogs, and I don't have any help, and that I isolated them w/ me, and whatnot. I had no idea if my dog would sit still because I traumatized him w/ me trying to clip them myself. Well, sorry to say they looked like crap! When I checked out I asked 4 the mgr. and asked him if he could redo them or this one that was super long. No problem, but I felt like I was discriminated because I know what the tech was saying.. He was saying that my dog wasn't sitting there and letting him do his nails.

    Well I was watching him clipped those nails through the window where you can't see it's like tinted in a way but you can see and I was watching to see if he was going to be uncooperative and he might have been but like I said that's my fault but they look like shit. He could have waited and had somebody else because when I took them back in there the lady that did his nails, they came out beautiful like they should have and I really appreciate the manager allowing me to get them redone.. He made a comment I should bring him in more to get him use to it. I see what he's saying but I don't agree with it because you can't tell me that my dog is not the first dog to go in there this very uncooperative??? You just can't! Anyways, I don't have money like that to throw around and get a bad job gone?? You feel me? Well, I just wanted to let y'all know. Thanks.

    I am beyond disappointed with PetSmart. I had to bring my dog FOUR separate times for a simple haircut, and each time they failed to get it done. Today was the last straw — I left work early to make the appointment, only to be told the groomer was sick. Nobody even bothered to call me in advance to let me know. To make matters worse, the staff was extremely rude, as if it was somehow my fault for being frustrated. Their idea of fixing the problem was to offer a “discount,” as though a few dollars off makes up for the wasted time, gas, stress on my dog, and hours I had to take off work. Absolutely insulting. This is completely unprofessional and shows a total lack of respect for customers’ time and pets. If you care about your pet, your time, or basic customer service, do NOT go to PetSmart for grooming. Their incompetence, rude staff, and lack of communication are absolutely unacceptable.

    I left my dog in the care of this location on July 15, 2025; the PetSmart team and specifically supervising store manager Michelle endangered my animal and did everything in their power to absolve themselves of liability. There was a complete breakdown in protocol, policy, supervision, and care that led to the endangerment of my animal. While under the supervision of the groomers and PetSmart team my dog sustained injuries to his paw and mouth that led to bleeding. My dog, before I was informed, was transported to veterinary care that I was not familiar with.

    The team shared confusing and contradictory information during the process of sharing my animal's status. The information and possession of my animal was unclear while the team was legally responsible for making decisions for his medical care. The team came across frazzled and unprofessional and as they seem to prioritize absolving themselves of liability instead of providing customer service and focusing on the wellness of my animal. The team attempted to leave my animal at a location that they were not willing to email to me.

    The patronizing and rude tone I received from Michelle the store supervisor was extremely disconcerting, which only exacerbated the alarming circumstance. Before picking my dog up, the team shared that they would never be willing to groom my dog again. When I picked my dog up the team provided no receipt, no report of the incident and shared with me “that nothing happened”… And to never come back. If you care about and value your animal, I’d advise avoiding this location and team.

    Review for PetSmart Store #2324 (Visit on 6/14/2025). Receipt Info: Register R-101 | Transaction T-78696 | Associate **. I had a very frustrating experience at this store and feel compelled to share it. I visited PetSmart #2324 on June 14, 2025, to purchase dog food using a digital gift card I had received. When I got to the register (R-101), I was trying to scan the barcode from my digital gift card, clearly struggling for nearly two minutes. The employee (Associate #**) stood there silently and watched me the entire time without offering any help. Finally, I had to ask, “Aren’t you supposed to scan this?” Only then did the associate respond and say, “Oh, is it a gift card?”—and finally scanned it.

    Even after that, the remaining balance was paid with my own card. But as soon as the transaction was complete, the employee turned away abruptly without a word, clearly annoyed or upset for no reason. There was no “thank you,” no basic customer courtesy—just a cold, rude attitude the entire time that made me feel extremely uncomfortable. This kind of behavior is unacceptable. I left the store thinking, “I’m never shopping here again.” PetSmart needs to seriously train its employees on basic manners and how to properly treat customers.

After picking him up the advised me that they will not be able to service him anymore, this was told to me by 2 employees with limited and minimal excuses I then ask: In 7 years how many issues have there been to which they had no response, I did notice in the last 3yrs the high turn over rate and shorter grooming hrs. Lack of training, unprofessional staff and not wanting to devote time effort. Judging by the similarities in reviews they find excuses not to do their job, Petsmart should just focus on selling products and leave grooming to professional establishments.

    Made an appointment to have my German shepherd bathed and brushed. When I got there at my appointment time they told me I would have to bring him back 3 hours later. What is the point of making an appointment if they are going to bump you cause of walk ins or overlooking? I drove an hour to get there from my home. No worries, it surely won't happen again. I'll try petrol or tractor supply.

    Very surprised and unhappy about the $5.99 shipping charge that apparently is a new change. Will shop around next time - Amazon, Chewy, etc. Will most likely cancel auto shipping and look elsewhere for my dog's needs.

    Very disappointed the staff from the PetsHotel, they don’t know to do the job. They don’t have a clue how to do the right registration….etc. They don’t deserve their paycheck! They need more training! They don’t call Me. They call my Daughter, I put Her on the emergency paper. ☹️ Never again. I am not going to leave my Dog in their Hotel.

    Poor grooming for 20 lb mini goldendoodle. Razor burns inside hind legs, pads on front feet and between pads injured and hygiene cut left her red and swollen. When I arrived after 3 1/2 hrs. The groomer was struggling to clip the nails on the front paws and wrestling with the dog. Very rough handling adding to her trauma. It's the 3rd groomer I tried at this location: Garner NC

    I do not recommend PetSmart grooming and inasmuch. I do not recommend PetSmart any longer. I took my dog into PetSmart, Georgetown, Texas today for grooming. I had taken the dog in yesterday for a flu shot, and for a rash. The person that was sitting at the reception desk in the grooming salon was nasty arrogant, and it was obvious that she didn’t want to be there at her job. If They treated me that way, imagine how they would treat my dog when I am not there.

    The arrogant 27-year-old first looked at my dog and says what’s wrong with my dog, then we had forgotten the latest rabies documentation. She said she couldn’t take the dog unless it was up-to-date and she had a copy. I asked her if she would mind Contacting my veterinarian and we could get that information. She said not likely because the veterinarians won’t give the information out.

    I called the veterinarian's office and ask if she would give the rabies information and I could give it to their receptionist. The receptionist said, "No I need to talk to her." I handed the phone. She asked about the rabies then she started asking about my dog condition, etc. etc. and I thought, "The hell is she doing sticking her nose in my dog business, she had enough problems just conducting her own." I asked her if I could see the manager and she pointed across the way, "That’s her," she stated.

    Since we had been using this PetSmart for somewhere between seven and eight years, we knew who she was and I asked her. I said, "Did you listen to that?" She said yes, and she started talking and talking defending the the employee, never once letting me say a word. Finally, I had to ask her to please be quiet and I will state my concerns and I told her that in dealing with customers it’s always nice if you listen to what the customer says first and what their wants and needs might be and then you can answer them appropriately, but all you start doing is talking nothing is accomplished, she told me to get the hell out.

    I said, "Are you kicking me out?" She said, "Yes get out now." Remind you this girl is probably 25 years old and we have been bringing our pets to this PetSmart location when she was still in grade school. I said, "You’re really going to tell me to leave?" and she said, "Yes" and I got pissed. I asked her what kind of a cupcake she was and she said, "All kinds" and kicked me out.

    The younger generation today has no respect for the customer, no respect for other people, and are so self-centered that you would think there should be a light coming down from heaven because they are so special. I talked to the manager, and she apologized and said that there wasn’t much she could do because corporate won’t let them terminate them and there aren’t that many groomers available. Well, there aren’t that many customers either so if you read this, I understand that if they treat a customer the way they treated me beware of How they’re treating your dog.
