Don’t go to PetSmart Grooming on E. Lake Mead Pkwy in Henderson, NV for grooming services. They took 5 hours to groom my dog and didn’t even do a good job, although I paid extra for the Luxury Package.

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO I WOULD! Walked in this week and bought a fish. I noticed another fish was dead and some of the other fish looked sick (the one I had looked perfectly fine though and was not in a tank with the dead or sick looking fish). I told staff and they said they would take care. Well I come home today and my new pet is DEAD. I’ve owned fish for over 15 years and have never had this happen. I called the store. They seemed very dismissive and like they did not care. DO NOT GO HERE!!! And a message for PetSmart. Not only is it unethical that you sell sick fish, but it is disgusting that this is how you “care” for your animals.

Selling bettas in cups is unethical, abusive, and irresponsible. Bettas are tropical fish that need a heater and should be in minimum of 5 gallon tanks. Selling half gallon tanks marketed for bettas helps the company's profits but, again, is abusive. They do not provide education to the consumer regarding proper care and setup for these fish the way they do for their community fish. The bettas are mostly stressed and/or ill. It is very upsetting to walk past the betta display.
I purchased one at a discount (I asked if they would give him free since he was ill and needed treatment but was denied) who had severe fin rot and swim bladder disease. I treated his fin rot, but it turns out his swim bladder disease is permanent. I have made accommodations and he is doing well, but he should not have been sold in the first place. If he were sold to an inexperienced betta keeper, he would have been returned or died. Too often there are dead bettas in their cups. Sick bettas should be offered free rather than letting them die. Dead fish impact the company's bottom line just the same as giving them free, but at least the fish would have been given a chance to live.

Our dog was groomed SO CLOSE to his skin it caused a nasty infection and over $300.00 in veterinarian bills/supplies. Petsmart management disagrees with the veterinarian's assessment (the professional who saw and treated the dog after the bad grooming). Petsmart will not accept responsibility for the bad grooming and pay the veterinarian bill. To top it off, the store manager in College Station, Tx, was VERY RUDE!! I wish they cared about animals as much as they care about their profits.

I have purchased gift cards online at Petsmart.ca. However the phone app does not provide grooming service options. I went online to purchase the gift cards and tried to redeem it for services the next day. The website - not the phone app Does not provide options to redeem your gift cards. I called customer service and spoke to the supervisor and she suggested I pay for the full grooming service using my credit card???? Why would I do that when I already purchased gift cards???? Her response was they need to investigate why I am not able to make an online purchase with my gift card. For the inconvenience she offered me $5 coupon when I spend $40???? What an insult!!!!
They put me thru to the grooming line then the grooming line says they need to put me thru to the store. When they put me thru the store manager / store leader “Amy”. She refuses to listen to my complaint and when I asked for head office number or email she indicated they do not have one. In conclusion. Do not purchase gift cards if you plan on making online purchases as the website does not have a field to put in your gift card information and pin. This is a corporation with the worst website and it’s not user friendly!!!! Fix it PetSmart - giving you a one star for the worse experience. After spending 2 hours on the phone they asked me to come in to redeem my gift cards for services or products.

I spoke to Brandon **, PetSmart Manager, Lafayette, **. He said he does not care what the refund policy is for Training classes. He will NOT give me a FULL REFUND. They have lost me as a customer. I reported him to the pet-smart corporate office.... What is the refund policy for Training classes? If you’re not 100% satisfied, we’ll work to make it right — even retaking the in-person or online dog training class for free!...A satisfaction guarantee is a promise a brand makes to assure a buyer that a refund will be issued if the buyer is not satisfied with a product or service within a certain timeframe.... Is satisfaction guaranteed legally binding? Satisfaction Guaranteed typically refers to a legally-binding express guarantee of satisfaction in the contract of a sale of goods.... Update: someone new called me from the local store. She said too she does not care what the refund policy is. They will not give me a full refund!!!

How can PetSmart claim to care about pets and animals when you constantly stock those beautiful fighting fish in TINY containers. Nobody looks after them. They can hardly move. They all ALWAYS DIE. PetSmart claims to care about animals. It does not. If it did it would not support this cruelty of pretending to sell these poor fish. I came into the Fredericksburg, VA, store to buy cat litter as I couldn't find it anywhere else (otherwise I would not have set a foot inside) and I saw several of these fish containers empty, but with a bright green "moss" on the bottom. As I walked past in horror, I realized it was not moss, but the remains of the dead fish that had sunk to the bottom. At the top of your website you claim: "10,316,479 lives saved". How about admitting all the lives of these poor, helpless, trapped, sickly, forlorn fish you have ended!!!!

I bought fish last week. I've had a tank for 30yrs so I know about fish. The 1st batch killed every fish in 2 days. Bought more 2days ago. They're dead. I've never had this happen with all my years of having fish. So it had to be the fish were sick.

After having my 12 year old dog groomed at Leesburg Petsmart for over 6 years. I went to make an appointment and they refused me. Saying “You're not a good fit”. When I asked what does that mean girl just repeated “You're not a good fit”. No explanation nothing. My dog is very gentle and never any trouble. So much for good customer service. I always gave 15 to 20 dollar tip. So I have no idea what happened.

Found misplaced gift cards and I was told the account was closed and mended to be reactivated. I called five times and kept being told the Gift Card department has to reactivate them.

First this is for my seventeen-year-old bombay, PetSmart rescue Savanaha. She has to eat it to slow down her kidney disease. The vet was totally out so we got a prescription and went to PetSmart with it. They said Banfield was closed and we would have to come back when it was open to fill it. The next day we were told the same thing at 2 pm. This has gone on for three days now, and she has been eating what we feed Gomez and Morticia. When is it ever open? And why is it harder to get than a human-controlled substance?

Ashley was rude and unhelpful in the most, having zero pleasure and happiness and only expressions of distaste and dissatisfaction in her job, in herself, and in her life. She oozed out nothing but negative energy and was like pulling teeth from a child in order to get any kind of helpful information out of her whatsoever. I went to another PetSmart to ask to see a snake and hold it and play with it as I wanted to buy one but wished to handle the pet first before a purchase. They said yes only they couldn't at that moment because of closing time drawing too near, and so I said I understand and went to the one closer by my house.
This is where I saw Ashley and she was so horrible. I went online to leave a review about her, as there are other reviews about her detailing how horrible of an employee she is. She said she could only show the snakes through the glass and not take one out for me. She also said she couldn't order any products or supplies at the store, and a handful of other reasons that added up to me not willing to do business with this store any longer for the indefinite future. Maybe get some better employees first of all.

Unfathomably bad!!!! There's a location 3.4 km from me, but I don't drive, so I ordered my dog's food online. The only shipping choices are DOOR Dash and FedEx (the non weekend delivery shipping service). I initially ordered from DD, but for whatever reason there wasn't anyone available to deliver (in the downtown core of a major city). Instead of being offered the alternate option, I had to call and cancel my order (48hr 'processing period'). During said processing time, I am unable to place another order..?! So I call their 1 800 and speak to someone 5000 miles away in another country. To their credit, customer service was helpful and pleasant...That said, the Associate reorders my dogfood for me on the phone.
After we have hung up, my order still does not process until the 48hr 'processing time' is over! THEN I find out that they have sourced my order from a location 3 provinces away!! Literally thousands of miles, when there are 3 PS locations IN MY TOWN! Having had appalling experiences with FedEx in the past, I know that they do not deliver on weekends...So now, I have done the 48hrs mandatory wait time, then the weekend, and it's now Monday (initially placed my order last Tuesday!) Fed Ex site says I should receive my order by Wed or Thurs. I can't even.... UnBelievable! All this for a bag of food that is available at the PS up the street. I will never ever give Petsmart another dime. Nuff said.

Yesterday I had an appointment at Petsmart on Narcoossee Rd with Kae C for a full grooming session for my 8-month-old Goldendoodle. I have to say that Kae is the worst groomer I have ever dealt with. My wife and I spent 10 minutes or so explaining what we wanted and stressing to her what we absolutely did not want. Left our dog for 4 hours and came back and she just shaved the dog. Did not clean ears, facial hair (what's left of hair) was cut uneven, his skin around private parts were lacerated, nails were cut so horribly uneven. Wow! I would fire her in a heartbeat if she worked for me. Do not use her as you will regret it!! Horrible service from her, we have had other good experiences there with other groomer. She is the opposite of a great groomer. Beware of Kea C!!!

PetSmart located at 13150 Middlebelt Rd., Livonia, MI 48150. After the pandemic as businesses began to openly, slowly, I made an online appointment for my 25lb She-Poo and my 105lb Great Dane/Mountain dog mix. The groomer was **, someone I had never used before. My She-poo normally takes about 3 1/2 hours with the groomer. I was contacted within 2 hours advising that I needed to pick up my dog. I was not told the reason why. I arrived to find ** with my small dog. She indicated that my dog's nose area had been nicked because of the (age) bumps on her face. My dog's face had some blood on it. I was obviously not happy to say the least but I accepted the service being free as compensation. Consequently, my next online appointment was NOT with **. On this occasion, I picked up my dog to AGAIN see her with **. This time, my dog's ears and face area had not been groomed properly (there was matting on her ears).
This time, I made a complaint with a manager and was awarded a refund. I then demanded that ** NOT be allowed to touch either of my dogs again!! I was then restricted from making online appointments. I was told that when an online groomer is not available for an appointment date/time, the client is reassigned to another groomer (and this without contacting the client). I called to make an appointment for my dogs in October 2023 and was told my account was locked out and could only be opened by a manager. I would have to wait to speak with a manager to make an appointment (total inconvenience!!!).
I contacted them again today, November 9, 2023, in an attempt to make an appointment with ** (whom I had used prior) and was told he no longer wanted to groom my dogs..?? I have been a loyal customer with PetSmart for over 20 years. I have used their grooming services for at least 13 years and this is what my loyalty gets me??? No thanks!!! PetSmart, You are NOT the only pet supply/groomer establishment out here!!!!

Their website says the grooming department opens at 7:00. I arrived at 7:30. There was nobody in the department so I asked somebody from Banfield if they could check and see where they were. She went to the store manager. A few minutes later she came back and said, "Oh they should be here between 8:00 and 8:30". I think they need to change the hours on the website. This is very much an inconvenience to me and I'm sure to other people.

This company will cancel your order if you don't live within 15 minutes of the Petsmart you are picking up from, and not help you resolve. Just lets you sit there and stay mad. Horrible customer service. I do want to add, btw, when you actually go to the store, the employees are stellar awesome! 10/10 on employee instore customer service.

If you need lifesaving medication for your pet, buy elsewhere. It took 30 days to get my medication for my dog because they kept dialing the wrong number to my vet (disconnected number). I called more than 10 times to PetSmart with the right number and they kept dialing the wrong number. Finally a 3-way call was made and My vet was so frustrated that he gave PetSmart the approval for that prescription plus 2 refills.
So one month later, here we go again. 4 times they say they have tried to contact my vet and can't send it until they get approval. I found out that at least they have the right number. My vet has called them and still no shipment. Last time I got very expensive pills from my vet when I ran out waiting. But at least he didn't die waiting. I repeat, these are life-saving drugs. There is no way to communicate to corporate. Last thing. If you email them or reply to them, you get a case number. So I have many many case numbers.

The sales clerk refused to sell my 86 year old Mother 12 "small" goldfish. He questioned her about the size of her aquarium. And stated he was not comfortable selling the goldfish to her. In addition, the store manager said it was his decision and she was okay with it. As we were leaving the store, I looked over my shoulder to see the store manager and clerk laughing at us as we walked away. At that time I returned to the store and requested names on numbers of regional managers. I feel that my Mother was discriminated due to her age!!! Since when do you have to be screened to buy a goldfish???? Lawsuit for discrimination of the elderly is due here.

BEWARE - if you love your pet, keep searching for a groomer- don't leave your baby here. I know finding a great groomer in the Metro STL area is difficult, finding a place that's trustworthy of leaving your 'child', a place that you don't mind parting with your hard earned money. I brought my 11 months old shih tzu for a wash and clean up hair cut. Cut just underneath (belly/chest) due to a little bit of matting because she sit so close to the ground and it had gotten wet from walking across the grass. Mind you, she had just been groomed literally 6 weeks prior and I keep both my dogs brushed everyday and groomed (I also have an older boy shih tzu who had an appt also for a couple weeks later of which I quickly CANCELED), so she really just needed to be cleaned up a little. Her hair was flowing beautifully. I told them do not cut her, just clean up underneath (belly/chest/chin) area. I paid extra to upgrade to a better shampoo and conditioner.
Needless to say when I picked my baby up, they skinned her. ALL of her hair was shaved and they even did a terrible job at that (it was uneven and choppy if that makes sense). I would add photos, but would not want to embarrassed my baby like that - the internet is forever. I have been working on myself lately, with the old me it would have been some consequences and repercussions in that store lol but the new me calmly paid my bill and took my baby .... livid/steaming all the way home. I know her hair will grow back and when it does she will never see the inside of a Petsmart Grooming ever again.... They will never get my hard earned $$ again. It was a wasted $100.
I write this review simply to inform you, my animal loving parents, not to take your baby here. I should have turned and walked out once I saw how one groomer was talking to a dog that would not sit still for her. A HUGE red flag, silly me and my puppy paid the price smh. Oh I forgot to tell you, even though I paid extra for upgraded shampoo and conditioner, she didn't get that, if they even bathed her at all. Also, mind you she's a tiny dog (about 13 lbs), they put a hanky around her neck for the size of an adult husky or german shepherd - I think they were trying to be funny, I saw it as their ignorance ... It's the new me, so I paid my bill never ever ever ever to return again. If I could give 0 stars / negative stars, it would be warranted.

Petsmart 369 Tarrytown Road Greenburgh, NY 10607. I am very upset and disappointed with the service received at Petsmart by the 2 groomers @ the grooming salon there. I will start with **. First able if you love your dog and want them to look good, I don't think ** is the person you need. Not sure if Petsmart is the place that you need. If they do not have people with the experience of grooming they should have a grooming salon. We love our dogs like our kids. You want them to look good. Shame on them.
I brought my miniature Poodle; his name is Toby. I asked him for a Teddy bear style haircut and showed her photos of how I wanted it. And she gave him a horrendous haircut. She left his face like a dinosaur. I wanted to cry when I saw it. The body hair cut is very short. Nothing look like the picture I show her. Haircut is totally horrendous. He looks so ugly. I don't understand how this girl can work there. I called the corporation and make a complaint and I will also report it to the credit card to dispute the charges. Unfortunately there is no money that can help my dog at this time. Well, all his hair was totally damaged.
And I took my other dog Nailah for a full hair, bath, and nail cut. And **, after having it for 3 hours with the dog, When I went to get her, says that she was only able to cut the ends since it was her first Haircut. She claimed she trim her hair, But doesn't look like she did anything. Beside a bath. I ended up paying $74.00 for her give a bath to my dog and trim her face a little bit. But thank God nothing compared to **"s bad work.
I never plan to take my dogs there again. Between Naila's bath/trim and the cost of $91.00 pay to ** to damage his hair I just throw out $165.00. Now way for corporate resolution and Amex credit card with the resolution of disputing the charges. Open your eyes and search good when you want to take your dogs for grooming. Again ** work I rate minus -0. This girl need intensive grooming training. And ** need to learn to communicate better with customer and let them decide if they can proceed or not.

My girlfriend and I purchased something in the store like we do every month. Usually my girlfriend will pay and I use my perks account in case I need to return or exchange anything. This particular time the Manager (Evan) stated that he would need the same credit card that was used to do the return. I have bought things with my girlfriend's credit card and returned using mine so when he told me the system would not allow me to do the return I knew he was lying. I told him that the purchase was made using my membership account and I had my girlfriend send me a screenshot of her card to show him it was the same card. I explained I lived across town and the purchase was under my account and I had the receipt but he said, "I can't help you."
Since when do they keep track of customers by their card numbers instead of their membership account? He was very unfriendly. I feel like I should of been treated like he appreciates my business instead of someone that's trying to get money that is not mine. SMH. I drove home, picked up my girlfriend and she went in and did the return and that's the last time I'm going back to the Clovis location. Rude, liar and inconsiderate and this was management.

Petsmart - Banfield Animal Hospital BEWARE!!! I was forced to go to PetSmart - Banfield in Westwood last week for my 17 year old cat. She had been suffering from Renal failure, unfortunately my regular Vet was unavailable. She was suffering, I knew it was time. I agreed to pay for the examination and euthanasia, but insisted that I take her home and bury her in the backyard next to my other deceased pets. Not only did they insist on Cremation but told me that it was "ILLEGAL" to bury pets on your private land in Massachusetts. THAT IS A FLAT OUT LIE.
The state of Massachusetts does not prohibit private animal burial, that is determined by animal control in each individual town. Norwood permits it as I have confirmed today.
