| PETSMART Customers are Gross! I was @ Petsmart in Myrtle Beach, SC. the other day........there was a Family w/2 girls about 9 or 10 yrs. old both had Maltese puppies on a leash, typical looking Parents, their Dogs were constantly barking, snarling/growling wildly at every Dog they saw, they were all laughing and having fun? Their cute little puppies left squirts of excited pee and even mushy wet pooh, down every isle! No, they never cleaned it, even though they are cleaning stations and sighns posted every where in the Store! Even worse they never reprimanded their Pets for any Bad Behaviour, the barking, charging @ other Dogs, etc. And NO One, not even the Petsmart employees would pick it up? How "GROSS" is that?!!! Not to mention "Shopping" is one of the worst places to "Socialize", "Rescue" Pets for the first time? Just b/c Petsmart has Dogs there doesn't mean it's a good place to hang-out? Just 2 of my "Pet Peeves" about Petsmart and Petco! |

| Sorry your Petsmart is like that. Mine isnt. If a dog has an accident the wners clean it up or there is someone who works there who cleans it up. The dogs are always well behaved too. I have never had a bad incident

| My first reaction to the title of your thread was, Hey! I'm a PetSmart shopper! Okay, I know, you didn't mean ME personally. Sounds like a bad situation. I've never seen that in my PetSmart.

| I have taken Nikko to stores and he has tried to lift his little leg. Usually I will catch him and tug on his harness and he stops but if he piddles I always clean up after him. I think those types of irresponsible dog owners, like the ones you saw at that Petsmart are the reason dogs aren't allowed in many places. They ruin things for the rest of us who take responsiblity for our pets.

| That's horrible that those people would not clean up after there own dogs. Most people that I have seen at Petsmart clean up after their pups if they have an accident, and if they don't I see the store employee clean it up really quick and than they speak with the dog owner. As for the dogs behavoir, at the Petsmart I go to, they would be asked to leave and be given information on training classes. |

| I always tell my mom (I don't buy dog food there) don't ever buy anything on pallets on the floor from PetSmart. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | My vet told me that it is a good place to pick up illnesses as a lot of people take their puppies there first before the vet and they can have kennel cough and other viruses. I keep Cali in her bag when I go there.

| I've never had that experience either. I see that you're in Myrtle Beach... maybe the people were on vacation and figured that no one would ever see them again. Not an excuse, maybe just a rationale for why this people were so gross.

| The Petco near me is immaculate - any messes are promptly cleaned up... all anyone has to do is clean it up themself (which a lot of customers do) or mention it to an employee. And - I've never had any bad experiences at PetSmart either. **** People who go around with unruly, bad behaved dogs are no different than people with children who do the same thing. Don't blame the stores and other public places where people like this go..... They just don't have any manners or class...... ***** Have to mention that it's because of people like them that dogs are allowed so many places. Right! Carol Jean |
