| Pet Smart nightmare!!!! You will die!!!!! I know this woman who took her baby Small dog(Not a Yorkie) to pet smart for grooming....and then went shopping. When she got back they said they needed more time because she wasn't done... My friend thought it was odd but went back out and when she came back the dog had a big bandage on it's tail... They had CHOPPED OFF THE TAIL!!!!! AND THEN.... had a staff worker put this poor thing in a BIKE BASKET AND THEN.... bike it off to the vet. ( We have a lot of foreigners that ride bikes because they don't own cars) WHen she came to get her dog that first time they lied and they said it wasn't done yet! They didn't TELL HER THAT IT WAS ON A BIKE ON THE WAY TO THE VET! Would you DIE!!!! I would have killed them!!!! Poor little baby hurting and bleeding on a BIKE bummping and boucing around in a basket to the vet. YIKES!!! And to think I used to go to pet smart!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

OMG that is terrible! Actually I even find it really hard to believe. Is this lady a reliable source? Also, don't all petsmarts have a vet onsite? Either way, that is terrible. Poor puppy I would definitly file a lawsuit.

| I don't know if that story is true, but I know from a good friend that she took her pom in to PetSmart and they cut him under his front leg...when she called they told her he wasn't done...but she went up there anyway and asked to see him, and they were trying to get the bleeding stopped before they let her get him. She just took him from there to her vet to get him fixed up. I wouldn't take my babies to Petsmart, and have yet to go to a groomer yet that I was happy with (only two groomer trips). I am just learning as I go...they might not always look perfect, but I know they haven't been mistreated!!

| Well I have no idea how you chop a tail off... but I have never seen a vet in our pet smrt and I am in there all the time... They have trainers for classes.... We live on the cape. Not much big store shopping around here. I drive an hour to petsmart and the mall.... So this might be a smaller pet smart then most??? I have no idea.

| not all petsmarts have a vet on site. the one by me does, but the one my parents does not. If you use the store locator it tells you if it has grooming, a vet, and/or boarding. just fyi. but the story does sound a little weird... |

A lot of petsmarts have a vet there, just like how they have a grooming service there too.

After hearing so many horror stories of different groomers, I'm learning to groom Rocky myself. Yeah he doesn't look perfect, but atleast I know he's in good hands, and if I do nick him, I have no one else to blame but myself. But hopefully that won't ever happen, I'm always really careful, and if I feel uneasy, I stop, even if he's half way done lol. I think for the face though I'm going to see if my vet can trim his hair there.
