Petsmart

[JenaLiat]

I just have to say that I am truly impressed with my local Petsmart. We first went for training Claire and LOVED it!! She has had her nails ground there as well. We started buying everything from there and browsing all the time! I recently bought a bulk bag of food and the very next day learned that it was terrible for her!! (Science Diet) I took her to get groomed (we will see how that goes...) and while I was looking at a much higher quality food a sales person asked if I needed anything. So I told him about my food problem, he told me to bring it back and they would refund it!! How great!! I was so upset about the food that I didn't know what to do and now I can go exchange the food!! YAY!!

The groomer was done with Claire in about 30 minutes!! Not typical I hear but that's great!! Claire didn't cooperate with the clippers so her ears are a little uneven, but not the groomer's fault! I am happy overall, it is just a change!

OMG I thought I was the only one that was impressed with Petsmart lately...They have new "Martha Stewart" brand doggy stuff like beds, clothes, dog bath tubs, toys and all. I get my babies Eukanuba food from their and they have more variety then Petco! Their customer service is excellent these days. I must agree Im also very impressed.

Not knocking anyone, but most people on here don't seem like petsmart people if you know what I mean! lol I love the Martha Stewart line!! Everything is SO cute!! They do have excellent customer service as well! The people know us we go so often!!
I don't have a ton of money to spend on Claire (or me) lol So it is nice that I can shop there and get cute things for my baby!!

I loved it for our training, and I can count on them to always have the Blue Buffalo Small Breed Puppy in stock. I didn't have a great experience there with grooming my other dogs, but for a quick nail grind it's been great.

Mia loves to go to puppy play! They have it on Sat. mornings and it is for smaller babies to get together for a social. SO we obviously have to shop for something when we are there because she has been SUCH a nice little girl. M

I was very pleased that they let me take an open 15.5 lb bag of food back after I found out it was not a good food for my baby.
I ended up getting Blue Buffalo for Claire. I hope she likes it! How do your dogs like that food?

I like my neighborhood PetsMart. Sales people are friendly and even the patrons! I usually only go in their once/twice a month so I can pick up food or some random thing Troy may need.

I found a really nice groomer at a doggie daycare Troy goes to close to my job, so I take Troy there since PetsMart is known to have long wait times and is often crowded.

Nothing wrong with shopping and giving your money to someplace that you like.

I like my local Petsmart too. Sometimes I can find really good deals there. As for grooming we do go to petsmart but, only make appointments with one certain groomer she has been grooming my dogs for fourteen years. She does a good job and for two dogs my wait was usually one to one and a half hours.

[MyBabyFynnlie]

I adore petsmart! I really, really do! I go in there all the time - sometimes, just to look around and kill time! Yesterday, infact, I went in there in preperation of Fynnlie's home coming, and got a Martha Steward dog bed and a few other random things. I really wanted the tub but they were sold out. How depressing is that? It's okay, though! I'm going back next week.

Also, I plan to have Fynnlie take their training classes. Are they good?

[daniellealberta]

Spike took beginner and intermediate obedience there and we had a great time. We go there quite a lot because it's a great store, and there are several staff who remember Spike from his classes and greet him by name!

ALso, because it gets so cold here in the winter, I will often take Spike to PetSmart for his "walk", and no one seems to mind!

[MyBabyFynnlie]

Thanks so much! I really think it'll be fun. Did it help with Spike's potty training? I really want to train him to go outside when he needs to. I mean, I understand that it's a little harder to train Yorkies to go to the bathroom outside.

I don't want to train Fynnlie to use the potty pads. I just don't want him to get used to going inside. They have a 1 hour potty training class that I'm thinking I might need to do it... I don't know! I'm just a nervous parent!

[JenaLiat]

We did the puppy training class at Petsmart and they try to help with potty training, honestly the only that has worked with us is crate training...everything else with the class was great! We are going to do the next class this fall!!

Oh, please explain what you mean! I love Petsmart and so does Joey, I think going to Petsmart has made him love traveling in the car, he's always hopeful we'll be stopping there. When we were looking for a food, it was great that they would allow us to return food that he didn't like, I didn't find out about this till rather late in the process though. We also took the trick training class, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I haven't used their grooming, except nail clipping, I wouldn't feel comfortable about leaving him there, some of the girls don't seem to have much experience, but they are good for nails in between sessions with his regular groomer who lives much further away.

I just got the feeling that most people on here are opposed to chain stores like Petsmart.....it was rude of me to make assumptions!! This is my first dog (on my own) and there was a lot I didn't know before I found this site, a lot of people make their dog's food and give them vitamins and all sorts of things I never would have even THOUGHT about!
