Rude manager

PetSmart - Rude manager
Explore video interviews
Advertisements

As I was shopping in the Niagara Falls, ON location today, I spoke to the manager about my disapproval of the Pride display and asked why it was necessary to have it up. He replied corporate required it.

I responded that I disagreed with seeing it, to which I was then informed in very curt and rude fashion that he didn't want to have this conversation with me. I said that I can take my money elsewhere then, and he advised me I was welcome to make that choice.

I have been a regular customer of Pet Smart for many years, and to be told my opinion doesn't matter is an insult and affront to me. There are many people who are sick of having people's sexual preferences shoved in our faces. My pets don't care about human sexual preferences, and your stores are not the place to be presenting them.

This country is literally burning from coast to coast with judgment because of our "pride," to which the Bible says comes before destruction, and it is evident we are well on our way to that. If Pet Smart cares so little about what is important to me, I will be making my purchases elsewhere and encouraging others to do so.

All the gay stuff and what is going on crazy right now is all being done by the Communist Democrats and other Communists. The DEI push is communist’s doing.

Black Lives Matter, all communists. Jan 6 so called insurrection was not an insurrection. The Communjst Democrats planted Antifa in the crowd dressed as Trump Supporters, that was all them climbing the walls for a photo op. All rigged, like they did the election.

Check out cpusa.org - they will open your eyes.

That is the Communist Party USA that Biden and Obama are part of. I agree with you 100%

That is all happening right in front of our eyes, that’s what’s going on right in front of our eyes, sending all males released from prisons to invade our country. Even Chinese military age men are coming, hmmm, I wonder what for.

We’ve already caught a little hidden Chinese lab with a Chinese scientist working with deadly diseases and viruses. Now what is all that about? It is time to end all this Communist BS.

They also want a One World Order, which actually is One World Communism. It is time for everyone to wake up.

Unresolved payment

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

If I could give no stars, I would. I had to use pay pal to complete an online order because it wouldn't take my credit card.

What online shop in 2024 doesn't take credit cards?! I have told petsmart about this and they act dumb like they have never heard of this error, so no fix there! When talking to others many people have found the same error with trying to buy online.

So, now, pay pal authorized my transaction but the payments didn't complete on pet smarts website. Now pay pal and petsmart are both saying they can't cancel the transaction and are saying for me to contact the other.

Suspicious at best! Now pay pal says it can take up to 29 days for pet smart to take the payment.

It's all nonsense and I'm not buying it!

The only say we have is where we spend our money and say good bye to my cash Pet Smart and Pay Pal! See ya, next!

Grooming Issue

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
PetSmart - Grooming Issue
PetSmart - Grooming Issue - Image 2

Had grooming appointments on:

September 26 2023

December 21 2023

February 18 2024

September she was completely matted, a bald shave was necessary and discussed over the phone and in the store. This was ok with me.

December we discussed her haircut in store.

To not cut off too much hair just trim and clean her face and paws up. Her haircut was beautiful they did a wonderful job, she smelled good and seemed very happy...(This showed it takes 4 months for her hair to grow back)

February we discussed to do her haircut exactly the same as the last visit which was in December. When they brought my dog out she was shaved down completely no hair on her body and looked horrible.

When I asked what happened they admitted only once that her notes weren't updated. Since they failed to update her notes, the only notes they had was from the bald shave in September.

Why weren't her notes updated from such a dramatic cut and why wasn't it discussed via phone call before the shaving started?

Pictures available but not attached.

She's just a small dog and her hair kept her warm. The rest of that day she was shivering cold and appeared still very itchy as if she didn't have a bath and was irritated. Now she will need sweaters and things to keep her warm since it's still winter.

They also kept trying to make me at fault by repeatedly asking me if I had more than one account which I didn't appreciate.

I always give the same phone number each time...No one apologized for the error of not keeping her notes updated and the manager offered nothing to reconcile the issue. I'm super disappointed.

Disappointed by my dogs grooming

I reaching out to you because I'm concern about how my dog's hair cut. I wanted her to get a poodle cut with fluffy hair on the top, but not too long.

Instead of what I asked for and after talking with several people from the shops' location, was complete misunderstood, and instead my golden doodle, got a scissor cut that was uneven especially around the paws and snout.

I was completely upset. T called to speak to the Manager and was issued a refund, but I wanted to reach out to you to make you aware of the incompetence, lack of adequate training, and shortness of staff, which is a recipe for disaster.

User's recommendation: Keep to basic grooming, this location has to work on training staff better.

Petsmart buckhead ga location

Petsmart buckhead ga location
Original review Mar 04, 2024

Hello, i had an incident with grooming at store #287 where i received a phone call from a private number and it was my groomer Tyajanee P who stated she had a difficult time with my dogs legs. That he was trying to bite her however my dog is a trained service animal and hes been in situations where he should bite and he has NEVER nor would he ever.

I paid the extra 10$ and called my best friend who is an attorney because after i received this voicemail i immediately thought she must have injured my dog. Upon arrival i was having a panic attack and did not want to discuss it however i had already left a review that the manager Ashley and Tyajanee confronted me about. Ty proceeded to follow me out the groomers door and followed me outside then spoke to assistant manager before waiting outside when i had told assistant manager she specifically said "no im going to handle this stupid *** *** The assistant manager told me michael matthie will call me tomorrow however id like corporate to know about this situation. I had to ask assistant manager to escort me to my car and have Ty go to the salon because she was still waiting for me outside while i was crying to the assistant manager about being threatened and the situation with my dog.

Petsmart is the one where i took my training classes with while Dakota was a puppy in 2019 in North Dakota. He also was groomed multiple years in TX as well as Cumberland location in GA.

I was never charged a special handling fee and as i said this dog received all the pets smart training in addition to being privately trained as a support animal and he would never ever bite which is why i immediately panicked when i received the groomers phone call. I have no idea how this escalated to me fearing my life but id really like this incident to be taken seriously.

Please review footage of my dog being groomed on March 4 at 1:30 pm along with incident with employee as I was exiting groomers

Not getting a satisfactory response

I am not getting any results from my complaint. It involves Faulty travel crate handle broke when loading on aircraft. I cannot return it as I am in Europe for almost a year and petsmart is just sending the same message almost word for word that I need to bring it back to the store I purchased it from. I am not In Canada and need to purchase a new crate for my return in October 2024. This could of been a terrible accident if the handle had totally pulled out and my dog would of dropped onto the pavement.

Bait and switch advertisements

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
PetSmart - Bait and switch advertisements
PetSmart - Bait and switch advertisements - Image 2

I went into the Superior, CO Petsmart store because they had BOGO signs for treats/toys advertised in the windows that said BOGO in really big letters regarding pet toys or treats.

They REGULARLY offer buy three get one free which is not a BOGO... It is a B3GO.

It did say on the sign outside in small letters "check the details in the store." BOGO means "buy one get one free" .

Not buy THREE get one free...

This is a very shady business practice that amounts to "Bait and Switch" Even the manager, as he was saying that those are the signs he was sent... I could tell... didn't even agree with what the heck was coming out of his mouth (and probably felt stupid saying it) because it was not really the truth, regardless of what the "details" claim.

This is really lame. It's like Subway trying to charge extra for the bacon on a "turkey bacon" hoagie when that it the label they put on the sandwich.

If you are going to do a BOGO, then don't lie to customers with your signs just to get them in the store.

And it is lying, and trying to slip out of it on a technicality.

I am 65 yrs old. I damn well know what BOGO means; I worked in retail stores.

And while I'm addressing this... Can you really afford the whole $2.50 that you'll give me for spending hundreds of dollars at your store for being a "valued" customer? Gee Thanks.

The treats are $14.99 a bag, and I don't get a break unless I buy 3 of them ($45) for an alleged BOGO that really isn't one.

I am not happy with this crap.

It IS technically lying to customers. It is a racket.

Handling of pet for cermation

PetSmart - Handling of pet for cermation

MY dog passed away Dec 30 in my arms I took her to pet smart( been going since she was 3 months old now 11 years) for assistance on how to handle this. The doctor can out and announce she had passed , I knew that.

A pet smart associate at the hospital and I was in a room and options were explained. I asked she be cremated and scattered, I was then told that I would her form the crematory and I also asked for the paw prints when asked if i wants.

Almost 2 weeks called from pet smart about renewing wellness Plan Really? She passed! Went in to Pet smart Summerville( Azalea)and was 1/11/2023 the name Paws, Whiskers, to my surprise location is in NC.

I should have been told that. She was cremated 1/09/2023 with other animals ( no you cremate people together with others)tape and no paw print as told be Pet Smart. I cannot paw prints and PET SMART cannot console me in any way I am devastated...

which means nothing the bottom line make money NEVER again will I set foot in PET SMART I am beyond upset and nothing they can do to console me. I cannot get a copy of my pet paw prints I am sooo n tears

Brittin B, worst dog trainer in *** ga

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Had the worst experience with so called dog trainer Brittin B . Very unprofessional, wasted our time with her, she was rude and not interested in training our puppy, this was after we had already paid for her trainings, luckily got our refund once we spoke to her superior. I wish petsmart would do a proper background check before hiring low quality trainers. Very disappointing and such a waste of our time.

I was really mistreated at the PetSmart at voice of America in west chester ohio. The lady and I qoute I asked her who was the manager she said me.

Anyway you could tell she did not want to run the register when I came in. Shirty attitude I go through to return my item and states without a receipt we will not return this. I showed her on the back of the receipt where even if you dont have a receipt you get in store credit which I wanted anyway. I was returning a bird cage I had the original box and cleaned the birdcage up before I tried to return it.

If you dont have manager skills you should not be a manager. I went to another PetSmart and no issue no argument returned quietly and I will say the PetSmart on mason Montgomery road rocks and Kelly the manager is awesome

Driver speaks/reads ZERO english/couldn't even read st. # & started delivering to WRONG HOUSE!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

If Petsmart has to use co's outside of their employment, then they need to AT LEAST GET PEOPLE WHO SPEAK/READ ENGLISH! The delivery person not only couldn't speak a word of English NOR understand it, when he pulled up at the wrong house END of our street and started to UNLOAD while my husband is on phone telling him he is unloading at WRONG HOUSE!

I had to go out, walk to the end of the street and DIRECT him with hand gestures to turn around and have him FOLLOW me to MY HOUSE to deliver! How INSANE IS THAT ...the guy can't even MATCH the house number on his paper to the NUMBER CLEARLY PRINTED ON MY MAILBOX!? Then "I" had to walk back and forth to street to grab each of the 25 lb bags of litter from him (FIVE BAGS) because he wasn't bringing it to the door like he is supposed to. I am a Senior mid 60s and hauling FIVE 25lb bags even a short distance isn't easy for me.

Also, why the heck are we tipping PETSMART'S RECOMMENDED $7+ tip to someone who can't even do his job!?

HIRE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND CAN READ FRIGGING STREET ADDRESSES!...how did this guy even pass a driving test if he can't read NUMBERS for God sake! NEVER AGAIN DOING DELIVERY THRU PETSMART!!!

I get the same lame excuse every time my address is put in improperly. Seriously from three different banks? I can never complete a sale with a card. I always have to use PayPal. But yet the charge goes through to my bank and sits in pending. So how is it the charge can go through to my bank to pending but the sale can't be completed? They've lost a customer over this. It has been going on for at least 3 years. They need to improve their website.
