    I would not recommend this store for any grooming service. I have a medium size golden doodle and…read morethere have now been 3 different problems at this store which will force us to never return. The first two were an appointment canceled 1 hour before it was supposed to begin. The other was the worst haircut a puppy had ever received. But both of those things happen. Someone has a bad day or emergency circumstances. Today's interaction was entirely unacceptable and unprofessional. We arrived for a bath and brush after we had spent the weekend at the shore and the dog was playing in the water and dirt. My dog was visibly shaking as she is fearful of this place from previous grooming appointments. When we check in, we see a groomer who is shaving a small dog. The dog is audibly crying and the groomer is making fun of the dog to their coworkers. Just my luck, it is that same groomer who comes to take my dog. She touches my dogs ear and then the back of her legs and says "nope we can't wash her today. She needs a cut. You must reschedule." Turns around and walks back behind the counter......that was it. No explanation, no discussion, no working with us to figure out how we could get her washed today. This worker was incredibly rude and I hope other dogs don't have the misfortune of being groomed by her. We will not be back to this Petsmart. If you need grooming, I'd search elsewhere. (Below is my doodle who they turned away and refused to bath)

    I've been bringing my dogs to PetSmart Bethesda for grooming for at least 12 years and have never…read morehad an issue with my usual bath-and-short-summer-cut requests. Today, however, was an entirely different experience. The two groomers who checked us in seemed determined to dispute a straightforward request. The issue was not the advice, but the manner in which it was delivered. Rather than offering a brief professional recommendation, they engaged in an unnecessarily contentious exchange that transformed a routine check-in into an unpleasant interaction marked by remarkably poor customer service. There is a distinction between educating a client and presuming the need to lecture one. A disappointing experience, to say the least--and an avoidable forfeiture of what would otherwise have been a well-earned tip.

    Why is it that the one thing you are looking for always seems to be the item that is out of stock…read moreeverywhere. I was in need of dry food for my cat and every single place I had stopped was completely out of it. I thought that maybe PetSmart would be the place that would actually have this. Walked in and navigated to the cat section. Checked the shelf, and it was a negative. I even scoped out the top shelves to makes sure it just wasn't pulled forward. Even though they did not have the exact item, I did grab a bag and head towards the registers. Why in the world was the worst part about this store? Like they planned for it to be a total breakdown area. I got to the register and there was only one open. I was third in line and more were coming behind me. The hold up was a customer had an item that just happened to not be scanning and was the last one in the store. Instead of seeing that a line was forming of people and opening another register, both the cashier and another employee went off to search for a solution. Finally, another employee came to their senses and noticed that we were all just standing around. Another register opened and the line started to go down. By the time I had gone through the register they still hadn't got through that customer with the unscanable item.

    I dropped my 1 year old small Chihuahua mixed dog at PetHotel for 10 days and she came home…read morelethargic. When we picked her up, they could not find her bed or food we provided. Finally, they came out with her bed and blanket but said they couldn't find her food. When asked, the guy at the desk said he called someone who had been taking care of our dog and said the wet food was given twice a day to help my dog poop. If that's the case, then they didn't feed my dog for at least 2 days. When we got her home, all she wanted was to eat and sleep. She wasn't her playful self. Now, when she walks for a few minutes, all she wants to do is curl up for hugs and to sleep. They said they gave her a probiotic to help her poop but I'm beginning to think she couldn't poop because she hadn't eaten. During her stay, she lost 1 pound and for a dog that wasn't quite 8 pounds, this is extremely dangerous. Also, when we picked her up at noon, they said she hadn't had her morning walk. Who doesn't walk a dog in the morning? Another thing that is not acceptable is the fact that they made changes from day camp to 1-1 time, so my dog was left alone for most of the day. They made these changes without contacting me or the emergency contact. They barely made an attempt to socialize with my dog, did not take her for walks, lost/misplaced her food and bed, and gave her a probiotic without any consultation or approval. On top of everything, they charged me more than what was expected and now I have to take my dog to the vet because something happened while she was there and after speaking with the veterinarian, they need to see her as soon as possible. I will never take my dog here, again, and will tell everyone to stay away from this place.

    I was looking for somewhere new to get our 14 year old Cockapoo groomed, as our regular person had…read morebooked out too far. After doing a bit of research and getting past poor experiences with Petco Grooming, I made an appointment to bring her in. The building doesn't do much in the way of building your confidence, and the inside is pretty gloomy, but Rebecca who groomed our dog was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive to listening to how we wanted her groomed, and acknowledged her age and mentioned how they would look out for her and give her breaks etc. when I picked her up, she looked perfect! Exactly what we wanted, and even better than our regular groomer. I will be switching to bringing Sadie here from now on to have Rebecca groom her. She looked great, and our dog didn't seem overly stressed out and she was super happy. I would highly recommend bringing your dog here, and definitely recommend Rebecca. She is awesome!

    I asked the manager for assistance, and he told me that an employee was helping another customer…read moreand would assist us next. I was there to buy about five koi fish. After finishing with the other customer, the employee said they would come back to help us, but they never did. We waited around 20 minutes by the fish tanks without anyone coming to help us. To make matters worse, the employee spent most of the time on their phone instead of helping customers. It was very unprofessional and showed a complete lack of customer service. Poor communication, no follow-through, and a total waste of our time. Horrible service.
