Other reviewer Kaitlynn has it right: you go in and you see the grooming tables, and the place is still clean and functional. The high half wall was a little surprising at first, but I quickly came to appreciate it once I realized that there were a few dogs trotting around and playing before and after their groomings. In fact, my little corgi immediately found a tennis ball and started scurring around as soon as he went through, and for me, that's a very good sign that he's relaxed enough to play. Their tagline of "every groom starting with a belly rub" is a great representation of their incredibly friendly and playful staff. It's not just a fun time, though. When I came to pick up my dog (and I completely respect their asking you to come back after they call you -- imagine your pup jumping from clippers once it sees you), he looked amazing. Great paw trim and they even managed to do his nails without him *completely freaking out.* I appreciate that they wrote down my requests as I dropped him off. I'm going to be a regular customer, and tell everyone I know who's looking for a groomer.

Very disappointed with the service. We recently moved to…read morethe area and needed a professional groomer for our 5 year old American Lab. He has skin allergies and must be groomed twice a month. I asked many questions before our visit and specifically asked for Ellen to do the grooming and was assured she would. I discovered that he was groomed by someone else. He is well trained and easy to groom. He came home with very poorly trimmed nails, rough and close to dangerously short. I checked his ears and only one ear was cleaned out, the other was full of debris. His coat seemed as if it hadn't been cleaned and rinsed thoroughly. I was hoping to write a positive review, but from my experience I can't recommend this establishment. Constance M.

Do not recommend!!!!…read more My friend left about a month or two ago due to the mistreatment of the animals. Your dog will be stuck in a kennel for 6-8 hours without a potty break and come home covered in feces. The under staff is paid $14 a hour so of course the animals are getting treated accordingly to the pay. As for the owner, she is on her 3rd dui and it is known she has used the business account for her own personal expenses with lawyers. The employees went over a month without being paid because she chipped into the business account to help her last dui case. Still a nice lady just VERY shady. The upfront guy is a nice man, Tom I think his name is. Last year my cousin worked there and said danny (the gm) shoved a dogs noses into poop because "it spitefully shit" and the dog knew what it was doing. Another customer watched through the window as a small heavy set woman smacked a dog in the face for not being compliant with the groom. All I can say is that it may seem like a great place but behind closed doors things are different Go over to canine classics spa! Love the owner and the employees.

One occasion, the backroom was full of "f-bombs" and I still continued to wait. There are many groomers in Bloomington that could provide great service with a professionalism.

To Whom It May Concern (and yes, I'd send this straight to upper management):…read more Let's talk about what went down at your Bloomington, IL PetSmart on June 11, 2025 at 1:00 PM, because wow -- what a disaster. I walked in, un-greeted and unnoticed. I headed to the aquatics section for five comet goldfish. One associate was helping two ladies, so I figured he'd circle back. Spoiler alert: he did not. I waited around, browsed nearby accessories, gave all the polite "I-need-help" body language -- and nothing. No staff in sight. Turns out, you now expect customers to scan a QR code to get help. Cute in theory, but not obvious at all. No sign, no heads-up -- nothing. I'm 38, I've been keeping fish since I could reach the tank, and never once have I needed to scan a code to ask for help. It's giving tech gimmick instead of customer service. After a solid 15 minutes of being ignored, I helped myself. I bagged the fish. No one noticed -- well, except another poor soul also lingering for help. I could've walked right out and no one would've known. That's how invisible customers are in your store. Then I head to checkout. There's a line four people deep, one sluggish cashier, and suddenly staff start magically appearing when the line gets long. A woman (shoulder-length brown hair, light blue eyes -- I assume the manager on duty) finally offers to ring me out. I explain that no one ever helped me, so I got the fish myself. Her response? Not concern, not an apology -- just attitude. She lectured me about the QR code, like I was supposed to be a mind reader, and tried to make me look stupid in front of the entire line. Newsflash: the only thing more embarrassing than being scolded for helping myself is the fact that I had to because no one was doing their job. Let me be clear -- I've worked in customer service for two decades. I know retail. I know what it looks like when employees hide in the back and leave the floor empty. I also know rule #1 is don't embarrass your customers -- especially the ones who are still trying to give you their money. The one bright spot? Your tall Hispanic associate -- he's always been kind and attentive. And the grooming team? Fantastic. But this manager's behavior? It soured the whole thing. One rotten attitude, and I'm done. So here we are. Feel free to check the cameras -- I was 6'5", wearing a purple shirt, black shorts, and a hat. You'll see exactly what I described. I'm not making this up. I just expected basic service. What I got was a masterclass in how not to run a store. Congrats, PetSmart. You've lost a loyal customer. Catch me at Petco from now on -- where the pets (and customers) actually get treated right. Sincerely, Andrew (Formally yours, now Petco's problem)
