    This place is super small and filthy!! The owner does not require proof of vaccines and then puts dogs in old, foul smelling cages. This place looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years! There are 15-20 birds kept in single, overflowing cages. Neighbors told me this place was open during the COVID-19 pandemic so I checked it out because my regular place was closed, and that was a huge mistake! The owner and operator is a shameless pervert, so I don't recommend any women or their young daughters coming here u less they want to be sexually harassed! I came on May 16, 2020 to get a de-shedding, shower & nail trim for my dog. The owner was polite when I walked in with my mom but made nasty remarks about my body when I returned by myself. He charged me $50 for a medium size dog and he didn't even do half the job! I picked up my dog 2 hours later and my dog was still shedding like crazy! Showing signs that he was not brushed at all! On top of that he did a horrible job at trimming my dogs nails. They were all different sizes & peeling backwards. One of his paws was even super red & inflamed. I WILL NEVER BRING MY DOG BACK HERE AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! Also, when I tried to paid with my credit card he said I had to pay cash but there was a credit card machine on the counter and no signs that said "Cash Only"! He must have been illegally opened during the pandemic. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Wish I could give him negative stars.

    Post grooming!

    Always bring my dog here to get groomed and he always comes back clean! The shop is small but it's clean and the owner is really friendly!

    Take my two dogs to get groomed here and he always does a good job! They are thoroughly cleaned and smell good. I recommend this place!

The staff was also friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable--unlike many chain stores that we all know & loathe. Definitely will be returning as a regular! Thank you :)

    My last visit was quite different from my first experience at this store…read more I stopped by looking for a donut pillow and hot spot spray for my pup. Luckily, they had a probiotic spray but the donut pillow selection was limited. Before purchasing the donut pillow, I asked if other sizes were available since I only saw medium. I was told what was on the shelf was all they had. I also asked about the return policy and received conflicting information--one employee said 30 days, while another said 24 hours. I purchased the pillow, canned food, hot spot spray and dog treats for around $92 and some change. I paid the exact amount in cash. After returning to my car, I realized the pillow didn't fit my dog, and he wasn't interested in one of the treats. Since only a few minutes had passed, I went back to return those two items. I requested a refund with a different staff member and they seemed hesitant to process the refund, explaining that their register had limited cash. Eventually, the refund was completed. The interaction felt unnecessarily difficult? The refund amount was also slightly short because not enough pennies were available. I appreciate that the refund was processed but felt disappointed in the overall return experience.

    Review #1017 2026-087…read more This is my go-to PetSmart when I adopted a Tabby kitten (Pepper) in 2006. After her passing, we brought home a Lynx Point Siamese kitten (that my cousin-in-law was spaying ferals in his neighborhood) last year & adopted a Birman cat from the Carson shelter. This store anchors the plaza with Walmart & Hobby Lobby, west of Del Amo Fashion Center. I started visiting PetSmart after I adopted our 1st fur baby, a 2-month old tabby, that was headed for euthanasia. She contracted tapeworms & had fleas, so I took her to a different pet store that was able to have her dewormed & give her a flea bath to clean her up as most places only work on dogs; I also purchased the initial necessary sleeping, food, & toy supplies there too. Since then, I've been coming to this PetSmart for about 2 decades. Prices are moderate - high, depending on the brand, & food & litter package size for kitten & cats. I can't comment on the other animal offerings. My cousin & his veterinarian wife were capturing the mother cats & their babies to spay/neuter them before the feral colony really got out of hand, & asked me if I was interested in adopting any. After a 1/2 year absence due to the passing of Pepper, we're back because we adopted a 5-week old feral Lynx Point Siamese in 2025 that we named Snow. This l'il stinker is soooooo adorable & intelligent. By the time she turned 3 months, she can sit, shake, & high 5 on command with treats that we got from PetSmart (= smart cat?). ;-) We've been lookin' for a friend for Snow earlier in this year, thinking she's bored at home & adopted this spring a beautiful Birman cat that's estimated to be 1 YO that we named Butter because he's melts your heart like buttah. He's not as quick as Snow to sit & shake, no high 5 for him, but I can sorta walk him on a leash. Also Pet"Smart?" Hehehe... Sometimes when I'm shopping with my son, he likes to wander around the live pets area, looking at the fishes (guppies, tetras, angelfishes), furry creatures (hamsters, guinea pigs), reptiles (bearded dragons, geckos, lizards), birds (parakeets, canaries). Last time he pulled me over to show their Glofish Assorted Sharks, Moonrise Pink Tetras, & Oranda Goldfishes. The staff here are friendly & helpful when you need something, though I don't usually see anyone on the floor because I'm visiting during low traffic hours like right after they open. The store is clean & well-stocked most of the time, though I have found their canned kitten/cat foods insufficiently stocked at times due to promotional discounts. I liked that PetSmart keeps its core loyalty program free with pretty competitive pricing on food & gear. And they offer high-value "x-multiplier" bonus points, particularly during holidays or targeted digital promotions, usually a 10x point deal that translates to 20% in savings! Rewards Tiers (annual spending requirement & earning rate/core perks): Member: free/$0 - $499; earns 10 pts/$1, member pricing, pet birthday treat. Bestie: $500 - $999; earns 12 pts/$1 (+2 bonus), early sale access, tier events. VIPP (Very Important Pet Parent): $1,000+; earns 14 pts/$1 (+4 bonus), holiday gift, top perks. I alternate between Petco & PetSmart, though I have to admit that I visit their competition a bit more due to their discounts & slightly better pricing on cat food & treats (e.g. Petco: Greenies $12.99, Science Diet Cat Food $35.99 vs. PetSmart: Greenies $13.89, Science Diet Dry Cat Food $36.99), & that they match their online discounts. However, they do have better prices on Science Diet wet food cans (e.g. $2.79 & $2.89 vs. Petco: $2.98). Though this time I was lured into PetSmart for their 30% discount on Science Diet & 20% on all cat food, treats, & meal toppers -- thanks! My fur babies love PureBites Minnow Freeze Dried Cat Treats & they're expensive as heck for only a couple of oz.! Greenies Adult Cat Dental Treats is another fav, better value than the minnows but pricier than regular treats. There's 2 wet cat food brands that they don't carry: Acana & Soulistic that I hope to see in the future. While finishing this review, I learned via Google AI Overview that PetSmart offers a highly lenient in-store price matching policy (comprehensive online price match), allowing you to bypass inflated shelf pricing by showing PetSmart's website or online competitors like Chewy.com & Petco.com. The cashiers will drop the price, & you can combine this matched price with active loyalty points for discounts. Has anyone tried this? If this is true, that would be awesome & more likely to shop here! Does PetSmart has "anything for pets?" I think they do... at least what my fur babies need at the moment: Science Diet cat food & their favorite PureBites minnows!!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by both the owner, Augustine, and his daughter. The shop is family operated, local, spotlessly clean, smells great, and is filled with beautiful, healthy birds. While the birds are fantastic, Augustine is the real star of the show. We ended up having a long, wonderful conversation with him. You can instantly tell when someone is genuinely passionate about what they do, and Augustine goes above and beyond. He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes immaculate care of every single bird, from grooming to boarding. Coming here feels like visiting an amusement park because it is that exciting and welcoming. Even if you are just stopping by for basic supplies and not buying a bird, you are made to feel valued just for being there. It truly felt like a privilege to experience a shop like this, which is why I felt absolutely compelled to write this review the second I left. Skip every other shop and bring your business straight here; nothing else compares. Don't let any negative reviews sway you once you step inside and talk to the owner, you will see why this place is unmatched. I am officially a customer for life for all my food, toys, and a new family member in the future.

    The staff were very friendly and it's apparent that they take excellent care of their animals. The…read morestore was clean and offered a wide selection of food, toys, & accessories. I will definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

The only reason this place caught my eye is because of their display of earth friendly toys. I took a look at all of them trying to figure out which one I thought my pup would like best. I also didn't expect to purchase any given most toys made at this caliber would be pricey. To my surprise, the one I picked out was under $10. I had to do a double take because I'm due for new prescription glasses, but there it really was. Under $10! Walked out happy with the purchase and looked forward to giving it to the pup. He loved it. I loved that he loved it and I loved that we helped mother earth - even if it was just 6 plastic bottles' worth! I had to rush the visit because I was notified my table for grub was ready. And since I didn't feel the visit was complete, I will be checking them out again once more. Lookin forward to finding more good deals!

It was worth the wander into this quieter wing of the Del Amo mall. The employee couldn't give a smaller rat's ass about the customer service though. She stared at me as she approached her cashier area, and I was the one who greeted her. I guess old retail habits die hard! Not a bad detour but definitely check out next door for Game Chest.
