    My Bella
    Kathy C.

    I am a 62 year old woman that has been struggling with depression and anxiety. My doctor recommend getting a dog. I tryed for months to adopt but with no prevail. I decided to go to pet express and try to purchase a puppy. Salesman was very rude as I was asking questions he was on computer. I asked about one pup and was told pup was 3,200 dollars. When I went to pick pup up that same salesman told me that I also received alot of extras that were waiting for me that day. I was excited to receive these extras for my pup. After my freind took the extras to the car while I waited to receive my pup. When Another employee gave me my pup the salesman I was dealing with turned to me and said I owed 3,700. So from what he told me 3,200 for pup it went to 3,700. I asked why was I being charged all that extra money, he proceeded to tell me that all the equipments that he said came with a puppy that we put in the car I had to pay for. I've never would recommend this place to buy a puppy or dog or any kind of animal at all. They are scam artists he should have never told me that the stuff in the store that had all that extra charge was included with my puppy it was not included I was charged for it by this time I had fallen in love with the pup

    I got lucky I love my puppy. But definitely do research before purchasing. I purchased because I fell in love and I did it spontaneously. I feel like I saved him because he is shipped back and forth and lives in that window cage pooping himself. The price that was given to us on the first day was 900 when we came to make it official they said sorry its wrong its 1000 Really annoying. But they gave us 100 dollars store credit so whatever that works. I bought a sweater there it was the last one and a little dirty they gave me 50 percent off. In terms of the staff here and how they do their job and customer service I like it! When it comes to the whole entire establishment as a whole bigger picture.. that makes me sad. But my puppy isn't there anymore he's home with me. And he loves loves the toys here they last alot longer even though they are super expensive.

    Has anyone ever seen these dogs on a walk or getting fresh air? These poor dogs are in cages all day long.

    I went back and forth between the Saugus location and the Braintree location for a week and every time I went the staff was so helpful.

We had visited other stores in the area but were put off by the high prices and the shoddy food/clothing selections. Our puppy really had a hard time the first year with stomach issues, so it was important to find a brand of food our vet recommended. Surprisingly, Gone to the Dogs was exceptional in both food selection(s) and clothing - even the toys are better made than most places offer - and the owner, Gina, and her mother, Kay, were more than helpful in guiding us to finding just what we needed and if they didn't have an item in stock (or didn't carry it in-store) they'd offer to special order and call when it arrived at a reasonable price. I know I'm waxing poetic about GTD (I honestly love this place), but I'd be remiss in not mentioning that the one (and only) time we had an issue with a product Gina gladly offered a discount for another item. (Had to bring this up because of another customer's negative posting) I admit to buying items that didn't work out for our dogs but knew that returning wasn't an option and was okay with this...lesson learned and a bit poorer. HA I As our dog family grew to two, I have to say the last couple of years of visiting more than a few times a month has endeared Gina and Kay to our family and we would be lost without the shop! Sound advice is plentiful, as is a good sample treat with a head rub for our dogs every visit and the doggy bakery (birthday cakes, cookies, etc.) is like no other! Honestly, the bottom line is that there is no other place like this in the Wakefield area. The prices are reasonable, quality & selection of products amazing, customer service outstanding.

    I have only positive things to say about PetSmart in Saugus. I brought my dog, Chloe, there…read morerecently to be groomed. She had been there many times before. The groomer noticed that Chloe began to behave strangely and when she picked her up noticed that her snout was cold and that her gums and tongue were white. They immediately took her to Saugus Animal Hospital. When she arrived there, Chloe's blood pressure was extremely low. She was very sick and we had to rush her to Mass. Veterinary Referral Hospital in Woburn. There we learned that Chloe had an aggressive form of cancer and was bleeding internally and had fluid around her heart. We were blindsided by this. Chloe had shown no signs of anything being wrong. She appeared to be a happy and healthy 7 year old dog. We said our goodbyes and she was euthanized. I want to give special thanks to Dr. Bloom at Saugus Animal Hospital. She did everything she could for Chloe. Also, my heartfelt gratitude to Jennifer, the groomer at PetSmart and to Anthony, the store manager. They went above and beyond. They stayed at Saugus Animal Hospital until we left. They were both visibly upset. Anthony followed up with me the next day. PetSmart paid for Chloe's cremation and urn. They certainly didn't have to. They had done nothing wrong. But, it was a very kind gesture. Thank you again to all involved. RIP Chloe...the sweetest dog.

    First off, I need to preface this by saying that I did NOT purchase a dog or any other animal here…read more I already have two wonderful dogs, both of them rescues from local shelters. I've noticed that most of the negative reviews are about animal purchases, so I just wanted to put that out there up front :-) I am reviewing the products and store experience as well as the Pet Spa located in their Lynn location. I recently found this place and I'm glad I did because they carry the dry food that I use for my pups (Evo), and they are a 5 minute drive from my house, so I no longer have to make 20-30 minute drives into Boston to get pet food. Yes, I am kind of a food snob when it comes to feeding my dogs -- nothing but the best for them, and if you are a good pet owner and do your research about pet food, you will find out that brands like Iams, Science Diet, etc., are NOT good dog food brands. Of course, your dog will eat them, but that's just because they don't know better. Please, be kind to your dogs and help extend their life and improve their health by feeding them premium, quality dog food. Pet Express carries a lot of the 'better' brands -- in addition to Evo, there's California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova, etc. They don't just carry dry and wet food, but also organic and healthy dog treats (my dogs' favorite is Zuke's) as well as toys, chews, rawhides. etc. Now, don't get me wrong, this stuff is all more expensive than the stuff you'd find at a Petco or PetSmart, but like I said, it's worth it. I love the variety of brands they carry, and though more expensive than non-premium stuff, the prices are fair and reasonable for the product. The store is also very nicely organized and clean, two things I can really appreciate. We also brought our two dogs here to be groomed in their Pet Spa. Please note that they don't groom on Sundays and as you can imagine, they're quite busy on Saturdays (and are closed by 6pm during weekdays), so call ahead if you want a Saturday appointment. Neither of our dogs have long hair that needs grooming, so we got them both baths, and they had their ears and bum cleaned, and their nails clipped. They both came out smelling nice and fresh, with cute bandannas tied around their necks, looking as happy as can be. The groomer commented on how well behaved they were, and I was glad to hear they were happy the whole time they were there. if you are a first-time customer, bring your vet papers with you, because you will need to show proof that your animal has all the requisite shots in order to be groomed. The cost varies per dog, but we paid $38 for our larger dog and $32 for our smaller dog. Of course, it is impossible to walk into the store without being immediately drawn to their wall of adorable puppies. I felt bad for them, watching them run around and get all excited in their glass enclosures. It breaks my heart that they have to be in there, but I know they will all find homes eventually, so that eases my heart a little. The staff here is also friendly and helpful. We like coming here and bringing the dogs with us. We let them sniff around and "choose" their own treats, and the staff is always friendly with them, giving them belly rubs and treats.

    My experience at this establishment was highly disappointing even though I did receive a full…read morerefund, which was greatly appreciated and I felt was deserved. I entrusted my dog's grooming to an employee named Henry, whom I believe misled me regarding his capabilities. When giving specific instructions, Henry admitted he wasn't a professional groomer, but assured me he could handle the job even though I offered to pay a cancellation fee. He said he didn't want his time wasted and was very persistent that my dog get groomed. He said he would prep my dog for the certified groomer who would be doing the trim at the end. Upon picking up my dog, I was shocked and upset to find that she had received a full haircut instead of the requested trim, which was completely unsuitable for her breed (a woolly husky). The cut penetrated her undercoat which allows her to regulate temperature in the summer. Henry, rather than taking responsibility, argued that I had requested a haircut which was "appropriate for a husky", which is untrue. Fortunately, the groomer, Karyn, who understood the situation apologized sincerely. Upon closer inspection at home, I discovered that my dog still had matting, had a very uneven haircut, was unexpectedly covered in oil (which was not the case when I dropped her off), and her feet were still dirty,--issues Henry had claimed he would address but did not. Following my initial concerns, I had a phone call with the owner of the Dirty Doodle, which further highlighted their unprofessionalism and unwillingness to accept responsibility for the poor service. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this establishment, particularly for owners of long-haired dogs. It appears they may be better suited for grooming short-haired breeds. I had to get my dog groomed elsewhere same day.

    A couple of hours at The Dirty Doodle was just what my beloved Goldendoodle needed after having…read moresurgery and a week of radiation (the various shaved areas for IV's and incisions were starting to grow in, and the rest of his nice hair was long), and I found them after searching for a place with GOOD reviews that could get him scheduled soon. I talked to Sarah (one of the groomers that shares space with them) and she completely understood the situation, as well as how "needy" he would be since every time he had been dropped off somewhere lately, surgery or something scary had happened. Sarah was able to schedule him in just a few days, I dropped the boy off first thing in the morning and he was definitely soothed by her calming personality. When I picked him up a couple of hours later, he looked terrific and wasn't as crazed as he usually is after he has been without me! Sarah is in a room by herself, so it was just a one-on-one with music, so he wasn't freaked out by a lot of dogs running around and barking. Sarah understood the situation of a sweet pup who is just getting older with medical issues (cancer and arthritis), and that made me feel so much better. She operates her grooming business as All that Jazz Grooming, you can reach her there or connect through Karyn at the Dirty Doodle (love that name!!). Woof Woof!!
