Great grooming experience! Looking in the area, PetSmart offered the most services for one price. Many others consider everything add-on worthy. If you go online and look at grooming services you should find some great deals. I paid half price by using the package deal for a first time grooming. Beware that if you get the brush only package and there is matted hair, they charge an extra $10 for removal. I don't mind since they were upfront about the charge. After the service my two babies look amazing! They suggested some products for itching and other services specific to my pets. Great attitudes, well organized, and booking on the app helps save money. Overall a good experience and we will definitely return. read more

So upset to this place! I took my puppy (a white teacup poodle) to have his first hair cup The poor puppy got a ugly eyes infection on the eyes and it's been over 2 months and his eyes are pink as well as his lips area and back paws. Poor little guy I have to clean his ayes every 2 days to keep him ok. First and last time. Don't waste your time and don't risk your best friend to this place! And please be careful with the insurance next door that sell lies. read more

Great service from the roaming PetSmartonians wandering around. I went in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday to buy a new dog crate for airline travel. I will say that compared to Home Depot of other "big box" stores there is a lot of available customer service. Prices are not cheap - but not over the top. Clean store. Only one register open and when four-five people are in like someone shrugs and comes over and opens up a second checkout line. So the person waiting less time than me gets to check out before me. Very annoying and they don't operate like that in other countries - because customer service is first, not an afterthought when the lines are long. read more

DONT EVER GO HERE! I took my dog, too get a groom. But they wouldn't take him? You know why, because he just itches his ear, he got cleared for an infection! FROM THIS PLACES DOCTOR!! If you're gonna treat your own paying customers, atleast treat them with respect and dignity!! This place and service is horrible. I got him when he was a puppy, if I'm being honest this place probably gave him his itching sensation those products look horrible! I've seen the way the cats look depressed! Let them out for once. The dragons are worser, I've went to their cage just to look I was shocked when they looked depressed, and legit ran to me happy to see someone get attention! I honestly hope this place actually takes care of animals, because I will write another one when I come back. DONT GO HERE!! read more

Bottom line up front: this place has no energy, it is fully stocked with knowledgeable and energetic employees available to help you, but the dull atmosphere and lack of excitement in the building makes it a place that is not as welcoming as other pet places in the area. As I stated the staff is friendly and helpful and pointed me right to the products that I needed to get for my dog. As a big box pet store it is daunting how large and impersonal the product placement is within this organization. Thousands of collars, hundreds of different types of dog food, and even multiple dog beds and pet snacks. It feels like you have multiple choices but no uniqueness. Don't get me wrong there are times that I like to go to the big box stores and grab a discounted dog treat for my dog, but there's also times that you wanna find that one unique item that fluffy doesn't have. read more

Place is terrible for fish. Went in for fish and half the tanks were empty. ALL were dirty. Looked at the betta and more than half needed their water changed (water was yellow and had poop settled at the bottom) found 4 dead betta and several others that were almost dead. I tried to give them to someone that was cleaning the amphibian tanks and he ignored me. The only one that seemed semi concerned was the cashier. Not concerned enough to take the dead fish from me or call management (that was at the next register ignoring the whole thing). I should've taken pictures but I was so upset. I stacked the dead fish onto a counter area and left. I'd give zero stars but it's not a option. read more

I've been going to Pet smart for a couple of years now and this location by far has been the best everyone always so professional and friendly today we took our baby Vegas in for her routine check and was assisted by Ms Kyra this young lady spoke so well her tone and professionalism was unmatched she gave us some amazing advice that put us both at ease for our baby upcoming surgery that we've been prolonging for about 2 yrs.Thank you so much Kyra for being you and providing exceptional customer service while watching us cry lol!! Sorry read more

Very friendly service. Great selection. We were able to get the bed my doggo needed. Bathroom were clean and check out was fast an easy. I normally don't shop here but we needed a bed for the puppers and the ones online were super pricy. They even had the one we wanted on sale. We will continue to go there. The only unfortunate thing, like most stores, is that most products are made in China. read more

This location has diverse inventory and staff are super helpful and friendly. I was browsing the store while waiting for my pups to finish their grooming appointments and I had 3 different staff members ask if I needed any assistance. Wanted to give a huge shoutout to Tammy who displayed phenomenal customer service and helped me find the perfect dog bed for my pups! The grooming services here are fantastic and the groomers go above and beyond to make sure my Pups are taken care of. Gladys was amazing with my sweet boy Cooper! She showed patience and compassion and that speaks volumes! read more

All I can say is don't go here. Save your money and find a reputable groomer. Worst customer experience ever. It's also a hit or miss with the grooming staff. read more

I have visited this place twice for grooming. The first time they nipped my dog. I let it go as an accident and tried a second time, the second time they were really busy and my dog was nervous (which makes sense since they had cut him before) they tried to make it seem like my dog was being aggressive, just to send me off and not service me. I have taken my dog to the vet and a different groomer before and he has never been aggressive. Both times the employees were also rude right at the door it's like they don't want to answer any questions that you may have. Worst place ever! read more

We have been going to this petsmart for grooming for 10+ years, and within the last 6 months we have received terrible customer service. We had never had an issues in the past with our dogs getting groomed until 6 months ago. The groomers do what they want in regards to our dogs hair cut, we have a shitzu and they shave her down to the skin against our wishes. Last night she had a grooming appointment and half way through her service they call us telling us the refuse to finish her cut. They left my dog half shaved, down her back. It looks like my dog was run over by a lawn mower. When ever we try to get any sort of information or ask any questions, we are met with horrible customer service, the manager was less than helpful and they said "well I can waive charge for todays appointment" so you are telling me they were gonna charge us for half shaving my dogI? f I could give 0 stars I would.. Completely unacceptable behavior from the business. read more

Staff is for the most part unhelpful, I went in to pick up some hamster food and they had nothing, I mean absolutely nothing for hamsters. Yet they sell all sorts of hamsters??? Wtf. This place is crap. read more

Grooming staff is so friendly and kind. The groomer named Amber did my dogs nail clip & grind, and my dog did better than she ever had with cooperating with the work. My dog is timid with people so really appreciated her patience and gentleness when interacting with my dog. I really think it made a big difference with how she behaved/reacted, where she was visibly more calm and didn't move around nearly as much when getting them clipped and ground. read more

I don't how PetSmart could ever get less than 5 stars. The customer service is awesome! The staff is helpful and happy to give advice. In addition, you'll never find a better supply of everything animal related from food to costumes. read more

PetSmart - This happy boy loves PetSmart!!! - Pet Training Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Continuously forgetting items in my same day delivery or curbside pickup order, but cashier stated that it's rare for that to happen. You mess up 3 of my orders and that's "rare". It's very clear to me that they pick and choose the customers they will go above and beyond for and the lack of common sense and basic customer service is sad. read more

I only gave one star as it was required. My experience with the grooming department should be a forewarning to other customers. Upon scheduling my appointment online I selected that my pet would've had vaccinations within 48 hours. Upon arriving this information seemed as a surprise to the staff member "Penni". She turned me away and rescheduled me for two days later. When I arrived for my scheduled appointment, I was turned away again by Penni. This time she claimed my dogs, ear hair was too matted. I wasted a lot of time because of Penni's incompetence in assessing my case beforehand. In addition Penni had a very poor attitude, and made me feel very unwelcome. So sad that being treated with respect is not even present taking your dog to get groomed. read more

Absolutely terrible grooming department - I dropped my dog off at 6pm and went back at 815pm, because the stylist said that he'd be done around then. I come back her flirting with some random guy that was there before I left, and my dog had only been washed and was "getting 15 more minutes in the dryer". I confirmed there was no supervision where he was drying... he still hadn't been clipped or trimmed. What was he doing for 2 hours? I will never go back to this grooming location. Ever. read more

Service was very good. People who work there seem to enjoy what they do. That is reflected in their attitude when you ask for help. The two ladies who took care of me were genuine and showed me around the store and presented their stuff on sale and what I was looking for without putting pressure on me. Nice place to shop with your pet. read more

They have a wider variety of fish than the Bowie store and they are always staffed to help. They have great sales too.

I recently adopted my fur baby cat here a month ago and the process was quick and simple. The store was clean and organized that I didn't have trouble finding any product. The employees are super knowledgeable and gave advice on which products are best to use. The overall experience I had was stress-free. read more

PetSmart - He's beautiful, thanks PetSmart. - Pet Training Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I don't even give petsmart one star. DO NOT COME HERE. I asked for my dog to have a trim and they left him bald! They did not even have time to shower him nor cut his nails or brush his teeth. They used the excuse that they did not have "enough time" very poor job. I do not recommend pet smart. read more

This is my too go store for pets and accessories. However today one "sales rep" made me feel super unwelcomed and very uncomfortable! I have gone to this store for many years and love going here. But today I was treated like a second class citizen and I will not be shopping at this store any longer. The consolation was the shift store manager was very kind and understanding. Still a great store but not for me.... read more

I took my cockapoo to this Pet Smart to get groomed. I requested for a full grooming (Trim, Bath, Nails etc.) For starters, my appointment was at 2:30 and they did not take my dog back to begin her grooming until 4:00. Once they did take her back I assumed it wouldn't take more than 2 hours. By 6:30 I was still waiting for my dog. When they finally brought her out, her nails were not trimmed and her paw pads were not shaved down. I had to ask them to take her back to fix these issues. Upon getting her home o discovered that a large portion of her neck was nicked and ended up scanning. For an 11lb dog the 2inch scab seemed rather large. There had been no mention of this from the groomers either. Lastly, I was making an appointment on the phone and apparently by the time I was finished providing information someone else booked that time and it was no longer available. read more

I made an appointment online for a dog grooming a week ago. I filled out all the information online ... there was a question whether my dog has a heart murmur and I responded yes. There's a comment post check-in that "If you answered "Yes" to one or more questions in the questionnaire, an associate will ask for more details in store to continue learning more about your pet so we can best serve you." So bright and early on a Sunday morning, I show up with my dog for the scheduled appointment, and then they tell me they need to call my dog's vet to ask about the level of his heart murmur. Of course, being a Sunday morning, no one can answer that question. What a waste of time. In the time that I made the appointment to the actual appointment, you'd think that they would reach out to get more information and not waste time for me or for them by having to show up when it seems like a common practice to contact the vet in case of a heart murmur. And, to top it all off, all the questions that I answered online didn't seem to make it to the local store, nor were the staff there familiar with what PetSmart asks in the online questionnaire. I'm going to stick to local groomers and not places like PetSmart. Waste of time. read more

I want to say I have brought my two toy poodles exclusively here to the same person for the past 16 years. Penni. They passed last year, sadly, I rescued Pixie, a senior, diabetic 4.4 pound toy poodle and Penni has not disappointed. I have a hard time putting her name out there, because she is AWESOME, and I want to keep her to myself.... However, she is amazing! If I could bottle up her mojo, I would! Ask for Penni. She will take care of your pooch like no one else! It's all about who you ask for! I would not trust my pooch to anyone else. Period. read more

This is my least favorite PetSmart. They never have the pet food I need, and they seem to have very low quantities of items. They don't have a lot of staff to ask for help, and the staff seem to always be scrambling. I usually just go to Petco instead or the Petsmart in Bowie. read more

A week ago was my third time at this grooming salon, the first two times were just okay, but nothing egregious had happened so I booked a third time. When I arrived for my 8:00am appointment, I learned that the groomer booked both my dog and another dog at 8:00am. Since I arrived first, my dog was checked in first. I then went out to my car to leave when I received a call saying they could not groom her because she would not get in the kennel. It was never explained to me that she would be put in a kennel or else I would have gone elsewhere to begin with. The groomer blamed me for not making an "express" appointment to accommodate my pet. However, an express appointment was never offered or explained to me in the two other times I had been there. She stated that she could not groom my pet, because she had to groom the other pet that she made an identical appointment time with. Why were two pets booked at the same time? Why didn't they just tell me the time they could actually accommodate my pet rather than put her in a kennel to begin with as that is the time I would have been happy to bring her to avoid this altogether? She encouraged me to book another day, but I explained to her this is the only time I have available, which is why I made this appointment several weeks in advance, but she did not care. The manager came and doubled down and basically said it's my issue and they're not going to groom my dog. As a previous reviewer wrote (and I wish I had read it before booking), they are unprofessional. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I love visiting PetSmart. I have 3 cute birdies who flies around the house and a giant tnk full of Fishies. I feel very comfortable at the store and the folks working there are amazing. I love the fact that they stopped carrying larger birds like conures. Petco still does though and that why I no longer go there. Picked up some live plants for my tank yesterday and very satisfied with my experience. read more

Full disclosure - this review is about the Annapolis PetSmart Grooming Salon. Back in February of this year, I had taken my dog to get groomed at this location. Upon arrival, I had talked with the groomer, initialed the paperwork, and handed my pet over to get poked and prodded for the next 4 hours. A few hours later, I get the phone call stating that my dog was ready to be picked up. Exciting, right!? That's what I thought until I got there and immediately noticed that not only was the quality of her hair cut horrid (uneven ears, uncut hair in several places, etc.), but she had severe razor burn on her face, her stomach, and in her private area. While I have read that razor burn is not uncommon in Poodles, I would think that a pet grooming salon would be more familiar with this, and, at the very least, address it upon arrival because of its severity. (Thank God for coconut oil.) Without saying a word, I drove home. I'm not one for confrontation. I typically handle things like this in a "I'm never coming back here again" manner. My mom had a different thought process. As SOON as we got in the car, my mom called the salon to bring what we had just discovered to their attention. Adam, the manager, was not available, so we left a message and demanded that he call us back. When we got his phone call, he was very apologetic and quick to offer to fix her up himself if we brought her back in. At that point, I had already done it myself and, to be completely honest, I didn't want my dog to be in their care again. Adam insisted that the next time we brought her in, he would personally cut her hair himself and offer 50% off. I was extremely hesitant, but I went with it. Fast forward a few months and now we're in July. After spending the last few months grooming my dog myself, I finally felt comfortable enough to make the appointment for Adam to exercise his skills (2 weeks ago to this day). When I showed up, Adam and I had gone over how I wanted my dog's hair to be groomed, which ended with him asking me to go over what had happened back in February. I described the whole situation to him only for him to "let me know and to be clear" that this was a one-time thing and that they typically don't let this happen if a person calls and complains months after an incident... Really? We called the salon before we even reached my house. We spoke on the phone with HIM. I guess lectures are given to unhappy customers at this place, even though the customer did the right thing. Prior to these two experiences, I have never had an issue with the Annapolis PetSmart Grooming Salon. I've been a very happy customer up until now. As many other people have said in their reviews, the lack of customer service is real at this location and I don't plan on bringing my business back. No more getting bribed with free sub par service again. ***UPDATE: The haircut ended up being decent, with just a little bit of razor burn on the butt area. HOWEVER, it didn't take long to realize she did not receive a bath despite being there for the full 4 hours... I even watched him start her cut before I could even leave the building. See ya, PetSmart Grooming. You won't be touching my dog again. read more

Everytime I come in to the grooming salon my dog is welcomed with open arms. Peanut always shakes and is nervous but Amber treats him like one of her own. Thanks so much Amber for making my boy so comfortable and handsome ! read more

We attended group Puppy Training classes with Instructor Michelle. Michelle is an excellent instructor, and it is obvious she enjoys her job, making each class effective, enjoyable and fun. I signed up for the classes with the intention of just my wife taking her new puppy, but found myself also attending the classes with them, and always found myself looking forward to the next class. The focus is on group teaching the owners, with personal attention as needed to fully grasp the learning approach. The puppies attending also receive the important people and dog socializing benefits. The cost is very reasonable. read more

the only reason i'm giving them one star is because they did some of my dogs haircut right. the rest of it, god awful. i have a rough collie and they just shaved his whole torso. awful. by far the worst haircut he has ever received, it seems like they didn't even try? i asked for an outline trim, with an overall cut where needed, to take down his mane and tail size and to trim his ears. and they SHAVED HIM? i even showed a reference photo. i will not be returning holy sh*t LMFAO read more

This review is for the retail store, as I don't utilize the grooming, training, or vet. First off, this is a huge PetSmart! Very clean and well organized. When I went in yesterday, I encountered the most positive and helpful employees. I had a really nice conversation with a cashier as I was buying some dog food- she recognized my email address and said she is enrolled in classes at a college where I am an alum. Very pleasant and one of the few places around to sell the food I need for my senior dog (Iams Senior, dark blue bag). Sam's Club does not sell and BJ's does not either (they only sell the Iams Senior Weight Control). read more

Booked my dog an appointment for grooming and showed up to have it be cancelled due to laryngeal paralysis, a health condition that does not preclude her from being groomed and she has been cleared by her vet. They refused to see her and I had to cancel my other appointments and pay a cancellation fee to take my dog back home. Won't book here again. read more

I do not live close to this store but my 84-year old father lives near by so I gave him my order number for my dog food. He drove to the Annapolis store to pick up the order but Kayla Jones, the manager would not give him the order. I called the store to let her know that I was authorizing him to pick up the order, but she refused to release the order to him. I offered to send my ID but she hung up on me. I tried to call back and she would not answer. I called from a different phone and spoke to someone else who simply need me to confirm my father's name. Kayla should be FIRED. Her nasty "no can do" attitude toward a senior citizen is pathetic. read more

Poor customer service, ask for help in aquatic area, waited for 15mins still no one, ask again didn't seem like she wanted to help.

Love this store. Always clean and the staff is super friendly. They always have the items we need in stock.

This is regarding the grooming. My husband made the appointment as he usually does. He asked me to drop off the dog. I wanted to make sure I had the right location before I went in but couldn't reach my husband. The three groomers I met upon entering all said I did not have a appointment (without even stepping away from their grooming tables). 40 minutes later my husband called them back. Our appointment just popped up apparently. We will not waste our time attempting to go to this business again for grooming. We all have bad days but owe it to customers to try. read more

Don't bother to take your dog to their grooming department. Took my dog there in between appointments with her regular groomer. When I got there they said they couldn't bathe her because of mats on her ears and the bather wasn't a groomer so I had to come back and schedule with a groomer. Came back 2 days later and the "groomer" first threatened not to handle her because she "showed her teeth". (She has never bitten anyone). After running her hands all over my dog which the dog let her do, she said she couldn't cut mats out because her ears "might bleed and she could get a hematoma". I took her home and cut them out myself in 10 minutes with no problems. This place should be avoided at all costs. read more
