    Oct 18, 2022_Cherry Hill PetSmart Injury to a 4 lb Maltese. Vet photos here. Permanent damage caused by unskilled "groomer"

    Zero Stars. My puppy was badly and permanently injured 10/18/22. Careless, unskilled "groomer/mgr" caused damage seen in 2 photos below. Please read the company history BEFORE you subject your pet to this degree of pain, trauma, permanent injury, or death (links below). Both my dog and her new dog owner were traumatized. I'm left with all the damage done and the constant effort required to desensitize my traumatized dog. Petsmart behaved inappropriately/unacceptably post injury. Lynette/ "groomer", took no ownership and claimed to know nothing about it. How is it possible to not know she pushed a claw clip through a 4 lb dog's freshly bleeding scalp? This is all about money. High volume business w/quotas to fill for max $ to the detriment of vulnerable animals. It's criminal. Company response was apathetic, lazy, ignorant, unresponsive. I informed them. Delay delay delay. All sounded clueless about this injury and how to respond professionally and responsibly. I called at least 6 people at corporate. Vet reported groom injury /cause was obvious. Asked to share irrefutable proof/photos, $300 vet bill and provide free access to contact my vet and maybe you'll be repaid for vet bill. That was all at my own expense, time, energy, effort to get response. They demand every detail after causing permanent trauma, fear of groomer, permanent damage to her scalp and hair follicles (4 lb tiny scalp). Defenseless animals deserve qualified people who care and are not this stupid. Their history of injury and deaths is the cause of a law devised to protect pets from their own inferior care standards. They over-book for volume/money to the detriment of animals. I thought Lynette cared about my dog. I interviewed her early on. I made a judgement call to trust in this human being. She never contacted me after learning of injury she caused. No explanation, no apology. Inexcusable. My dog's once thick head of hair could not have been penetrated by plastic prongs without having had intense pressure applied to penetrate her tiny scalp. Vet shaved area to allow wound to be treated (topical pain relief and daily pain meds at 4 hr intervals requiring 2 injections. See photos. Ask yourself how anyone could not know of the pain she caused my dog. My dog yelps if hurt. This person has no credibility. I could not get close to her head due to dog's reaction so my dog was in pain unnecessarily for days until vet saw her. Groomer had a responsibility to inform as she required emergency care. I called Groomer immediately upon return home as I saw such a dramatic behavior change. Groomer said nothing happened. I believed her because I used to trust her. My error in judgement will permanently haunt me because I have the reminder of it everyday now. My dog is a puppy. Two vet techs had to hold my dog down to remove the clip from her scalp as she was in severe pain. This "groomer" has proven Inhumane, classless, unprofessional, careless, and dishonest. Every groomer and pet owner who see my photos are horrified. All say it's inconceivable that a real "groomer" could be so unskilled and oblivious. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/projects.nj.com/investigations/petsmart/__;!!A5zumVDngA!iEIHhruTZbHmOgBZiJpQHPpQNcJU705jE-su1gzoOv6MFb9zc0nRb3SklfxxsMUFKYoONCVpA_GXnB3bPxmi$ https://petsmart.pissedconsumer.com/must-read-do-not-use-petsmart-grooming-201806271290053.html

    This review is for PetSmart as well as Banfield Pet Hospital located inside. While I fully understand that the two are not entirely responsible for one another, both failed us completely. We brought our dog in to get groomed at 1:30 but by 4:00 we received a call that he was kept in a cage that he had scratched at and now he was bleeding "worse than the technician had seen before". Our dog loves his crate, he lays in it all day long and when he does scratch, if he gets excited, he never bleeds. So, what was poking out of this cage that allowed our dog to get hurt and, for that matter, why was our dog alone for long enough to get hurt? The groomer takes him to the Banfield pet hospital located inside and after about an hour a vet comes in to speak with me. It is 5:00, they are about to close, but before they do, they show me the hole in our dog's paw, which was not only gruesome, but dangerous. Yet, the vet insists that he will be fine to wait for stitches until the morning and that the antibiotics would be enough. By the time we got home the booties that we were given to protect his feet were filled with blood. We had to take him to an emergency hospital. We took our dog in to be groomed and he ended up with a cone and two mini casts for two weeks. Yes. they reimbursed us for the vet visit, but that does not take away from the fact that not only did they put him in danger while at the groomer, but that the vet at Banfield would rather go home than make sure that his patients are taken care of. Please do not take your animals here. The more people we tell his story to the more horror stories we hear that are similar.

    They took my wet Golden Retriever who got kicked out of Petco because she was just to scared of being groomed so they didn't even dry her they just gave me back my soaked dog to put in my car. I called them and told them the story they said it sounded weird to them and they were getting close to closing but they took her as a walk in and said she was a little bit scared of the dryer but once they turned it down to low she was great! I can't express my gratitude enough and they said bring her back anytime which we will!!

    There prices are higher than shoprite. But, they are open when you need them for those immediate items.

    #1 it's a very convenient location for me, and props that it's right next door to Target, so it's really a no-brainer when it comes to where to go for my cat and dog.

    If I could give no stars, I would. I will NEVER go back to Heart + Paw Cherry Hill…read more I recently took my dog here. I explained the situation/problem and they took my dog out of the room (out of my sight) to express his glands. I heard him yelp so loudly I almost went back there. Over $300 later, they shaved his rear end, told me his glands were empty, sent me home with scented wipes, and told me it was just a hygiene issue. They shaved his rear end so close to the skin that the area was extremely irritated and raw. I couldn't use the fragrance wipes if I even wanted to. I've had my dog for almost 3 years now and this hasn't been a problem until a few weeks ago. I took him to another vet about a week later, who within five minutes of examining him (IN FRONT OF ME) found a large mass in the exact area where the other vet had shaved. This vet not only checked his glands and found the mass, but also tried to drain the mass (which was unsuccessful), took samples to send to the lab to get tested for cancer, and provided two different medications. Did I mention it cost less than Heart + Paw? I asked for a refund and they only offered a credit. I demanded a refund and told them I would not be returning. The Dr. who called only seemed interested in covering themselves, explaining that they have seen several pets who come and within a few days, the problem drastically worsens and they weren't able to examine it at the time of the appointment. It felt very much like the Dr. was trying to say this mass grew within the week between seeing a vet at Heart + Paw and going to the other vet. Now, I'm not trained in veterinary medicine, but with the size of this mass, it seems nearly impossible. You're a vet office. Patient first; not covering your ass first. WARNING: Do not take your pets here. Save yourself the hassle, money, and disappointment.

    I've been coming here for years - Drs. Scoleri and Schumacher have been excellent. Highly recommend…read moreif you're in the area and looking for a vet!
