    Thanks to Meghan, my less than one year old dog can now do tricks her 11 year-old brother can't do, and can even communicate with me using buttons! What more do I need to say...

    Puppy adopted from PetSmart event!

    We got a puppy in January and PetSmart has been my go to spot for shipping. I used to go to Petco, but realized the pricing, sales and rewards program worked better for me here. We also had a hamster and preferred most items from here as well. The East Dublin location is awesome..the staff is amazing and helpful. - West Dublin: found or pup here! -East Dublin: Come here for our grooming services usually - prices aren't bad and have done a great job.m so far. Did the puppy training here (received discount with adoption) and it went great.

    We take our little dog Charlie here for bath and brush every month or so, and we just love everyone in the grooming department! They are so nice and friendly and always give us a report of how he did, it's the sweetest!! He always comes home well-groomed and smelling delightful. I appreciate this PetSmart location staff so much!

    The big box pet stores PetSmart and Petco dominate the pet supply market. I don't mind shopping there, they employ a lot of people and the employees are generally very polite and nice. With that being said the management of the East Dublin store needs to bring up their level of professionalism. Here is my experience yesterday with the two Dublin California stores West Dublin & East Dublin. West Dublin PetSmart is the closest store to me and I usually pick up my dogs food there. For the past couple of years they have always stocked the brand and type of dog food recommended by my Vet. (Never out of stock). Yesterday, I went to the normal aisle and I could not find the Royal Canin specific type my dogs eat. Asked one of the associates and she called the manager who looked up my account and then went on the store computer to verify the West Dublin store is no longer stocking my particular product. He then told me per the computer East Dublin has two bags in stock. Perfect ! Arrive at the East Dublin PetSmart, greeted at the door, the only customer in the entire store. Went straight to the Royal Canin aisle, two bags of my dogs food in stock. Picked up a bag and proceed to the cashier. While checking out, I asked the question " are you going to continue to carry this product"? Understandably, the cashier did not know, so she asked who I presumed the manager who was preoccupied with something else. He gave me the easiest coined answer. "I don't know". I asked the question so I would not have to drive 10 miles out of my way to continue to patronize PetSmart. Two completely different level of professional attitude. I know Petco carries it. Plus star for the nice store and courteous cashier and greeter.

    Always great to be able to stop by and grab whatever my animals need. I hadn't realized that I was out of cat food and thankfully we were across the street and I saw the Petsmart sign and I was able to stop in and grab some last minute food for my cat. The staff was great and we're super friendly when we walked in I definitely will be returning if I need anything.

    Groomers cut our dog's ear. DO NOT GO HERE FOR GROOMING SERVICES.

    If I could give 0/5 stars, I would. After recently moving to the Livermore/Pleasanton/Dublin area, we wanted to continue using PetSmart's grooming services, as our dog has been getting his haircuts there (previously at the Daly City location with no issues). An hour after we dropped our dog off, we receive a call informing us that his ear was cut and was being admitted to Banfield for further treatment. Upon picking him up, he was shaking due to the trauma. That night, he went into shock - loss of appetite, consistent shaking, heavy salivation due to nausea, and extreme fatigue. We had to admit him to the nearby pet emergency at that point, which PetSmart rejects to cover the expenses for. Those tragic stories about pets getting badly injured from PetSmart's grooming services? This is yet another one. Our mistake was entrusting these half-assed "professionals" who could not even have the decency to be truthful about what happened when it is clear they snipped his ear. (The grooming front desk said that there were so many mattes in his hair that the BRUSH got caught & cut him.....??????) Long story short, DO NOT GO TO THESE GROOMERS AT THIS LOCATION. Even at any location of this company, you run the risk of your pet getting injured.

    Our fancy cage and our new bunny, Boba.

    Why so many poor reviews? I had a great experience on Labor Day when I found out I was getting a bunny! The staff were all friendly and welcomed me in. I mentioned that I needed bunny supplies and they sent over Jessica who was very knowledgeable. She pointed out everything I would need and I was done in 15 minutes!

    Making A dog Tag

    This spot is one of our fave Pet stores. There's always friendly and knowledgeable staff and it seems like they always have what we need, especially for our wee little pup. There are tons of great treats, toys and best of all...Royal Canine for Yorkies. I cannot tell you how many pet stores I went to and had no luck with finding that specific one for Yorkies, but I can always find that here. In addition to having what my pup always needs, they also have pet grooming services and pet training sessions. As well as a Tag making machine, where my kids and myself were in awe of how it works. This place is well organized and clean. They also have hand sanitizing stations for your use.

    I reached out to Gary for help with my dog Peaches and her leash reactivity, and he was extremely…read moreprompt in responding. The initial consultation went very well, and I learned so much about dog communication and how to better support Peaches. I also learned that she is a highly anxious dog, which explained many of the challenges I had been concerned about. We enrolled in Gary's six-week program and finished with the tools and knowledge needed to keep Peaches on the right track toward recovery. Just like humans, dogs rehabilitate at their own pace, and over those six weeks Peaches made significant progress. We're looking forward to enrolling in advanced training once she's ready so she can enjoy more freedom off-leash. Gary is not like other trainers we've worked with. He doesn't rely on obedience-based shortcuts or gimmicks. Instead, he teaches you how to work through real situations and explains the theory behind his approach so you truly understand what's happening and how to handle stressful moments. Most importantly, Gary teaches you how to become the focal point for your dog, which has made a lasting difference for us.

From day one, it was clear he knows his stuff and loves what he does. A lot of the time, Giorgi was too overwhelmed to participate. On day 1, Giorgi hid under a table the whole session. But that's ok because Gary was really training us. By the last session, Giorgi was walking around, watching other dogs and people walk by, and still listening to commands. Gary taught us how to help Giorgi feel safe, calm him down when he's stressed, and build trust. We've already seen such a difference at home. Gary is knowledgeable, patient, direct (in the best way), funny, and available when you have questions. He celebrated every little win with us! You can tell he truly cares about the dogs he works with. We still have more work to do, but thanks to Gary, we know how to keep moving forward. If you have a dog with anxiety or fear, seriously, go to Gary. He's the real deal.

We couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience and will 100% be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where their dog will be truly cared for.

Roy at PawPaw is truly amazing and the only person I trust. I came home to a beautiful, clean and better dog than when I left!! It's like she remembers her early training again-- she sits on command, is quiet on command (now HOW did you do that??!!) and is just perfect!! Holy cow!! Roy sends pictures and videos every day so you know that she is safe and happy. I loved seeing her "tucked in" at night with the other pups. I don't trust anyone else with my dog other than family and Roy. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog. I appreciate it more than you know.

He soon evolved into a ball of energy with increased enthusiasm and decreased focus. Angela welcomed him with such patience, kindness, and skill. She helped us understand how to channel all that puppy energy in the right direction and ease our concerns when we felt frustrated -- and we felt frustrated A LOT. With guidance and consistency, Marlo not only earned his STAR Puppy Certificate but also his Canine Good Citizen certification--something we honestly doubted would ever happen. What we appreciated most about Naughty to Nice was how supported we felt as new puppy parents. They celebrated every milestone with us and gave us the confidence to continue building on Marlo's learnings. Marlo indeed went from naughty to nice all thanks to this incredible team.

He overall is very eager to learn and was doing well with his early obedience training but definitely runs the house. Within ONE HOUR, Toshi was able to tolerate the harness, and for the FIRST TIME since he came home, he let me brush him for a minute straight without biting me!!! We got so many great tips and a list of homework to work on until our second private session later this week before we start our AKC STAR Puppy classes (already secured the date!) I cannot thank them enough for their tips, their kind words and efforts towards Toshi and I am confident to believe he will be a great dog with the right tools.

Riesling is a 3-year-old miniature poodle--super smart, but she struggles with separation anxiety and can be a bit reactive when strangers enter our home. In just three lessons, I've already seen a huge improvement. Annalise breaks everything down in a simple, practical way, and her methods work. After our first lesson, Riesling had already learned sit, stay, come, and touch. During our second lesson, we reinforced those skills and began working on her reactivity. Annalise came to our home and showed me easy, effective strategies to prevent issues before they arise, always with kindness. My favorite part of her training style is that it's entirely based on positive reinforcement--no punishments, no techniques that feel harsh or uncomfortable. Riesling genuinely enjoys our training sessions, especially the high-value cheese treats. Annalise is incredibly patient, not only with Riesling but with me as well. She takes the time to explain the "why" behind every exercise, and she provides detailed printouts of each lesson so I don't have to take notes during training. It really allows you to stay present and focused. I highly recommend Athens Dog Training to anyone needing support with their reactive dog. Annalise is truly wonderful.

Mitch also trains me and leaves documentation to help me retain what he's demonstrated.
