    We used to take our dogs here all the time everybody was nice and friendly at first. We missed one appointment and everything changed. We had an appointment a little less than two weeks ago and both dogs hair is horrible. Would not recommend and we are not going back.

    Also, her haircut was crap! I had to trim her when she got home..So Petsmart technically you owe me money!Ears not even even

    First.... I'd like to start with I've been a LOYAL customer (grooming and normal consumer) for 18-20 years bringing pet after pet to various Petsmart's- I've been coming to this location for probably 8 years. I've always been extremely satisfied with my service for the most post (& always tip the stylist nicely regardless of my satisfaction of haircuts- for the most part my pooches always looked nice but there have been some so so 'do's' which is understandable especially for newer employees. No worries. But this last experience will be my LAST experience with any and ALL Petsmart's which truly saddens me. We have an elderly gal- 16. She can't see or hear but she's a feisty old girl but so loving. So on dropping her off it was clearly her stylist wasn't feeling it (I've never seen her before and for the most part I know or have interacted with most of the stylist since we've been with them for so long) she immediately upon seeing my girl was negative (not nasty per say but as a matter of fact) saying 'I might not be able to finish her cut because of her age' I said I understood and that's why each time I call to make appt I always give the run down (she's old- can't see or hear- and sometimes gets anxious for those very reasons- please keep her by her sister also getting washed and clipped bc she's soothes her) then goes on to say my girl has dementia- I mean WTF!?!- that was a quick shift- regardless if she does or does not (she does NOT- she's just an old lady) - who the hell are you to play vet and keep saying in a rude tone you'll do you best blah blah blah. I should've gone with my gut and taken both my babies with me and forgo haircuts- but after years of loyalty I figured it was just a one off and once she realized how sweet, yet yes, anxious my baby was- everything would be fine!! (Mind you my girl also has ZERO teeth- not a one in her mouth not a stub, snaggle- natta! So she was in zero danger/harm!! Oh and she weighs 8 pounds!) so to say when my husband left I was rather pissed but he attempted to calm me- & I was good UNTIL we went back to pick the girls back up! A different woman came out (original lady was nowhere to be found- and other woman I too have never seen) she came out and soooo as a matter of a fact said- this will be (my dogs name) last haircut with us. We can no longer cut her. I was a WRECK! I left my husband with them so I could go pay and get the hell outta there. I cried at the cash out while I paid. I then went back to the grooming dept where my hubby had my girl and our other was on the ground waiting g to be picked up. I took my old lady from my hubs as I was still crying and he plucked up our other girl. I gave them yet another nice tip (not as nice as normal but still was 18%) . The ONLY saving grace in this deplorable situation was one of the other employees (and I'm so upset I can't remember her name- but she's cut my girl in the past- an older yet beautiful lady with glasses, blonde with bangs) she could see or at least I felt she knew I was upset- she started further explaining- how my baby is older and it can be dangerous bc they don't have the right harness to hold older pups (which shame on you Petsmart- considering the amount yall charge for services and products- quit being cheap!! It's a harness! Imagine all of you older employees/higher ups in the company not being able to get a hair cut because you are old- that's discrimination and disgraceful!!!) yet your employee gave us suggestions of private home services etc.... I so appreciated her for at least helping us think of an alternate solution. So no worries, my old lady will not be coming back per yalls rude 'firing of my best friend' but neither will my other girl!!! Nor will I EVER shop or support Petsmart EVER again! I've told numerous of my friends about this situation to see if I was blowing up for no reason- and everyone has agreed this wasn't cool and they too will not be returning. That said- I've always sang yalls praise and have sent biz yalls way- NEVER AGAIN!!! You have lost a very LOYAL family for your ill treatment of old dogs!! Yall should be ashamed!!

    This what he looked like before

    I dropped my Shih Tzu off at PetSmart in North Frederick (Osprey Way) this morning for a bath and trim for his appointment at 10am, I was told that he would be started by 12 and he would be ready by 4pm. Brendan, the groomer called me at 5:35pm to tell me that he had other dogs to get done so my dog would ready by 6:15pm. I sent my son to pick him up and he was told that he was not ready at 6:30pm. At 6:43pm I called and spoke with Brendan; he told me that he had a bunch of other dogs to get done and he was sorry. He transferred me the store manager; he apologized for the lack of communication on their part. We were reimbursed for the grooming but when my dog got home he looked as a child had done the grooming; he was supposed to have a round face! I am so upset; the communication is the least of my concern! Look at my dog before and after! He looks like someone chopped him up; not a professional groomer!

    Before and after

    Petsmart has always done a great job with my Franklin. He is always so happy to go and comes back a new man! His ears had some matting so they had to shave them which was fine because I signed the waiver and they told me before it was probably going to happen. They did such a great job making him look cute!

    Empty shelves, again!

    This is the closest pet store to me. I'm willing to forgive the higher prices, but more often than not, the shelves are pretty bare. I came in a week or two ago and the shelves were empty. Checked back today and could only purchase 2 cans of cat food, because that's all they had. I'm not sure how these businesses stay open; had they had their shelves stocked, I would have dropped some serious cash! Too bad I'll have to find a new pet store, this was so convenient.

    The plants are fine, some with a couple more brown and decaying leaves than others but that's okay.

    Kelia was the most amazing trainer for me and my dog. He was an anxious, dog reactive guy, and it…read moreaffected every part of how and when we interacted with the world. Since he's worked with her over the five-week training period, he's made a complete 180. Now we're able to walk around the city and not have him bark at every dog we see on the street. I want to point out that because my dog is innately anxious, it affects his physical state too with eating and other issues. Kelia shared that she used to be a vet tech and made me feel the most comfortable and confident with helping me set up a plan for when he might have an episode due to the transition and what all would take place to ensure he would be okay, loved, and healthy. Long story short, she cared for him for the days he was struggling, kept me updated, and he came out of it because she was purposeful, knowledgeable, and more than capable to handle the situation. I can't recommend Kelia enough for anyone seeking support and/or confidence in how they can better work with, love, and respect their dog. Bonus, she's genuinely such a joy of a human being!

    Our family highly recommends Controlled K9! We adopted our boy Mortimer last year after he had been…read moreliving as a stray, and we were really struggling when he came home with basic manners, reactivity, and having him settle in with our other dog. We ended up sending both of our boys for a six-week board and train with Kelia. It seemed to only make sense to send both dogs so they would have the same baseline training. Kelia was amazing! She kept us informed just about every day with videos and texts so we could see that the boys were happy and making progress. When Kelia brought the boys home, she spent a few hours with us, showing all the commands and techniques that she taught them, so we had a seamless transition. The "place" command alone has been lifechanging. (Although as you can see in the picture, they sometimes refuse to use separate mats, LOL.) We use the command before we feed them, initially when guests come by, and when we just need them to settle down a bit. It has reduced the stress and chaos in our house tenfold, and we actually can see the boys relax when they know they have a place to go and chill out. Kelia also gave us the tools to make leash walking and general obedience so much more successful. There are a lot of options out there for training. What set Controlled K9 apart for us was (1) our boys lived with Kelia, her family, and her dogs during training - they were not staying in a kennel and were in a real-life, loving environment, and (2) the promise of lifetime, free follow-up support. The boys have been home now for about 3 months. The training has stuck, and we feel like we really have the tools we need to make life pleasant for all of us, including the boys. Kelia has also proactively checked in to make sure things are going well, provided tips on the best way to reinforce training, and has responded quickly when we have follow-up questions, including offering a visit. Over three months later, we are still completely satisfied with the training and support provided by Controlled K9 and Kelia, and we would use them again in a heartbeat.
