    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.

Initially we checked out the Ridgeside Instagram account and then after contacting them for additional information we decided to sign Flossie up for the 3 week board & train program. We were given our trainer's contact info in case we had any questions or wanted additional info prior to the start date. Gina picked up Flossie and for the next three weeks we got pictures and videos every day of Flossie's training progress plus also information for us to learn about the training. All of this made the transition back home easy and seamless. Gina's instructions were clear and concise and she also made sure that we understood the hows and the whys of training. Since Flossie has been home Gina reached out to see how things were going and said she was available if we had any follow up questions. We are very happy with the outcome and feel the training really firmed up our loosey goosey training up to that point. Gina gave Flossie the foundational training she needed in order for us to meet our goals with Flossie and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

It might seem expensive, but we were away for a 2 week vacation, and just boarding a dog for that length of time isn't cheap. Our vacation turned out to be beneficial for Abbey as well as ourselves.

Controlled K9 came to our home to evaluate her and recommended a four week board and train to work on basic obedience, leash manners, and off leash recall. We loved that she was taken in as a member of the family during her "boarding school," and they provided regular photos and updates on her progress throughout. She returned to us her same happy, sweet self in the house, but basically a new dog on leash! The Controlled K9 team trained us on how to continue her training, and remained super responsive to our follow up questions. It's incredible to see the transformation and we're so grateful to the Controlled K9 team for changing our lives - and Zoey's - for the better!
