    I brought my dog here for the first time today. It's his birthday and I wanted to get him a birthday cake and treats. The staff here were so kind and very helpful. The store has so much to choose from! It is a dog's heaven! If your dog is one to grab things fast, keep your eyes on him or a VERY short leash because there are lots of treats at their level! They had so many things to choose from for both dogs and cats. Lots of toys, treats, food, leashes and collars. They were reasonably priced and in a great area. We will definitely be back!

    It's a good store. 4 stars is fair considering the fact that it's really difficult to run a non…read morechain pet store in the area where aquarium hobby is dying. This is more of a review of the other ignorant reviews here. Folks writing 1 star reviews are being overly dramatic. They claim the tanks are dirty and "full of algae"(?). Algae growth is a sign of healthy tank water. I would worry if the tanks looked sterile. In the aquarium hobby sterility kills. The other pets may look "miserable" because they were rescued but you didn't bother to inquire about that, did you? Confront the owner first, then write your review. Seeing mature and well cycled tanks with plants and a bit of algae is always a good sign in a fish store and if the water is good for the cat to drink, it must be good for you as well. Someone even suggested the owners should "wash their cat". Do they even know how cats WORK? Those who scrub their tanks, end up busy fishing out corpses the next day and I'm sorry to say, if you put in your tank a fish that has been swimming in the store tank for weeks and it dies the next day in your tank, it's ON YOU for improper acclimation or wrong water parameters. Having good test results doesn't mean that other parameters like water hardness and temperature check out. Most fish I bought there had no issues. Occasional fish death and illness can be random but can't be blamed on the person who just sells them.

The main guy helping customers was very knowledgeable and answered my numerous questions about setting up an aquarium with plants, invertebrates, and fish. As this was my purpose of visiting, I can't comment on the other animals and supplies they have, but they have a huge variety of fish, the vast majority of which seem to be doing well. Although the prices of the fish and plants are a bit higher than corporate ones, the fish are supposedly from a better source and healthier, and it's a local business. I got lots of product recommendations that I'll be buying later. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out for any of your aquarist needs!

    I was looking to set up my aquarium with live plants, small fish, shrimp, and snails, so this…read morereview will mainly focus on that. I'd been to another Petco and pet store, and I was happy to find this location had the largest variety of plants, decor, shrimp, and snails. When I went, they didn't seem to have many guppies (at least I wasn't shown them), and they didn't have any endler guppies at all (healthier less inbred than regular guppies). I ended up getting a few different plants and so far they seem to be doing fine. The staff member/aquarist Grace was very knowledgeable and friendly. She patiently answered all my questions, and I could tell she was passionate about taking care of the fish and plants. I separately had placed an order online for pick up, and she forgot to include an item, but I managed to get a refund on the product. Overall, I think this place has many strengths in having a variety of aquarium and plant supplies, plenty of live plants and snails, different colored shrimp, and seemingly every other fish except endlers. The staff I interacted with were friendly and very helpful. I thought the place was as clean as it could be although there's definitely a strong pet smell. If you order pick up, double check all your items are there.

    Thank you, Kelcie!…read more I recently had an excellent customer service experience here. A couple of days ago, I was driving out to Newton (from South Boston) on very short notice, because there was a miscommunication with the person I was going to be picking up my new kitten from, and I had to pick her up earlier than expected. The problem was, I didn't have any supplies yet (cat carrier, litter box, etc). So I quickly purchased a few items online (with in-store pickup) from the PetSmart in Newton, hoping to swing in at grab these supplies before picking up my new pet. However, the automated confirmation email from PetSmart said "if you place an order within 2 hours of closing time, your order will be ready the next day". I had placed my order at 5 pm, when PetSmart was scheduled to close at 6pm, so I was screwed. I was already on my way to Newton, and had no idea what to do if I didn't at least have a new carrier to bring the kitten home in. I called up PetSmart, explained my situation, and asked if there was anyway they could get my order ready for pickup today (and I was already 10 minutes away from the store at this point). Not only did Kelcie immediately go gather the items that I purchased, and had them ready at the front counter, but she also brought up an alternative cat-carrier that she strongly suggested I exchange for (for the same price) instead of the one that I selected online, which was too small, and my cat would grow out of it in a matter of months. She processed the exchange, and had me in and out of the store in a matter of a few minutes, and totally saved my day.

The techs didn't know how to open the cat's crate, and were completely clueless about how to handle her or clip her nails.

I said I am sorry am I very early and she looked at her watch and said it's 10:07 - you'll need to wait a bit like I was there an hour early. I then asked how long until he will be ready and they said around 3-4 hours. I called to check on him after that time and they had no update on him. Then their phone lines were down so I went in and they let me know he was up next on the grooming table but didn't have an exact time. At 4 pm he was finally ready and they let me know they brought him out to go to the bathroom( plus for them but I'd hope so as he had been there awhile!) I got there as soon as I could and my dog looked upset. The groomer came out and said how she couldn't do my dog's face because he was biting and thrashing and I should look into anxiety meds for grooming. I have personally seen my dog groomed and been told by every groomer in the past that he is a joy to groom. He went to puppy training classes and is always a calm dog in these situations. I let them know it must be something they had done or triggered to make him react that way because I have never seen my dog bite, he's a very sweet boy. They also claimed he was in " bad shape" and shamed me for his hair yet he was given a bath and brushed by a professional a week before this groom. I went back in because I was so upset by this experience and the staff and they just continued to blame my dog. Regardless, for an upscale dog grooming establishment they should be able to accommodate dogs for this price. Horrible experience- I have not written a Yelp review in a long time but I needed to for this. $95 before tip for this and they didn't offer an apology or anything but just blamed my dog.

    I had a very disappointing experience with this grooming service…read more I clearly provided instructions about the areas that were allowed to be trimmed on my dog Yeiko, and I specifically did NOT authorize shaving sensitive areas such as his belly or ears. Unfortunately, those instructions were not followed and the final result was extremely upsetting. Yeiko is not only my pet, he is my emotional support dog, and seeing him returned with areas shaved that I never approved has caused me significant stress and anxiety. As a pet owner, you trust professionals to handle your animal with care and to respect the instructions you provide. Although the company later acknowledged that the grooming did not meet their own finishing standards and offered a refund, the damage has already been done and I now have to wait for his coat to grow back. I also requested verification of the training or certification of the individual who performed the grooming, which is important when trusting someone with your pet's safety and care. Pet owners deserve transparency, professionalism, and respect for their instructions. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect those standards.

After picking up my dog from her appointment, she left with a limp that has only gotten worse. How rough do you have to handle my dog just to clip her nails to cause her to not be able to put weight on her leg? After speaking with corporate they were dishonest in telling me the cameras were off that day, when in fact this location doesn't even have them installed. What a LIABILITY (and how unacceptable) to not have any kind of video record/oversight of animals and their handling. There is absolutely no way for these people to prove that they weren't hit, mishandled, involved in an altercation, ignored, etc. Quite honestly with all of this I would be embarrassed as a groomer or a business owner. It is concerning to me the lack of training these dog handlers must have if this establishment is okay with not having cameras. Take your dogs elsewhere
