My thoughts are if you're on the clock and getting paid you should help the people that are spending money in the store and not worrying about buying beers after work ..

Having checked out the new PetSmart in Bedford I have a new found respect for this smaller sized…read morechain store. *It's much smaller (meaning you won't wander around aimlessly looking at things you don't have a need for). *While they carry far fewer food options for your pet, the brands that they do carry are superior. *They have a loyalty program (buy "X" bags get one free) *More centrally located (Clayton Park) *They won't have more than a few kittens at a time up for adoption. If you're lucky you'll get in and out without having your heart strings pulled too much. *Not a fish mill with dead floating fish in various tanks (since they don't exist at PV in the first place) *Just all around a better option unless you live out in Bedford.

I accidentally stumbled on this place while in the area yesterday. This store must have just…read moreopened recently and is a new addition to Clayton Park. It feels like a higher end pet supply store but is very comparable in price to other pet stores in the area. It does not carry any animals so you're not supporting backyard breeders or poor housing conditions. It has items such as pet food (dog, cat and small animal feed), pet treats, toys, beds, pet carriers, leashes, food bowls, etc. One thing that really stood out about this store, is that it carries items I've never seen anywhere else. The dog toys in stock were toys I've never seen before (I bought a couple for my dog and she's been squeaking them nonstop every since). They have a pretty big collection of dog leashes and harnesses which are modern and stylish. The quality of items seems quite high and the staff were very friendly and attentive. They did not carry my brand of dog food so I will still have to go to my regular pet supply store for that but besides that, I really liked this store. If you're getting bored with seeing the same leashes, toys and items at the pet stores around here, definitely check this place out.

We just realized the cat had ulcers when we had a pre-euthanazia exam with another vet.

Don't go there for haircuts on your furbabies. They make a mess and rip you off by charging…read morewhatever they want. My daughter took her yourkie there once, and they charged her almost 100 dollars for a basic trim. He only weighs 14 lbs, and anywhere else was only between 50- 65 max. They told her the price was high because her dog was a long-haired dog in which was not the case. He's a short hair yorkie with some curl to his hair. It's not a silky breed, yorkie, but they told her no, it didn't matter. The groomer gets to decide, and that's what they allowed. I heard nothing positive about this place, and I would never take my pet to a place that has such bad reviews.

Definitely worth a switch from my regular store.

I fostered then adopted my baby Hazelnut (nee Mecca) in April, a month before a planned long…read moreweekend away to Cape Breton. Hazelnut had been through 3 foster families before me, over the course of 2 months. Despite having a good life for 7 years (she was reluctantly surrendered by her family when they moved into an apartment), and despite the efforts of 3 amazing, caring foster families, Hazelnut was unsettled, unsure of where life would dump her next, and, I think, misunderstood by all the potential adopters who ran away with their tails between their legs. It doesn't help that I'm gone 40 hours/week for work, and there's nobody around to stimulate her brain cells. Hazelnut is an intelligent, loving hound, but she has some serious anxiety issues around dogs (especially, but not only, big ones), and around certain people, too (I have not yet figured out what makes her snap at people). When her triggers get too close, Hazelnut barks and lunges and froths at the mouth. So finding a dogsitter was going to be challenging! Cathy of A Dog's Day was not fazed by Hazelnut's seemingly aggressive behaviour. Our first meeting, at the beginning of May, 2 weeks after I had adopted Hazelnut, everyone nearly went deaf. Hazelnut was barking and bearing teeth, shouting "Hey everyone! I feel really uncomfortable right now! And I want you to feel that way too!" In spite of the fact that Cathy was then on vacation until a week before my weekend getaway, she planned with me an approach to introduce her to Hazelnut and gradually make the relationship more comfortable. She also brought along her son Jacob, knowing that his gentle, laid-back demeanor would be soothing for an unsettled dog. Cathy and Jacob met me at home and took Hazelnut for a walk. I gave them the key, and later in the week, they let themselves into the house, and took Hazelnut for another walk. All of this was free of charge, because they wanted to make sure the weekend would work out well for everyone, Hazelnut especially! Jacob did much of the dog-sitting while I was gone, and I couldn't be happier with the results. When I got home Monday afternoon, Hazelnut was lolling about on the couch. She was more relaxed than I'd ever seen her. In the course of 3 days, Jacob and Cathy worked some kind of de-stressing magic on Hazelnut. I will definitely be hiring A Dog's Day again in future. And if you need an experienced dogsitter (or dog walker) who is prepared to deal with practically anything, who will plan it carefully, and execute the plan with love and attention to detail, then you should give Cathy a call!
