PetSmart Grooming offers a comprehensive pet care experience, boasting a 4.4/5 Google rating from over 3,000 reviews. More than just a pet supply store, it’s a vibrant hub where pet parents can find an expansive array of pet foods, toys, apparel, and essentials, often at competitive prices. While the convenience of online ordering with reliable delivery and helpful chat support is a perk, many appreciate the opportunity to shop in-person, avoiding misrepresented products found elsewhere. Beyond shopping, PetSmart provides invaluable services like affordable cat nail trims ($15, often leading to generous tips) and a highly-regarded grooming salon, exemplified by superstar groomers like Alexis who handle pets with extra care and professionalism, even those with special needs. They also facilitate pet adoption, connecting loving homes with beautiful cats. Though some experiences highlight the need for improved internal communication, the general sentiment points to attentive, friendly staff, ample parking, and a commitment to providing quality pet products and services that ensure pets are well-fed, clean, and happy. It’s a go-to destination for everyday pet needs and special pampering alike.
「Thank you to the ladies and gentlemen staffing the PetSmart in Cochrane, Alberta. My family and I visit frequently, and each time we are courteously greeted by the friendly, helpful staff! I especially appreciate the offers to carry out large bags of dog food, which I currently decline but will likely welcome in the future! Many thanks to all for your service and dedication! Take care, always!!」
「I had a dog grooming appointment with Morgan; upon arrival, she seemed annoyed and unwelcoming. I initially dismissed it as a busy morning, but as I left, Morgan greeted another customer checking in with a smile and cheerful demeanor. She was bubbly when calling to say my dog was ready. When I arrived, another customer was ahead of me, and Morgan was again happy and very friendly with them. When she got to me, her demeanor changed to annoyed and unhappy to interact with someone like me (I'm part Filipino, and the other customers were not). I let it go, paid, and left. As I departed, I overheard Morgan treating the customer behind me with respect, kindness, and friendliness. I had high hopes for Morgan due to her positive reviews, but I would not recommend her for non-white individuals.」
「I’ve been bringing Odie here since he was a puppy, now just over a year old. I want to give a huge shout-out to the entire PetSmart staff; they have always been incredible. Our groomers, Megan, Morgan, and Pheonix, are ALL amazing. The other staff members on the floor are always super welcoming and helpful too. Thanks, Cochrane PetSmart! We always look forward to our visits here! *Megan was our groomer today and has Odie looking super fresh!*」
「I understand the grooming department is understaffed, but that doesn't excuse hiring people who dislike dogs. I've taken my dog here regularly since it opened and never had an issue with Zeus not listening or being a bad dog. I regret Kaiyana H had to leave; she was your best groomer. The new hire, Hayden T, is your worst addition; he dislikes dogs and people, being rude to both me and my pup. He struggles with energetic dogs like Zeus, my husky, who, despite 'selective hearing,' is a gentle giant. Hayden gave him a 'fast groom' because he didn't want to deal with him, charged me more, and still left him with furry paws. To top it off, Hayden ultimately decided to BAN my gentle dog from PetSmart. While I see you've been struggling to find groomers, please be more selective and check references, as you don't want a rude or lazy individual looking after the pups we entrust to you.」
「We just bought some fish there. The store is quite big, clean, and the staff were very polite.」
「This store has everything I need as a dog and reptile owner. The staff are great; Crystal and Josee are particularly outstanding, but honestly, I've never had a bad experience with anyone there. Today, they had great deals on pet dress-ups, and my pup is currently modeling one of the bargains I found. I'm truly glad to have this store in town!」
「I highly recommend Ivan! His expertise and dedication transformed my dog's behavior for the better. He is patient, effective, and truly makes a difference. Kiki was initially afraid, but after a few classes, she was eagerly running to his class to learn more. He is awesome! I cannot recommend Ivan enough! He goes above and beyond to teach both dogs and owners how to handle and train their dogs for obedience. Also, I must add that when I had a family emergency, he found time to reschedule with us to complete the course.」
「Ivan the trainer was awesome! He taught us tips and tricks to get our stubborn bull terrier to listen. Even after we passed the class, he always asks how Gator is doing, and it's great because if I ask him a question, he never hesitates to answer. Highly recommend dog training with Ivan!」
