Florida Wildlife Care Center Gainesville's 24-hour Emergency Number (352-371-4443) was the only…read moreservice provider who responded to our many calls for help over Labor Day weekend (2019). And we are very grateful for them! We found a marsupial (possum) in a field near trees being attacked and watched over by several vultures in the late morning over Labor Day weekend (2019) in Lake County south of Leesburg. The marsupial was valiantly warding off the vultures but was clearly worn from the experience and was unable to scurry away from the attackers. She was completely exhausted. We rescued the marsupial by chasing the vultures away and lifting her with a sheet and placing her in a soft linen and towel lined box. We then brought her home to our master bathroom which is warm, dark, and quiet. She had no open wounds but was clearly traumatized. I promised her that the vultures would not eat her alive. Florida Wildlife Care Center Gainesville helped keep that promise. The next morning she was improving and safely in the care of a licensed wildlife rehab professional. I can't express enough gratitude for Florida Wildlife Care Center Gainesville's 24-hour Emergency service and the outcome. Ideally someone could have come to our home to pick up the marsupial the same day, but with the holiday weekend and a major hurricane (Dorian) pending everyone was already overwhelmed with responsibilities. Florida Wildlife Care Center Gainesville is the only group who came through for us. And they did so thoroughly, compassionately, and promptly. Thank you Florida Wildlife Care Center Gainesville and a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Jean in Clermont!!!

Love coming to petsmart for grooming and training and shopping! Everyone is always super sweet and…read morehelpful! I started training with Sorcha when my dog was only 9-10 weeks old! We went through all 3 training levels with Sorcha so she really got to know and understand my dog. Now whenever we visit her at petsmart my dog gets super excited because she knows treats are around lol Petsmart grooming is also fantastic! The last 2 or 3 times my dog has seen Sabryna and she has done a fantastic job. I cannot speak on their haircuts because I have a Rottweiler so she only gets baths. I also get the nail grinding for my dog because her nails are black and very thick so cutting them does nothing. I highly recommend this location I can't say anything bad about them!

I am extremely disappointed and upset with the grooming services my two dogs received at PetSmart…read more This was by far the worst grooming experience I have ever encountered at this company. From the moment we arrived, the groomer's customer service was terrible. She was neither welcoming nor friendly, and her demeanor made it seem as though she did not want to provide services to our dogs. Instead of making us feel comfortable, she appeared to be discouraging us from moving forward with their grooming appointments. We were informed that our dogs had some matting, and the groomer stated that she would try to save as much of their coats as possible but might have to do a military-style cut if necessary. However, that is not what I witnessed. She went straight to shaving my Standard Poodle without first bathing her or making any visible attempt to comb through or save her coat. Within approximately five minutes, a significant amount of her hair had already been shaved off. Both of my dogs ended up being shaved nearly bald. I understand that matting can sometimes require shaving for an animal's safety and comfort, but my concern is the apparent lack of effort to explore other options after we were told an attempt would be made to preserve their coats. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that I was charged additional dematting fees of $20 for one dog and $10 for the other, despite witnessing no attempt to demat their coats before shaving them. I was also charged a $30 late fee for arriving approximately 20 minutes late. Between the grooming services and additional charges, I paid a substantial amount of money for an experience that left me completely dissatisfied. I chose not to confront the groomer at that moment because I was extremely upset, and by then, much of the damage to their coats had already been done. As a customer, I expect professionalism, compassion, honest communication, and quality service when trusting someone with my pets. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those expectations. I strongly believe PetSmart management needs to address both the customer service and grooming practices at this location. The groomer's attitude and handling of this appointment were not a positive representation of the company. I would not recommend this grooming experience to other pet owners, and I sincerely hope PetSmart takes this complaint seriously. Our pets deserve better, and so do paying customers.
