Wonderful location in downtown Lenoir to bring your sweet fur baby to play. They have a selection…read moreof beer (and other non-alcoholic beverages) to enjoy while you watch your dog enjoy their play time indoor (as well as outdoor) with other patrons and their dogs. They are also part of the social district which means you can take your drinks with you! They have an agility course for dogs, even a ball pit, and pools are located outside. Everyone is super friendly and they also have a few other dog related items for sale such as buddy budder, lick mats and even a dog beer called Tailwaggers. How cute is that!?!?! They offer training, dog nail trims and do fun crafts. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed when you see how much your dog enjoys running around.

This location is a real disappointment when it comes to customer service. My husband and I shopped…read morehere several times in preparation before bringing our puppy home and a few times afterward. Virtually each time we visited this Hickory location, there was at least one employee who was unprofessional or downright rude. As I recall during all these visits, we only felt the need to ask one question on one occasion about the availability and location of a product and was led to it but were left to feel as though it had been a burden for the employee. It was a very large bag of kibble, and although we could manage carrying it to checkout ourselves, it would have been nice for at least an offer to have been made for assistance. All of the other experiences involved rude employees stepping between us and products on the shelves, reaching over us while we were trying to look at or retrieve a product while "assisting another customer," and just a general atmosphere that employees would rather be anywhere but there. We then decided that perhaps we should try ordering online and picking up in the store to avoid the unpleasantness. Well, that didn't work out very well either. PetSmart has A LOT of work to do in getting their app user friendly and reliable. The incentives offered for online shopping are also a joke because they exclude most, if not all, well-known and trusted brands. Unfortunately, with all of the options available both online and in-store for meeting our pet's needs, PetSmart has done absolutely nothing competitively "smart" to secure our ongoing business.

Boarded our two greyhounds for a week while on vacation. We returned to find our dogs suffering…read morefrom weight loss, dehydration, and almost identical injuries on both hind legs. Dehydration was blamed on time spent on patio. IF true, a competent staff would have recognized a problem and taken corrective action. It's clear no corrective action was taken. The injuries were blamed on the time spent sleeping on a hard surface. We were told the dogs would have cots to sleep on, but because they supposedly had a potty accident, the cots were removed. Nonetheless, the injuries appear to be cuts/scrapes, not pressure wounds. Again, a competent staff would have noticed a problem and taken corrective action. If there is something in the kennel causing injuries, why has it not been addressed? We received NO COMMUNICATION regarding injuries, not even when picking up our dogs. I guess they hoped we would not notice. We received NO COMMUNICATION regarding weight loss/dehydration, but I guess they would have to first be observant enough to notice a problem. We paid to have our dogs taken care of but all they seem to have received was neglect. NEVER AGAIN!
