I remember setting foot in Heartland Pets in 2022 and thinking to myself "What a horrible place." I…read morewas in the mall around feeding time, and the chorus of barking dogs filled the mall food court. I walked into the store and saw the sweaty, ashen looks on the faces of the kennel staff, who looked so miserable that I had to laugh to diffuse my tension. I spoke with a lady, who aggressively pushed her dogs and guinea pigs onto me to make a sale. I just bought a small something for my (since rehomed) guinea pigs and escaped. I remember feeling like Dante after I exited, like I had been through hell. No human or animal deserves to be in a place like this. The fact that a puppy mill pipeline is allowed to operate in a mall is outrageous. In New York, we ban stores like this because of their inhumane animal treatment. This store deserves to cease operations. At least get the animals out of there and return some peace to the mall. Sadly, demand for these kind of places may necessitate a statewide law in PA to make it happened. Commoditization of animal lives is immoral, cruel, and inhumane.

Heartland Pets is a locally owned pet store that opened in 1993. They sell puppies that come from…read morebreeders and are not rescues. Many pure breeds are available, and customers may even specially order breeds if they are not currently in the store. I do not know how much the puppies cost, but I could imagine the approximate prices. Financing is available through a few lenders. I walked into this store when I was shopping in the mall. The puppies were kept in displays that have grates on the bottom and blankets. Other animals such as rats were also available for sale. Several aisles of shelves were stocked with merchandise, and the aisles were crowded with boxes on the floors. I own a dog, but I did not find anything to buy for her. I felt disappointed that I did not see many products for cats.

Their selection of pet toys and pet care products are varied and well priced. I have shopped here for dog beds, walking leads and for pet cages and have been very pleased with the selection. As to the staff, I am always greeted and so are my pets each time I come into the store. They had taken heavy bags out to my car for me, and have even showed me how various cages and restraints I have bought work. The check out staff have a good sense of humor, if you are not curt or short with them, and they will make sure that you get the best price you are intitled to. I highly recommend this story for your pet needs, foods, toys and restraints, this place has it all and at very competitive prices.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT PETSMART. I have had issues with them in the past, and why on earth I…read moredecided to give them a second chance, I have no idea. I paid for a full groom ( a little over $50) for my small Yorkie., which is supposed to include his nails being cut. I was in a hurry when I picked him up, so I didn't notice that they had not been done. A few days later when he came walking up to me on the tile floor, I noticed his nails were laying SIDEWAYS on the floor, because they were so long! I called Petsmart and explained the situation, and a very nice person on the other end of the phone said - no problem, just bring him back up and we will do them for you. I couldn't go the day I called, and went a few days later. When I walked in, the girl who had groomed him was there. I again explained the situation and what I was told... and she instantly copped an attitude with me, insisted she did them and became very defensive and rude. I said "Listen, I don't appreciate the attitude you are giving me. I just explained to you what was told to me". She told me she would not do them - she refused - and then turned and spoke on behave of the other young employee standing there and said she refused to do them as well! Alrighty then!! I explained I paid for a service, and I expect to get what I paid for. She proceeded to call her manager, all the while being completely rude to me. When he entered the room he took the exact same attitude with me before he fully understood the situation. He said I needed to bring my dog on the day I called, and that too much time had gone by (it's been a week since I called). He instantly took to her defense and was very dismissive of me. I had said to both of them "look at his toes, they speak for themselves " to which they said they didn't need to look at them... because they were done. I said listen, this isn't my first rodeo... I've been getting my dog groomed for 14 years. I think I know when his nails have not been cut. To which this 22 yr old something snapped at me and said "I think I know what I've been doing, I've been grooming for years". Bottom line - Petsmart needs better management, and a better screening process for employees. I've have owned many businesses, and if I EVER witnessed one of my employees speaking to a customer the way this employee was speaking to me... I would have fired them on the spot - no questions asked. I will never spend a dollar in that store again... and not only have I had dogs groomed there for several years, I would buy my dog supplies there as well. If you are looking for grooming.... there are several local groomers who would love your business and treat you much better. That's how you keep customers!

I witnessed a violent dog fight at the Erie Humane Society dog park due to staff negligence -- two…read morelarge dogs were left unsupervised and began mauling each other. Despite my screams for help, no staff responded for nearly 10 minutes. I had to intervene myself and call the police. Staff were dismissive and unprofessional, more upset about my language than the attack. When asked what the problem was, I told them "(the worker) put two dogs in then same outdoor pen and even though they were f****** fighting she left them alone anyway". Which is exactly what happened. The dogs started to fight, the girl yelled at them to stop, and kicked her leg in between them, and then went back inside. It was all completely preventable. An f-bomb after screaming for help for 10-15 minutes is completely warranted. Their behavior was disrespectful to the animals they were supposed to protect. The staffer said "It was too early on a Saturday morning for language like that", "does my mother know I talk like this", that I was "a real piece of work", etc. They literally wanted to gaslight me because I said the f-word rather than address any concerns. One lady who said she was in charge said "they're just shelter dogs, they get triggered easily". If they're so easily triggered why were they left alone while one dog screamed for almost the whole fight? Now on social media they're saying they tried to talk to me but " i wasn't ready to be respectful". Maybe it's because for over 10 minutes I banged on the fence and ran around the outside of the private pen spraying the dogs with a hose screaming at the top of my lungs because NO ONE ELSE was doing anything. To the point I called the cops AND eventually the Dept of Agriculture who oversees kennel licenses. The Dept of Agricultural called me back within 12 hours and then was on site in 24-48 hours. I filed a formal complaint, and the Department of Agriculture conducted an inspection and you can see in my screenshot they it ====required remedial actions===. That says it all. They apparently watch their dogs as closely as they watched their bank account when the director embezzled.
