I get a phone call saying my dog has a small cut on her head and that everything's fine. I go pick her up and find a large laceration on her head and once I got home I found a puncture wound on her side that my vet confirmed went down to the muscle tissue. The Dogtopia manager told me that she did not clean the wounds she used a non-antibacterial non-scented baby wipe and applied ointment. This is going to trap bacteria in and a wound this deep can easily get infected especially in an environment with lots of dogs. Their staff "doesn't know what happened". They will not share any of the surveillance footage. They only offered to pay the vet bill once I threatened to take legal action if they didn't. I have worked at dog daycare's prior and we had never sent a dog home with injuries like that and no idea how they happened and no explanation. They tried to tell me that she hit her head at first and it was a small cut and upon inspecting her it is a large laceration all the way through the skin and I discovered the puncture wound because she was licking it once she got home and that goes down to the muscle. It blows my mind that they downplay it so much and will not share their surveillance video. They are clearly not watching them/keeping rooms under control. I would never feel comfortable allowing them to watch my dog ever again, they are not taking safety as a priority. If you're understaffed you need to stop taking in dogs at a certain point so that staff members can actually maintain a supervised and controlled environment. My vet said either staples or stitches so I went with staples because they are a little over $300 versus $900 for stitches. It took me threatening my legal team reaching out to them for them to even refund the cost of a half-day charge when she was there for two hours before I picked her up because of injury. I had to push even more to get them to pay the vet bill eventually. The only reason I had my dog there is because I was hit by an SUV and was physically unable to take my dog to burn energy as she is just over one year old. So now not only am I trying to heal my broken wrist and fractured knee, but I am also tending to the staples on her head and her ribs, antibiotics, pain medication, and anxiety medication. My dog is so playful and sweet, absolutely loves people and absolutely loves other dogs. It's going to absolutely crush me if I see her confidence or friendliness extinguished in any way from this experience. Update in regards to their reply: they have my email address have not sent me any solid explanation as to what happened still. I have so many doctors appointments, phone calls with my lawyer, and I am trying to rest ice and elevate myself and now take care of my dog on top of all that. I don't have the time to sit on the phone with you while you tell me that you don't have an explanation, in different words nine times over. Reply to my email when you figure it out and if you can't figure out what happened, shame on you. You shouldn't be running a dog care business.

Our rescue dogs have been loved and cared for by the Hiltons, Shelly and the rest of their amazing staff for days and weeks at a time. We never worry when traveling knowing that our girls are taken care of. Our baby Sophie recovered from heart worm for 3 weeks at Goldwood as we were traveling and she needed rest. They continued to love her from the month we got her through the 12 years we had her. They are flexible and accommodating. We have had deaths, a short notice adoption pick up and other last minute needs for boarding and are always able to get a spot for our pup. Our second rescue is High maintenance and can be a handful. With patience and care the staff worked with her, easing her fears and I must say we have come a long way. She trots in now with barely a bark. Our dogs have always returned home happy, clean and healthy! Thank you Goldwood!

When I asked for an itemized receipt, Deb refused to provide one. She claimed the high price was because she hand blow dries instead of cage drying, but every reputable groomer we've used also blow dries, this is standard, not an upgrade. She washed him, blow dried, clipped nails, and did a light trim, not a full haircut. Her only justification was his size, even though she knew beforehand he was a Great Pyrenees and advertised experience with the breed. She also claimed she charged more to get him done faster, even though I explained he usually takes about 4 hours, and the most I've ever paid elsewhere was $275 (already very expensive). For comparison, mobile grooming has only cost me $200 and that includes the convenience of coming to my home. On top of the price gouging, when I checked him at home he had a soiled rear meaning either he defecated there and they sent him home dirty, or they didn't wash him properly. Both are unacceptable for a grooming service. This was price gouging and poor care. I cannot trust this business, and I strongly advise large-breed owners to look elsewhere.

Every time I have to stop at this store I leave with the most visceral annoyance. Let me start from…read morethe beginning with some context: 1.) My dog has significant digestive issues related to protein. He is required to be on Hydrolyzed Protein as it is easier to break down. This food requires a prescription for reasons unknown to me, and costs $150 per bag. Maplewood is one of few locations that have his food, so I am forced to stop here frequently. 2.) Because his food requires a prescription, I have to have Banfield create a mini prescription card before I can check out with his food. Most recently, I stopped into the store for food and when I went to check out the cashier stated that the prescription card was expired. It had been expired for five months, but apparently that wasn't an issue until right then. So, I get out of the line I had waited in, go to the Banfield counter (wait in line again), get the card replaced for what seems like the 75th time, and after they explained it expires once a year, I looked at the card and realized it actually expires every six months. Fine. I take the card, wait in line again, and the cashier is finally able to check me out. During my checkout (at which point I want nothing more than to exit the store) the cashier randomly starts telling me about how her mom got her two kittens and she is going out of her way to feed them well so that they "never have to eat this food." To me, this implies that I am feeding my dog prescription food because I somehow created this protein deficiency he's had since birth...? All of this to say - a trip that should take five minutes almost always ends up taking twenty. Despite having Banfield inside several PetSmart locations, they haven't incorporated any way for their staff to pull prescriptions. In my opinion, PetSmart isn't and has never been concerned about the customer experience. If you don't have to go to this location or a PetSmart in general, I wouldn't.

One word: RACIST! They refused service for my 6-year-old Shih Tzu. I was told he wouldn't allow the…read moregroomer to touch his face, and then I was told to have a vet shave his face before they would groom him. This was after one of the ladies told me she didn't want to use her clippers on him. Mind you, he's been going to another PetSmart location since he was 1. I then went to the Banfield hospital inside the store where my dog is a client. I explained everything to the vet there. My Shih Tzu was seen within the hour. Not only did they give him a medical shave, but I also had them give him his two shots that would be needed in the next two months. I also had his heartworm prevention medication done. Everything cost over $1,000. After picking up my pet from Banfield around 4, I walked back inside the grooming department hoping to schedule my Shih Tzu for a later date. The lady then told me no one there felt comfortable grooming my Shih Tzu at a later time. I was told everyone had agreed they didn't want to service him--just a total refusal. I was livid after spending over $1,000 and being told this, especially after I was instructed to have a vet shave his face before returning for grooming. My guess is they are Trump supporters, enforcing the order he signed allowing them to refuse service. By the way, I'm Black, and my husband is a Caucasian Army veteran who served 26 years fighting for this country.
