Their prices might be a tad higher, but wouldn't you rather support local than a giant billion-dollar corporation?

Our smaller dog Ozzy needed her nails clipped. Not a task that neither Becky nor I wish to tackle…read more After some price shopping around, we settled on PetSmart in the Santee Town Center shopping center. We walked in and proceeded to the back of the store where the groomer and the Banfield Pet Hospital are located. We walked into the groomer and were the only customers. We were greeted by a very cheerful Heather. Heather was just finishing the grooming of a poodle looking dog. She took the dog to the back and returned to us. She took all of our info. We did not have proof of rabies vaccination for Ozzy. Heather was happy to call our primary vet at the El Cajon Valley Animal Hospital to verify. Once that was complete, she turned her attention to Ozzy. Heather was so sweet. Ozzy is typically a bit skittish, but she was fairly comfortable with Heather. Ozzy allowed Heather to leash her up without fighting it or whimpering. Heather's "bedside manner" was fabulous. She had us leave Ozz with her and asked us to wait outside on the bench on the other side of the frosted window. She said she'd tap on the window when Ozz was finished. About five minutes later there was a tap on the glass. Ozzy was finished and her nails trimmed properly. No muss, no fuss. 12 bucks. We went to the registers up front to pay and we were on our way.

HOW TO LOSE A CUSTOMER IN 2 SHAKES OF A LEG AND A DOGS TAIL WAGGING! Here we go.....Loyal…read morePetSmart Customer for over 20 years. No longer! I am not sure what direction to take this review but suffice to say, their pricing in the Grooming Salon is highly suspect and potentially great substance for a class action lawsuit. Only a couple of years ago the nail grinding was a flat $15 and no need to make an appointment. They had a grooming package that they use to call a "top dog" that was between $35 and $40. Today I took the same dog that I have been taking there for 15 years (a 12 pound chihuahua minpin mix) Buddy, for a nail grinding. I was quoted $19. However the groomer Adan, said that if the dog nips it would be an additional $10. I told him that he was known to nip but the last groomers said he was getting better. Adan said that the grinding should take no more than 10 min. I also told Adan that if I had to pay $29 for a nail grinding that it would be the last time I would be a customer there...when I returned to get Buddy (7 minutes) my first question was, how did he do. Adan said he nipped a couple of times then settled down. He also mentioned Buddy didn't like the sound of the grinder. Duh???? What dog does? I left a $2 tip and thanked him then realized that I was indeed charged $29. For a nail grinding. When I asked Adan why, he said it was because it required him to not only grind the nails but trim them as well and that is why he charged an extra $10. Who makes these decisions? I never agreed to a special treatment and Im sure somewhere in the paperwork it stated that the ultimate price is subject to the whims of the groomer depending on how much he feels he needed to make. Though the Manager refunded the additional $10. And said she would speak to the groomer, I told her that never had I ever had to pay $29. For a nail trim for a dog that has had at least 100 in the last 10 years. Total BS is what my wife called it and I tend to agree. Regardless here is the bottom line to this epic review......across the street within walking distance is a PetCo whom I called as soon as I got home and asked what they charge for a nail trimming or grinding. They said it doesn't matter what ya call it the cost is $12. I also asked how much a full spa treatment would be for a dog including wash, nails, ears, and anal glands....the young lady said between $35 and $40 bucks. THIS IS HOW EASY IT IS FOR A COMPANY TO LOSE A LOYAL VALUABLE 20 YEAR CUSTOMER AND GO ACROSS THE STREET TO THEIR COMPETITOR. INSANE!!!!!!!!!

Recently, he started having diarrhea, so I went in thinking I needed some kind of medicine or dewormer. The associate at the Santee location was super helpful. Instead of immediately pointing me toward medication, she took the time to ask questions and suggested that the fresh food might be too rich for him. She recommended mixing in some kibble first to see if that helps before jumping into meds. I ended up getting a salmon-flavored dry food to try, and I really appreciated her honest advice. It felt like she actually cared about my dog and not just making a sale. Great customer service--thank you for the help!
