I love going to this place because the two people who run it (I think they're siblings from some…read moreEastern Bloc country or something) are really nice and they have a great selection of products. My only complaint is that when the lady who usually runs the cash register is helping you find something in the store, she will suddenly ask another customer what they are looking for even though she isn't done helping you yet. I've been in the situation where I was the person being helped and she decided to help someone else and I've been the person who has been waiting patiently while she helps someone else and they've been interrupted while she asks me what I'm looking for. Aside from this one thing, though, wonderful place and I recommend going there.

I had a very distressing experience at Nestor's Aquarium and Pets on St. James Street in Winnipeg…read moreon March 19, 2026 at approximately 12:15 p.m. During my visit, I observed multiple tanks toward the back of the store (approximately 7-8 tanks in a row) in extremely poor condition. These tanks appeared dirty, with debris floating in the water and no visible labeling for the fish inside. In one of these tanks, there was a dead fish at the bottom, another dead fish partially lodged in a hide, and a live fish lying there gasping for air and clearly in distress. After I brought this to staff attention, a male staff member did remove the distressed fish; however, it was handled abruptly and placed into another tank that also appeared dirty and poorly maintained. The remaining tanks in that row were not addressed. At the front of the store, tanks appeared cleaner, but I also observed multiple large fish kept in a tank that seemed far too small for their size and number. When I calmly raised my concerns, a female staff member (who appeared to be an owner or manager) became hostile. She repeatedly told me she was not my employee, questioned who I was and what authority I had, and raised her voice while dismissing the concerns entirely. I was laughed at and told to leave the store. I even offered to purchase the distressed fish to ensure it received proper care, but that was dismissed. This experience was upsetting not only because of the visible conditions, but because of the lack of accountability and professionalism shown. Animals in a retail environment are still living beings and require consistent care across all tanks--not just those visible at the front. I left feeling shaken and saddened for the animals.

Disappointed and heartbroken -- zero accountability from the store…read more I purchased some driftwood from this store for my aquarium, and the next morning I found six of my fish dead. All my poor fish were gasping at the surface, desperately trying to breathe. I went back to the store calmly, just to let them know what had happened -- not to ask for money, neither for the dead fish nor for the product. I simply wanted to inform them. At first, a woman asked if my water had turned brown -- I said yes, it became extremely dirty overnight, even though my tank is normally crystal clear. Then a man stepped in and immediately began blaming me: he said I must have overfed my fish, used the wrong substrate, had a bad filter, or washed it under tap water -- none of which is true. They both started speaking to me in an agitated, defensive tone, while I remained polite the whole time. Again -- I wasn't demanding any refund. I didn't ask for a single dollar. I just showed them what had happened. I told them I use premium filter media and substrate and that I take good care of my aquarium. Then they made a ridiculous "offer": to put the same wood in their own tank and if all their fish die, then I would be right. That's absurd for many reasons -- first, I don't trust them to be honest about the outcome. Second, I live far away and don't have time to waste so they can lie to my face. Third, not all of my fish died -- mostly the delicate neon tetras. And most importantly, the wood already leached all its toxins into my tank. Their experiment wouldn't prove anything. People here say the staff is nice -- sure, they smile while taking your money. But when something goes wrong, they couldn't care less. They can't even acknowledge responsibility. They behaved like teenagers caught with cigarettes claiming, "They're not mine." It's shameful. P.S. ChatGPT told me I should have boiled and soaked the wood for weeks before putting it in the tank. Why didn't these so-called "experts" mention this when selling it to me? Simple -- they don't care what happens to your tank after they've got your money

Five groups of people in line to pay for their over-priced merchandise. I look... there are three employees in the vicinity of the check-outs and only one is taking care of the till, another is mingling around the closed till two stations over, and the other is over yaking with a green-haired girl who is second in line. Wait. She's not wearing a jacket.... It's twenty-below outside . . . hmmmm, oh. The green-haired girl who is second in line is actually an employee waiting to pay for her personal stuff. Fine. wait. wait. wait. The customer in front of her finally gets his stuff paid for. The green-haired girl, i.e.: the Pet Smart Employee starts paying for her stuff but is constantly distracted by the conversation she's having with the other Pet Smart Employee who is standing there gabbing with her. They're occasionally interrupted by the Pet Smart Employee who is supposed to be ringing her stuff up . . . Great conversation they're having, and the line behind us grows. Finally the Pet Smart Employee gets her stuff paid for and goes to work . . . to open the fourth register. The one Employee she was gabbing with saunters off, and the the fourth Pet Smart Employee who was shuffling around the middle till, looks up and goes, "can I help you?" and takes the people _behind_ us while we wait for the two groups in front of us to get rung through. The green-haired girl decides she's got some important stuff to do before opening her till and takes turn fumbling around between her purse and her merchandise. You idiots are very fortunate I was with by daughter who doesn't like it when I cause a scene. Yes. I am _that_ guy.

I can put in my products that I want to buy, but I have to do it five times because their app keeps deleting my cart. When I FINALLY get the cart to check out - I fill in my address correctly (I always double check now - that's a different story) ​and ask for delivery. Do you know they have Uber drivers doing delivery? Do you also know that their ordering system inputs the address wrong and the drivers (not their fault) go to the completely wrong address? This happened TWICE. And both times the driver was in a completely different town from where I live. Despite the driver calling to ask where I lived and despite me telling the person where I lived, they refused to drive ​to my location and just cancelled my order. This happened TWICE. I even tried to make sure the address was correct on the tracking for the Uber driver BUT IT DOES NOT LET ME EDIT IT! So, again my order is cancelled because the Uber driver could not find my address because PetSmart's App enters it in wrong. It was right on my order confirmation so it wasn't at my end. Fix your app PetSmart! Those poor drivers are given the run around and don't get paid if they don't deliver. That's on you PetSmart not the customer. I will never order from PetSmart again because of this run around and still no product!! Do not order online it's a waste of time!!

The tanks were overcrowded, disgusting, and full of parasites.
