    They share a parking lot with other establishments in the plaza. There are some electric charging stations nearby for those electric cars (tesla). We were greeted when we entered and a staff member came by and asked if we had the app to earn up to $20. There are plenty of selections from kitten/puppy food to adult cats/dogs. Price ranging from $0.99 to $4 a can for cat food. They also have a lot of bed options to choose from. In the end, we saved about $20 and spent $$$ on our cats. I just wished there was a faster checkout process.

    Just picked up my girl dog from being groomed by Kelly, and she smells soooo fresh! She came to her appointment apprehensive (as she always does), but when I picked her up, she was fine and happy! A sure sign that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for loving on Uni, Kelly! Pro tip: for those who get their pets groomed, please bring cash tip for your groomer! They work hard to care for your beloved pets

    I have a two-year-old Goldendoodle and have brought him to this location several times without issue, until our most recent visit. For this grooming session, my dog was seen by a groomer named Liz. While he did have some matting, it was limited to behind one ear and one leg. We also paid extra for a de-matting solution. Importantly, my dog hardly grows hair on his belly, so there was no reason to shave or de-matt that area. After bringing him home, I noticed a severe rash on his belly. He was clearly in pain licking himself constantly and whimpering, which has never happened before. Concerned, I called to speak with the manager to understand why his belly was shaved at all, let alone to the point of causing a rash. Unfortunately, the manager was dismissive. Instead of addressing the issue, she mentioned being friends with Liz and insisted she was "a very friendly groomer" which had nothing to do with my concern. Even more troubling, the manager admitted she had no grooming knowledge and couldn't explain what might have gone wrong. She asked me to email pictures of the rash, which I did. The following day, I received a call from the grooming department lead, who explained that Liz had gone over my dog's belly "too many times," causing the rash. This explanation made little sense to me, considering that area had no matting and minimal hair to begin with. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of accountability. No apology, no ownership of the mistake just defense of a friend and vague explanations. A professional grooming service should be able to acknowledge errors and prioritize the well-being of the pet. To make matters worse, this wasn't the first red flag. Before this incident, my grooming appointments had been canceled three times after being scheduled online due to my dog's breed. If certain breeds can't be serviced by certain groomers, that should be clearly stated upfront. There was once a groomer named Summer who was fantastic with my dog, but she no longer works here. After this last experience, I won't be returning. I had to treat my dog's rash with oatmeal ointments and it took him several days to feel better. I'm sharing this to warn other dog parents, this was an incredibly disappointing and unacceptable experience, and I'll be taking my dog elsewhere going forward.

    Before and after
    Okay O.

    Very pleasantly surprised with Dog Groomer Melinna. She gave a very stylish and practical summer haircut to our 15 year old dog. She was patient and gentle handling our senior dog, with empathy for his age, and she gave him a glowing report for good behavior and was proud of her work. Will definitely go back if we are in the area. I was reluctant to go to Petsmart because a groomer at the Torrance location on Sepulveda was very rough handling our senior dog and claimed he was aggressive - which resulted in a demerit in his permanent record that adds $10 to his grooming fee.

    Aug 2025, Our dog after his first grooming in Alhambra PetSmart, clean & fluffy & handsome

    This was one of the most heartbreaking, infuriating, and devastating experiences we have ever had with a grooming service -- and it happened right before Thanksgiving, which made it even more painful. We had planned to make our dog look nice and festive for the holiday, but instead, it turned into a nightmare for our entire family. A few days ago (11/23/25), we brought our (14-month-old) large golden doodle to this grooming shop for his second visit. The tall female employee who checked him in (later we were told she might be the boss) was impatient from the very beginning. She briefly mentioned that our dog had some mats and "might need to be cut short," but gave no explanation, no example photos, and simply quoted around $200 without further detail. Because our first visit this grooming shop in August was excellent, we trusted them again. But after few hours, what we received was beyond shocking -- our dog was completely shaved bald, every inch of fur gone, looking like a helpless stray dog in the cold winter. And the worst part: they never called us, despite us leaving two phone numbers. Not a single attempt was made to get our permission. Our dog has no skin issues or parasites -- only some mats that should have been discussed. We were hoping to celebrate Thanksgiving with a beautifully groomed dog... instead, we brought home a traumatized one. When we got home, my child burst into tears, and honestly, we adults could hardly look at our dog without tearing up ourselves. He went from a happy, affectionate boy to being terrified, anxious, and hiding in corners. We had to rush out to buy clothes just to keep him warm. Our holiday spirit was completely destroyed. The next day, when we returned to address the issue, the same tall woman (possibly the boss) remained rude and dismissive. She blamed us for not brushing his coat "perfectly," compared us to customers who come every 2-3 weeks and "pay more," and showed absolutely no empathy. When we asked about the charges, she arrogantly said, and with her leg crossed, "Two hundred is the price for a full shave like this and no style." If not for our first positive experience, we would never have driven so far to come here. (We will be sharing before-and-after photos, including images from the first visit for every parents.) After speaking with other dog owners, we were shocked to learn that many had similar bad experiences and have already stopped coming to this (Alhambra) grooming shop. For the safety and well-being of your fur babies, I strongly advise you not to bring your pets here.

    I had a gift certificate, so I stopped by to pick up some supplies for the pups. The store is spacious, organized, and well stocked with a variety of items to meet your pet's needs. I wasn't quite sure where to find what I was looking for, so I asked an associate for assistance. She was friendly & helpful and pointed me in the right direction. There were only two cashiers on duty, so the checkout line was a bit long but soon a third cashier opened up, which helped speed things along. This store is in a shopping center so ample parking is available. *Curbside pickup *$10 off grooming services with Yelp Check In.

    Hair after Pet Smart grooming.

    One year old female German Shepherd for grooming. Told she is shedding, so FurminatorBath, $78, necessary. Don't expect them to do more than a light brush with the Furminator comb. My son and I worked on our dog for a half hour brushing her thoroughly. Advice: Buy your own Furminator brush, treatathome, take your dog for Pet Smarts $30 bath and dry.

    Claudia M.

    Let me start by saying I've been coming to this store for over 10 yrs. I spend about $500 a month, but for the past month everytime I come in with a price match, this 5 foot white short haired, tattooed manager, makes excuses as to why she wont honor the online price match. I understood when she pointed out autoship prices. Went In today, and the online price was not an autoship price. She refused to honor the price match. So to you lil overachiever, you lost a 10 year + client who spends 500 +every single month at the Alhambra store over a $9.00 price match. Trying to save the company 9 bucks, you just lost the company over $ 491 a Month, from a long time loyal ex-client Congratulations

With their training and support, Aralez was transformed in eight weeks into a dog that truly wanted to behave and interact with us so that she got the best results back. Learning how to use the E collar was the best thing ever now we can walk her past dogs and she doesn't charge, she knows how to Place and calm herself when she gets excited and she's really very responsive to just about everything we need her to do to keep her safe and us safe in an environment that she deserves to be in.

We met the team at K9 Logic Dog Training and they assessed our dog and determined what kind of training program would be best for him to address his separation anxiety and the other skills we wanted to work on. Within a week we noticed progress. We finally were able to leave the house for an hour and go to the market together. Week by week the time has gradually gotten longer where we have been able to leave him alone for longer periods of time to reclaim our social life back. I was skeptical at first, but after that first week I became a believer. We are so happy with the results that for the purpose of just giving him structure and routine we signed him up for more classes and he LOVES being at school. We've also participated in the weekend group training sessions and they are so helpful to not only give our dog routine, but it's a great way to reinforce structure and keep him sharp with everything he learned at school. Signing up for training with K9 Logic Dog Training was the best decision we could made for our dog to set him up for success.

So I did some research and came across "Obedience, Please!" I was thrilled! I had been joking that, in honor of Taylor swift, we were going to do a "Life of a Showdog" film once I got her trained. So to find out Howie trained dogs for show biz back in the day?! What a dream. Being part boarder collie, the training was much more difficult than I had previously been hoping for on my own. Despite (and maybe because of) her incredible intelligence, she also has a tremendous amount of energy, and love to give. With my chronic condition it was just becoming too much. She's been in the program for seven weeks, has taken a huge liking to David and behaves beautifully with him. I'm nervous to have her on my own but she just graduated today and I am so much more confident! She listens like spring and she talks like June, my sweet baby angel. I've been singing to her "she's a maniac" but swapped it out with "brainiac" all afternoon: lovin' it. We have already been practicing the commands at home and plan to be diligent about continuing education. Thank you, David, for your hard work, determination and diligence with her training. You clearly care very much about this work and these dogs. Aphrodite has seen great improvement since I first dropped her off and I couldn't be more grateful.

Maddie had been having some reactivity issues due to being attacked on 2 separate occasions by a bigger dog. Any time we would walk her, she would howl bloody murder. And if you know a beagle's howl, you know how loud it can get. The neighbors knew when we would be walking her because they could hear her for blocks. And people would stare at us as if we were horrible pet parents so we decided it was enough and contacted Diana for some help. As soon as we met her, she explained her process and how she works. And she explained how and why reactivity occurs. Everything was explained very easily and smoothly so that my spouse and I could understand why Maddie did certain things and how to correct them. We went ahead and did the 8 session package and met weekly with Diana. She laid the foundation for us and we increased training to build on that foundation. Lo and behold, Maddie no longer howls bloody murder when she sees another dog! One of our neighbors noticed and said that he can't tell anymore when we walk her because he doesn't hear us anymore. And every time we spot him during our walks, he's always so impressed with her training and how far she's come along. We ended our training with Maddie learning "down" and we are planning on doing more training sessions to further build on Maddie's training with e-collar training and more obedience.

She thoroughly explained the "why" behind certain behaviors and what actions we need to take in order to shift his/our behavior. From week to week, Diana gave us some homework to do between sessions but knowing we also have busy schedules, she met us where we were and adjusted our training plan accordingly. We worked on leash training, reactivity, impulse control, crate and place training, recall at home and in public but that actually translated into setting better boundaries, building mutual trust between us and Bruce, and advocating for him in situations which we weren't doing as well before. Overall, we appreciated her understanding, her openness to listening to our concerns, and her adaptive but structured approach. Since we had a specific, timebound goal in mind it helped keep us motivated and on track. At the end of the 8 sessions (Oct - Dec), we gained invaluable strategies to manage Bruce in different situations (in public, crowded spaces, around other dogs) and we feel that we understand Bruce a lot more now than before. Thank you, Diana!

We became prisoners in our own home. We either had to take him everywhere with us or have one of us stay behind. It became a huge burden, and we found ourselves scheduling our entire lives around our dog. We decided to work with Dawit, and little by little, things started to improve. When we got Cooper back from training, he was like a completely different dog. He no longer pulled on the leash, was not reactive when he saw other dogs, his recall was amazing, and many of our typical worries disappeared. However, the separation anxiety still persisted. This is where Dawit truly deserves recognition. He never gave up on us or on Cooper. Our training journey probably lasted longer than most because of how severe Cooper's anxiety was, but Dawit went far beyond the typical follow-ups. Over the course of several months, the training sessions, check-ins, texts/videos, communication, and home visits finally paid off. There were times when I genuinely thought we'd never be able to return to a normal life, but our consistency combined with Dawit's continued support and new techniques made all the difference. Cooper can now stay home alone in his crate without issues. That being said, training only works if you put in the effort. We followed through with everything Dawit recommended, even when it was difficult or when we didn't see immediate results. It's easy to fall back into old habits or give up when progress feels slow, but perseverance truly pays off. Side note: Dawit is just an all-around great person who genuinely cares about what he does. Our dog absolutely adores him. We also love the boarding services he offers -- especially because Cooper comes home exercised and happy. Another huge plus is that Cooper is now off-leash certified, and we fully trust him to make good decisions. Yes, it can be costly, but it's an investment and honestly, I don't know another dog as well‑behaved as ours. I'm incredibly proud of the work it took to get here.
