Bad store

These big box pet stores are just plain horrible. I bought a budgie for my dad for Father's Day and she unfortunately and sadly passed this morning. This happened to be the last day of the return policy too. I came in with my receipt and explained what happened and the manager "John" looked me directly in the eye and told me that I would need to bring in the body to get a refund. I told him this was a ridiculous policy as they've already buried her. John also offered no condolences, just a terrible human interaction, but I'm sure he'll go very far at the soulless corporation. Maybe PetSmart should lose their license to sell anything except pet food, since they keep Bettas in cups and sick budgies. Do not give them your money.

For a chain pet store, this PetSmart locations grooming is actually stellar! I booked a bath and brush for my (very curly) doodle about two days in advance, and was pleased to hear back from the groomer I selected the next day to confirm his appointment. I added an extra 15 minutes of brushing,to detangle his fur a bit, and a nail grind (nail trim is included, but I wanted the edges softened). I was surprised when I saw him 3 hours later, fur soft and smooth after a blow dry. He was completely free of all tangles and smelled fantastic! His paws and sanitary areas were also shaved down as per my request! The groomer was Michael, and overall I was extremely satisfied with his work! Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this specific location for at least future bath/brush appointments. I have yet to get the full haircut with a PetSmart groomer, but when spring comes around I can see myself bringing this curly boy here for the unavoidable full shave.

Ongoing bad behavior... Zach appears to be asleep at the wheel. First he was extremely flat. Then he charged me twice for an item for which I had paid cash. I went to my car, noticed the overage and returned to the store immediately. Again in his very flat manner he processed my return. The topper, he insisted I give him a debit card to get my refund. I asked, "why I just paid cash." With a bit of wall-eye from dear Zach, I got my cash back. Hmmm....no apologizes or even a "Have a nice day" upon my departure. So much for good customer service.

Update: I still like the convenience and work of their grooming salon, and still go here for dog food, treats and toys. Downgrading from 5 to 3 for a couple of reasons. First or all, the online stock didn't match the physical stock when I went to buy dog food recently. Second, they need more staff. I've had a hard time finding customer service the past couple times I've had a question. It will do for your pet needs, but could do better.

Time for a few supplies!

This chain has a large variety of food, supplies and attire for pets. Dogs are welcome, and staff is very friendly. Prices are reasonable and the experience is pretty much what you might expect. There is also grooming services in the back, as well.

My Husky AFTER her "trim"
Tatiana T.

First of all, I want to call out that this review is solely based on the Grooming Salon - the cashiers & staff in the store have always been so helpful & friendly. But after coming to this salon for almost a full year, the heinous events of yesterday have prompted this review: Has the service always been perfect in the past? Absolutely not. It's actually very hit-or-miss with this location - sometimes they do what you request, other times they do whatever they want, but the end product has never been such a huge issue that I've felt the need to raise any concern or leave a bad review. However, yesterday I dropped off my Husky for her bi-monthly trim. As anyone who owns a husky or knows anything about heavy coated dogs, you're not supposed to shave them down. You're supposed to keep their undercoat as much intact so that it helps them regulate their temperature, especially in this TX heat. That's why we only take her in every other month and brush her out at home diligently to avoid any matting... So I drop off my dog in the morning for her appointment. I meet with her new groomer to explain to him exactly what we want - both my husband & I explained we just want her trimmed down, cleaned up. We do NOT want to affect her undercoat & definitely don't want to go to short. The groomer responded that he understood, made his assessment, and then took her in for her service... Fast forward to me picking her up and my poor husky has been practically shaved down!!! You can actually see her skin in certain spots. There is literally no more undercoat. My poor dog now has to remain indoors until she gets some of her coat back for fear of heat stroke & sun burn. Nevermind the cosmetic issue that she looks like a completely different breed of dog now. Please, do yourself a favor, and take your dog ANYWHERE else. If you can make the drive (which I no longer can but used to) take them to the PetSmart in South Park Meadows - probably the best PS Groomers in Austin, or go to literally any local groomer. I've included a before & after for reference, so you can see how INSANE this is... after expressing my shock & disbelief, the groomer even had the audacity to say "I'll add your preference to the notes for her next appointment." No way in hell I am ever bringing my dog back here!

See all

Don't waste a dime here. No care for the dogs or their safety. Spend the money on your fur baby and get them groomed elsewhere!

I was told 7 mins before his appt that they were running an hr late since previous appointments needed more time and that caused our appt to be pushed back. How's that my problem? They should've allotted the proper time. What's insane is the company requires 48 hrs notice to reschedule or cancel, or you'll be charged but they don't grant you the same courtesy.(also must have your card on file) Insane. I'm actually quite mad. I canceled. I better not be charged a cancelation fee or this will be an immediate dispute w my credit card company. I've attached a screenshot of the lame text I received 7 mins before my scheduled appt. After reading other reviews, this seems to be a reoccurring issue with the same groomer, Kayla. Since reading other reviews, I'm grateful to have canceled this appt after reading reviews of them leaving cats and pups with bloody paws and being returned wet. Do yourself a favor and do not make an appt with this company. Find someone else who is reliable.

I brought in a cat for a lion shave mostly to remove matted hair. I was surprised when told the cat…read moreshould have arrived already sedated. While the full shave was not possible, the groomer compromised by removing all of the matted hair and shaving where possible without too much of a fight. She offered this at no charge but I paid for the service anyway because my needs were generally addressed. I appreciate creative solutions and good customer service and will be back.

It's been quite some time since we've been clients of As the Fur Flies (cost savings of a DIY Dad…read moreGroomer), but with our newest addition to the family, an ever growing 6 month, 42 pound Goldendoodle, we weren't quite ready to tackle a new challenge. Our old groomers no longer seem to work here, but we still rave about the kindness and care the team showed our pups back in 2021. 2026: Our new pup arrived to us covered in mats so severe I had to trim some myself, leaving him a bit uneven. We scheduled a grooming session but didn't realize he would be receiving a "first-time puppy cut," which is different from a full grooming appointment. I completely understand the difference, but I wish I had been informed upfront, as I was expecting a full-body cut--especially at the price we paid. A month later, we tried a different groomer, Ivy, after seeing a Goldendoodle cut on their Instagram that we loved. She did an amazing job! As a reminder, per most pet grooming policies, all dogs must have up-to-date vaccines before their appointment. Additionally, there is now a late pickup fee if you arrive more than 30 minutes after your pet's session is completed.

When I got there, I was treated very rudely. At first, I was ignored by the one person who was standing behind the counter, and who was acting as if I wasn't even there. And then when somebody came out, I was yelled at and told I was there an hour early. I was actually there 30 minutes early because I wasn't sure how long it would take us to get there and I was very excited to go. On the phone, I was told that I would be able to wait for my dog while she was being groomed. But when I got there, I was told to leave and come back. On the phone, we booked an appointment for a full Grooming. I dropped her off and then I was called not long afterwards to come back and get her. They told me that they were done sooner than they thought. When I picked her up, they had barely trimmed a little bit of hair around her face and done sort of a sanitary is what they told me. They also sold me a bottle of medicated shampoo, which we don't need. She had told me she was going to use it and that I would bring it back each time, but then she didn't end up using it so I bought it for no reason. And then they charged me for the full Grooming even though she was in and out with just a little bit of trimming. She looks a raggedy mess. And I felt like I was treated very badly.
