My dog has been going to PetSmart for training, grooming and everything in between since he was a puppy 7 years ago. We have lived all over the country as a military family and have never experienced such poor customer service. We had a poor grooming experience in August where his entire body was trimmed to look like a Pomeranian, and more upsetting his tail (which does NOT grow back) was chopped down. He did not look like my dog anymore. After talking with the leader over the phone, they stated the card used couldn't be refunded over the phone. Having been in finance for over 10 years, I thought it was weird, but she guaranteed me my account would be credited for the next time I wanted to come in. She also guaranteed that the account had been notated to show no cutting when he comes in, something I had been assured of before because his tail had been a previous issue and I always made sure to say no cutting when dropping him off but obviously it didn't happen. Also, removing a few matts does not equal cutting his entire body down close to the skin. I booked one last appt for him since we had a credit on file. After arriving to pick him up and finding there was NO credit on the account but rather the person I spoke with in August notated it had been refunded when it had NOT been, I was irritated. My dog was ready to go, antsy and barking. They had to get the manager to check on it, and the girl behind the counter kept saying snide remarks like "well it looks like grandma was extremely happy when he was picked up last time" (what?). They made me out to be a liar over a 56$ grooming appt. After a while, a groomer Zoe came out and said she remembered the situation and that he was supposed to have a credit on the account. Even after she was nice enough to stand up and say something, the manager Anastasia came back and made it sound like she moved mountains by calling "her boss" to get an approval. I was exhausted, offended and completely over the situation. I will never be using PetSmart again after the way I was treated with this incredibly poor customer service. I will never understand why it was that big of a communication mishap and why I was treated like a liar over such a small amount, when I even said I will pay if necessary. Such poor customer service. Do better, Holland. Petco has never treated my dog or me this way, so they will be getting me, my family's and anyone I can tell about it's future business. read more
