    Carpet steamer
    Valerie C.

    - - CARPET STEAMER RENTAL - - I was today years old when I found out that you can rent a carpet steamer at petsmart! I called ahead of time to inquire about the process and the pricing. The manager went over everything on the phone with me. So here is the deets- $40 for a 24-hour rental ($35 deposit which will be refunded once you return the cleaner in good form). I already have carpet cleaning solutions at home so I didn't need to buy- but you can purchase the solutions in the store. The manager, Evelyn, demonstrated how to use the steamer and it's pretty easy. The steamer is pretty compact, fits easily in the backseat of my car. It's roughly about 20-25 lbs if you need to carry it up the stairs. Most importantly, the steamer worked!

    Left was his hair before ! I asked for a trim and just round out his face

    Took my 10 month old baby Riley to get his Grooming usually they do a great job but this week I took him and told groomer exactly what I wanted and got nothing I asked for so disappointed.

    I took my little Yorkie Sammy to the Banfield veterinarian clinic at this PetSmart off El Toro Rd. in Mission Viejo. I was very nervous and concerned about possibly what they may find with Sammy as he's been having a lot of congestion and difficulty clearing his nasal passage. There was a very lovely lady at the front desk of the veterinarian clinic. She was very helpful. She asked me questions about my dog to start the process and just her demeanor alone made me feel more at ease. I'm so sorry I forgot her name but she was working at the front desk on the day of January 6, 2025. She had kind of slightly curly hair that was a pretty light, blondish, grayish color. So after she checked me in, I sat down, and I waited to go to the back of the clinic. This is when a gentleman by the name of Dave walked out, and he introduced himself as the veterinarian tech. Right off the bat Dave just had a demeanor that put me at ease when he smiled. He acknowledged my other little dog that I had with me at the time as well. Her name is honey, and he complimented Sammy. His voice was kind and reassuring, and he introduced himself to me and escorting me to the back. While he was taking the intake on why I had brought my dog Sammy to the clinic,he took the time as well to actually converse with me. We talked about his dogs as well and you can tell Dave is a big animal lover, and he's rescued dogs before. Just to hear him speak and see the compassion in his face , hear the compassion in his voice that means so much, especially when your dog means the world to you. You want to know that the Veterinary professionals who are working with your animals, love and care for dogs just as much as you do. Furthermore he put me at ease because I was so stressed and worked up as to what they may find or what they were going to tell me and I was just hoping that somebody would give me some answers for my dog so he can clear up his nasal passages. Very shortly after that, Dr. Yang walked into the room. I must say that I had a very minimal wait time from the start that I checked in at the front desk to the time I saw Dr. Yang was probably maybe 15 minutes. It was very quick and I appreciate that. When Dr. Yang walked through the door, she walked in with a smile on her face. She actually had a very big smile on her face and it made me smile too. Dr. Yang took the time to listen to my concerns as I explained my dog's symptoms and what my concerns were. She gave him a good exam and she helped clarify things for me to help rule out what his condition probably was not but also tell me what it might be and that's important because I wanted to feel like I could walk away from this clinic and have some help for my dog. After her examination, she prescribed some medication for my dog.. It was just such a breath of fresh air to have a veterinarian and a veterinarian tech who were both so gracious and kind and actually concerned about my dog. They didn't rush me as I was speaking. They weren't disinterested in what I had to say. They took their time and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. Dave also took the time to make sure that he explained how I should administer the medication to my dog. So basically I know I'm rambling here, but I feel like when you get good service like this, when you have professionals such as Dr. Yang and David and also the very kind and professional lady at the front desk of the clinic this makes you want to come back. This is what makes you put your trust in a clinic that they're going to do the right thing by your dog. Thank you so much Dr. Yang and thank you so much Dave for taking all my anxiety and my stress away and helping me be at ease and loving on my two little dogs and showing them all the care and kindness that they deserve. My babies are my world and I thank you for taking very good care of them today.

    Good selection of guinea pig toys
    Erin K.

    Stopped here to use the bathroom, which I was able to find and do pretty easily. Odd bathroom though - the toilet paper was installed *above* the toilet (behind the person sitting down). ?? WTF? Who is this for? Anyway, I made it work. Took a look around the store before I left. The birds and mammals looked to be in clean housing and looked healthy. I didn't check the reptiles, and the beta were a mixed bag. Some looked healthy and in (tiny) cups with clean water, while others were in discolored water and looked extremely unhappy/unwell. Unfortunately I get the feeling if I'm not *seeing* this it's only because someone does their job and moves the sick fish off the sales floor, not because it's not happening. Feels like if I'm seeing it, it must be even worse than it looks... Anyway, not the worst I've seen, but could do better for sure. Oh, I do like their variety of guinea pig toys. It's extensive and a lot of them are good quality. I also appreciated that they're finally offering cages that are actually a good size, sold as "start-up" cages for these critters. That said, they were also still selling cages that are really crummy and not the right size/shape or style for guinea pigs, marketing them as good for guinea pigs. Progress, but still room for improvement. Keep moving forward!

    It's always such a pleasure to work with Jennifer. My 13 year old dog Lucy loves to see her. Their grooming salon is clean, friendly and professional. Thank you Jennifer for a job well done. You are THE BEST!

    The groomers are fabulous. I have a 6 month old large puppy and they do an amazing job with him. Great experiences so far and great prices too. Thanks so much!

    Lucy looking very proper!! Thank you Jennifer!

    GROOMING The last time I brought my Labrador, Sadie, she was 14 years old (she passed Feb 2023). I recently got a new puppy (a Havanese, Lucy) and the first thing the groomer, Jennifer did was acknowledge that I used to bring Sadie! I was so touched by that. Maybe she did remember me or maybe she just read my history... who cares! She went out of her way to engage and connect and that impressed me. Then she spent time going over the different outcomes of blade types with a visual and helped me decide which size blade she should use. By the time I left I felt so confident that my baby Lucy was left in loving, caring hands. A big thank you to Jennifer

    Prices keep going up and up and UP!!! Where is the cap on pet food!?!?!? Store needs to be cleaned... DEEP CLEANED!!! No reason there should be cobwebs, that are not part of the Halloween decor, in the food aisles!!! Unacceptable!!! This store used to be so clean!!! They don't even greet you when you come in anymore! Come on Petsmart do better! You are beginning to look like Wal*mart!

    BOGO. UNTRUE
    Laura H.

    BOGO. Untrue. Not one thing in the store is buy one, get one. You have to buy 3 to get one. Spoke to the manager and that is their interpretation of BOGO. What do you think?

I'd worked with two trainers, including a 3 week board-and-train program ($5,000 investment), followed every instruction, and practiced daily, yet I didn't see changes. I was managing the behavior without ever understanding what was causing it. That changed within the first two hours with Brad. He didn't start with commands or tools. Instead, he focused on the psychology behind Sunny's reactions: what was driving them, what was reinforcing them, and what I was unknowingly communicating. No one had ever explained it that clearly. That was the turning point. For the first time, I wasn't guessing or correcting blindly. I could see what Sunny was experiencing in real time and understand how my timing, energy, and responses were shaping his behavior. That clarity changed everything. Walks feel completely different now. Sunny is no longer pulls since my training with Brad, the reactive outbursts are gone, and the experience itself is calm. I'm no longer bracing for problems because I know how to prevent them. I am SO appreciative!

We were so happy with everything that we decided to progress further by sending her to his 2 week boot camp at 16 months old. When I asked why such a good dog would go to boot camp, Vladae responded with, "Same reason that the smartest kids go to university, to become all they can be and hone their skills." That made sense to me! If it was any other boot camp I would have been nervous about my baby. I know how well Vladae treats his campers though and his focus on health and exercise.

While it's understandable to feel upset when receiving negative feedback, it's important to reflect on the reasons behind my review. I noticed that during our initial interaction, you made a comment about my background that many found to be a stereotypical and racist remark. In fact, I saw that you previously posted video footage of our encounter on your Instagram, but you removed it after receiving backlash for those comments. This indicates that others found your remarks concerning as well. I want to emphasize that my intention was never to harm your business; rather, it was to share my experience. Thankfully, I have since found another trainer who practices positive reinforcement, which aligns much better with my values and my dog's needs.

He came to…read moreour house when she was 11 weeks old (other trainers wanted to wait until she had all her puppy shots) and immediately got us off on the right foot for behavior training. He trained my husband and me as well as our puppy! So grateful. Tommy has a gift for knowing how dogs think and he shares that knowledge as part of the session. We never felt rushed to finish a lesson when he came to the house, he just dealt with our issues and reminded us to keep practicing with our dog until next time. We even decided to enroll in his weekly puppy class so that our puppy would learn to behave around other dogs. His private dog park is a god-send as we live in a condo and don't have a yard for our puppy to play in. She loved going there and we'll be back! We highly recommend Tommy. He showed us how to anticipate what our puppy was going to do before she did it and correct her misdeeds before they take place. Five stars!

Dave is always available for our questions and follow ups, and he sends over progress notes and photos every day from training sessions. We also would ask him about problem behavior such as counter surfing or jumping up on people to greet, and Dave would target those specific behaviors as well. We also appreciated how fast and quickly they acted on our puppy swallowing something he shouldn't have, and immediately gave him some hydrogen peroxide to get him to throw it up, which saved us from extremely expensive and likely traumatic vet visits and possible surgery. Very grateful! Every day we pick up our puppy he is so happy from a day of playing and getting love from all the staff, and is tired and ready for some cuddles and naps when he gets home. The staff here are so caring and really love each dog, I trust them to take care of our puppy. Highly recommend!
