Valencia G.

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.

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.

Good selection of guinea pig toys

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!

Blood on his nail area, blood streaks on the floor.

Took our dog for grooming, saw blood on his paw and nail area, blood streaks on the floor. Unacceptable. BEWARE, would NOT recommend.

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?

Our Fur-balls  favorite food

See all

I would just like to think MJ and all of his staff for the outstanding service…read moreThank you for going out of your way and sending me the doggy spa van. It was much appreciated. I was really in a bind and my dog really needed a groom. MJ and the staff really care about the well-being of our dogs They really treat us like family. Thank you for that. Their hard work doesn't go unnoticed. You all are amazing and of course my dog looks fabulous

Response to MJ: I am…read morenot writing this review on behalf of anyone else. This is my personal experience with you. Your assumption is incorrect. Having worked in the mental health field, I choose not to engage in combative or confrontational exchanges, which is why I did not argue with you in the moment. However, choosing not to argue does not invalidate my experience. As a fellow business owner, I stand by the fact that feedback--especially when it is uncomfortable--is part of operating a business. My review is not an attack; it is an honest observation based on my direct interaction with you. It is also consistent with prior public feedback regarding similar concerns about your conduct. Respect goes both ways, and professionalism should always remain the standard--especially from leadership. Original review: Excellent groomers, but the owner's behavior was unacceptable. The grooming service itself was great and deserves five stars. Unfortunately, the owner's conduct completely undermined the experience. He was aggressive, dismissive, and unwilling to accept any accountability. Rather than engaging in a productive conversation, he chose to rant, making the interaction uncomfortable and unprofessional. As a business owner, I understand that problems can occur--but professionalism, accountability, and respectful communication are non-negotiable. This experience was tarnished solely due to the owner's behavior, which is disappointing given the quality of the grooming staff.
