    PetSmart Merriam is great, but this review is specifically for the hotel. I'd like to start off with the lovely staff that always greets my dog with so much enthusiasm. I've boarded him several times, and used their daycare services. I always feel at ease during his visits, as I know he will be well taken care of. They have pawty days throughout the month, and all the dogs get their pictures taken. It's literally the best thing ever! If you're looking for an affordable, safe and clean place, this is it!

    We had the best experience we've ever had at a PetSmart store on this last Saturday 7/20. We peeked in while in the area to see if any cats were there to adopt (just for fun) and ended up leaving with our sweet new kitten Pleakley (who has since been named Finn). While we were there, 3 cats got adopted. I think this has a lot to do with the person working that area named Ava. She was incredibly sweet and kind and helped us (and I'm sure both other families) make the correct choice in picking out their sweet babies to take home. I asked about food preferences for what our kitten eats and she told us what he's been fed, but how we could comfortably switch his diet if needed. She was knowledgeable and we loved hearing about her dog in between deciding to adopt. I wish I could remember the name of the woman who checked us out that day, because she was just as friendly and knowledgeable and gave us great tips about the PetSmart app, as well as other ways we could save with purchases for our perfect new family member. I will forever love this location for the relationships we made that day!

    Firstly, really sweet people work here, and I have never had a problem with staff. However, I think management needs to get it together with the betta -- some of these poor babies were swimming in their own excrement, very obviously had not had water changed in awhile, several had fin rot, and a couple were pineconing/puffing up. They were on their last legs. Very obviously not being cared for, and it was really upsetting to see. Petsmart should either care about these beautiful fish in these tiny jars, or stop giving Glofish and these companies that perpetuate these harmful practices business. Please train the staff to care for these poor babies.

    I took in my maltipoo to get his hair washed and cut with Lindsay.. she did a wonderful job, not too short! I love how it came out. It is exactly how my husband and I wanted it! Thanks Lindsay

    Waisted my time twice now. Very nice people though. I won't be going back. Can't keep changing my schedule around them.

    The main reason is because of the PetHotel, which offers boarding, Doggie Day Camp, and dog training.

    When my dog was a little puppy, we'd drop him off at their Westport location mainly to burn energy…read moreoff. He's become a sleepy old man who doesn't need that anymore, but we did need a one-night stay handled. Dog Pawz was good overall. The staff was friendly, and the prices were fair. I called vs booked online in order to avoid any confusion and I like that there wasn't a super strict drop-off or pick-up time. Our weekend was unique in that we had no idea how the schedule would play out (selling our house) and this was a nice perk. During Covid times, they came out to the car to leash him up and take him in. I checked in a few times on their webcam, and I don't know if they can get out from their contract with whoever provides it, but I'd recommend it. It's spotty at best, and difficult to navigate. We gave up because it didn't work. I did notice my little guy sleeping on the floor in the late evening, and we had requested a private room for him which he never received. I wasn't too upset about it, but did mention it to the staff. The manager called quickly and was honest about things (biz picking up as Covid eases, they didn't have one available, and their staff is very new) which I understand. All in all, I liked this spot. I was a tiny bit frustrated that he wasn't able to get what we requested, but at the end of the day it was OK. Oh and I also added a bath for him for just $10 (maybe $15, can't recall) which was so worth it.

    I can't say enough great things about this place. We were nervous about boarding our little dog and…read moreher getting into trouble with big dogs but that has never happened. In fact, our little dog is treated like a rock star and looks happy and freshly bathed when we pick her up from boarding. Such a relief! The only thing I would add to the service is a camera video so I can see her when I'm away traveling.

    I am appalled at how my dog was treated over Memorial Day weekend. I've been a customer of Pooches…read moreParadise for more than 20 years and used to think of the business and the staff as an extension to our family. I am heartbroken by the decline and know that many of my local friends have also expressed concern over it. All the staff who used to work there left soon after the new management took over a few years back. It's become so much worse recently in my opinion, especially the last couple of times I've boarded my dog. First off, you are blasted by a strong urine smell when walking in the front door, which it never had before. After that, I was told by the front desk attendant that my dog peed her bed the night before. She then brought me all of her stuff, including the soaked pee filled bed in a trash bag that reeked 1. My dog has NEVER peed on anything in the house, for the 10 years I've had her, no matter how long I've left her. NEVER, not even after 12 hours! 2. It definitely smelled like more than one accident the night before. I asked the front desk attendant what happened with her the rest of the time and was told curtly that she guessed it was fine since she had no other notes on her. She also said that she only handled the front desk and never offered to get anyone to talk to me about it, even after I said that she had never peed on anything in the house, ever. I regret not asking her to get anyone else, but wanted to get myself and my dog out of there ASAP as the smell was only getting worse. Finally, she brought out my 11 year old pitbull-boxer mix who looked really unhappy. She just seemed like a different dog the rest of the evening and through the next couple of days. Not the normal, so exhausted she only wants to sleep, but more like she was not happy. I noticed when I unpacked her belongings that they didn't follow all of the instructions by what was sent back home. She didn't get her lunches most days or her bedtime snack every day I was gone. The longer I've been away from the situation, the more frustrated I've become wondering what happened to my poor girl while I was out of town. I will NEVER be bringing my dog back to Pooches Paradise! I also know quite a few neighborhood friends who have also stopped using Pooches Paradise in the last couple of years. Sadly not the place it used to be.

    We generally like Pooches Paradise. They're really responsive via email (less so via phone) and are…read morealways excited to see our dog. The reason for 4 stars is that their hours for pick up and drop off are inconvenient (read: you can't just drop off at any time, only during certain time frames). This is different than any doggy daycare I've ever used and it negatively affects my experience.
