We had a pretty bad experience with the grooming salon and we've really noticed a difference in the service since some recent staff turnover. We dropped our pooch off for a bath and brush and nail clip, which usually takes 2.5 - 3 hours (but they often finish in about 1.5 - 2 hours), and never got any phone call about him being ready for pickup. After about 3.5 hours, we decided to go back to the store and find out what's going on. It turns out that while all that time passed, the salon employee (AC) completed the bath and brush, but not the nails. In fact, the staff in the salon couldn't get ahold of AC to find out what was going on/where he was. This really concerned me...was our dog OK? Did something happen while we were gone? The nail clip and grind ended up being completed by a female employee who was very nice. We talked to the assistant store manager, Steve, and he was really nice to deal with and was extremely apologetic about the whole ordeal. He was totally confused about everything, even to the point of being worried about his employee. He even gave us a discount on our services and basically let doggo go to town on the bowl of treats at the register. ;) I know we'll be back here because it's close to home, we've never had problems like this, and the staff here really seem to like our dog. But I will not be booking future grooming sessions with AC. read more

I needed a few pet supplies so I stopped at this location. This is not my go to location and I probably won't go back. It wasn't as clean as the other locations and this didn't have what I needed so I ended up at another location anyways read more

We were in the area and dropped in to this Petsmart to pick up some dog food for our son's dog and her occasional visits to our home. She likes the Purina Pro Plan lamb and rice flavor and that's all we ever get her per the son's direction. It's convenient to have the various Petsmart locations around Chicagoland. It's usually the only reason we'll visit a Petsmart, as we don't own a pet ourselves. This location has a small strip mall storefront, but don't be fooled, as it has a pretty typical and large Petsmart floor plan inside. From a prior Yelp review site, it appears that the Banfield Pet Hospital that used to be here has closed and at present there is a Veterinary Services department here for what that's worth. read more

Generally, I'm not a fan of PetSmart as a corporation due to what I see as inconsistent standards for animal welfare. Setting that aside, this review is about this specific location, and I would still give it one star. I'm an avid fish keeper with four aquariums, so I visit pet stores regularly for livestock and supplies. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have consistently been disappointing. Many times I've walked in without being acknowledged, and several staff members have come across as dismissive or uninterested when I've asked questions. My biggest concern is the aquarium section. On every visit, I've seen multiple dead fish left in the tanks, and many of the tanks appear overcrowded. A large portion of the live aquatic plants are either dead or covered in mold, making them unsuitable for purchase. In my experience, the employees responsible for the fish department also seem to have limited knowledge about the species they're selling, which makes it difficult to trust the advice being given. If you're serious about keeping fish or are just getting started in the hobby, I'd recommend checking out Fish Planet in Deerfield instead. I've had much better experiences there, and they've consistently provided healthier livestock and more knowledgeable customer service. read more

I took my 7 month old Dachshund to the Petsmart Urgent Care in Northbrook and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who needs to get their baby veterinary care but doesn't need the ER. My puppy had eaten some pieces of a toy and was vomiting persistently. Initially I took him to the ER. After waiting 3 hours and never seeing a vet I decided to leave and take him to the Urgent Care. I didn't know it existed before but heard someone mention it in the lobby of the ER. Dr. Weller was FANTASTIC. I'm so glad I know about this place now! Save yourself the money and time if you can. Go here. I paid a fraction of the price and he got excellent care. read more

I love this Petsmart!!! The groomer named Julia is excellent, she goes above and beyond, gave my dog a lovely cut! The staff are very accommodating. Thank you!! read more

I struck gold by way of Royal Canin. Here is Mr Button's kibble. I get so anxious when I can't find it but I seem to always find it at Petsmart. I raise my hat to you, Petsmart. Mr Buttons and his niece thank you too! Keep on stocking that great merch! read more

PetSmart - Thé store is clean and everyone is so helpful lovely petsmart - Pet Training Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

This brick and mortar pet store is hit or miss. I came here to get some canned dog food which Pet supplies Plus seemed to have an abysmal supply of. Dog Training here excellent and I've taken 3 dogs here and they're all terrors Maybe I should reconsider that assessment. Customer service is spotty depending on who is at the cashier. There's an older blonde lady and you gotta get her in her good days I know that Covid has wrecked most places due to short staffing but I for one have had enough. If you accepted the position, be nicer. Pets Supplies Plus manages to train their shortened staff to greet customers and ask them if they need assistance, why can't this place? read more

Placed an online order for a few big bags of bird seed and the order was ready upon arrival and was a smooth transaction. We have also brought our rescue back for grooming and he was a little matted so needed a shorter cut and it went well! read more

Completely unprofessional, ugly, overpriced, rude, and just overall terrible service. DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING TO THIS PETSMART

Jamie did a fantastic job grooming my maltipoo Frosty! I have been to other groomers who will lazily shave him instead of trim like I ask. With the weather still being chilly I would like him to have some hair to stay warm. A friend of mine referred me to Jamie and she gave him a deep conditioning treatment to help get his matts out. The grooming included a nail trim as well. He looks and smells fantastic! She also gave me some tips on how to keep him looking great in between visits. I will definetly be back for my other two pups. Thank you Jamie! read more

PetSmart - Thank you Jamie for the great care in making me a handsome boy again! - Pet Training Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Overpriced pet food in comparison to local options but that's not really my complaint. I'm sorely dissatisfied with the manager (with the mustache) with lack of assistance on a really easy to address issue. Your aloof apathy toward customers is so obvious. It's sad really. There was a way to add a positive moment of truth but nope. You chose the IGAF route. Whatever. Not returning and will encourage others to shop elsewhere since so many other options available. read more

but you forgot the nails!!! We talked about the nails. You bent down to look if they need trimming or buffing. We talked about the curling pinky. We settled on buffing the nails and cutting the pinky. But you did not do it. I am very disappointed because I needed that done more than I needed the bath and conditioning. read more

Great place, they take care of my German Shepards grooming and she is a huge dog that can be a handful and they treat her like a princess and she has even started to enjoy being groomed there. They have all the normal pet needs, but they also have an on-site vet and several dog trainers with group or individual classes. Very nice staff and very caring and kind. read more

Dropped my dog off at 12:30 for a bath and trim and at 4:30 they called me telling me she would be done at 5. So what was she doing for 4 hours? Also told them not to trim her ears and they did. Will not be going there again. read more

I normally take my dogs to the grooming salon at PetSmart and they do a decent job depending on who they get. I'd give them a 4 star for a good job based on the price but after the most recent visit I'll drop it down to a 3. My dog was groomed, I brought her home and the next day noticed a cut on her leg. I was more upset that no one mentioned anything to me when I picked her up. I had to go back in there the next day to confront them and they said they would pay for her visit at Banfield. I hardly think that's a fair option, it was the absolute least they could do considering they are the ones that hurt my dog and not be forthright in what they did. Now my poor dog has to wear a cone for the next week while this heals. read more

This review is specifically for Kelly H in the grooming department. I was recommended to bring our little puppy Chewie to see Kelly when looking for a groomer in the area. Chewie LOVES going to see her! He wags his little tail everywhere. He was SO furry when he came in for his first full haircut and Kelly did an amazing job. Now Chewie can enjoy the rest of the summer with his short stylish hair. Thanks again, Kelly! read more

PetSmart - Grooming by Kelly - Pet Training Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Jess does a wonderful job with grooming. Would highly recommend making an appointment with her!

For supplies and training, it's very good. For grooming, not so much. Couldn't get in to our regular groomer, so tried Pet Smart in Northbrook. Almost couldn't recognize our small dog. Shortest cut she's ever had in six years! And winter's coming! There was no need to cut everything so short, and certainly not what we wanted. Not the most even of cuts either. If you know of a good groomer there and can schedule with that one, it would be better than taking your chances with whoever is available. You should also specify exactly how you want things cut. read more

I took my Shepherd/border collie mix here for a groom, and Jess did such a wonderful job! I'm not sure what these other people are talking about...she was super polite, professional, and genuinely seemed to have a great deal of knowledge about caring for dogs in general. My boy seemed to really take a liking to her as well! He came out tail wagging, smelling lovely, and looking happy as ever! I was worried, as he's had a previous bad experience with a groomer in the past (from a different location) but he seemed to have a great experience here. Will definitely be back! read more

I take my dog here for grooming. He is a cavapoo and they do a fantastic teddy bear cut on him! Only 4 stars instead of 5 because of an $20 upgrade (great smelling shampoo) that scent barely lasts a day. read more

My poodle is very shy, so it can be a challenge to get her to stay calm for a trim. At this petsmart location that is not a problem, She is excited to see the staff, and you can tell by their smiles they are excited to see her too! I always like to check out the fish aquariums, while my doggo is pampered. LOVE IT!!!!! read more

This place ought to be shut down. It's filthy in the worse way. I feel horrible for any animals that go into that establishment! Let alone the employees that have to work there! The bacteria and germs that are crawling in every nook and cranny should never be allowed! I seriously saw two huge puddles of pee, and smudges of poop in the isles, ALL IN THE SAME VISIT! As soon as you enter into this PetSmart, you notice the pee stained carpet, then the doors open and your hit with the stench of urine and feces! I would NEVER bring my dog in this store! Honestly, anyone reading this review; do not bring your beloved pets in here! It's truly disgusting. I'm sorry, but it is! read more

I would give 3.5 stars- this place is chronically understaffed and ALWAYS picked over. 3.5 cuz the people who work there are really nice. The space isn't quite big enough, either. That said, it's convenient when in the North burbs, as I often am, and will do just about anything not to buy anything in the city. BUT, it's still Cook County. Just be prepared not to find your specialty item NOT in stock (ie, my cat's special Nutro canned food). That seems to go with the Petsmarts all over, however. read more

The people in the grooming section are completely clueless. If you do t want to waste your time avoid this location or pets mart all together read more

Went here today to buy dog food. Cashier wasn't wearing a mask and refused to put one on. Don't believe what they say on the website. This location is not enforcing mask usage among their employees read more

Don't know why all the negatives. I'm from northbrook and never had an issue there. Always friendly and clean. Unless its busy. But only so many employes can be hired anyway. Any joint gets busy it understandable. But they have always been nice. And clean store. read more

It's understandable why much of the sales staff seems to lack any skills in customer service or communication (and prefers to ogle at their phone while ringing up customers at check out); the management is the most lazy and incompetent bunch of "professionals" I think I've encountered in any retail environment. It sucks that the sales team is left hanging with such poor influencers, so I no way blame them for the numerous bad experiences I've had. Regardless, I think you can do better because I've seen better at other PetSmart locations. read more

Just picked my dog up from the groomer. Scalped! I specifically said do NOT cut short. They called before his cut and said he had a few mats around neck and assured me they would not shave him. Not sure what their definition of shave is, cant get much shorter than this. Just terrible. It's sheer laziness, pardon the pun. My dog had thick curly fur and she (Jess) just didn't feel like blowing it out. Very upset and so is my dog. read more

I shop here whenever I am in the area. I like that there are so many options in this mall that I can get everything I need done in one strip mall. The store has all the stuff I need for my cats and I never have a problem finding what I need. I have not spoken to any of the workers but if it is that easy to find what you need then why talk to anyone. Parking is easy and free. read more

I enjoyed shopping here, Customer service was fantastic, Melania helped me with hamsters she was very knowledgeable and sweet. She went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met! Awesome place! read more

My guy had been a client at the PetSmart in Evanston for YEARS! He had one or two haircuts after Leo left by Josh; then Josh left. I became V suspect about the idea of another groomer working with my fur baby. I tried to give this specific location one more chance. However I couldn't; they were trying to play me out and say that "Leo gave discounts before." So you're telling me I received multiple "discounts" the past 9.5 years?! Girl, BYE! In a fluster I remembered that my boy had been groomed at the NB location. So I call up to make an appointment; not only does he get scheduled the same damn day, we have met his new "perfect match" for a groomer. Her name is Liz! She was so sweet and accommodating, and I greatly appreciate that. Hey Liz if you're reading this... please don't leave because Max received SO many compliments on his new "do," that I would be hard pressed to find another groomer! Thank you again for taking such good care of him, and for the most adorable photos ever! read more

We needed an emergency groomer for our Wheaten Terrier and made a last minute appointment for a haircut for our Pup, Wilson. I was hesitant to take him to a major chain bc the last time Wilson got a haircut at it looked like a toddler gave him a haircut - when I picked him up last week I WAS BLOWN AWAY! he looks absolutely fantastic!!! And it was cheaper than the city where we usually go. I will be back! thank you to the ladies at the groomer last Father's Day! read more

One star JUST for the grooming salon. The rest of the store is amazing! The salon is despicable with extremelyyyy rude people in there. They did not explain anything. I will NEVER go back to the salon. Do not go there! read more

I am not sure why I come to this grooming location, they are consistently rude and unorganized. I had to wait 10 days to get my cat groomed, I took her in this am for her grooming appointment and IGOR was so RUDE, shrugging his shoulder, you don't have an appointment. I told him the whole saga that I had to wait 10 days due to someone taking a leave of absence, blah blah blah, he was like, not my problem, no resolution, I I will never go to a PETSMART store again. read more

If I could leave no stars I would. If you love your dog... DO NOT BRING THEM HERE! We brought our 100% HEALTHY German shepherd here for a bath and two days ago had to put him down. He picked up some sort of bacterial infection from going here. Our dog is not friendly so aside from being home in his yard, he does not go anywhere just to get groomed once in a great while. Had a 104.6 fever, blood work came back horrendous, was in the ER clinic for 5 hours memorial weekend... All because of this filthy establishment. I called the manager JESSE to tell him what happened. He blew me off for the entire month. Promised to call back never did. I escalated it to corporate and little do you know who calls....yup JESSE! It has now been three days since I had to put my shepherd down and it's all because of petsmart. The infection he picked up was eating away at him and slowly shutting down his organs. We were in and out of our vet for three weeks trying to save him. He couldn't walk, wouldn't eat, was leaking fluid out of his body, urine was infected (found out when they drained him with a catheter)......it makes me sick to think of. Our boy suffered so bad and he was COMPLETELY HEALTHY!!!! I wonder how many other people have went through what I have. If so please contact me directly. I would like to hear your story and help others from going through this. Save yourself the heart ach.... I have lost my forever best friend and it's all thanks to them! Shame on you petsmart. read more
