The guys there are awfully friendly. You can't bump into an associate there without them trying to help you. It feels very friendly in there. It like they actually WANT you in there. So unlike others these days. Is it a franchise? Somebody is doing a great job. Nay They all are. !! read more

I stopped into PetSmart recently just to pick up a Kong toy for our aggressive chewing German Short-Haired Pointer--and walked into something that felt more like a neighborhood gathering than a store run. Right at the entrance, a local rescue had puppies up for adoption. It was more than just cute--it was heartwarming. Staff and volunteers were both passionate and ingratiating: They took the time to introduce each pup and talk to interested families. It wasn't just a display--it was a chance to make a real connection, and you could feel it. When the line at checkout started to build, one of the employees didn't hesitate--immediately opened another register without being asked. That kind of customer service is so rare these days, and I immediately noticed it. It kept things moving and let the old lady at the front take her time. What really struck me, though, was the atmosphere. People chatted with each other in the aisles about pets, swapped advice on the best dog beds, and pointed out toys their pets loved. The staff was right there in sharing their experiences and expertise in equal measures--friendly, helpful, and clearly there for the animals. PetSmart wasn't just a place to shop--it was a place where animal lovers connected. Efficient, caring, and full of heart. I'll definitely be back. read more

Customer Service!! Its hard not to see how different someone is treated as you're checking out. Customer in front of me received a Welcoming smile, Hi how you doing and small talk. Once it was my turn HIS light just went off, He Looked so friendly as I had admired all the ink he wore. No Hello, no smile so i said Hello and no response!! Sad! By the time he was done I was ready to just leave Never will I stop at this location, Nor will I recommend it! I even left without my receipt but realized HE charged me full price for dicounted items! I went into my local store and spoke to Jose (Manager) and he took care of me. Wish I had gotten this guys name. Big, tattooed guy!! Maybe I will go in again. I would have asked for a supervisor but my husband was in the car and had just gotten out of immediate care down the road. read more

I was so disappointed with my dogs grooming today. I provided a picture of how I wanted my dog to look. Plus we had discussed NOT to trim her tail. My dog came back looking like a freak. Tail area was completely shaved off and the dog had absolutely no hair left. They just shaved her completely bare. I have NEVER been so disappointed with any groomer. We will NEVER go back there again. read more

I contacted the store about this and never heard back (after 4 days) so I'll post my review here. I brought in my toy poodle for a basic grooming ($54-ish). Right away I was upsold for the better shampoo and conditioner, and a special "Package" that included nail grinding, a holiday bandana and a "gift". I don't recall the other "extras" offered. I asked for shaved paws and flaired "boot" legs. I picked her up as I was racing to a meeting. Her fur looked beautiful, (thus a star) BUT, no flaired legs, no shaved feet, no nail clipping and grinding, no bandana or gift, AND they didn't trim or clean her butt or lady bits! She actually had a small 1/4" turd under her tail. And for this, I paid $98.00!!! I complained and got no response. Thus they significantly over charge and under perform. read more

The grooming staff at the Palm Desert California PetSmart is the worst! I was trying to talk to my groomer about my dog's nails and she cut me off when I was talking so I politely said could I please finish what I was saying. She copped an attitude, and when she finished my dog's nails, they were square and frayed out, and I just asked if she could take the Dremel to the sides and get the feathering of the nails off. She again told me how she knew how to do nails. The manager chimed in that they couldn't cut them any shorter when I never once asked them to cut them mini shorter she began giving me a rundown of how the nerve and the dogs nail blah blah blah. I had another dog to be fully groomed after that, and she said that she did not feel comfortable, grooming my dog and refused me service. I came in an hour early when they called me to see if I could come in. I was paying for the express I bought a little hood for the stress reducing method for my dog. Rudest, impolite, the worst service I will never go back. I called the manager and told them I would not be paying for my service because I didn't get what I asked for. avoid this business. They don't like their job get another job. If I could give them no stars, I would. read more

So disappointed! Shaved legs clean, she had beautiful fluffy legs. And they completely ignored her head. Her beard is filthy, and sticky and her ears and beard are over grown. All for just $50!!!! So so disappointed. Never again! read more

I took my 4 month old Havenesse puppy to his 3 grooming appointment (first here) after 4 hours I was able to pick him up (I waited at the store for 1.5 hours as I was told 2-3 hr} when I arrived after 3 hours I watched as 2 store employess chatted the ladie while she grommed my pet for 40 minutes, after he came out I was pleased with the intial cut, however within 2 hours of returning home I noticed his right eyed completly closed up, I immediatly contacted the store and spoke with the ladie who groomed him who stated " it is probley just hair in his eye and flush it with water". on saturday morning it was oozing puss and I contacted our vet. I went into the store today to speak with the manager she stated " I am new and was just hired", while I was speaking with this manager an employee from the saloon continualy made rudecomments, after ignoring her for the deration of the conversaation she still contimued at which point I told then manage that NO owner of a pet abused in this state shoul;d be spoken to this way by an employee!. I have NEVER in my 57 years dealt with this level of rudness least it be regarding my puppy who now has an eye so swelled he cant see out of, though it whas begun to get better he will be going to the vet first thing in the am. Take my post as you will but if you take your dog thier for grooming and this happens do not be surprised, trust me spend the extra money and go to a TRUE salon. read more

Very nice store with plenty of supplies for your pet. Lots of choices such as doggie fences, beds, cages, leashes, collars, etc. Huge choice of food items from canned food to biscuits.

PetSmart - Pet Training Near Me - Palm Desert, California

There is one groomer there, we have no complaints about the job she does. We have been taking our pets there 2 years now, and she is one of the rudest people. We should have stopped a long time ago, we only continued because it was affordable and she did not do a bad job. She wants a tip, she treats you based on how much tip you give her and that should be the other way around. She will make you wait if you show up 5 minutes early and then demands you pick the pets up immediately when she calls and they are not ready when you get there. She snippy, uncommunicative about how things went etc. she refused to do one of our cats because it was being a grumpy cat (she has been groomed monthly for over 10 years). Now she knows we are unhappy and it's are last day, so she resorts to playing games and refuses to call us and tell us our pets are finished and we need to pick them up. NOT recommended. read more

I have to say, I've always loved PetSmart. 'Till the other day. They're closing the little store on Town Center Way. Well, ok, they supposedly need to consolidate. I don't like that because it's location is so convienient. HOWEVER, what is soooooo not ok, is they are firing everybody...kinda. The employees have a choice between being fired or going to the other store on Monteray, with FEWER hours and LOWER pay. What a deal, they want loyality from their staff, but the company has no loyality for its employees. Stinks on ice. read more

I like this petsmart for its convenient location and friendly employees. Because I'm not able to reach Petsmart general customer care line (it simply hangs up on you) I'd like to leave some feedback in case it's helpful. Paper bags are useless. Mine broke while I was carrying my pet food up some stairs, spilling out and onto the ground below and also making my trip up the stairs a bit dangerous. Additionally- The requirement to have to use my pin in my debit card instead of being able to use it as a credit card feels like a security issue for your customers forcing them to enter their pin in a public place. Just my 2 cents and hope it might be helpful to the store for their future consideration. read more

PetSmart I would have to say they are very good at what they do. Max Patrick my Havanese he loves going to PetSmart, his groomer is Norma. Norma understands his illness so she takes it real easy with Max Patrick, she takes her time, he is a happy camper when he gets home. PetSmart has some very inexpensive stuffed animals you can buy before you pick up your dog, you can praise them for being such a good boy or girl when they get home. You do get your money's worth with their grooming. Let me add that they opened up their vet services. I was very happy to see his vet came from PetSmart in Palm Desert. It's not a Banfield Vet Clinic, it was opened by PetSmart and his vet is wonderful, she is the one that found his cancer from Banfield in Palm Desert and referred me to a cancer doctor in Palm Desert Dr. Huber. Max Patrick had his surgery by Dr. Huber, it was unfortunate that the cancer cells had already spread before his surgery, It's been over two years since his surgery and Max Patrick is going strong and is not suffering at all. read more

I have a very anxious Cockapoo. I've booked with Jenny twice and she is so sweet! She never complains about how difficult my Bella can be, she does the best she can with her and I am just so grateful she is willing to work with me to make Bella comfortable in her grooming. Bella tends to itch really bad it she does not get a good cut every month. Thank you Jenny, for taking care of our little monster child! You are an ANGEL! read more

Always great service with our dogs!!! We are happy with the whole staff. Please keep up the great service Petsmart!

SECOND REVIEW! The groomer Britney that I usually use is no longer there. I decided to get Rachel M a try. I'm gonna be honest here. I actually picked her because we have the same first name and the same last initial! Well I guess my intuition was right on. She groomed my dog beautifully. She did exactly what I wanted. She said he was very well behaved for her as well. I am so glad that Petsmart treats me so well. I found my new groomer! read more

Horrible service. They double book the groomers. I walked in and someone else had an appointment at the same time with the same groomer. So my small dog that went for a bath and brush took over 2 1/2 hours and I'm not even sure he got a bath. He does not smell like he had a bath and his feet were still dirty and his beard was still dirty and still had a small mat that wasn't brushed. The groomer was late on top of it. read more

I got my dog groomed from Maria and over in la quinta and she was amazing i definitely will be coming back

Wish they answered their phones or returned messages - was able to get an appointment four weeks out after going in and making it in person.

This is for grooming services. I showed up for my appointment and found out that I accidentally made it for the wrong location. Trudy let me stay and fitted Lucy in. Which was a great relief because she had gotten car sick, and putting her in the car to drive to the other location wasn't an option. She took great care of her and she was so nice. We will be asking for Trudy from now on! Thanks Trudy! read more

I can't recommend Nicole at Petsmart and more highly . Super professional and caring and assisted me with my dog Oliver at a moments notice and went over and above to make she we were satisfied and well taken care of . Wonderful place to bring your pet . read more

ive been a regular customer for over 2 years .. and happy with the job the groomer does .. but she is constatly complaining that she is doing extra work ... and not getting paid for it .. plus they keep jacking my price up each and everytime .. just as a surcharge on 7/8/24 since it was so close to 4th of july .. they wanted a extra 5.00 .. since its 7/8/24 so close to 4th of july . are you kidding me 4th of july was 4 days ago ! what a rip off .. then i ask for a coupon book that is stitting on the desk in front of me .. and my groomer who has always given me the coupon book goes no .. that expired .. in the past she told me they take expired coupons . Just so dispapointed in my groomer and the staff at this location on town square palm desert ..7/8/24 tiime for a new place . I cant believe this .. plus were in dead season since its 118 degrees out .. you think they would like the business . shame on them ..... also they have a 19.00 wash and blow dry but she tells me NOT my shitzzu since here hair is 1 1/2 inches long and not under 1 iinch .. the sign never said that .. this place MUST Be getting ready to go under .. since they have such poor customer service . Again the grooming was very good and i was happy with that .. except for the ruddness and jacking of the price each and everytime . read more

Great store to shop at. Small Mom and Pop feel. The cats and kittens that are housed there are always well taken care of. They do not have EVERYTHING that a bigger Petsmart has to offer, but are very helpful to find an alternative or call the other store to see if they carry what you need. read more

my original review was removed by yelp for not giving enough detail. so here is the detail. yesterday while purchasing some treats I was asked for my pet smart card, I replied i did not have one nor did I want one. The cashier whom told me his name was "James the manager" then asked me for my phone number, I gave it, thinking he needed it for ... reasons. when he asked my name he told me I would save money, I said I did not want to give my info. "James the manager," responded to me with "then you won't save money." 3 times he argued, I felt lectured, patronized and it was upsetting. Then when leaving, as I was walking out the door, he said loudly "I hope you have a better day." Again I was left with being disrespected and antagonized. #sexism or just bad customer service, you choose. I even had a 22 minute conversation with the district manager of James the managers, in which he supported my complaint with antagonizing me as I left the store. What about yelp removing my original review stating I did not give enough detail, well here it is everyone. if you take to yelp and give your opinion and pet smart thinks it does too much damage then it gets removed and yelp supports that. What's up with that #yelp? So in conclusion I left pet smart feeling disrespected, provoked and antagonized. Is this more about me being silenced as a woman or pet smart not wanting to retrain employees on how to treat people? #timesup #petsmsrt #yelp read more

Walked in and was not greeted at all, then proceeded to wait at register to make a return. I waited for so long and employees kept ignoring me while I was waiting. Finally got helped and then another customer walked in and the employee who was helping me instead decided to help them while I waited there which seemed to feel like forever. Then nagged at me for the other customers attitude which I did not care to hear!!! Employee didn't seem to know what they were doing and had to repeatedly do the transaction twice. It was all a waste of time. I let out one slight cough and employee looked disgusted by me, she stepped so far away from me and didn't seem like she wanted to continue to help me and was even looking for another employee to finish helping me instead. It wouldn't have taken any longer than it should have if she knew what she was doing in the first place! Extremely horrible experience, I will never shop here at this location ever again! It looked so tiny & poorly managed anyways! read more

I have been shopping at this location for a few months but today is my last visit here. In fact, my visit ended in a call to corporate regarding the staff members who yelled at me calling me a rude person. Apparently one of the managers was giving me additional discounts, which of course I never complained about, except they weren't completely legal. He was marking down my dogs food as if it was about to expire. The issue was that the other employees didn't know how to do the discount and I wasn't even sure how they were doing it, until we looked up my previous receipts. At Petco, they Do not charge for their coupon books but I felt pressured when an associate named Mindy sold one to me. She did it without my consent originally and made me feel pressured after she said that I would receive no discounts if didn't purchase it. When I complained on this last visit, she started screaming at me, in front of he manager Brittany, who did nothing except tell her to go to the back of the store. Then another employee, Rachel, a dog groomer, started saying that I was rude. Really? I have never interacted with you in my life?! All of this was being done in front of the MOD named Brittany. At this point, I called corporate who stated that they would investigate and call back with a resolution. My resolution is to not shop there or at any PetSmart again. read more

I usually go to the PetSmart on Monterey because they have a Banfield Vet there so I can pick up prescription cat food...but I came here yesterday to pick up non-prescription food. Early Sunday afternoon and the place was deserted? When I told my daughter that I came here, she said she thought it was closed down because she came here once during business hours and it was closed. Hmmmm...maybe that is why it was deserted. Anyway, I got my cat food and was on my way lickity split. read more

My mother and I have always had great service at this location until today. Today we encountered the most condescending,unprofessional man named Tony.

After Tony turned us away we asked for the manager.Elissa came to help us, she was very accommodating and pleasant. She was able to make our exchange!
