***See my Chihuahua, Elsie. She was a 5 lb.
Black and White Chihuahua. She died after eating Purina wet food. She could no longer go to the bathroom or eat anything.
My other Chihuahua, Lucy, also got very sick, same food. She too died from something like a sudden system failure.
My neighbor's black Border Collie mix, Raymond, also died from the same batch of food, the night he ate it.
3rd Chihuahua, Dante, got sick, had to go to Vet. Only one who survived.
All the same food.
My Vet had prescribed garbage Hills Prescription Diet & Hills Science Diet after Dante was sick from the Purina.
Went to PetSmart, bought 1 bag and 2 cans. I still had 6 cans from months before, same stuff, dogs hated it. NOWHERE else near me, not even the Vet's, that sells it.
PetSmart made a huge to-do giving us some "prescription card".
Then the official Science Diet recall happened. Stopped feeding him immediately, shouldn't be a problem with an "official recall" at PetSmart, right? Wrong!
I take in the 1 bag and 8 cans, I have the receipt for the bag and 2 cans, other cans you could look under my Frequent Rewards account and find it.
But the "Assistant Manager Chris" at the Roseville, MI store did not want to do any returns!
He tells me, he can't return these RX items
without that RX card! What?
He's holding my actual RECEIPT, I've had a PetSmart Rewards card for over 20 years! Why do I need the RX card? Where does it say this in ANY store policy? It's not even stated on the receipt. I said "Show me." He said "No."
This was an "official recall" by Science Diet, animals are getting sick, and this idiot at PetSmart is telling me I need this RX card, that I threw away when this recall hit, to return the items that are on the receipt AND on my Rewards card.
So I argued, show me this return policy, where does it say for RX foods I need the RX card, but NOT the actual receipt? It doesn't.
Then he says, that's HIS policy! He doesn't have to follow PetSmart's rules!
He said "I'll do you a favor this one time and give you a store credit..."
So PetSmart's employees have their OWN POLICY to go against corporate rules and do whatever they want, even not taking back official recalls that they sold to us and make our pets sick.
PetSmart's Official Return Policy. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on it about needing the RX card that they issue when you buy RX food from them, you don't even need the receipt, and Chris' fairytale return policy is not on the receipt I handed him.
I said that in my car, I had the Purina food that made my dogs sick, one of my Chihuahuas died after eating this, another later did, so did my neighbor's dog, same stuff. I wanted to make sure I could get a store credit if I carried it in from my car.
I wanted it pulled from their shelves. They can destroy it in cases such as these. I did not want it to be resold.
"Assistant Manager Chris" at the Roseville, MI store tells me the following in half a minute:
a. You need to complain to Purina to get your $$$ back
b. You need to complain to Purina, have them contact PetSmart to tell us to give your $$$ back
c. No, I'll only give you a store credit for the Purina food
d. You can't have a store credit or a refund for the Purina food you bought at PetSmart
e. You have to have the Store Mgr give you the refund
f. I'm not authorized to do "large refunds"
g. I don't know when the Store Mgr works, maybe Monday?
h. I'm not sure of his name, oh wait, it's Greg
i. No, I can't check Greg's hours for Monday, the schedule isn't made yet (even tho it's 8PM on Saturday)
At no point did he even ASK if I had a receipt. He didn't offer to check my Rewards card. He was doing this "as a favor".
My 2 dogs DIED from this Purina wet food. So did my Neighbor's dog. My other dog was sick and at the Vet from the Purina wet food. So I'm not asking for my Vet bills to be paid by PetSmart, I was asking them to honor their own Return Policy. The No-Hassles Return Policy. What a joke!
I also asked Chris to contact Purina, let them know the situation. Nope. "How can i contact them then?" His answer, "Figure it out yourself."
3 out of 4 dogs died after eating this Purina wet food.
PetSmart DID NOT CARE, would not pull the food, would not contact Purina. The store mgr., Greg, emailed me, then did nothing with my response.
