Only came in here for a few short minutes but found everything I needed (and then some) within minutes. Spent $13 and got 2 rib bones, 1 meat chew, and a stuffed xmas squeaky? Hell yeah! My dog was SPOILED on xmas day

PetSmart in Newbury Park is super nice. I was greeted by a friendly cashier "Brady". Store was immaculate with great lighting. Well stocked and colorful. There were no lines and the workers were busy stocking or cleaning the store. I bought a cute little vest for my puppy. It was really expensive $26 which was the only disappointing thing about my PetCo experience. Prices should be more reasonable and then perhaps more customers will shop at this location for all of their pet needs B++

Horrible groomers! Took my dog in for a haircut with "Journey" and she chopped off her dew claw. She ended up taking her to the vet next door because she was bleeding a lot, and my poor dog was sedated to remove what was let of her toe. Dog had to wear a cone for two weeks, and my poor dog was not herself for days. Worst part was I never even received an apology! Only a don't worry pet smart is covering the bill. Had I received a sincere apology it would have helped. I will say this review does NOT apply to the vets at Banfield they were great!

We used to like coming into PetSmart to get our Corgi groomed, until we came in today. Today, our groomer Kendra completely butchered our corgis coat. She had asked if his usual cut was fine, I said yet but noted that we were moving to Washington where it's significantly colder and maybe we should go longer. She brought out the length examples but noted it should probably be fine as is. I said sure. 2 hours later I get a call asking how often we get his hair cut, I said every 2 months or so. She noted that it was "very uneven" so if it looks weird, it's because she's trying to even it up. We pick him up....and she had completely shaved his entire top coat. All of it. Likely she's new or maybe never dealt with a corgi or 2 coat dogs....but this was awful. The response from the manager? To offer a discount on the next service (never happening again) or a sweater. Even for what they were attempting to do, the cut was completely uneven and just bad. It's just bad. My recommendation is to just take your pet to a real groomer who knows what they're doing. I've attached the before and after, everyone can judge for themselves.

I'll start off by saying I'm so glad out of all the dog trainers I was talking to for my boy, I…read moredecided to come to Matan! More specifically, the trainer Amelia is who my boy Finn, my family, and I are grateful for! My Australian Shepherd Finn is a good boy who has a lot of love to give, is goofy, and a ton of energy to go with him. But, while I love him to death, before training with Amelia he was always really reactive and sometimes aggressive with other dogs, super stubborn with commands, bad resource guarding, and even really bad leash walking. We've been training for a couple of months now, and my boy Finn has come such a long way! While he still has work to do and much more to learn, Amelia has helped us transform Finn into a much better dog in and outside of the house. I can take Finn for walks and not really ever worry about him pulling or getting reactive towards random dogs or people now. He's following his commands not just in the house, but out in public with distractions all around him. We're able to be near him while eating or even take toys or food away without him getting mad like he previously used to when he had resource guarding issues. He's even able to be in group classes now with many other dogs and he's able to participate, be engaged, and enjoy his time there with the other people and dogs! While I can't put everything that Amelia has helped us with, I can 100% say she has been such a good trainer for us and for Finn. Like I said, he still has much to learn but Amelia has helped us and my boy grow so much in the short time we've had. And even after all his training, he's still the same goofy, sweet, energetic boy he was before, just so much more mature and in control of his actions. Thank you Matan dog training and thank you Amelia!

I'm highly upset and disappointed with this company. If you didn't read my husband's review…read morealready, I want to explain my frustrations. My sweet 1-year-old German Shepherd, Oso, was scheduled for a 2-week board-and-train and came home under horrible circumstances. We've had Oso since he was a baby and taught him the basics ourselves (Sit, Down, Wait, Up, Free, Spin) using positive reinforcement. See Video 1 for an example. Oso has had high reactivity toward other dogs, which we made very clear was something he needed training on. The trainers kept saying that he likes to "pick fights" with other dogs. I understand Oso has a big bark, but he has never once been aggressive toward another dog. We understand aggression can occur, and I'm not a dog trainer, so if that's what you call "picking fights," so be it. (See Video 2 for an example.) In Video 2, you can also see two trainers come together to talk about Oso's dewclaw. They didn't even know what it was called and referred to it as "weird," which I took offense to. Keep this dewclaw in mind, because that story isn't over. Communication overall was poor. For $2,000, I would expect, at minimum, pictures or videos every day. Mind you, when Oso was home, I had a dog walker who walked him for 30 minutes every day and sent me multiple videos along with a map of where they went on their walk. With this company, the pictures we received were mostly just Oso sitting outside on their dirt patches. We received two videos of Oso on the dog treadmill, with no explanation until I asked how long he was on the treadmill for. I felt like I constantly had to ask for information, and if I didn't ask, it wasn't a priority. Oso also came home with what looks like pimples on the inside of his mouth (see image). He did not have these prior to going there, as I am very conscious of everything regarding his health and appearance. The facility may not have noticed this, but I believe they would not take responsibility for it. I'd love to hear the excuse they would give: "These things happen." On the last day of his training (go-home day), we were already struggling to make the appointment because my husband and I are both active-duty military and can't just leave work. My husband received a call that Oso was receiving his bath, and during his blow-dry session, his dewclaw got caught in the grate and RIPPED OUT. I can't imagine the pain he was in. They took him to a local pet hospital, which didn't even see him until SIX hours after his initial arrival. After many attempts to get in touch with them regarding payment, Matan finally called and said he would cover it and that "things like this happen." I would love to see the camera surveillance and a written report of what happened. I can only imagine what the excuse will be as to why I'm not able to receive these from Matan. Oso is home with us now and recovering. We are extremely dissatisfied and honestly can't forgive ourselves for giving this company $2,000 for this treatment. Matan, to make this right, a refund is due--or at least half. We should have known we made a mistake when we paid first and then signed the contract stating refunds are not given. You were so personable and reassuring over the phone before booking, which unfortunately fooled us. Never will Oso or any of us be near this company again. I hope this review helps other responsible dog owners think twice before choosing this company

Before enrolling, I asked if I could attend one session to see if it was a good fit, especially since I was concerned my puppy might experience car sickness. I was told I had to purchase a package. Although it was $499, I enrolled because I'm committed to training my dog as early as possible. On our first day, we were informed that because only three puppies were present, the full 50-minute session (which I had already paid for) could not be conducted due to "corporate rules," and class was reduced to 30 minutes. That was disappointing, but I chose to give it a chance. Unfortunately, my puppy did get car sick on the drive despite not eating beforehand. After the 40-mile round trip, it became clear she cannot tolerate the commute. Given that reality, I contacted Zoom Room a few days later to withdraw and request a refund. I was again told "corporate rules" prohibit refunds. The suggestion was to suspend my account and resume later if my puppy outgrows the car sickness. However, I need training now, while she is young and manageable -- not months from now when she's much larger. This wasn't a case of changing my mind or being dissatisfied with the trainer or facility. It was simply an inability to physically use the service. I was disappointed that there was no flexibility for extenuating circumstances. If you're considering enrolling, I strongly recommend reading the refund policy carefully before committing.

We spent over $1,000 hoping to improve our dogs' reactivity issues. We followed the homework that was given to us, stayed consistent, and while there was some minor progress, we eventually hit a wall. The BAH method is the foundation of their training approach, and while it might work for others, it just didn't lead to the results we needed unfortunately. What made it more disappointing for us is that even though the company offers lifetime support, it didn't feel like there was anything drastically new or helpful to move us forward after a certain point. Again, I commend for the trainer for trying his best and truly caring, but we hit a wall. We were basically told we were doing everything right, but the problem still wasn't getting better. This review isn't meant to discredit the trainer or the business. I'm sure he's helped many other clients successfully. Unfortunately, in our case, it didn't live up to expectations given the cost and the goals we had. Sidenote: I'm not looking for a debate or follow-up--just sharing my personal experience in case it helps someone else make an informed decision.
