Large pet store. Came here to buy dog treat since I'm meeting with a friend who has a dog. I don't have any pets. This feels like a large pet store with many varieties of products for various pets. Interior feels a bit outdated, not modern, and felt like interior was dim. Maybe the shelves are tall, maybe it's darker because of that. I wanted to buy dog treat but it's scattered in different aisles. I saw some at the front of the store, in the middle of the aisle, and down the aisles. I like how the aisles tell you which pet the products are for (i.e. dog, cat, etc). But would like similar products together. Petsmart also has a pet hospital inside which is super nice. read more

I was able to find what I needed for my dog. I bought a leash and some dog treats. It looks like the store is undergoing some internal renovations. The live, fish selection is so smaller than it used to be. The place needs to be re-organized as it seems to be a bit of a mess on the inside. I've been coming to this location for years, but I think I have never done a Yelp review on this location it definitely needs a facelift. read more

Boarded my Pomeranian and Chihuahua here for the first time ever. We have never spent more than 24 hours apart since I got both of them. I was so nervous, but I was going on a trip. The receptionist had really good energy and the staff members felt friendly and welcoming. I trust that they took good care of my pets and had no reason to think otherwise. Thank you so much!! we will be back read more

Hanna, who works in the Pet hotel area is probably the most awesome employee I've ever encountered at a business. She goes above and beyond what is required of her and is always willing to assist her customers with whatever they need. She has helped me buy and adjust harnesses for my dog, which is no easy task to do. I hope that she gets a promotion soon!!! she is an invaluable part of the staff!!! read more

I took my two dogs to the PetSmart in Torrance for grooming a month ago and will never go back. Both dogs came out with the worst grooming job I have ever encountered. I brought with me a written list of what I wanted done/not done and went over it with the person at the desk but those requests were either ignored or followed haphazardly and both dogs came out with hair of uneven lengths everywhere on their bodies and in some places there was no hair at all. I would not recommend anyone use their grooming facilities. read more

I made a reservation for my cat to stay while I go on a weeklong trip. I even came to drop off copies of her vaccination and rabies certificate. The day I am to leave for the airport I brought her in the afternoon. Luckily my flight is in the evening. Staff brought her back to me and rejected her bcuz my cat hissed and tried to scratch or bite her, she said. I told staff that this is her first time to be boarded there. She's been boarded before and the staff there enjoyed her and loved playing with her. I said she's very nervous bcuz it's a new place and she could see the dogs in their playroom. Luckily, I remember the owner of the pet grooming store also watches pets at his home. He calmly spoke to her and let her inside one of the cat apartment. My cat walked right in. It seems the staff at PetSmart really doesn't know how to handle pets, especially how to calm them down. They referred me to some vets offices that supposedly provide pet boarding. I called 2: neither one provides pet boarding. . read more

update - had a worse experience after boarding our dog here. we called for updates daily but wasn't given much. we paid extra for him to have an upgraded room too. when he came home, he had so many issues like coughing fits and visible neck pain (seemed like they were just yanking him around and being very rough with our small dog when he was walked). he was visibly stressed and diagnosed with a heart condition shortly after, which was never an issue before and led to an expensive echocardiogram with a specialist next. he is getting older now and it breaks my heart to know he wasn't treated well. i'm still in the market for more dog training classes (he's had training since he was a puppy but we just wanted a refresher) but after the experiences above, we may look at a different location or outside of PetSmart completely. we do regularly still get him groomed at a different location closer to family, but this has left a really bad taste. looking quickly at other reviews it looks like others have had a disappointing experience at this pet hotel/location too. *** came here to ask about their pet hotel and their dog training classes which i was having trouble booking online. since their trainer isn't in, they said they will give a call back. no problem... so we redeemed my rewards for dog treats to make the trip worthwhile. the dog treats were a dollar thirty each, and my rewards were $2.50 so the total for both costs about thirty cents with tax. the cashier Clara rang up the wrong items, and scanned my rewards twice but didn't make sure it went through, charging us about 8 bucks! she charged $2 and $4 for the two treats that were a dollar each. thankfully we noticed before leaving so we asked for it to be corrected. instead of a refund she gave us merchandise credit. obviously we are going to be spending hundreds of dollars for the pet training and hotel here, so it's not the money but the carelessness that's annoying. hoping they take better care of our fur baby here. read more

Every time my dog comes here for a stay she comes back with fleas. Keep your dog/cat away from this place.

We had a very disappointing experience at the PetSmart Hotel AGAIN after trying to give it another shot. We made a reservation for July 4th, with plans to pick up our beagles on July 5th. One of our dogs gets extremely carsick, so we rely on local boarding--and PetSmart is only about a mile from home, making it a convenient and low-stress option for our pup. Unfortunately, the on-site manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. She refused to accept our up-to-date vaccination records, claiming the expiration dates "weren't listed," even though the official stickers from our vet clearly state the expiration dates. She kept repeating that we shouldn't "go by the sticker," which makes no sense considering every other daycare, dog training facility, and even the Wag Hotel in Carson had accepted the same paperwork without issue. Because of this manager's poor attitude and lack of knowledge, our holiday travel plans were completely ruined. She showed zero compassion for our situation and didn't even try to find a solution. We won't be returning, even to give it another chance. I'd suggest PetSmart review how they train their staff on reviewing vaccination records and really work on their customer service. This experience was unnecessarily stressful and extremely disappointing. read more

Oh PetSmart, please can you have better service?? PetSmart usually has stock on most foods and items, which is great. You will search online and it will say "put in an order and most orders are available for pick up within 2 hours", but this 2 hours thing has never worked for me. Don't fall for it. It sounds attractive since the line is usually long and depressing, not sure why they don't have more cashiers. But the online order seems to go into oblivion, with no communication about what's happening, until you finally find it somewhere else or buy it in person, then you have to cancel the online order. Also, I realized that when you walk in, the various pet food companies have representatives that you think are PetSmart employees because they're saying, "Can I help you find something?", but they're like the sharks at a car dealership parking lot. They will direct you toward the brand of food that they're representing. So pay close attention to who you're asking questions if you want a neutral response vs. a biased response. But, like I said, they do have lots of variety and things in stock, which means you have a good chance of finding what you're looking for. I just wish they could be top notch with their customer service at the cash register. A line of 8-10 people is no fun. read more

Not sure why it this place doesn't get a higher rating, we really like it. We just got a little puppy and this is the go to place for us. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The store is well stocked, clean, and spacious. In addition to the retail space, they also have grooming, training, pet hotel, and pet hospital! Tip: the grooming folks recommended us to get the Puppy Guide, it was $20 (in a locked storage that you need to ask them to get for you), and it has all kinds of coupons and free services. We started saving with things we needed right away. Parking: never a problem, easy access on both Hawthorn and Sepulveda. The Petsmart on PCH is pretty good, also, but much smaller and depending on where you live, it's a little harder to get in and out. read more

This is a review for the pet training classes run by Brittany instore. My daughter and I have been taking our crazy Maltese puppy Mayhem to the intro class and Brittany has been wonderful helping us, trying to calm Mayhem down and pay attention and finally learn something! Brittany is very calm, professional and helpful around both dogs and owners and she makes the classes really enjoyable. There is always laughter. Brittany is also a fount of knowledge when it comes to anything to do with our canine friends, and she has some great ideas which work with a barking, mouthing, on leash terror like ours. We are so glad we found Brittany and will continue to attend classes as this store, and definitely 100% recommend them if your fur baby needs to learn some good manners. Thanks Brittany, you are a star :) read more

My 80 pound puppy played a little too hard in doggy day camp and got a small injury. The staff was SPECTACULAR! They called me immediately, took him to the in-store vet for treatment. There was no charge for the treatment Or the day camp session. The staff couldn't have been more responsive and empathetic. They have my business for life! Thank you Petsmart day camp staff! read more

Just sending praise for Brittany Beebe the dog trainer. While this store is maybe a 4, Brittany is a 5. I've taken basic to advanced classes, Brain Games, some private lessons with her (despite their booking system being weird and confusing, even to other employees who have messed up the booking...), and am looking forward to the therapy class. We've learned so much with Brittany, and she even allowed me to bring a friend who had been helping with my training to help manage her in class (my pup is over 90 pounds). She's super helpful out of class too. Several times now while doing our pup homework outside, people have mistaken ME for a dog trainer, but I send them to Petsmart and Brittany. I'm still learning a lot, but I wanted to make sure Brittany is getting her dues and that people know there's a good, affordable, local trainer they can use. read more

I was harassed IN STORE here on Wednesday 04/23 by another customer. It was very obvious that she was in my face and NONE OF THE EMPLOYEES bothered to remove this lady from the store. I told one employee I was just harassed she signed out of annoyance and with zero empathy said "sorry that happened to you." The only one defending me was another customer. read more

Hubbers and I were down the street post movie date at AMC in Del Amo and he suggested stopping by to see if we can get ice cream for our pup. (He had been suggesting this for a few days.) Since it was convenient, we dropped by. We walked in and immediately noticed a long line to check out. Since we weren't in the market for anything else, I told him I would go ahead and get in line while he hunts for the treat. We haven't been here before so we wouldn't know where their freezers are, but they were pretty easy to locate. Sadly, they didn't have any. But I did take some time to look around anyway just in case we find anything else we might wanna get for our fur baby. Sadly for the second time, we couldn't find anything we wanted within a reasonable price: everything is a little pricey here! We noticed there was only one cashier at checkout which explains the really long line. We walked out empty handed. Not sure if there'd be a second visit given it's a little out of the way from home. Good to know it's here, though, just in case. read more

I had an offer here to bring my dog for day care, so I took the offer thinking they really cared for our dogs the way they claim to do. The store was clean but when a dog potties on the floor, they don't clean it right away even if they have time to do it. The day care has urine everywhere too, and my dog came home with worms in her feces, so that ran me a lengthy tab at the vet's, on top if paying for day care. They gave no reimbursement or even an apology. They just said "it is what it is", even after they scrutinized my dog's health record to make sure she was up to date on vaccinations so she wouldn't get other dogs sick. I want to know why they spent time doing that to my dog's health record but not other peoples dogs and my dog came home smelling like a ZOO every single time. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOGS HERE! read more

Disappointed in their grooming abilities. I won't be back. The staff was nice, but their grooming skills are extremely disappointing.

I've brought my furbaby here a couple of times now, both for a week or more of boarding. + quick check-in, especially if you have all the paperwork filled out/uptodate vaccine records on hand + no holiday (i.e. higher) pricing + offer individualized play (for an added fee) + can use Treat points toward payment + can cancel reservation anytime, no fee - lack of communication (see below) - not 24/7 pickup, they close at 9p on weekdays and I think earlier on weekends - no free bath, regardless of duration of stay - can't modify reservations on app, and any modifications made thru a phone call do not translate into the app - there are some inconsistencies across employees -- some will store leash/collar, some will accept a food cup, others will not. These inconsistencies was an issue during my pup's most recent stay. I have a specific measuring cup I use that I was willing to leave for their use (and they had previously used), but the lady who checked me in wouldn't accept it, and wrote 1.5cup/feed instead of 1.125cup/feed in the system. So they were overfeeding, and then ran out of food (I always send enough for at least 4-6 extra meals), but didn't alert me until I called to extend the stay. At that point, they checked to see if they had enough food to feed during the extension and that's the first time I heard they had run out of food, likely because they had been overfeeding. Thankfully my dog generally handles transitions in food well and isn't on a special diet, but they didn't know that! They could've provided a substitution that could've made him sick. Because of the overfeeding, the lady I spoke with said they would waive the fee ($1/feed) for the extra food, which I appreciated. But when I picked him up, there was nothing in the notes indicating she promised to waive the fees. And when I caught this on the bill, they were going to charge me for all feeds for the whole time (2 × the number of days he was there), not just the meals after they ran out of his food. This place is far for me, but I boarded here because I had used previous PetHotel in another city. At this point, I'll likely look for another place closer to home. read more

Krystle, the floor manager, is not only incredibly rude and unwilling to help customers. But she also treats other employees as if their roles are beneath her and she couldn't be bothered to engage in such menial tasks. This is not only extremely unprofessional but it is horrible leadership. In fact, there is nothing leader-like about this perspective. However, I would like to acknowledge an amazing staff member- Tran. Not sure about the spelling of his name, sorry He greeted me. Heard my complaints and concerns about his manager. Apologized on her behalf. He went above and beyond to help me check on a products inventory, he called other locations, he assisted me to the checkout counter. He engaged in friendly conversation and helped me problem solve some questions and concerns regarding the cameras I was purchasing, there use and some how-to's. And he was incredibly kind and respectful the WHOLE entire time. He even came back over and assisted when there was an issue with the way the items were ringing up at checkout. THAT is leadership. Tran should be the manager of this location. As I've worked throughout my career studying leadership and training other leaders- statistics and people data consistently shows that people don't quit jobs- they quit poor leadership. I hope a leadership opportunity is in short reach for Tran. And most importantly I hope that upper level Pet Smart management is realizing who has the real leadership skills in this location. Tran even had great rapport with othe team members at other locations. Team Tran all the way!!! read more

The shelves are empty even though the quantity online says the product is here. The lights on the building haven't been replaced in a year at least. It's very dark in the parking area and the building is by itself. The store on the corner, Hobby Lobby has plenty of lighting so I can't blame it on the property itself. The management needs to find a ladder and replace the lights. I just asked an employee as I picked up my order why the lights haven't been fixed, especially when people are getting robbed so often. The young man said he's worked here 12 years and that they've been replaced but they keep going out. I walked him out to show him the entire front walkway lights are burned out and the fixtures on the walls. He said oh ya, we'll get on that. It's just very dark and dangerous here. I will go down the street to another store. Be careful if you shop here. read more

I come here for supplies and food for my kitten. I like it because everything is so easy to find. I found his food and litter today in less than five minutes. (Thanks, Leo!) HOWEVER, standing in line to check out for 41 minutes is not cool and is usually the norm for this store. The line to checkout ran alllll the way down the middle of the store because only one register was open, again as per usual. This PetSmart would get five stars if any five minute trip didn't last an extra 40 just to check out. Stuffs easy to find, staff is cool and knowledgeable, no complaints there. Shouldn't have to wait 41 minutes to be able to pay and leave. read more

I have been a member for this Petsmart Store and my store was the one located at the corner of Hawthorne Blvd and Sepulveda Ave in Torrance, CA. Saw in the offers I receive on e mail a cat furniture/tower for the advertised price of $169.00 It is a tall piece of furniture 78 inches tall, imposible to feed into my car. So I called asking for delivery, I live close to the store, within 2 miles. The staff including the store manager told me there was no delivery available. I explained nobody unless an owner of a big truck or delivery van could transport said cat tower. He repeated his statement, no delivery. Then I asked, could it be disassembled ? He said "no" Then I asked , could the manufacturer deliver one to my residence upon bringing more of these items to your store ? He said "no" in a very unhelpful and useless manner, so this store was selling 6 ft cat towers impossible to disassemble, with no possibility of delivery ! I voiced my disappointment. I just saw an offer for the same item by PETCO. PETCO indeed offered delivery , while PETSMART in Torrance within the neighborhood refuses to offer delivery for such a cumbersome item to transport ! I hope that Petsmart pet chain top management staff reads this comment and talks to these bad managers that scare away customers and destroy a carefully built store reputation by acting boorishly and doing things like this. The attempt at purchasing the cat tower happened early in the month of May 2023. I am writing this comment today Tuesday May 23 2023 at 11:47 am. This Saturday May 27 2023 PETCO did deliver this same cat tower to my place, and it came in a box all disassembled. Incredible how come store manager at PETSMART in Torrance, California told me the cat tower "COULD NOT BE DISASSEMBLED" aside from telling me there was no delivery available ! PETCO is a company that considers its customers and helps them out getting the items purchased, while PETSMART treats customers very bad, telling them to get lost !

Hello. I am the daughter. Our dog has gotten a horrible hair cut. The fur is so uneven and not even close to straight. They cut it super short when we just asked for a trim.
