Worst customer service ever. They "lost" my puppy's vet records. My boyfriend called for a grooming and they requested her vet records, understandable. When he went in to drop her off, however, the staff claimed that they needed to keep the vet records overnight. As my boyfriend went to pick up our puppy's documents the following day, they said that they "threw it away" because they "do not keep any clutter on their desk overnight". Um, what in the hell just happened? Moving on, they confirmed that our puppy's vet records had been inputted into their system so we can just get our puppy groomed there all the time anytime at this specific Petsmart location. (Sounded a bit sketch to me, as if they purposely threw away the documents in order to force us into getting our puppy groomed there in the future.)
So I went in last Friday (01/25/2013) to get our puppy groomed but unfortunately I arrived 30 minutes late. When I walked in for my appointment, one of the groomers just yelled at me from across the room, "NO! You're 30 minutes late! I have no time for you! We're booked!" Sweetie, don't yell at your customers, I can hear you just fine. Personally, I thought it was silly that they couldn't squeeze in a quick puppy trim seeing as how they had been grooming other pets the entire 30 minutes I had originally booked my appointment on. You were still grooming other pets while I wasn't there so what does it matter if I was late? But bottom line, I didn't make my appointment in time so I'll give them that.
I did ask to speak with the manager, however, because I wanted to complain about the whole throwing away pet vet records issue. (My boyfriend didn't bother complaining 'cause he's just nice like that.) Chris, the manager, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. When I told him what had happened with my puppy's documents, he responded with "I don't know what you want us to do. There's nothing I can do for you." An apology would have been a nice start. He kept giving me this terrible attitude as if I was wasting his time and he just didn't care at all about dealing with customers. I told him it was irresponsible for them to ask for vet records and throw them away after they promised to keep it overnight, and (get this) he responded with "It is irresponsible, but not of us. The vet records are not our responsibility. If they're lost, that's the owner's fault. Ask your vet for a copy, they should have a copy." YOUR STAFF said they needed to keep it overnight and we trusted you with it, and now this is OUR fault? He pretty much implied that I was irresponsible for trusting Petsmart with our puppy's documents. If their staff is deliberately throwing away people's pet vet records, I can only imagine how careless they are with peoples' pets. They didn't even apologize, not once, for their actions.
Never going to this Petsmart ever again. It's located inconveniently far away from our home anyways, we only went there because we couldn't get our puppy groomed elsewhere (since they threw away our pet vet records and our vet is located even further away). Every company I worked for always stressed the importance of customer service so it's pretty aggravating to see that this Petsmart does not implement any need for polite and friendly customer service to their employees. Do not go here, you have been warned. They just don't care about you or your pets. read more
