    Before grooming
    Ashley F.

    Runnnnnnnn! Do not take your pet for grooming here ever!!!! I had the worst experience took my maltipoo and they shaved him down so bad and left him with bald spot patches and left all the hair on his face they didn't want to continue maybe it was for the best but I cannot believe they left him the way they did and still had the nerve to charge me

    I wanted to get my dog some obedience training so I asked Dr. Bory @petvets, his advice is highly regarded. We were told that Barbie at Upland PetSmart is a phenomenal trainer and great person. We have attended beginner and intermediate classes with Barbie and our experience has been awesome. Barbie creates classes that are personable and pay attention to each individual's needs, dogs and people alike. Our dog has anxiety issues and we have made big strides thanks to Barbie's expertise, we had become discouraged prior to Barbie's classes. We quickly understood why Barbie had been so highly recommended. Great person, casual atmosphere, obvious expertise and all around positive and professional experience. We also saw how Barbie is a presence in the operation of the whole store, she would be a valuable asset as a manager for PetSmart. Big thanks to Dr Bory for the recommendation and bigger thanks to Barbie!

    We have been bringing our dogs here for a while now. The initial problem arose when they refused to accommodate one of our dogs because she is handicapped. Though I did not agree, I accepted it. The most recent incident involved them calling us from a veterinary office because they accidentally injured my dog. Today, once again they cut my dog, the same issue occurred but no call this time, and I cannot comprehend their carelessness. Do you really think Petsmart cares about animals? I have no intention of returning to this place again.

    Was in this petsmart shopping around and saw this chinchilla, which looked so sad. They are not taking care of this animal properly as it had no water or food in its cage. I grew up with two chinchillas and know how to take care of them. They need to have a dust bowl to roll in for their fur/hygiene. The cage was filled with poop. Please if you're in this location say something to the workers, this is not okay. I tried speaking with someone there but they were a new employee and didn't have an answer for me. The store was very busy at the time I went. This is unacceptable for an animal

    This is my favorite pet store. I am an avid fish lover. I started off with my 75 gallon tank with the help of the wonderful staff of this particular PetSmart. I wish I could remember all the names but I promise to update this as soon as I find out all of the names starting off with Edward. The ladies were as knowledgeable and helpful too. I keep coming back for more that I really have to control myself or I'll end up over crowding my tankful of GloFish. :)

    I took both of my dogs to Petsmart Upland for training after reading great things about Barbie! She did not disappoint!! This girl has a magic formula for getting dogs to listen. Although I will never be as good as her, she always had a brilliant suggestion for any issue you have with your dog. Lucky is now 2 YO and is such a good boy! Lila is still a puppy but is pretty good too!

    Shar pei who's is according to expert jade, contagious. Bleh.

    I want to start off this review by stating my experience with the grooming department from this location, I was there bright and early Sunday morning and was poorly treated by a staff member in the grooming department by the name of Jade. I initially made contact with Jade in the grooming department while she was not busy with another customer or doing anything else, she set me aside not just once, but twice to help other customers who came in after I did. When another worker of the grooming department came in, she handed me off to him to finish checking in my Chinese shar pei. I was then told that my dogs eye boogers were contagious and would get other dogs sick, I told jade that my dog is not sick or contagious and that they were just eye boogers, you know the same eye boogers she herself would get after a late night of partying, anyways. She denied my dog of their grooming service and I went to another establishment. Quite simple. Don't go here for grooming services, they seem to only want to treat cute little doggies that wake up apparently according to her, pretty and not contagious. Go somewhere else. Jade, learn how to treat customers.

They both clearly love what they do, and it shows in every interaction. When I started, my 6 month old puppy struggles with really bad separation anxiety, anything loud terrified him and made him try to bolt away. I was feeling overwhelmed and completely discouraged that I was doing anything right with him. During our training journey had its challenges, especially correcting my bad training behaviors I was taught along time ago that weren't working. Chloe and Emily were there to guide and support me every step of the way and gave me updated tools that actually work! The one-on-one sessions and private lessons each week were beyond anything I could have imaged, so supportive and willing to spend the extra time in areas most dogs would have blazed through things, Odin needed the extra support for him to become more confident. I know now every dog moves at their own pace and you need to be patient. My training journey isn't over with Odin and glad you guys are apart of mine and Odin's journey. Can't wait until I can eventually show off Odin once he becomes a service dog and let everyone know who helped me get there. Thank you from Odin and Me! See you all later! Rooted Dog Training exceeded our expectations.

Emily is equally wonderful--warm, compassionate, and supportive throughout the entire process. They both clearly love what they do, and it shows in every interaction. When I started, my almost 3-year-old pug mix, Fifi, struggled with barking, reactivity, separation anxiety, and had no reliable recall or response to commands. I was feeling overwhelmed, and even being at home had become stressful. While the training journey had its challenges, especially as a first-time dog owner with no prior experience, Chloe and Emily were there to guide and support me every step of the way. Their patience and encouragement gave me the confidence to keep learning alongside Fifi. The one-on-one sessions each week were invaluable, giving me the opportunity to receive real-time feedback in a supportive, judgment-free environment. The improvement in Fifi has been amazing. She's so much calmer, listens to commands, and we can finally take her out without worrying she'll bark at every person we pass. We actually enjoy our walks now, and even life at home is so much more relaxed. I can't thank Chloe and Emily enough for giving me the tools and confidence to help Fifi thrive. Rooted Dog Training exceeded our expectations.

    We have waited wayyyy too long to post this review and I can confidently say even after 6 months…read moretraining has stuck with my pups! Our pug Boba, who is 6 years old, had a huge issue with barking and reactivity. Before training, anytime there was a loud noise, another dog, or even a person just a few feet away from us, he would immediately start barking and getting worked up to the point where he would do that pug scream, and no amount of reassuring would help. Walks were stressful and we constantly felt on edge trying to manage his reactions. Working with Yasin made such a difference. He was incredibly patient and really took the time to explain why Boba was reacting the way he was and what we could do about it. Instead of just trying to stop the barking in the moment, he helped us understand how to work through the behavior step by step. Everything he taught us felt realistic and doable in everyday life, which made it so much easier to actually stick with. One of the biggest moments for us was when we took Boba and his sister with us on a trip to Joshua Tree. Before training, something like that would have been stressful and probably not even enjoyable. But because of everything we learned from Yasin, it ended up being such a pleasant vacation. At one point we even stood and ate at a restaurant for almost two hours with multiple dogs around us, some of them were even reactive, and Boba was such a model citizen the entire time. It honestly felt amazing to see the difference. Because of Yasin's training, we actually feel confident bringing our dogs on vacations now, which is something we never thought we'd be able to do. Boba is a completely different dog in the best way possible, and we also feel so much more confident as owners because we now have the tools to handle situations that used to feel overwhelming. If you have a reactive dog or feel overwhelmed with training, we definitely recommend working with Yasin. He really cares about the dogs and the owners, and it shows.

Blue was three years old when I adopted him from the shelter and had been there for two years, essentially his entire life. He had no formal training and several behavioral issues, and he was extremely reactive to other dogs. Yasin has been helpful and patient throughout the entire process. He has a positive attitude and genuinely cares about his clients and their dogs. I truly wish I had found him sooner. I will continue working with Yasin and Empire K9 Dog Training to help Blue for as long as needed.

    We've been going to that other "smart" store for over five years to have our dog's nails trimmed…read more Ever since, they've told us that we can just walk in and they will do the trim. The most we've ever had to wait is about 15 to 20 minutes. Today, was no different, walked in at 10:15a, let them know that we needed a nail trim, the associate said that the earliest they can get us in was not till 12 PM without an appointment. An appointment? I explained to them that in the five years we've been going to them for nail grinds (which is pretty frequent) we've never had to make an appointment. That's when she said that making appointment has always been in place. So, I walked out, came over to The Good Dog. The General Manager greeted us, even while working with another customer. Listening how he handled the other two customers in front of us (who appeared to be regulars) set the tone that this is a friendly place that we want to be a part of. You know, it's like "Cheers," you wanna go where everyone knows your name! Well, they were able to get us in right away. They advised we typically do not need to make an appointment for nail grind, but to simply call up to make sure they are not busy at the moment, otherwise can get in quickly. I think that's reasonable, fair enough AND smart! "Thanks, Good Dog!"

They offered medical wipes for my dog's injury and a complete re-grooming with a different groomer. I chose not to continue patronage, but the offer and continued open communication was very appreciated. Original Review: This is the first time I've been to this location and decided to go here due to the large number of good reviews. They were able to fit my appointment in very last minute, less than 24hrs notice, super friendly staff, and lots of merchandise. Also great cut options avaliable for someone new, trying to figure out what a new groomer can do with a new client. Asked them to brush his teeth and grind his nails, to which they accomplished (at least his breath smells better). With that said, I was told they would contact me 20 minutes before he's ready for pickup, they did not. They messaged me when he was done. No big deal. When I picked him up, immediately noticed the uneven cut job. As we're driving home, noticed A BUNCH of dirt left in his coat. Makes me question if they bathed him, and if they did, they didnt do a good thorough job. Also started to notice the uneven cut throughout his body, from his stomach where they left bunches of fur, to his back, which seemed as though they used two sizes for razors. They cut him (most likely by accident) but just reinforces my suspicion that they rushed through his entire "grooming". For the $100 package, counting $15 for dental/nail grinding, I can't say I'm not disappointed. Unfortunately, will not be coming back. Sincerely disappointed :( I will have to bathe him again, give him a complete haircut, and finish areas they didnt even attempt too, such as the hair under his nose going into his mouth.

Since he was a puppy, Rocky struggled with allergies and recurring skin issues that worsened over time, leading to multiple rounds of antibiotics that we later realized were hard on his gut.

Allie helped us take a more proactive approach, focusing on healing his gut and addressing the root causes instead of just managing symptoms. She always has thoughtful solutions and backup options to help manage flare-ups without immediately turning to antibiotics. I appreciate her insight so much during those times where we just want to give Rocky some relief. She's also educated us on raw feeding, ingredient quality, food processing, and supplements, which has been incredibly valuable.

When we started looking for a training program for Ruby last year, she was very dependent, anxious around other dogs, and struggled with listening to commands. Through a friend, we heard about Pack Pawsitive and were impressed with what was being taught here. When we were first introduced to the trainer Harmony, she was very kind and attentive and we knew she would make a difference in Ruby's learning experience. We loved reading through Ruby's report card at the end of each day and seeing what new things she learned! One of the best parts of Pack Pawsitive's programs is the digital resource library where we can refer to handouts and videos that throughly explained how we can continue to train Ruby at home. The in-person training sessions were also especially helpful, and Harmony was very insightful towards our questions and concerns. Seeing Ruby's growth week to week has been extremely rewarding and couldn't have been done without Harmony and the trainers at Pack Pawsitive. Ruby has become much more confident and focused, and has improved so much with socializing with other dogs. She learned new cues like recall, place, leave it, leash manners, and door manners which has made a great difference in our daily routines. With Ruby's newfound skills, we feel much more comfortable introducing her to new environments. Thank you to the team at Pack Pawsitive for providing a safe, caring, and of course positive learning environment for our pup!
