I had a very distressing experience at Nestor's Aquarium and Pets on St. James Street in Winnipeg…read moreon March 19, 2026 at approximately 12:15 p.m. During my visit, I observed multiple tanks toward the back of the store (approximately 7-8 tanks in a row) in extremely poor condition. These tanks appeared dirty, with debris floating in the water and no visible labeling for the fish inside. In one of these tanks, there was a dead fish at the bottom, another dead fish partially lodged in a hide, and a live fish lying there gasping for air and clearly in distress. After I brought this to staff attention, a male staff member did remove the distressed fish; however, it was handled abruptly and placed into another tank that also appeared dirty and poorly maintained. The remaining tanks in that row were not addressed. At the front of the store, tanks appeared cleaner, but I also observed multiple large fish kept in a tank that seemed far too small for their size and number. When I calmly raised my concerns, a female staff member (who appeared to be an owner or manager) became hostile. She repeatedly told me she was not my employee, questioned who I was and what authority I had, and raised her voice while dismissing the concerns entirely. I was laughed at and told to leave the store. I even offered to purchase the distressed fish to ensure it received proper care, but that was dismissed. This experience was upsetting not only because of the visible conditions, but because of the lack of accountability and professionalism shown. Animals in a retail environment are still living beings and require consistent care across all tanks--not just those visible at the front. I left feeling shaken and saddened for the animals.

Disappointed and heartbroken -- zero accountability from the store…read more I purchased some driftwood from this store for my aquarium, and the next morning I found six of my fish dead. All my poor fish were gasping at the surface, desperately trying to breathe. I went back to the store calmly, just to let them know what had happened -- not to ask for money, neither for the dead fish nor for the product. I simply wanted to inform them. At first, a woman asked if my water had turned brown -- I said yes, it became extremely dirty overnight, even though my tank is normally crystal clear. Then a man stepped in and immediately began blaming me: he said I must have overfed my fish, used the wrong substrate, had a bad filter, or washed it under tap water -- none of which is true. They both started speaking to me in an agitated, defensive tone, while I remained polite the whole time. Again -- I wasn't demanding any refund. I didn't ask for a single dollar. I just showed them what had happened. I told them I use premium filter media and substrate and that I take good care of my aquarium. Then they made a ridiculous "offer": to put the same wood in their own tank and if all their fish die, then I would be right. That's absurd for many reasons -- first, I don't trust them to be honest about the outcome. Second, I live far away and don't have time to waste so they can lie to my face. Third, not all of my fish died -- mostly the delicate neon tetras. And most importantly, the wood already leached all its toxins into my tank. Their experiment wouldn't prove anything. People here say the staff is nice -- sure, they smile while taking your money. But when something goes wrong, they couldn't care less. They can't even acknowledge responsibility. They behaved like teenagers caught with cigarettes claiming, "They're not mine." It's shameful. P.S. ChatGPT told me I should have boiled and soaked the wood for weeks before putting it in the tank. Why didn't these so-called "experts" mention this when selling it to me? Simple -- they don't care what happens to your tank after they've got your money

My only complaint is that when the lady who usually runs the cash register is helping you find something in the store, she will suddenly ask another customer what they are looking for even though she isn't done helping you yet. I've been in the situation where I was the person being helped and she decided to help someone else and I've been the person who has been waiting patiently while she helps someone else and they've been interrupted while she asks me what I'm looking for. Aside from this one thing, though, wonderful place and I recommend going there.

I have only written one other negative review like this in my life…read more I called this Petsmart location on Monday to book an appointment for Tuesday. I gave the employee innthe grooming area the name of my brother's dog and she pulled it up. She mentioned that the dog's rabies vaccine had expired in July. I said that it was just for a nail trim, and she said that it would be fine if it was just for that. We booked a time and then at the end of the call, I asked again if it was definitely OK with the rabies expired. She repeated that yes, it was OK if it was just for nail trimming.  I showed up at the time of the appointment and she brought up the dog's profile on the screen. She pointed to the expired rabies vaccine and I acknowledged it. I said something like "yes, we talked about it yesterday." She said that she remembered talking to me, but that they could not do the nail trim. I looked at her probably a bit bewildered and reminded her of exactly what she had told me twice the day before. She said something like I must have misunderstood, and smiled. I reminded her of exactly what she had told me and asked her to please trim my brother's dog's nails. She went and got the manager, Thea, who was of no help either. She just repeated the word "policy" a few times, even though I explained the situation. By this time, I was quite annoyed, and let them know. None of our family or friends will be going back there and we have found a far better place for dog grooming since then.

Just left Pet smart on empress street from one of the worst experiences in customer service I ever…read moreencountered . I Was to take my dogs to a groomer today.2 groomers actually ,2 dogs I Had the appointments booked weeks ago ( had to reschedule once ( the groomers did ) because they couldn't accommodate 2 dogs at once on the other appointment date but today's would be fine. On arrival groomer ( Carolyn quite unfriendly, looking for ways not to be accommodating ) greeted me. She immediately asked about shots ( this had been previously verified it was our 4 th visit. after she verified the shots were all up to date with my vet . she informed me prior to calling if she couldnget the records now she would refuse service.) This was my 4 th time there! Following luckily reaching my vets office on a Sunday afternoon she informs me unless I can pick the one boxeriish mix dog right after service she would refuse service ( reactive breed ) this is why I was booked this day in the first place! The long haired northern rescue needed more time( about an hour )and I didn't want to come back 2 x an hour apart because I live about 40 minutes away! I then refused the service and told her I'd like to speak with the store mgr prior to leaving. ( I'm really not a Karen!but a rant about dogs and spas does beg the question ) So instead of allowing that she goes in the office with the mgr for about 5 minutes alone and closes the door while I was waiting outside the door! By now my boxer is getting LOUD !! and excited. So they wouldn't come from the office in a timely fashion so I told the clerk what had happened and asked for the general mgrs name and left , by now my dogs are reactive ++. So of course, Murphy's law ,they see another dogapproaching the store and they start barking and pulling. ++. I normally would bring them out one at a time but I was too hot to leave alone even for a few minutes (36c) They pull me over and drag me a bit in the parking lot . Right in front of the store doors I hadn't even gotten off the curb .Acouple of people helped me but (I always had a hold of the dogs ) . By now that mgr I only wanted to talk to was standing on the curb with what looked like a a smirk! With her arms crossed. ! I got up went to my car a few feet away and the dogs settled immediately. What I found especially disappointing was the mgr on duty didn't even bother to come 6 feet away to make sure I was ok! She was standing there watching the whole thing. I ended up with a skinned gravelled elbow ., scraped shin and cut finger Heartless folks . Wouldn't let them near my dogs again. There was one store customer who saw iwhat happened and came to the car to offer a first aid kit ( I was ok)that was very kind. I'll never give them my business again as a organization.
