    I came here to say what a fantastic experience I have had at the Mechanicsville, VA store with…read moretraining with Sandy Y. I wish I had known about her before because with other private trainers and other dogs, I have not had such a positive training or behavior outcome. Her patience, knowledge, and reward-based system have been great for my 2 dogs. In the last 3 years, we've taken six of her classes. My adult rescue dogs had no prior training and the lab has sailed through the 5 classes we signed up for. The pure mutt, who is a nervous nellie, is a permanent beginner but has come a LONG way with Sandy, and the socialization has really boosted her confidence. Sandy has helped us purchase the proper dietary supplements and training tools we needed all along the way. Your trainer is available to her students even out of class and has answered my questions cheerfully and readily via text many times. Sandy Y has enriched my life and my dogs' life and I am grateful for her.

Everyone inside was extremely friendly and the location was very clean. When I arrived at the counter, the cashier informed me that they offered price match. He had overheard me talking in the store with my friend about my chewy package being delayed. It honestly made my day and I will definitely return just for the price match.

    First time using PetSmart since I moved to Richmond. My boy was looking really rough! I was injured…read morea few months back and still recovering from surgery. His coat blew in the middle of all of this and I couldn't get him in while on crutches and had no one to take him. Aussie shepherd, 13 years old and deaf. I've had him most of his adult life but he can be reactive. He had some matting under his legs that I couldn't get to in brushing. Serenity pulled him in and and he had no concerns with her she made sure she could relieve the matting before I left and she succeeded! He looked comfortable with her and I felt okay leaving. To be honest even though we had to fully remove his coat he came home looking great and he wasn't at all stressed!

    I brought my dog in for her first grooming appointment and had a very disappointing experience…read more When I arrived, the young lady at the front desk told me they couldn't take my dog because her hair was matted. She then said my dog might need to be put to sleep just to get her hair cut and suggested I take her to a vet to be shaved and checked for sores. She also mentioned that the noise and other dogs might scare her. After leaving, I called multiple groomers and veterinary grooming services. Every single one told me that sedation was not necessary at all. The only issue was availability--they were booked. Petco was able to get her in this Friday and said they would simply shave her down, no extreme measures needed. I truly feel they just didn't want to deal with my dog. The information I was given was not only incorrect but caused unnecessary stress. Considering I paid for a grooming service that they refused to even attempt, I would like a refund. I cannot recommend this place based on my experience.

    I took my little furbaby here for her first haircut (since she's been with us and fully adopted)…read more I made an appointment online and was assigned Ashley as Sadie's groomer. Ashley was great when we first came there to sign the papers, show the shot papers, and pretty much confirming that I was completely fine with her shaving off everything. My dog was a stray puppy that we ended up fostering and fully adopting...she was super matted to a point where my friend and I had been calling her a guy until confirmed by a vet. I knew what I was signing up for. I feel so bad because I dropped off my dog to have her haircut but only made it to the Starbuck's across the street before I received a phone call from Ashley saying that Sadie was starting to get snippy with her when it came to the face area. I came right back to pick Sadie up, where I brought back home a lion instead. I don't mean to LOL, but you would've done the same thing if you saw what I saw...and no, I will not post a picture of the poor fellow. Anyways, Ashley was very professional and informed me of what to prepare for in this situation. I just felt so bad that the outcome and can totally imagine the number of people in the parking lot seeing me bring this lion back to my car. Although the haircut/grooming was not successful, I do plan on coming back here when I'm low on my dog food supply and/or whatever dogs needs. Maybe come back after I have trained Sadie to get familiar with grooming around her face area. I loved Ashley's honesty and honest work. I just feel bad that she handle Sadie's first grooming experience. (Was able to find another groomer who was able to spend more time with my little furbaby when it came to grooming. Sadly, she is no longer a lion and actually looks like a dog now haha.)

    We are traveling across the country and our little schnauzer Zoe needed a haircut and a bath…read more Briii did a great job grooming Zoe! She cut her hair just as I requested. Would highly recommend Petsmart if you are traveling near Richmond, VA.

The staff is really friendly here, and much more knowledgeable than the young kids that work at chain stores like PetSmart and Petco. They stock a lot of specialty products that you can't find anywhere else. I shop for my dogs and cats, and always pick up a special treat at the gourmet bakery here. They also have tons of fish and aquarium stuff if you're into that. It's not always cheaper than the big-box pet stores or grocery store, but they do have coupons and specials on their website.

My wife and I came in to check out there aquatic section and boy howdy was this place a wreck. Tank after tank had lethargic fish, with the majority also having dead fish thrown into the mix as well. All the displays were dirty, and even the products on the shelves had layers of dust. By far the worst part was when I brought my wife over to see the hissing cockroaches. It wasn't so much a tank of hissing cockroaches, so much as a tank of hissing cockroach PARTS. On top of that the entire bedding was alive with some kind of writhing, maggot looking worms, and there even seemed to be a giant black window spider ticked away in the back corner. I give this location a rating of sad and embarrassing.
