Then the sales people behind the desk at waukee seem to ask one guy all the questions. He seems overwhelmed. The last time I went in I told them it was so stressful I wasnt sure I would be back. Then I was told that the company-name-and image of original owners was sold and they were having issues with the computer system. So no longer a shop local store. So sad.

I'm not sure why all the reviews for this PetSmart are so terrible because I have only high praises…read morefor this location and the staff. Thankfully these reviews have not deterred people from coming here because they are always busy. The services I've used so far are: 1) Grooming- They have great groomers and they always take good care of my pup who is 3.5 pounds and can get squirmish when he gets his nails trimmed. I tried to do it myself and it was too difficult so I appreciate their staff doing it for me. They also were able to accommodate by request for a no scent shampoo for my pups bath. The yappy hours they offer at $5 off are the best! 2) Pet Training- Allison is a fantastic trainer. She taught the 6 week puppy class and she was so friendly, patient and understanding. My schedule made it difficult to attend all 6 sessions and she was so accommodating to reschedule us into a session so that we could continue the lessons without major disruption. The training also affords my pup extra opportunities to socialize and the extra distractions from the other pups help to put my dog in more of a real world environment where he has to learn to listen to me with distractions. In the puppy/beginner class we learned verbal and hand signal cues for: sit, focus, touch, click to calm, loose leash walk (lets go, this way), down (lay down), shake (or paw), sit-down-sit, sit-touch-halter, leave it, wait, come when called, greet when all feet are on the ground, and much more. The other trainer Lisa is super nice and always willing to give me feedback on how my pup did during the day at day care. 3) Petshotel- I needed to board my pup for 11 days. I called ahead of time to make sure I had all the required vaccinations before his stay. I like that they require vaccination of all the dogs that stay here. The staff here did a fantastic job with taking care of my pup. I was able to get photos of him during his stay since he was staying such a long time. One of the photos was nicely photographed and even displayed his name. I loved it so much I got it developed so I could post it on my wall. My pup never got kennel cough or any other viruses from staying at Petshotel I felt my dog was better behaved after his Petshotel stay because he was better socialized (with people), exhausted (from all the fun), and stopped his constant whining (which really bothered me but I couldn't figure out how to stop it). I would not hesitate to bring him to Petshotel again. 4) Doggie Day Camp- I was worried my dog was not getting enough socialization with people and other dogs. I didn't want him turning into a lap dog and have separation anxiety issues so I enrolled him in day camp. Again, I am glad that dogs that play here must be vaccinated. Day camp was one of the best decisions I've made because my dog is now really confident and isn't scared of other dogs. The staff here went out of their way to watch over my dog on his first day to make sure he adjusted well to the other dogs. He is not only a small breed dog but was the runt of his litter (at 3.5 pounds) and staff went above and beyond to ensure my pup had a good experience with the other small breed dogs. My pup excelled from this experience and had so much fun. He came back exhausted and more well mannered (in my opinion). I like how they can feed him lunch (with my food from home) while he is at camp so he is not starving throughout the day. I also really appreciate the late hours the day camp stays open so I don't need to rush over after work.

We came home and my dog ate his and the next day when I came home from work my dog had terrible diarrhea. I just figured that this would go away after it got out of his system but it did not. I had called the store to let them know that I felt they should take the remaining ones off of the shelf to prevent other dogs from becoming sick. The guy who answered the phone told one of the ladies who works there which I am assuming is a manager, that my dog was sick from the cake. I could hear her in the background say that is impossible there's nothing in those treats that can make a dog sick. I ended up having to take my dog to the vet and spend $140 there because he never got better.
