    Very Helpful, friendly employees. Petsmart lost our Buisness permanently due to an extremely rude Vet that didn't know how to deal with our orange Cat.

    Horrible customer service!! The woman with the blue green hair is extremely rude and talks down to you. I have had several bad experiences with her she is just extremely rude for no apparent reason at all. Won’t be coming back.

    I mainly go there for my aquarium supplies since the other big chain store down the highway seems to have gone downhill in my opinion with the live fish selection and knowledge. The employees are always friendly and I used to be a regular however the only issue I have is “Walkers” aka loss prevention. Granted I understand why stores have them but please be more discreet. I spotted the “employee” the second I got out of my truck. They followed me into the store and track me throughout my experience in the store acting like a customer. This individual followed me for over an hour throughout the store and kept watching me. I spend quite some time watching the fish to ensure they are as healthy as possible before I make a purchase. During this time the “associate” measured the same tank with a tape measure 4 times and never spoke to me when I spoke to them. After I purchased what I wanted the “customer” walked out in front of me and sat in their vehicle and never left. Please understand I am a honest person but please focus attention where it is needed as in the treat bar up front with no employees at the registers and not focusing on a person that is looking for an aquarium and supplies. I do not have the energy to try and steal a 75 gallon aquarium and a canister filter. I literally needed a flat cart to take my items to my vehicle after waiting for someone to come to the register to ring me up. Chock it up to a rookie loss prevention employee but that was awkward and annoying however I did wave at the associate as I left with a truck bed full of purchased items. Petco please don’t make it so obvious and awkward for customers.
