PetSmart

I really love PetSmart because they have everything I need for my dog, hamsters, bettas, guppies and hermit crabs. When you have a lot of pets like I do, you have to be able to get their stuff in one place and have options to pick the best food for your pets. I believe PetSmart offers that to me and that’s why I continue to go.
To address the one review that said they do not accept bully dogs, I honestly have never seen there be a problem with bully breeds being turned away. I’d strikes me as odd that they would turn you and your dog away, but if they did, I’d really like to know what the reason was because they should not make blanket statements like that without a good reason. I have never owned a bully breed, but I’ve met many who are the calmest and loving dogs in the world. Hopefully, you resolved the issue and/​or found a place to go that accepts your dogs.
As for the prices, yeah they can be high, but if you know what you are looking for, you can sleep sound at night knowing that you’re giving your pets good food. I don’t think many people like big corporations, but the fact is, for me anyway, that PetSmart has everything for my pets in one place at a price that I believe is fair.
With those two points out of the way, the store is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. They all know where items are and are more than willing to help show you what you are looking for or explain the differences between the large selection of food and treats.
Overall, I like shopping at PetSmart and will continue to do so because I believe it offers the best selection for my pets. Your experience may differ and you may find that PetSmart isn’t the place for you and your pets, so take my review with a grain of salt, but for me, this is the place I will continue to shop at.

This store has a prejudice against Bully Breed Dogs. Soon as I realized that, I stopped going there and won’t be going back for any reason. They’re completely fine if you spend $ 100 a bag on food for your Bully breed, but try to bring him/​her to a class or a puppy socialization and they will ask you to leave. I told the manager that and he said, «Well if you like you can tell us which brand of food you normally purchase and someone will bring it up to the register while you keep your dog outside.» I couldn’t believe the nerve of that guy. Oh yea I’m still going to buy his food here even tho he’s not welcome in your store. I figure my money’s not welcome there either. If you are among the thousands of Bully lovers, spend your money where your pup is welcomed; not where he’s banned due to a stupid prejudice.

This is my local PetSmart. It’s pretty decent. They have a huge variety of dog food and dog beds. They also have massive aquariums and fish accessories. Their section for cats is a little smaller.
They have a Bansfield Vet office which is always packed. They also have their adoption section which isn’t that big. Not many animals there. When you walk in, they have the grooming area, decent size. There are always dogs getting groomed there.
Some people bring their pets to walk around the store while they shop, mostly puppies. I like that they have a training center. This PetSmart has almost everything you would need when getting a dog.
The staff is pretty friendly. For the holidays they hired a bunch of young teens who don’t know much but try to help the customers.
I’m not happy with the lack of selection in vitamins and doggie diapers. I had to go elsewhere for those. Oh well, can’t have it all.
Highly recommend.

Typical Petsmart! However, there is always something on sale here which I love. They also have a very, hard to find medicated pet food for my cat and this saves me from going back and forth to my vet and I can use my coupons to save my $$ because as a pet owner you know that these items add up. Helpful staff, great service. No complaints. I will return.

I visit this PetSmart just about every 1 – 2 weeks, to pick up food and/​or treats for my dog. As far as just a store, its good — large selection of foods and items needed for any of your furry/​feathered/​scaled friends. So for that its completely fine.
My issue is with the groomers. I have taken my dog there about 3 times just to get her nails clipped and filed. I can’t do it myself because she doesn’t hold still for me. Usually its no problem getting it done there, other than as a walk in, it can be really inconvenient making me wait with a dog who is hyper and knows what she’s in for. The last 2 times there has been a girl there who has taken care of my pup — I don’t know names but she’s a blonde girl with a very friendly disposition. Now as I said, my dog doesn’t hold still for me, and it usually takes 2 of them — one to hold her and the other to clip.
However, the last time she was taken in (by my boyfriend), he complained to me that whoever cut her nails last (not the cheery blonde) was really really rough with my dog, yanking on her paws and really manhandling her. Again, I know my dog is not the easiest to work with but I would have rather she tell my boyfriend either a) she can’t or b) come back when she has help.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen them manhandle dogs. Sometimes while waiting for my dog, I watch the groomers yank and pull at the grooms. In particular one Schnauzer was in for a clip and I guess was moving a little too much and I stood there and watch the groomer grab him by his fur below his beard and yank him hard.
So with what my own dog has experienced and what I’ve seen on my own, I won’t be going back to get her taken care of there.

I really don’t know how this place has 4 stars? I mean the staff is the best part. They are always nice. but EVERYTHING is SO overpriced. And I sure hate giving my money to big corps that pay their nice employees pennies. Your better off going to a local mom n pop shop, even if your paying the same money, at least you will be supporting local community.
IF you have to go here — go on adoption day, saturdays from 11 – 4 and support the local shelter.

This store is my neighborhood go-​to pet store. They have a large selection of products and are usually fully stocked. Be vigilant about prices as you check out, since they are often not the prices listed on the shelf. Usually it’s not a problem and they always honor the lower price but it involves getting the manager, going to the shelf to make sure, etc so it takes longer and you may irritate people that are waiting behind you. I don’t buy dog food because they don’t carry Evo or Taste of the Wild. But another pet store, also in the same shopping plaza does. I would love to give Petsmart more business if they carried a different selection of dog food. We also signed up our puppy for training and Annette was our wonderful instructor (not sure if she still works there now).

Nothing special to report. They carry some things that PetCo doesn’t. If you sign up for a Pet Perks card, you get the discounts in the store, but you don’t accumulate points like PetCo.

I already own a lil chihuahua baby, but now that I’m getting into the fishkeeping hobby, I’ve been frequenting this PetSmart quite often. They have a very nice selection of fish food, medicine, tank chemicals, and most are always on sale if you’re a PetPerks member.
I bought my two fishy friends yesterday (2 jullii corydoras catfish), and they were not only affordable, but super active and cute too! I would recommend taking a good look in the tanks here, and anywhere really. Try not to get fish from a tank with dead ones in it, just to avoid bringing in disease. I only saw one tank with a dead fish in it, so I’m sure they’re on top of scooping them out usually, this one may have just been missed.
The fish girls were very informative, I overheard them going down the list of compatible tank mates, what kind of substrate to get, water quality etc.
I definitely feel so excited when I come here, I haven’t wanted to go to any other pet store for my aquatic desires.

Great place to shop for pet products. I just wish I was able to bring my cat without the risk of him running away. Super friendly staff.

I’ve been to many pet stores in Edison and this one is by far the cleanest, most organized, and you can find everything you need for your pet. They even have a hospital inside the store and grooming services. The moment I went in, I was actually surprised that it has a pleasant smell unlike other pet stores I’ve been to, I just want to puke.
I was shopping for guinea pig food and a sales person quickly asked me if i needed help. Then I went to the fish aisle to buy a fish tank and another sales person specializing on fish came to help us. Overall, they are very attentive and keep this place clean!

My pet cat has recently made the transition over from «adult» cat to «senior» cat, and that necessitates me buying him Science Diet food, which is not something they carry at most stores like Target or Wal-​Mart. I was referred to this Petsmart by my vet so I knew it was a safe bet to check out for my fuzzball’s needs.
Located in a shopping center with a humongous Shop Rite, storage facility, Chase bank and restaurant Petsmart is definitely located in an ideal spot. The store is *huge* and is not just a pet shop or pet food joint. Instead, it is more of an all-​in-​one pet center. In addition to carrying an amazing array of pet food and care products, Petsmart also boasts a veterinary service, an adoption center and a dog training area with certified dog trainers. I’ve witnessed these classes and they’re usually group classes where everyone appears to be having a lot of fun.
The prices at this location seem reasonable. I say «seem» since I’ve only ever bought one type of cat food here, but if you sign up for their Petsmart card you wind up paying .79 cents instead of .95 cents for a can of Science Diet senior food, not a bad discount!
Among the animals the store sells are gerbils, birds, hamsters, lizards and fish. Cats and dogs are only available via adoption, which I was happy to see (there are tons of animals who need adoption, so why spend hundreds of dollars on one?).
Service is great, with plenty of helpful sales people on the floor and fast check out. I’ve made Petsmart a regular stop on my shopping route, I’d suggest you do the same if you’re a pet owner.
