PetSmart

This is my favourite Petsmart location in the city! It’s ginormous, always has tons of parking and has unfailingly knowledgable and friendly staff.
Located at Hunt Club and Merivale in the Costco complex, it’s easy to find and as mentioned, as a huge parking lot. The tore itself is massive and houses a pet hotel, grooming salon, training area and little cat adoption spot. I love that the animals for adoption are from local shelters. It makes me feel like they actually care about animals unlike mall pet shops where they sell animals for hundreds of dollars.
Since the place is so massive there’s a ton of selection and I’ve never had an instance where I haven’t been able to find what I’m looking for. I’ve had to ask several questions regarding food choices, toys, potty training and they always have great advice!
The prices aren’t wonderful, but they’re not ridiculous either. I have a Pet Perks card which gets you some great deals — totally recommend picking one up if you shop here often or have a fur baby of your own.
I brought my corgi here to get groomed and they always did a great job with him. It was about $ 60 for a shampoo, brush, nail grind and ear cleaning. Overall, a fun spot to bring your pet (a great way to socialize puppies — they have training classes as well), and if you’re looking for any kind of pet product, I guarantee they have it!

One time I went here and got GREAT service. The store was neat and tidy and I was able to find what I was looking for. The cashier who rang up my stuff was really friendly and nice.
The second time I went here the cashier was really rude. The person in front of me was there with her dog and the cashier was fine. Then it was my turn, she saw that I had cat food, and she got really cold all of a sudden… perhaps she just hates cats? I’m not sure. She didn’t ask me for my Pet Perks card, which they typically ALWAYS ask for. When she was done ringing me up I said «have a nice day,» at which point she just grunted at me. It was kind of off-​putting.
