Now the firm gets a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 and the rating has been calculated on 2 reviews.
You must have seen that its rating is practically the highest, but it's based on few reviews, so the assessment isn't very credible.
You know that we don't usually stop to place tatings when they are good and we usually do it only if we have had a problem or issue...
This Zoo corresponds to the category of Pet store.
Staff is nice, but they don’t stock enough cooling items for pets. Nanaimo is a hot city in the summer and there needs to be more cooling jackets, mats, etc. stocked. Their covid practices are really good though, and most of the staff are really excited to help solve any issues you have. I have a picky eater and one staff member helped me find 3 different chicken-free food boosters/toppers (allergy), which is tricky.
the staff here is awesome!!!!! so helpful and funny. thank you all.
They don't have many options for bird baths, etc.
Large store that is very pet friendly. The stock for cat toys needed restocking as did a few other items but in general I find whatever I am looking for. Recently adopted my kitten from their rescue adoption center and they were fantastic.
Great store, friendly staff
Friendly helpful staff
WHY shop here? Staff friendly and helpful, and the girls in the grooming room are very professional with their service ... our black lab loves getting his nails done. But, he has discovered their hiding spot for the treat bucket and makes a quick dash for it at least once per visit ... sorry :)
Some of the staff are not friendly
Selection
Has all you need for your best friend
Pet Smart is a great & friendly place to be. Your animals will love to go for a visit and the staff are very knowledgeable.
Clean, bright, well organized store with great deals and prices. Friendly and helpful staff.
Very nice place love it
Things are easily found as the store is kept quite tidy. Staff is helpful as well.
Love this place so much
They always give my dog free treats and I love that
The staff are very helpful and kind. They also understand and know the products that they sell while being engaging, listening to your needs patiently and then applying their knowledge of the products you are seeking.
Hey its petsmart its pretty good, knock off a star as their grooming isn't that great in Nanaimo. Went to get my dogs nails done and they didn't do a good job.
I love this location of petsmart. Very nice and friendly staff. And it seems like they are getting stock again for reptile supplies so that's excellent!!
Good variety
Not my favorite
Had African Grey bird food
Long wait at till. No one available in store to help. All three were busy.
The groomers did an awesome job on our dirty, matted Standard poodle! Thanks so much!
Great staff, always very sweet and helpful. The grooming salon did a great job on my corgi
They are always friendly to me
Good selection ... Knowledgeable staff
The staff are always helpful and they carry a large variety of pet care items.
Great customer service. My pets and I are always well taken care of.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff
I had a lot of fun in the store today. Super friendly staff that were more than willing to answer all my silly questions about fish. Since I was shopping for "pretty fish" as my daughter requested, I figured I would ask for help once in the store. I didn't get the two female employees names, I should have, but they were friendly and comical. We had a good laugh and I went on my merry way. I look forward to coming into the store again. Thank you
Love the store. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Tara one of the assistants went above and beyond to make my shopping experience amazing. Thanks guys.
The store always looks good .. I buy my girls food here .. just bought her a giant size memory foam bed!
I hate this place fish full of ick decor has metal in it. Plants full of bugs
Friendly Helpful Staff Great Selection of pet products and services
Great customer service. Sammie is my favourite gal there, she is most helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable.
Great selection and employees
Great friendly knowledgeable staff
We love petsmart
Excellent store...loads of choice.
The in stock selection of small animals is trash
It's always fine. They have Christmas themed items now.
Great place if you have a pet.
Great service and a wide variety of useful products for your pets
Always has the best toys, food and supplies for my two kittens!
Great customer service
Good service

Plenty of nice staff, great deals and a pretty nice place to get pet stuff
Love how you can bring your pet in with you to shop. Staff are very friendly & knowledgeable. Great place for all your pet's needs, even your exotics!!!
Always happy.
Lots of choices of food , good return policy
Great place to get your dog's nails fone
Average service. Wide variety of different dog food. Grooming/ Nail trimming is over priced.
Good food choices for a raw diet for my pure breed small dog.
Got our cat sadie today great service thank you
They were very helpful, there was a lot of staff which made things flow. Even with Covid protocol we were in and out ????
Perfect place for all your pet needs
Understaffed but great service when it us available
products are good but the livestock is always abit sad
Big selection of dog and cat supplies, also aquariums, and pocket pet supplies.
Customer service is outstanding! Amazing selection for any pet!
Friendly staff up front
Great selection. Lots of stock. Slightly expensive.
The 3 stars is because of there polices on pitbull as far as the store itself and service everything was the way it should be. Wish they had more thing for large breed specifically in chew toy section
Slooooow lineups and tend be out of what we needs for our pets.
Nothing spectacular about the store or staff.
Great selection, reasonable prices, can be hard to get help but when you do they are generally friendly and fairly knowledgeable.
Love this store has everything for your pets needs, friendly staff too.
Great service even though what I wanted wasn't in stock.
Animals kept in tiny area's.
Friendly staff
very nice people and helpful
Great customer service a d assistance in laser printing dog tags
Big store, great prices, huge selection.
First off pet smart has a excellent selection of products for every kind of pet. On the other hand, they are kind of expensive and don't have nearly enough staff for the amount of people that shop there. For instance, I've been a line up for 20 minutes waiting to be served because they wouldn't open a second line. Overall, it's ok.
I'd rather buy local but they're still good
Friendly staff, particularly in the grooming salon.
Nice staff. Good product selection.
PetSmart is great. I have to go there anyway for special food for my cat. The staff are always friendly. I also like that they help the SPCA adopt out their cats.
Fantastic,
Animals, full of animals!
Yes.
I want to buy bugs and set them free. Viva la bug Revolution!!
The store is clean and the staff are friendly, but some of their people seem to be uninformed on proper standards of care of the animals in their store.
Huge options to choose from and very easy returns
i went in looking for a small guppy for my 4 gallon tank. what i got was rude service and disappointing selection. i waited for over 15 mins for service so i finally went up to the counter to ask for help but when i told the lady that i wanted a guppy for my 4 gall tank she replied by saying "you cant put this fish in a tank smaller than 10 gallons" so i moved on by asking well what can i put in my tank, she said that the only thing that could be put in there was sold out. She was also very rude and unprofessional. i'm quite disappointed
Awesome place to shop
Friendly clerks that provide information to make sure your pet is happy
Store is always clean and pet friendly. Staff is very helpful and groomers are very good with my dog.
Well organized store with lots of different fish to chose from. There’s lots of different food for both cats and dogs and lots of other small pets as well. The only thing I wish they had more of were cute collars and breakaway collars for cats and dogs! Love the staff here.
Super helpful staff in the fish and reptile section! I love that I can bring my dog in with me
Very friendly and helpful staff. Made my shopping easy!
I asked a guy for help with my cat. He was not very interested in helping me and in the end suggested I go to Walmart, so I did.
Calm, welcoming environment. I find it is very open for one of the smallest petsmarts on the Island. Most of the staff are absolutely wonderful to talk to and ask questions. Lots variety of products and animals. The only thing I DO NOT agree with is how they care for their bettas, they are not put in a proper tank system, nor are they quarantined. I really do wish that petsmart would have a proper place and environment to keep the fish, as they do not look their best when in the cups.
Well knowledged with their animals, staff and owners will go above and beyond to make sure you get everything you need :)
Got everything you need for your pets
terrible customer service. DO NOT order anything online to be picked up in this store. If you elect to not pick up the item they go ahead and charge your card illegally! The "Manager" will not refund your card!
Excellent service and help to find what we're needed.
Prices are always good, you're sure to see some cute dogs coming in, and the staff are more or less friendly. My only complaint is that the rodents don't often look very healthy, and the birds are not hand tamed.
Groomer was awesome, very caring and professional!
Great place to go for deals and quality products for you pets. Staff generally helpful and friendly.
Excellent customer service , with great knowledge of products....
Very informative and helpful. Friendly and kind. Also a variety of pet owners from your typical dog right to snake ownership so knowledge is a positive factor when finding the perfect pet.
They have a huge selection of pet supplies. Staff are helpful and things are easy to find, prices are good
There is a wide selection of items which is great however, my grooming experience was terrible
Great selection with average prices
They have a lot of variety for pet supplies and also sell small animals, facilitate adoption for cats. They have a grooming center and provide dog training classes.
Always great service!
Not bad
Great store, has everything!
Never a bad experience
Excellent staff very friendly very much eager to help me ...buy all my boys toys there .....bought a cooling tent for my Dakota
It's more expensive to my tastes.
Friendly staff
Would have given you a 5 star but the only staff we asked a question about said that you didn't carry the brand but after that chat we saw it in at least two locations. Would have liked someone to come by and ask if we needed any help. Pleased to get the membership for extra savings.
Best selection in town
Big store. Big selection. Hard to find help. Lineup at checkout. Only one cash open
Staff is very helpful
We've used the petsmart groomers in Langford and love them. We recently moved to Port Alberni and couldn't find a groomer willing to take our 6 month old bernadoodle rescue puppy. So I called the Petsmart groomers in Nanaimo. Tgey took her the next day. Elsa was fantastic with our pup Zoe. I can't say enough positive things about Petsmart groomers. I highly recommend them
Super staff. Helpful and know their products.
Great staff, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The store is tidy and there is alot of room in the isles for social distancing. They are quick to call another cashier when the line gets bigger. I have never had to wait very long in line.
Great staff!!
Great people working there.
Constantly out of the thing is want. Their supply of goods is inconsistent at best. You would think if you ran out of something all the time YOU WOULD ORDER MORE.
Great customer service
Nice spot
Service is not always quick. Prices are high
Good service. Multiple cash lanes but only one used it seems. Friendly staff though. Will return.
No more cats are here for adoption outlet has limited variety in cat food the fishies are cute though
It’s all good you could buy Pets I love this place
they have pets, better than many other "pet" stores
Couldn't find a couple item's but overall good service
Great selection of food and pet products. I am disappointed here often because they don't seem to carry products in xl or xxl .I live close by and I am there often but it seem's they do not have much for dog's that size. great for dogs size lg and smaller.
Great selection. Decent prices. Hard to find staff at times.
Food was good Abby our server was great .
Love their big selection and the rewards system. Be buy almost everything for our dog here!
Out of crickets which seems normal. Live animals not given proper care, especially birds and reptiles.
Website shows goldfish in stock. Phone to confirm but nobody can take the call. Drive one hour to attend store. No stock due to pandemic but should have some following week I'm told by staff. Staff apologized about website being wrong. Check following day and website is corrected to show no stock. Two weeks later check website and they have stock. Phone to confirm and again no answer other than a recorded message stating no stock checks available. Drive an hour again (this time for other stores also) again zero stock. Get it together! My last visit to petsmart.
Welcomes pets. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Wide product selection.
Great selection of pet food and very friendly knowledgeable staff.
it's a good place to get what you need but can get a little pricey
Staff horrible don't know how to put stuff on shelfs had extremely bad experiences
Very helpful staff!
Had to purchase a life jacket for my dog. The staff suggested I bring in my dog and try on different sizes before my purchase, and the price was reasonable. Super helpful, friendly staff.
Great customer service, by floor staff and store Manager Ian! Thanks for your support and help when it comes to products and directions in the store.
Dog said it was good, so I trust him
They let dogs in, its great
Dig loves it can get what I need there
Great help from the staff. Prices can be a bit steep though.
Great customer service , lots and lots and lots of animal supplies. Cages and live animals are clean and well taken care of. Spca cats are awesome as well!
Has specialty cat food and lots of sales!
Great store, very friendly staff
The staff here are very knowledgeable and helpful about pet care. They are very welcoming to new pet owners.
Huge spot, with helpful employees to answer questions and point you in the right direction. Bug selection of anything pet related, anywhere from a fish to a dog and everything in between.
Very friendly staff and they help you find what you need
Looks like the store needs a major resupply. Many empty and near empty shelves. Prices are like many pet stores, seem a bit high. Not the same store as previously pandemic!
Keeping beta fish in small cups is barbaric
Staff are very helpful. I bought a cage for my cat there last week for a long car ride. He got out of it in 30 seconds at the most. He just pushed right through the metal gate and bent it out of his way. If not for that, I would rate them a 5. I am gone from the province now with my cat. So I paid 60 bucks for a cage that didn't work as a cage. He got out and was lost for 17 hours!! 17 hours adds a huge Chunk to our 4 day journey.
Great place to buy my doggy his grub and some playthings!!!
They have a great selection of everything a cat could want!
Lots of selection, cashier was very pleasant but the ladies working in the grooming department were not. Didn't seam to like thier jobs and as a customer I found one young lady with tattoos to be quite rude and abrasive. Won't be going back.
A pet friendly experience, with a trusted policy, if your pets food isn't working, an in-store voucher is provided... Pet services are easily planned...
Friendly staff.
If you need special food for your pet you can usually get it here. Along with other brands.
Awesome place
Great customer service and knowledge
I am being very frank. This is an awesome store. But owners/ managers do not hire / have adequate staff if they are going to be open in the evenings. During the daytime no problems. After 6 the place is generally staffed by 2 folks. If it is a all busy they are both doing check-out. Shop lifting is happening in front of my eyes. No floor staff to help customers. This stroke has a lot of inventory ( ie fish and reptiles that are not self serve. ) So if you want anything from those area forget it. Plus the line ups at checkout exceed most customers patience level. They walk out with their unpaid merchandise. We all pay when shop lifting occurs .. wake up owners.
Good selection
My pooch loves going here to pick out his own toy and meet new friends
Not helpful at all
Everything we always need.
Everything you need for almost any kind of pet
Found every thing and checked out super fast
I liked kevin
They took great care of my dog.
Alot of stuff...often cute animals..best place to get pet supplies n treats
Friendly workers
Big store, lots of selection. I wish they had the shelter cats in more often but I do like that they don't ever sell cats and dogs from breeders. Lots of fish to look at here.
Handle returns very well
So great for all your pet needs. I recently discovered they also have frozen mice for our snakes too! And a good price.
Wonderful service, good selection and prices vary
All the suppliers you need for a beardie!
Fish are still being treated for diseases for a few weeks now. A couple staff chatting with each other and we had to wait on an employee to finish with another customer so we could have our products rang in. Poor service today at this location on Stavanger drive
Poor service, workers are not very helpful at ALL, save yourself the trip go Share Kare or Bosleys instead
Great store with a huge variety and nice to see so many people accompanied by their friendly dogs.
Whatever I am looking for, I can get it there. Alot of variety and very professional and informative & friendly staff.
I get my baby outfits here all the time
Lots of pets. Clean and quick service. You can bring your dog!
Great customer service and products.
Well stocked and decent pricing! Always seems to have good sales going on too :)
Decent selection and good prices
Minimal wait times, plenty of employees willing to help!
Service is nice. Fish selection is very limited. Good place for deals on aquariums. Entrance is sometimes not very clean. Watch where you step.
Helpful employees. Might have to go look for someone when you walk in. Usually two people on the till. I like the store.
Stuff was on sale but tried to charge me full price , had to fight to not pay full price when the tag on the iteam said the sale price
PetSmart demonstrated their care for us as a community by making curbside pickup available in Nanaimo. This is very important to me and they came through at a time when some businesses have chosen not to. I'm super impressed. Thank you to everyone who makes this service possible. ????
Took my yorkie to have her nails trimmed. Woman working wanted to see my dog walk.i dropped a piece of paper by accident dog flinched. This woman had a noose kind of lead on the dog and pulled her hard .One thing they should know isnot to pull on a small dogs neck. That's why I had her harness on her never pull a small dog by the neck. I left without getting nails clipped.
Get service
Great service. Lots of options for pet food.
Amazing service great people
Great selection. Prices are not too bad either. Grooming and pet training there too.
Always great selection,price and service. My go-to source for my zoo supplies.
I love it! I got a black Moor Goldfish during my visit ???? Fish ????
Service was excellent! My till girl was extremely polite and efficient. Her work ethics exuded excellence. The product I purchased, not so much.
Only place that sells hornworms on the island so it's our go to. Decent prices. Very friendly staff
Wouldn't sell me 2 goldfish because they felt the size of my tank was too small. I could, however, purchase them to feed to a larger fish. Absolute joke.
Large variety of products but the shelves are often disorganized. I even saw a can of cat food that had been opened sitting on a shelf. It looked like it had been sitting there for awhile! Still, I do go there from time to time for things I can't get from Bosleys.
Best place to retrieve any pet supplies , food, in miramichi
Big chain pet store, good and what you'd expect.
Great work! Excellent service! Will go again.
Standard pet store
The staff was awesome!!! They took Harmony & treated him like royalty for his nail trim, handling him delicately with his recent medical head condition. They trimmed & filed his nails nice & short just as perfect as the Vet. Then, they placed the cutest scarf around his neck! The funniest part was when my tiny Harmony put up his front paws as if praying for at least 2 mins, LOL! Bravo ladies!!! We'll return!
Circled the store twice to find a simple basic dog collar for $10... Dog doesn't care was happy to go for a walk with her plain jane. Staff was super attentive and.willing to assist... Prices are rediculously high!
Great pet store!
Great management, willing to help with any issues.
Best place!
Very nice and informative staff when I was buying my pet hamster. Decent prices and choices.
No masks on any staff or on most of customers and long, long line-ups so people are exposed to each other for maximum time. Brutal. Clearly understaffed but everyone was helpful and polite. If there's an outbreak of covid they're all going to get sick.
Selection and pricing are excellent. It's one of the few places in St John's that have aquarium supplies for both small and large setups. However, they do need to spend more time taking care of their aquariums.
Awful parking lot, great store
Changing from 3 to 1 star was in Ontario PetSmart recently and same brand dog food was $10.00 cheaper
It sure is a PetSmart
Staff are informative and are quick to help. Animals are well cared for.
Always get our pets nails clipped here. The staff are fast and efficient. The floor staff are very helpful when I have questions!!
(Translated) Very good choice (Original) Très bon choix
Not too many options to choose from, staff is very friendly and welcoming!
Great place to get pet item's
Lots to choose from, super friendly and helpful staff, grooming centre is fantastic.
Great selection of pet supplies with very knowledgeable staff who can help with any question or problem.
Great environment inside the store, but can be rowdy with animals inside the store. It is also nice at this PetSmart location that their is a Groomer's room to bring your animal in to be groomed. Workers are knowledgeable and nice and the PetSmart obviously has a good selection of pets and pets food, toys, accessories etc.
Excellent pet store! Best one around
Great place. Friendly staff * still awesome!
Wouldn't go to any other pet store!!
The staff are always friendly and helpful, but I do not like the store/business. Their reptile care is abominable and their thrive products are absolute garbage. Couldn’t breath when I opened the aspen shavings, I had to put them in a bin and shake it outside until the dust was gone. And I’ve cut myself on thrive hides, like I said, absolute garbage. Edit: almost forgot to say the prices aren’t great
Great pet smart! Staff is knowledgeable and helpful! Kinda neat (and odd) that they call us Pet Parents but overall it’s my go-to place for pet supplies... mainly because it’s one of the only places in town for pet supplies.
Only place where I can buy food specific to my pet needs.
Was bummed out when i checked the closing time for sunday it said 7pm i drove an hour to find out it closed at 5pm
Always great sevice
Staff at this location are wonderful ❤
A bit of a line up but had what I needed.
Always loses a star for the state of the couple dozen Betta, suffering in tiny cups.
Friendly staff, great service, pets are very welcome!
Love it, every thing you need for your pet
only place to buy a lizard anymore.
Great service and knowledgeable staff, and our dog loves coming to see his "friends"
Great place shop for pet supplies
Great staff !! Selection is medicore though.
They ran out of stocks at times, but theyre still fun to visit in person or online
Great store. Members discount
We had our golden doodle groomed and bathed today, we are so happy with the results. Staff was very friendly and caring. Definitely recommend. Thanks!!
Lots of Verity.
Love this place! Today the spca has cats and kittens to adopt they are gorgeous
Fun, friendly service. Excellent cat & fish tank products
No greeting, no help. Got to cashier where I was asked, in front of the entire huge lineup if I have Cancer! Really!?! Hair does not define anyone as a person! Shame for being so uncaring and judgemental. Why? If I said yes vs. no, would it have mattered to you or the rest of the store? Customer service representative needs a lesson in manners and job description. People should feel safe in our community, not judged like a spectacle for their hairstyle. Unbelievably rude and selfish.
Love this place! So does my dog! Amazing staff who truly care about your pets.
Pudgy girl wouldn't let us see the hamsters to lazy to get them out for us so well left our $500 worth of stuff in our shopping cart and left. On top of seeing close to 50 dead fish in the tanks gross take care of your fish glad we didn't get a hampster there anyway shows how good they take care of there animals.
Clean store friendly staff!
Fantastic store and workers.
I go here for all of my pets needs. Very friendly good prices and they help tonnes lf cats get adopted from local shelters.
Great selection, decent prices, friendly staff...when you can find them ;)
Great pet store. Well stocked shelves and friendly and helpful staff.
Good
Great place to shop for all your pets needs
A very good pet store. Lots of choices.
We love Petsmart!!!
Helpful staff. We'll stocked store.
Great customer service, like any pet store, the prices are high!
Prices are about the same as any of the local pet stores. I'd rather support local whenever possible.
Very friendly helpful staff, competitive pricing, large variety of foods and products...
I've been coming here for years. It's my go to place for my pets.
They look after our dog like no other!
Good variety of dog and cat food. Large selection of fish and birds. Self serve dog tag maker is a must use!
Decent selection of items, but the staff aren't the most helpful or friendly. No form of greeting when entering, no one asks if you require help as you browse, finding someone to help can be a challenge.
Pet friendly of course. Store is very clean. Stock is organized. Staff are helpful. Great place to shop for your pets needs.
Great customer service, The staff there are very knowledgeable about their products and have helped me numerous times finding things for my 8 year old Am Staff and 3 month old kitten. One star deducted only because of a lack of product availability at times; could also use more selection for very strong chewers but overall this is a great one-stop shop for pet needs
Awesome selection... Wish we were closer to each other!
Pet friendly in more ways than one.
Easy to find what you want. Always clean with staff that try their best to help.
I hate seeing all the dead fish in tanks.
The best thing about pet smart are the prices. Hamsters often don't have wheels in their displays and social animals are often left alone. The standards for small pet habitats are not told to you, mostly because their small animal cages are below the minimum and can only really be sold as a travel cage but they won't tell you that obviously because the store wants to make money. All I can say is research your pet intensity before making a purchase. You will save money and suffering. Don't just trust products either, example chinchillas need sand, not dust although pet stores sell dust, it can actually hurt their lungs and even kill them from infection.
Staff were really friendly and helpful with what I needed. It's a huge store too so they have a big big range of products
Lots of choices
I purchase the "Worlds Best Litter" here for my cat, Sinbad, plus Halo food. The groomers in-store are excellent. They are professional, caring and I feel Sinbad is in good hands. :)
I don't normally support big corporations but when I do it's because I need something hard to find and probably overpriced. Shop at Oliver's at Brooks Landing to support locally owned business.
Such helpful people at PetSmart.
The pups like to wander through and smell everything.
I have trying to get small pet for months and these guys never have a thing!!!!
Great experience! Brought my beardie in for a new bulb and she got lots of attention from curious customers and staff ♥
Very helpful
Staff are mostly kids with little care in the world. Line ups can get bad but the main problem is the parking and the average driving skills of the people who park there.
Lexi did a great job grooming my dog Chewie... I recommend her.
Friendly staff good product
Decent selection of pet stuff, but the fish care is abysmal. Filters literally *clogged* with dead fish. Looked in the panda cory tank, and there were at least six dead fish in that tank alone, and 75% of the tanks had at least one dead fish. If you need fish and Aquarium 101(first choice) isn't open, try Pet City.
Having the ability to bring in my dog to sample some food is fantastic. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Bit more costly than other stores but the variety and customer service makes up for the difference.
This place cares about animals. They have really good selection. Great staff. Cute little lizards. They also have birds, small pets like guinea pigs, fresh water fish, and supplies for cats and dogs. They do not sell cats and dogs. They support dog and cat adoption groups. Please adopt! ???????? They also have a grooming salon.
Really nice staff
Good fast service and helpful
Excellent fast efficient customer service. My online order was ready for curbside pick-up within the hour & delivered directly into vehicle trunk by friendly store employee!
Great team very helpful and warm welcomes
Staff was very friendly, selection wasn't great
I love being at Pet Smart; they're always so friendly and kind to my toddler and they have a great selection for all pets. We go for frozen mice for our corn snake and they have a great number of selection for that alone. Some of the special features I appreciate are the doggy bag stand out front, the welcome of pets on leashes in the store and the presentation of cats for adoption as opposed to selling them. I love the love this place has, especially compared to Pet Valu where they wanted me to fish through their baggies of frozen mice because the worker couldn't touch stock they have in their own store.
Awsome friendly service
Two parakeets, cage, food, toys & a comfortable experience well worth the $200... Avimec from Australia will save you hundreds in Vet bills. The incubation period of scaly face mites eggs is around six months to a year...wish I knew that before I bought them "Avimec" is probably the best way to save your budgie as vets want $100 per bird for assessing bird plus huge markup on ivermectin which comes in Avimec...
I've had plenty of good experiences here! The staff are friendly and are always willing to share their knowledge when it comes to the subjects I might not be too well versed in. Sure their stock is pretty dry later in the week, but being the only "big pet store" in Nanaimo it makes sense.
Seems to be getting low on supplies
Fish always die
Great variety. Supports local rescues
Such friendly staff, everyone was so patient while my daughter picked out her fish
Wide selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Only largle box stote for pet supply left in town!
Great selection and helpful staff. They also offered free Santa photos which was so nice for the holidays
What a horrific experience? I looked at some kittens at this store. They told me to call and check up on them. After calling multiple times with no answer. I have assumed they do not care about my business with them. Bosley's has proven superior service and I will continue to shop there. I really do not appreciate the lack of communication. It definitely shows a lack of service. Hopefully they treat the animals better than the customers.
There was a very helpful older male staff member who took time to educate me on pet diets. This was perfect for me as I tried to navigate their endless selection of dog food. Otherwise it's just your average pet mega-mart.
Nothing nice to say about this place
Super friendly staff and great atmosphere, also love that you can bring pets in, wonderful store!
Great grooming
Great customer service, lot of variety for every little pet
Very knowledgeable staff
The fish here are full of Ich. Poor management. Poor costumer satisfaction. Well never come back.
Largest pet store in St. John's. Checking out can be a little slow but great staff makes up for it.
Very pet friendly and excellent service
Kittens are too expensive to adopt
Fantastic experience. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Ashley, the trainer at this store is a wonderful person and you can see she loves her job! She will come over to speak with us whenever we are at the store. I can not praise her enough. Overall, Petsmart is a great place to shop for your beloved Dog, prices are very compatible and some products are top of the line. The groomers are fantastic and do their job the best they can do, depending on your pooch lol I'm extremely satisfied with Petsmart.
sooo it turns out the animal for sale arnt meant to be eaten... oh well 10/10 should sell better tasting hampsters tho
Helpful staff good selection.
Good quick, pick up service.
Good place helpful people good
Great store, but always waiting to get checked out
Unfortunately the website lied - not all staff are wearing masks nor are customers required to wear them. Boooooooooooo
Service was friendly and the line for the cashier was short and efficient.
Not enough actual pets available. Tons of supplies and accesories though
Great customer service! But... the neons i bought all had ick! Gross!
Service was not good on the day I went here. Cashier (possibly a manager) spent the entire time of the checkout transaction with my girlfriend. The customer service has generally been good other than this incident. It just indicates a possibility of bad service.
Decent spot had to get a dog brush. She hates it. But thats probably not petsmarts fault. Hamsters were cute. Everything is a fortune.
Pet tag machine was broken and needed tape to keep the tag in. No biggie. But too extra time.
Excellent selection and knowledgeable staff
Associates were very helpful and knowledgeable.
Knowledgeable crowd!
The representative was very knowledgable about the different kinds of fish
Pet friendly and stocked with costumes. Hurry 'cause they go fast!
Helpful staff were appreciated.
Great friendly staff
Good Selection of hardware. Very poorly maintained animals. Fish should be sparingly purchased here. Please try other local fish vendors before buying one here. I've had more diseased than not from this building.
Would be 5 stars if they stocked the PetSmart exclusive colorful creations pet pedding!
This place has the most helpful and friendly staff!
Service was wonderful. Employees went out of their way to help me.
Quickest place for nail trims but sometimes has a wait.
Friendly,helpful staff. Good hours of operation. Store front parking. Fantastic selection of pet food and accessories.
Always friendly, always knowledgeable with the fish! Thanks again for a great visit.
Pawdicure for my ????. Crickets for the reptiles. Great service all around
Nanaimo Petsmart needs to update their inventory more often. For 5 weeks they have been out of a specific item yet online shows LOW STOCK. I ordered the item online for pickup only to have the order declined because they didn't have the stock. ????????????
Love the experience and the fact i can bring my dog its a must . Very happy with my customers experience staff is friendly and they have pretty much everything your animals need
Our dog likes shopping here.
My daughter purchased a hamster with her own money, unfortunately it escaped the cage and met up with our cat. She was so upset and to make her feel better we went into PetSmart to just “look”. The same staff member was there who sold the hamster to us and she was so understanding and empathetic. She convinced us to use a fish tank vs a hamster cage since they often can get out and made my daughter feel like it wasn’t her fault. PetSmart then took back the cage and let us exchange it for the tank. She even brought out a few hamsters they had in the back to look since they weren’t ready for adoption. It’s the tine this staff member took with us that makes me so grateful, I wish I got her name but she was incredibly informative about hamsters, possibly a student with long dark hair. Thank you for your help that day!
Staff at till seemed to struggle. More training needed.
Small greenspace. Ok for kids. Nice area.
Puppy program Buy the coupon book Cost 19 bucks and saved me 30 Before I left store Thanks Miss Nice cashier.
Prices are reasonable but the staff are salespeople for brand names such as Exoterra. They want to upsell these items. They sell turtle equipment but no turtles lol!
Many pets many fish. 9/10 because lack of dragons.
Good service and good prices, at times there can be lots of old sale tags up but they are good about adjusting the prices if that happens.
Great place to get pet supplies.
Online order pickup is really convenient
Always a pleasure. Great, friendly staff. Very knowledgeable.
The extra care and TLC is amazing. I am very happy with the service!
They almost never have the Halo cat food in stock which is extremely inconvenient because PetSmart is, unfortunately, the only store in town that sells it.
Stock of aquarium water treatment items and fish food was really low. Lots of shelves were bare. Good selection of plants.
Good staff. Well kept animals.
Busy store but they had what we were looking for in stock.
They have more selection of pet foods, and variety of fish
Clean. Good selection
PetSmart is a wonderful store for my puppy. Awesome service there, and great dog toys and much more! Thank you PetSmart for what you do during this time.
Great Knowledgeable staff ,very friendly.
Best selection of products with trainers and groomers that are fantastic too
Helpful customer service rep helped me take my purchase to the car.
Love the groomers!
I always find what I need here and the staff is always friendly and informative.
Clean and friendly????
I appreciate the hardworking staff at PetSmart. There is a very good group of people working at the Nanaimo store. The selection is good. You can buy online and pick up in store. They currently need a better cricket supplier.
Well the reason I am only giving 1 star is not because of the staff. But because of the company itself. If you really do love animals and want them to be in good care do not go to pet smart! If you want to know the reason not to get your animals here them go on youtube and watch the video about petsmart on PETA channel.
It's a chain store, occasionally you can get good deals but as a southie it's not conveniently located. Only ever go if we need something or dog needs grooming
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PETSMART!!!!!! This pet store is an amazing petstore. Its always a pleasurable experience every time I visit there which is almost every 2 weeks, definitely no less then once a month. Each time I go to petsmart the staff are always freindly and smiling. They also give you great customer service, and are all very knowledgeable about the animals they carry. They are more willing to help you with anything, whether it's a question regarding your pet or an animal they have or the best choice of food for your animal etc.. They truly treat you with upmost respect as well when it comes to giving you advice or offering an opinion. This pet store goes above and beyond any expectations one would have for a pet store. They aim to please and it definitely shows!!!!
Very good service, and the people who work here are helpful and pleasant!
There's always a great find here for my little pup, we never leave empty handed. They have a great selection of cute outfits for your pet and winter wear to keep them warm and clean
Great store, the problem I have with this store is the fact that you always have to wait in line to be served when there is always someone(manager or assistant manager) standing to the side doing nothing, while the person on is bombarded with customers.
Awesome selection
Typical big company policies and service! I have been phoning for a week trying to put an item on hold but 'the policy' is only 24 hour holds. When you work and run a busy household and are trying to organize a gift from an hour and a half out of town a little leeway - in order to have a friend that works in that town one day a week pick up said item - would be nice. I suppose that is one reason to support the little guy!
Disappointed with the lack of stock
They didnt carry what i was looking for but the customer servive was excellent!
Great selection of pet supplies. Lots of fresh water fish for aquariums.
Good customer service.
Lots of selection and good prices, doing great work in connection to Catnap society but i went there with my mom 3 times and never an employee to be found on the floor to answer her questions or help find something. Maybe theyre just short staffed, but im not one to ask a staff member when i can find something myself and when i needed them, i could only find 2 staff that were busy on till. Also no prices on half of the items my mother and i looked at. That was annoying and one of the reasons we needed an associates help.
Doesn't carry the high end specialty foods that Bosley's does but they have a pretty good selection of the common brands. Staff is friendly and helpful too.
Store was out of stock on alot of items
Great place good prices
Great customer service!
Bought special food for my cat.
Great Employees Good variety of brands and items for all types of pets. From exotics, birds, reptiles to dogs & cats, they have supplies for most. Consistently expensive, though they do have good sales.
Love this place!! Very friendly staff and cute cats that you can adopt!!!
Find many things over priced
Cute animals
Used online ordering for the first time, when I showed up I pressed the button, waited about 5mins. And they asked for my name. When a different employee came with my order she stood there and held the cart not speaking a word, completely disregarding anything I was asking or saying to her ???? non the less made it super freaking awkward. I understand social distancing and all but common couldn’t even say one word? Not a hello? Nothing at all
Friendly people and dogs
The pet grooming service is excellent.
Great selection. Helpful and friendly staff! Thanks ????
Friendly staff and very clean.
10/10 would not visit again for a grooming appointment. To begin, the groomer was less than friendly and unwilling to listen to how I wanted my dog groomed. I've taken my golden retriever here many times before and never encountered this problem. Though, this time, it also took an hour and a half longer than usual. When I came back to check in, as it had been just over 3 hours, the groomer was even more unfriendly and basically told me to screw off and wait. When they finally called me I came back and when I walked in the door the groomer was, with hella attitude, complaining about me and the fact my dog didn't want her nails cut. Which was a known fact to us all and if she let me talk in the beginning, maybe she would've been more prepared. I could see my dog was horrified and, essentially, being tortured as she ground her nails while the other lady in the salon was saying, "oh yeah, i was just saying she should probably pull it" SO, how long was my dog being tortured for?? I'll never know but, would not recommend this PetSmart location for their grooming services.
Very helpful. Large sellection.
Very friendly and helpful. They always welcome my dog and myself.
Best pet groomers!
It's good IF you do your own research! Do not rely on the employees to know what they're talking about because on multiple occasions then don't!
Always have awesome service, no complaints and always good laughs with the employees
What a great place to shop for my paw-kids. Bright large isles and very helpful personnel.
Not bad for a Petsmart
One of the only places I frequent for my pet needs. Friendly knowledgeable staff
Great service good prices
Great selection, caring and engaged staff.
Always a nice and friendly atmosphere. Large selection of dog/cat food that are not all high end brands. They have a large (as opposed to most pet stores I've been to) reptile/amphibian section as well as lots of items for fish care. They also have cats/kittens for adoption from local shelters, and have an onsite pet grooming service area. They also have classes for training puppies/dogs in several discipline levels. They also have puppy/dog adoption drives on certain days (also from local shelters). They carry a small selection of snakes, spiders, lizards, birds and fish. I always enjoy my times here. Highly recommended.
Friendly staff.
Well organized and very friendly staff
excellent customer service and awesome cut for my dog. Exactly what I asked for
My pup loves this store, they carry tons of different brands and offer a variety of different services. I love that they also display adoptable cats from the SPCA at this location. The staff are really friendly and are always informative when they answer my questions
Courteous friendly staff. They did a great job caring for my dog. Recommended for all your pet needs.
Great staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Cayley, especially, was amazing and super helpful. She helped me find everything I needed and answered all my questions. The groomer that groomed my little puppy the next day was also very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the staff there.
Lots of fresh water fish stuff here!!
Always friendly quick service !
The service is good but prices are getting too high. $15 for a dead rat for my snake where they cost $2 a piece elsewhere. It's pretty funny because a live rat is $12.. And a lot of their toys I have seen at the dollar store $10 cheaper.
so today i took a shaggy ole dingleberry in, and three hours later, i picked up a beautiful chocolate lab!!! most likely keep her now... lol but seriously, best $50 ive ever spent, great great job girls!!! my mocha has never looked and felt better, soft fur like a puppy again!!! thank you so much...
Always love going there with my dog...they spoil him rotten
Best place for pet clothes
Found so many cute Christmas items for my dog. Good prices and lots of variety. Lots of cute puppies in store!
Good selection, but the staff is picked for their retail abilities, not their experience with pets...
One the best places to go when looking. For pets . pet foods adoptions fish dog training
Got everything you could imagine for your pet. So knowledgeable! Always discounts on food! Excellent customer service. Wish they woukd be closer to me
Very outstanding proffer stall keep up the great service
Good place to get pet supplies.
Really helpful staff
Good selection
Some of the best prices and unique items available.
Young lady in the fish Dept is very helpful and knowledgeable. Downside is the selection 9f fish since COVID is very poor.
Always deals
Helpful staff amid many many aisles of pet products. Due to Covid, there are dog food shortages in certain varieties. Unless I’m told in plain language that she hates it, my dog gets what I serve her. I’ve attached a photo of someone else’s dog.
It's pet smart, ok service, nothing that special!
They did an excellent job grooming Shelby! Friendly, professional service at a reasonable price. I will definitely be back!
Went in to buy a betta fish and the only ones they had didn’t look that great (damaged tails and not active). Since they were receiving a truck full of fish we asked both staff about when there would be more betta fish they told us that it would probably take them one to two hours to get the fish unloaded (totally fine, I get that it takes time to unload things) but you would think that maybe since we were going in especially for that they would show us what they had got and then we could pick from there, but she didn’t offer that and seemed rather standoffish. After waiting for 30 minutes to see if any would come out we asked the other lady there who was also rude and said that it would take one to two hours and even after then we wouldn’t be able to buy one because it would be too much stress for the fish to have been shipped and brought to a new home in the same day. I also understand that but we wouldn’t wanna stress out the fish too much but why didn’t she say that in the first place instead of having us wait around for 30 minutes just wandering the store. Also There were many other customers waiting for fish as well but the employees didn’t pay attention to them and didn’t offer to help anyone. There were many other employees just wandering the store as well but it didn’t seem like they were doing anything. There was a long line up at the front and every single staff didn’t really seem that well trained on cash as it took them a long time to get through each transaction. Normally I have ok experiences at Petsmart but this one really turned me off.I took them a long time to get through each transaction. We ended up going to my fish tank and the man there was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing selection of beautiful fish
They treat their fish HORRIBLY. Literally animal abuse, all their fish are severely ill and nobody there actually knows anything about the fish keeping hobby. It’s so depressing seeing their poor fish CRAMMED in tanks full of DEAD fish that they let rot in there for days on end. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell fish at all. It’s such an embarrassment of a company for fish and small pets. Sorry not sorry but when it comes to animals in danger it just breaks my heart and hurts my soul.
Great store. Very kind/family/pet friendly.
The lovely young lady who helped us with fish was very friendly, insanely knowledgeable and overall a pleasure to deal with.
Queue from one end of store to the other with only one register open. Saw what looked to be the manager and another staff member look at the queue and then make a beeline off the floor to hide...
Store was clean and staff were very attentive. Checkout was fast and painless.
Friendly helpful staff
Friendly and helpful staff, poor conditions for some of the animals. Betta fish kept in sub par conditions (numerous dead ones noted in containers).
Pretty good prices and they always have some little deal or discount. This place often has the newest products.
Great selection!
Need more cashiers at times. A few discontinued products that I loved and can't find anywhere else; boo!
Your everyday PetSmart, very cute animals and lucky enough to have trained staff for animal handling for those interested.
Great customer service, pet adoption centre, and everything you need for your animal companions.
Good place for cats supply
Love this place always a great selection of fish
Used their grooming service for my dog. They did good work.
Great place to find whatever you need for your pet!
Persons in pet grooming were excellent,will go back for sure.Only one cashier was working so time waiting qas more than 7 minutes.
Good pet food options and SPCA cat adoptions.
Small by regular standards. Did not have the dog vitamins we regularly get. Staff were helpful and we got a temporary alternative.
The staff was great, very helpful. I had no idea where the fish tank was I was looking for and they helped me find it and I was very happy with the price.
Love the friendliness if staff
smells rude employes im sure if you looked im the unemployment office they will be waiting in line
Great petsmart, very knowledgeable staff
Limited supply of large cans of cat food we were looking for
Good selection and friendly staff
Every thing you need for your pet.
Excellent above and beyond service!
Took our pup for a hair cut! They did a great job and our pup was happy when she left. ????
Have a great variety of animals items and prices are good. As far as fish knowledge i'd be hesitant to buy fish from here. Me along with three other people around my area this week bought fish, and they made our tanks sick. So far i've lost 4 fish and had to buy medication for my tank costing me over $30 so far. The fish didn't look so great but I'm pretty new to the fish tank scene and I didn't trust my gut and got fish anyways. Because I was told they were stressed and that why some were dead in the tank. I understand sometimes fish come in sick but they shouldn't be sold until they are healthy and don't infect our tanks. I will go back for items but will be buying my fish still from a more specialized store. This isn't to bash at all it's to PLEASE be more aware. Sad to get our tanks all healthy to end up losing some and having to spend more to get it back to normal
Great selection
Online search for feline articles showed me that what I wanted was in store. They have a larger selection than what is available online. My go to place.
Expensive . but what u would expect. Well stocked but over priced
The staff at this store are wonderful. They are very knowledgeable about the many products they offer and go out of their way to be kind to both their two legged and four legged customers!
Great store.. I would compare it to a Wal-Mart fully dedicated to pets.
Friendly staff. Prices are a bit high.
Such a big store, not much for birds though...
Have a good collection of bettas..
Excellent variety of high quality dog food.
Got 50%off on a new cat tree for being a member. Yes!
Very helpful, just wish there was one on west coast of island
I used to buy her dog food there and dog treats. However they no longer carry Nutro dog treat other than for very small dogs. Very disappointed. She also eats the Nutro lamb and rice for senior dogs. I have been feeding her this for 14 years. So because they don't have the proper treats for her I don't buy anything here. FYI she eat a bag of food every 3 months and treats I'm a softy so. Lots and pigs ears exc. So put the treats back and I come back. She is half Collie and half black lab. If not I'll just order them online !!
Good for pets needs but check prices
Refused to sell us a goldfish because we didn't have a 30 gallon tank, 30 gallon tank can cost around $600 - $700 and upwards to $1500, the goldfish we wanted cost $3.99
Large variety of pet food and supplies. Including speciality foods.
Bought a dog ramp. Great employees.
Only place I buy my dog's food.
Reasonable prices, knowledgeable staff, always well stocked. But put more staff on the cashes! People walk out and you lose money.
Great store very knowledgeable staff.
Been going omce a week every week for a years. Great people, even better stock.
It's hit or miss on whether the dog food I usually get is going to be on the shelf. May try elsewhere in the future.
Was just in the store for 20minutes waiting for service bye the fish tanks with 3 employees chatting and not services my sleff the customer and I had was going to buy fish ???? and walked out with nothing and now I'm going to buy my fish somewhere else
Not bad but prices are a bit high. I went to small local shop,for my birds food. Even Wal-Mart had more realistic prices. But, their selection was good and wasn't crowed.
Had what I needed
Not a single animal and lines where to the back of the store
They need more than 1 cashier working especially when the line is 6 or more people long.
Fantastic service great prices will go back
Customer service isn't great, need more expertise
Always a nice and helpful staff here.
Very beautiful place, clean and good services
Place is understaffed so what staff they do have is always rushing to get customers sorted, placed an online order for a single item and was told it was ready, confirmed curbside order as I didnt have a mask and waited 45mins to an hour with no response, called an waited 5 mins for a response. Had to go in and was promptly given order that was still in their cabinet.
Great selection , everything u need for pets , recommend it
Lots of stuff
Friendly service
Took my dog to be groomed, normally takes 90 minutes, almost 4 hours before he was ready. I told then he was an anxious dog but I guess that doesn't matter. I paid for mail grinding and his nails were not touched. Won't be going back for grooming.
Always friendly staff, enjoy the sales from time to time with their pet perks card.
Always a good experience with all the staff at Pet Smart
Best selection of Blue and Wellness pet food in the city.
Arthur’s grooming experience with Alicia was fantastic.
A pet-friendly pet store! Offers a multitude of healthy pet options and raw food. I love that they support SPCA adoptions instead of selling specific purebreds.
Lots of variety, friendly staff.
Very helpful staff assisted me in finding the proper products for my pet great service overall
My go-to store for my pets needs...i purchase their exclusive exquisicat pine pellets which is my preference over clay. The store will often have good sales for this product as well as other store items. A great reason the keep going there..sale prices!
Only really go for the grooming, my dog leaves happy so I can't complain, friendly staff.
Great staff and selection of pet products!
Friendly service and staff
Service is ok but whenever else buy fish from here they always die in a couple of days.
Great selection
If I could give 0 stars I would. The other week the young manager Simon I believe that was his name spook very rudely to me. His attitude was not pleasant and he had no idea what I was talking about, regarding my fish. He made me feel awful, as if I was wasting his time. Overall, just a very terrible experience. These are tough times but try and have patience with your costumers and a little compassion. Also please train your staff.
Knowledgable staff
Friendly staff that are truly passionate about pet and want their good !
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Very pleasant shopping experience
Great store! Amazing staff. :)
Great service as usual.
Some decent prices and despite the lack of employees the particular day we were there, the one and only cashier was very pleasant
Great service
Great store very well stocked
Friendly staff, stocks the brands I shop for, their classes are popular; the classes are full but I haven't had a personal experience with that side of the store. The line up for the till is usually a few minutes wait so don't expect to just walk up and go at the end of your shop.
Went here to buy a crate for our new puppy. Store associate Dan assisted me and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely shop here for future puppy needs!
Petsmart has an amazing variety for you to choose from. I have cats and a dog and they offer a great variety of high quality food and treats without animal byproduct meal and grain fillers. I use pellets for my cats and they have the best price for large bags of both recycled paper and pine pellets, I have yet to find a better price! Petsmart also offers an easy to use, and fast curbside pick up service.
Very friendly staff and have all the top brands of the food we use.
Great place tor all your pet needs
Very friendly
Shelves had next to no stock
Staff are great and helpful but it's hard to feed my reptiles when they never have superworms in. I do mean never, every time I've come by in the last few weeks there hasn't even been one container.
Great store not the biggest but has everything you need. Very helpful staff.
Helpful staff and good selection of anything you need for your pet
I've never had a problem finding what I'm looking for here. Staff is very helpful when asked.
A little pricy but good selection of products.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Help rescues in their community.
Great service!
Has lots of choice but super expensive
They always have what I need and the staff are very friendly and helpful!
Honest and reasonable price points great place for feeders as well as supplies
Horrid customer service from the management staff and people working in the fish and and reptile departments. Poor and false information given to push sales of diseased and dying animals. I do not suggest shopping here
Such a disappointment and a feeling of getting ripped off. Nanaimo petsmart usually does a good job of grooming my little dog. She has the pawdicure option. Nail trim and grinding. Spray with cologne, bandana, ears cleaned, hair on feet trimmed, and pads shaved. Main reason I go is for the nail trim, feet hair trimmed, and pads shaved. Other stuff is a bonus. The ears are a quick wipe out with water and cottonwall ball. In my mind the only thing done was the nail trim...maybe the grinding. Usually she smells nice after the spray.....no smell at all of cologne. Hair was not done on feet, pads not shaved, no bandana. I phoned to complain and was told that there is no bandana on the option. (There is according to the website and she usually gets it]. Finally the groomer admitted that she had forgotten the feet hair trim and pads as it had been a crazy day. I dealt with those 2 things when I got home. Not sure how she missed those 2 important items. She offered me a discount on the next visit. No more 25.00 pawdicure for my dog but will get the 13.00 nail trim in future. I can do the other stuff myself and a wipe out of ears with water and a cotton wool ball is not exactly difficult. Total rip off today. $25.00 gone. So if you decide to get this option discuss with the groomer what it entails.
Terrible the reptile care is abismal and just down right sad
Really good selection of merchandise. A bit more expensive than some other places but they have a loyalty program that helps.
I just wanted to say that Lisa at Petsmart in Nanaimo was just incredible. She went above and beyond for us when we adopted our kitten and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much????
Good service and excellent supplies.
A very clean and friendly store
The worst I could say is management doesnt seem to always have enough people on till. There's always a great selection, and staff have been very kind when I needed help to get heavy items to the till and to my car outside. I definitely appreciated that, and have continued shopping there knowing if I cant quite get something, someone will help me with dignity :)
Doing a great job there!
Friendly staff, quality fish.
Always has wat i am looking for.
Great customer service
Clean and service was good.prices could be lower
Love it.
Great staff. Always very friendly.
Tia is amazing! She goes above and beyond with customer service. She made my day, helping me with my fish tank issue.
Great place to bring your pet. Staff super friendly. You can adopt cats there. Lots of small animals. Large selection of foods, toys, accessories.
Took my little dog to get into the groomers and they were supposed to do nail trimming and “furminator” to get away all the fur- they called me 20 mins later and said my dog was being “too aggressive” and suggested I take him to a vet to get his nails trimmed so they can sedate him..... he’s had his nails trimmed before no problem.... and the fur thing they were supposed to do didn’t do anything, it’s been longer than a week and he’s still shedding like crazy. So not sure what the point of that is. Anyways, they still made me pay for I don’t know what. But horrible experience and never going back.
Great varieties of food for all pets. Employees are kind and some are extremely knowledgeable as well!
Very helpful & knowledgeable associate.
They have a wonderful selection
Great products! And awesome customer service!!
Jessy was wonderful with my 11 years old golden retriever for grooming. She talked to him really kindly. She mentioned me how it went and what she noticed. He was perfect. I will definitely go back there for her and suggest you choose her too.
Cashier was cool.
Great staff, they are friendly and knowledgeable!@
Good spot with a minimal invasivenes
Had what I wanted
Really great prices with decent selection
The fish are not always in good condition however for the other supplies they have quite a few varieties.
Pet friendly and everything we need.
Love petsmart but wouldnt ever use their grooming services !
Always super helpful and friendly.
Great place friendly environment
Took my large anxious doggy to be groomed and they handled him beautifully and did a great job. I'll be back with him again soon.
Expensive
Fish tanks were dirty, very limited selection anytime we are there for aquarium plants, they sell mondo grass as a aquarium plant when that's a lie it will melt fully submerged after a couple of months or sooner. There was barely any fish to select in the aquariums and dead fish not removed in multiple tanks, staff seem to lack basic knowledge on species of fish and plants they sell. Aquarium section for chemicals was empty on multiple visits. What's going on at this location?
Great prices and selection.
The staff here is top notch. Always friendly and there to help if needed. Never a fuss to exchange faulty or unnecessary products...I am happy to refer this store to anyone.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY!!! I wouldn't give this any stars if I could! I would like to urge everyone to think twice about supporting a big box pet store like this. Their aquarium department is absolutely atrocious. I talked to a manager her and she told me that the they have someone look at the tanks every morning which I don't believe for a second the amount of gunk and dead fish in the tanks shows me that no one really looks after these creatures. No animal even fish should be kept in conditions like these. Please think twice and and shop or adopt from someone who actually cares for their animals!
Always excellent service. People are super nice and knowledgeable. Love this store.
Always great
Very expensive
Petsmart is great for having lots of variety for all pets with good prices, helpful staff, membership rewards, and a return policy. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Upon reading these reviews looks to me like they are mostly left by people who visit the dog grooming area. as a fish keeper i have got to say the service here is exceptionally slow. a few of the staff there are not so friendly either. i had one woman named Karen straight up lie to my face and say i could not return something via computer, after someone previously told me i could. when i said this to her she got quiet and stomped around before completing my request. shady shady.... did not appreciate that! another girl named dayna can be very condescending and bossy. the guys i encountered here are a little bit better... very friendly and helpful. a big shoutout to one man named Ian, he was a treat to deal with! another shoutout to this other younger fellow who runs around like a chicken with his head cut off.. he obviously works very hard, and is always so friendly and awesome! often dead of dying fish in tanks... but other than that decent selection. they get their fish in on thursday, i believe and have them all out by friday. their cashiers in general seems very nice, and are lovely to deal with. nice selection of products
Great parking and lots of selection. Staff are mostly kids but are energetic. Best to do your research prior to arrival.
All you ever need pet wise
Fast, Friendly, Efficient and clean.
Everything you need in 1 store
The stuff are kind and patience, but not too many ferret supplies. Only has one brand diet or some utensil.
Exelent store
Offers a lot more products than other stores
Excellent.
Friendly staff, great selection
always sold out of the urinary cat food, employees never think to order enough even though it sells out every week..
Doesn't have stuff in stock
Wonderful place
Low stock
Lots of treats for all of your floofy friends
The store was clean, item I wanted was in stock, friendly staff.
Great staff, polite and knowlegeable
Friendly and very knowledgeable staff
Excellent store, great selection and friendly staff
This is a standard Pet Smart. Not the best prices but they are big enough for a good selection. Watch the speed bumps outside if you don't have much clearance on your car.
Not much to say friendly staff and pet stuff
Good service
Wellstocked
Knowledgeable friendly staff.
The selection is good. Some of the staff are helpful.
All your animal needs under one roof. Helpful staff.
The best place in Miramichi for your pet related items. They have the biggest selection, a grooming service and the staff seem knowledgeable.
Seriously the best service today from Tracey! Service with a smile AND a high five! She helped me save some money and made my morning !!
Found exactly what I was looking for. Great selection.
Just an amazing place for all your petd needs
Nice
Very friendly staff. Knowledgeable too.
Staff were very helpful
Great selection and service!
The staff made me and my dog feel welcome
Slow to get assistance. Understaffed and animal husbandry lacking as a result.
The staff were very knowledgeable about their products.
Had a great experience buying my hermit crabs! Chad is a great, helpful employee!
My 5 year old cat died in February and I had bought a few days before a lot of canned food. They were very nice on refunding me without a receipt. They just looked it up . Made it easier for me. Very compassionate people working there.
AMAZING the manager is a sweetheart
fine for dogs and cats but lacks good reptile supplies for anything large
Staff is so helpful... fish and live food, they are quick to get you what you need.
Staff are always super friendly and willing to help. Wide variety of products for all of your pets needs. Prices are good. I only shop for my pets at PetSmart (no I was not paid to say this). Only downside is that they can be out of stock of specific or special foods on occasion. But there are two locations, as of now, so if not available here there is also the East End store.
Love the fish section. Tons of selections at reasonable prices.
Very helpful and super friendly
Sold us rats that had lung infections :(
Prices were good staff were helpful
Helpful staff. Never enough people on till.
PetPerks help me save big time on brands I like for my pets

Easy to find things. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful.
My dog food is always in stock????
Knowledgeable staff, good selection of products.
Clean and friendly service
Always friendly and very helpful!!! Store layout is easy to maneuver around if you have a hyper pup!
Many items not stocked, just an empty space where item was at one time. I love my pet smart on the mainland and was hoping to have a similar experience here, sorry not happening.
Great staff, and a clean store.
Not liking the place stuff very unfriendly and helpful not very well
Has everything you need.
Dont stock much media for Fluval 306 filter system
Super helpful staff, willing to talk about animals and teach my children.
Love this store. The girls I've dealt with there have been awesome and extremely helpful, went above and beyond to help us when my daughters pet mouse passed away recently. Went in there to look and ended up going home with 2 new ones for her! Keep up the great work ladies.
Excellent service
Clean and tidy
I liked this place until they banned Pitties :/
Good pet store, but feels kinda like going to Walmart, 10mins to find what your looking for,20mins waiting on the cashiers to finally get the customers through the till
Helpful & compassionate advice & solutions for reactive rescue dogs.
Definitely very helpful staff and nice selection.
Great store
Overcharged grooming service without disclosure....And apparently some of groomers abuse dog...I figure that from the scary look in my dog's eyes when I picked him up,I know he got abused and very likely physical abusing.... I would never go there for any grooming service!!!! Never recommend the grooming service there!
Very helpful
Awesome service. Very friendly and knowledgeable
Love it there!
Good service. Love that I can bring my dog in to shop.
Loads of selection and convenient north end location.
Great selection and discounts.
Very friendly helpful staff. Particularly Sam.
Pretty typical PetSmart. The staff has been friendly the few times we've been in this location. Thumbs up.
Very good service !
Nice selection
They have good prices but usually don't have stock in
A very friendly place super knowledgeable staff and a great place to shop!!!!
Great store with great and friendly staff.
Friendly staff.
Great help!
Check your orders before you leave the drive thru. 9 out of 10 times the order is incorrect.
I went to pet smart to pick up some things for my new kitten that I will be getting in a few weeks. The lady that was in the aisle was not very helpful at all. I asked her if they had a list for what you need for a cat. She rattled off the usual stuff. She actually told me to Google it. I went around and picked out some things. She didn't check up on me once. I know this is not pet smart standards because I use to work at Pet smart. She had short wavy hair. In her 50's. When I got to the cashier Gabby was more like the pet smart I am use to. She was smiling and friendly. She even ran after me when I forgot my litter. The other lady who was more concerned with putting stock away could learn a thing or 2 about customer service from Gabby.
Very large range of pet supplies. A little pricey.
Good selection
The employees are always helpful and knowledgable.
Good selection for cat food..but often a but expensive...
Staff was awesome with my senior dog
Just about our only choice in Nanaimo now. But that is not a bad thing. Very helpful staff and good selection.
Lots of selection but expensive.
Good products. Wish they did not sell live animals.
Always has what I need.
Got what i needed quick and easy
Friendly helpful staff.
Toys
Leaving a review for the overall store... awesome return policy and staff are always very helpful. The lineup to pay does get quite long quite often... this could be managed a bit better ????
I find Pets mart great, always can get what you come in for.
Love this store. Great staff and reasonable prices
Always fun.
every time i buy a fish it dies wither 2 weeks of having it i have done everything right for they fish my tank is set up right every, i think petsmart dose something to they fish so that when you get then after 2 weeks or so they die so you will come and spend more money there so just please don’t get your fish from here,
Friendly staff and plenty of choices for your pets.
Good selection
Great place for pet-parents. "Pets' Mart", (as in Walmart for our beloved pets) or "Pet Smart", however you wish to interpret, it fits.
inaccurate product shelving - you are unaware what real price is until you get to cashout and you find your item is on the wrong shelf
Good service
Great service
The customer service!!!they even gave us a catalogue with many discounts in it
(Translated) Super there is everything !!! (Original) Super il y a de tout!!!
Very friendly staff plus i got everything i was looking for
Everything you need to keep your pets happy and the staff is fairly friendly.
Very friendly staff. Everything was clean. Prices were clearly listed on everything. Pet crates, cages or whatever they were in were very clean.
Great service had dog groomed and she turned out amazing
The service here was Very Friendly & a Great Help with helping me find what I was looking for.
Helpful staff great hours for evening shopping. Great selection
Friendly staff. Knowledgeable about their products
Good selection of pet foods and toys. They occasionally have good sales on my cats food, so that's nice.
Wide selection and friendly staff
I get my cat food from PetSmart. I have to drive an hour each way to pick it up. Very frustrating that I check their website prior to going, to make sure they have it in stock, only find it isn't. This had happened twice. I have however found other products in looking for and always happy with my purchases
Awesome selection and awesome staff. Definitely bring you dog.
Always have what I need and friendly
Great selection on fish decorations.
I love petsmart, so much stuff
Friendly staff always a great time there
I went to get a gold fish. What I got was a lecture from a young “marine biology student” lecturing me on needing a 3 ft tank for 3 goldfish that if I didn’t want to take care of them for 20+ years don’t buy. I get she’s passionate about fish. But then maybe go work at an aquarium and not a pet “store” hypocrite
Great place to buy any type of pet supplies
Great store
I’ve been meaning to make this post for a few weeks now. I recently got a new fish (never had one) and a new snake. A particular employee named Sara has gone above and beyond to help educate me on everything I need to know about my fish and helping me get the proper lighting etc for my snake. I highly recommend this gal getting a promotion or raise, I cannot say enough good things about her and her service over the past couple months. THANK YOU SARA
It was nice and cool in PetSmart on a hot day. That helps the shopping experience. Staff are friendly. Good selection of food for my dog. It all makes shopping easier!
Great place, great employees, great products and finally great prices. The best in Nanaimo.
I always find what I need here. Always great service too.
I wont buy fish there ever, i had to argue with the personal just to buy a red fish
Unfortunately I was not as aware of the need to bring in a veterinarian card showing that my dog has had all her rabies shots. So after travelling from Powell River to Nanaimo concurring the cost of a ferry and having my dog groomed as a 4 month old puppy and having a file with the store. I was informed that they could not take my word as proof my dog had her shots. (Basically insinuating I am a liar.) Being a Sunday I could not get my vet to fax the paperwork. I was refused service. But the kicker being the only Province that requires all dogs to have rabies shots is Ontario. As much as it is my fault for not bringing the paper. I was not properly informed of there policy.
When there are on sales, you always get nothing there.
Got my yorkie groomed there last week. They did an amazing job. They even helped me pick out some extra special treats for her birthday! Thanks guys!????
Friendly staff and my cat liked the place
Wow! What a pet emporium! I cannot imagine not finding a pet product I wanted at this super store of pet outlet! Totalky blown away at the array of pet stuff! Who knew petz needed all that! Well they do!
this place carrys most food selections for small pets.
Customer service was lousy. Could not find what I was looking for. Asked for assistance and was told I'll be right there. Waited, went back to the front and there she was showing pics on her phone. Gave up and bought what I thought might work. After I paid she told me where exactly the stuff was that I originally looked for. FAIL! Bosley is where you'll find me from now on!
Our typical pet food store
Nanaimo location is great. They carry more items than the Duncan location
Staff are great and friendly, but the deals never seem to be for reptiles too and prices seem high. More importantly, the feeder bug quality isn't great. Sometimes most or all are alive, but sometimes half or more are dead. I only buy from here since I haven't been able to find a different supplier.
I've always used Petsmart for my dog's grooming, first in S.Surrey and now Nanaimo. They have always done a wonderful job
They treat their employees badly and animals worse. Do not support this business!
It's what i'd expect from a PetSmart. No surprises, well organized, helpful staff.
The staff is so friendly and helpful. There are so many great products that your pet would love. Your pet is welcome in the store and there are lots of cleanup stations in the store
It's easy to find what you're looking for. There's staff around when you need help. The prices are pretty much the same as the other pet stores I've been to in the last year. Parking is no trouble. I wish they carried a better/bigger selection of some things, but that's where the internet has to come in, I suppose. It's just easier to make decisions on purchases if they're right there in front of you. ... Please get a better selection of dog and CAT clothing. ????
Always go there. Love it
I love this place
Great customer service, however the store is mostly aimed toward dog/cat owners than any other house pet.
Website says things are in stock when they actually aren’t. Multiple items throughout the store. The excuse “our inventory is messed up”. Then why don’t you fix it?
Great pet store with a wide variety of merchandise
Great service
Nice store
They always carry a great selection of toys for dogs and cats. I find the prices too high and they don't have enough sales. I only shop there when I can't find it somewhere else at a better price. The staff do know their products and are always helpful and knowledgeable. I do love that you can bring your pets on with you and everyone is very friendly.
Nice place to visit. Was having a little trouble with the engraving machine and an employee was quick to stop by and help without being asked even. Friendly staff.
Found everything I needed. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
A great place to get all your pet needs.
If you wanna spend 1200 on a cat brush sure do it animals r worth it
Alway friendly staff ans can always find what i am looking for
Staff here is friendly and helpful, and best price on fish, tanks and supplies in town.
Store was clean and organized
No stock. Ordered from their online site and somehow after giving payment I received an email telling me same product unavailable. Why couldn't the website tell me that before all my payment information was given.
Thay have lots of everything for everyone. People and pets.
Used grooming service - Great experience. Groomers very nice and patient.
Everything you need to keep your little fur family members happy and healthy.
This is the best pet store in town. Ultra friendly staff and super hospitable environment for my new puppy.
Amazing staff
Lots of great products
Love browsing in petssmart and seeing what new toys I can find for my fur babies
The staff is all very helpful and point me in the right direction. I love that pets are welcome.
Good selection, competitive prices, grooming is available by appointment.
Friendly staff. Respectful and beautiful personality.
Help me with the things for my cats and they actually worked No Doubt
Always have what we need and friendly
Good people and great service
Got what I needed but understaffed
Good selection of pet supplies, staff were friendly and knowledgeable
Great staff!
Great staff. Brenda is our dogs groomer. Buddy loves going to her and she does a great grooming on him
Depressing how little stock thei had, I had to settle for a collar for my dog... I had much higher expectations as they usually have so much to choose from... don't know why it went downhill!
Wonderful selection of every goodie you need. For your special pet. Knowledgeable staff to answer your questions. Enjoy!
Unfortunately they did not have what I was looking for but had great service in helping me try to find it . Usually they do have what I'm there to purchase but this day they didn't. Would go back though because the service is good.
The staff is super friendly, Charles my dog goes nuts when we pull in the parking lot, he acts like it’s a singles bar for pets!
Great ????
Love it employees are awesome ????
Geat puppy classes, dog friendly, dog grooming is done here as well. Good quality products, knowledgeable staff, healthy options for your pets
Lots of stuff here for pets of all kinds
Great place for finding things for your pets
Super friendly people, great service
I usually find the majority of the staff to be knowledgeable and really take their time to help you with whatever animal question you may have from a proper leash for my dog to which rabbit food is a better choice. I appreciate their wide range of knowledge of many different species. I dislike how some or their ads are stated. Also, they will leave up a tag with a deal but at the register tell you that deal has ended and you have to pay full price. They should honor the sale tags they have up or take them down promptly. There are also a few staff members, one dark haired, middle aged woman in particular who I am pretty sure is a manager, who are INCREDIBLY RUDE and CRANKY all of the time. It is surprising to me that someone so rude could keep a job for any period of time, especially one that entails customer relations!
Petsmart is the best! I adopted one of their fancy rats, unfortunately he ended up getting sick and they said that they're going to take him to the vet and make sure he's all better then I get to take him home again! Never had this great of service anywhere else.
Well stocked store. Lots of staff. Fairly busy place at times
Standards petsmart a bit expensive but good selection. The groomers seemed to be busy but I never have used them.
Good but seems to be out of many things.
Great store, frequent deals, combine offers with no BS
Good service. Do not buy fish from here.
Great service, Aquarium staff are eager to help and always have great recommendations.
Good service
Great store. Helpful staff
