PetSmart Grooming Experience

[zoomer]

I hate Petco and Petsmart groomers. They treat the dogs there like crap. Before and even more after you made this thread, I will not take any of my dogs now or in the future to Petco or Petsmart!

You may have had bad experiences with them but one of our own is employed there. That's where wolf_q works and she would never treat a dog that way. I had a great experience with Keegan while there.

I wouldn't generalize like that. The PetCo I worked at had AMAZING groomers who did an AMAZING job. Grant it, there are ALWAYS going to be a few bad apples in the bunch, but I don't think its fair to generalize that they all "treat their dogs like crap", because that just is not the case.

I agree with what others have said. You can't generalize like that as it isn't far. Not every Petsmart or Petco groomer is bad and most are great at what they do. I was always taught that until you know someone who can't judge the person's character and it's true. You simply can't judge a group of more then 100 people on just 1 person, and how can you say that you hate ALL petco and petsmart groomers? Do you know them personally? Have you seen every single groomer treat a dog "like crap".

I'm sorry to hear you and Fenway had a bad experience but around here, that is the average price you'd pay (canadian prices anyway) and the amount of time spent at the groomers is just as long, if not longer. It does sound like they didn't do what was expected of them though. Hopefully the next time you get Fenway groomed, it will be better.

Did you ever stop to think that there is atleast one person (and yes, there actually is - she's a wonderful groomer & person) on the board that groom at Petco?? I think it's extremely unfair to generalize like that. As others have said, yes there are going to be bad groomers but there are also plenty of good groomers too.
