I was shopping to replace my recently deceased Beta fish and decided that I should make a trip to our local PetSmart store. I was able to easily locate exactly what I was looking for and get all of the accessories that I needed to set up my tank. The staff was friendly and helpful when I got to the register to pay for my purchase. I thought the prices were pretty decent and I am definitely happy with my new Beta. He is happy to get out of that little container and have space to move.
Great store with the best groomers. Shandra had been taking care of our dogs for years while we are in Rapid City for the summer. All of the staff is friend and efficient. Store is organized well and there is usually plenty of staff available. They are quick to open additional registers when needed. Would highly recommend and will go again.
We rescue cats and have gotten many fixed there. Great experience 👍 thanks 😊
Great place to go lots of great deals and furry creatures and fish
A good store, but some items are spendy!
Staff is great!!! Gets 3 stars just because the prices are high and inventory is low..
Great experience! My dog looked and smelled so much better (haha) after his grooming with Zach (groomer at PetSmart Rapid City).
I waited weeks for an appointment. Got there at the appointed time this morning and waited outside the salon drop off area for at least 20 minutes while two employees dealt with another customers unruly dogs before me. One of those other dogs had just bit the groomer on the hand. Once I was allowed inside the now irritated groomer looked over my cocker spaniel and claimed she would need to shave her because she allegedly found mats under my dogs arm pits and chest. I was shocked to say the least since I regularly comb my indoor dog and I had thoroughly combed my dogs coat before bringing her in to avoid this very issue because of a past incident. (A groomer erroneously completely shaved my dog 3 years ago). I reached down and tried to find the mats she claimed were there and could only find one very minor mat under one arm pit. I inquired why she couldnt use a mat splitter on that mat and she said that it would hurt the dog so she needed to shave my dogs legs and chest. She added that I could find another groomer to do the dog but she wouldnt use a splitter. She then condescendingly brought up the 3 year old shaving incident and started arguing that the former employee had received my husbands permission to shave my entire dog, which was absolutely untrue. My husband was standing right there and was very insulted that she insinuated that he was a liar. It was very clear that she harbored a grudge on behalf of that employee from 3 years ago and didnt want to groom my dog even though I had taken my dog back to Petsmart several times since without incident and never had a problem with Petsmart in CA prior to the 2018 shaving incident. I decided to walk out of the salon and find the manager to have him feel the dog himself so he would know that she was manufacturing an excuse to not groom my dog today. He felt my dog and was perplexed and apologized but that was the extent of it. It seems that shaving and bathing is the preferred method of grooming at this Petsmart. I will never take my dog back to the Rapid City PetSmart and I will not use any of their products or services in the future.
They do a great job of grooming our Cockapoo. Id recommend them to others.
Well stocked and everything needed to spoil your pet.
Its a PetSmart. If youre looking to pickup stuff for your cat or dog its great, but the way they keep their reptiles is just subpar and thats saying the least. Its a fine place to get supplies, but if youre looking to get a new pet, make sure to do your research before hand and dont impulse buy.
Quick to find what we needed and we were pleased our dog tags were made right then.
Awesome customer service! Always go here over their competitors.
Staff was very friendly and helpful so that I could find what I was looking for
Awesome place to get stuff for the puppies and kittens.
Very friendly and helpful staff members. Good selection
Friendly staff. They had an interesting fresh water tank with changing color lights. It was pretty cool.
Top notch customer service!!! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and always willing to help. Keep up the great work.
Had very little pets however they did have cute kittens
Took my cat in for grooming. He came back trimmed where he had badly needed it, well brushed with his ears cleaned and nails trimmed better than I have ever managed. The staff were personable and told me what to expect before they staryed and answered questions on how my cat handled his first professional grooming experience.Price was reasonable as well. 5 stars
Great selection. My favorite pet store to go to
The grooming department is terrible. I went to get my cat a haircut, but first it took them almost 2 weeks to call me back and when we made the appointment it was later in the month, know comes the day of the appointment I arrive on time for the appointment (mind you all the calls I got to make sure I was going to the appointment and personal calls from the staff about the appointment) I walk in and with an attitude she wanted us to wait outside I understand about she was finishing up on a cat but I dont appreciate the attitude so we waited then they just call me while I was in the store to tell me they have to cancel for some kind of a pathetic excuse so I wasted my time coming to the store for nothing so I really recommend to anyone else to go somewhere else so you are not wasting your time with unprofessional idiots.
The staff here is always super nice. And I like that I know where everything is. They dont move stuff around.
I online order, pickup and go. Very convenient.
So much better than petco. Better staff better prices.
Quick, easy, efficient and friendly! Earned points on my purchase, I was in a hurry, so ordering online and doing the curbside allowed me to get what I needed and get home to my puppies! Terrific service, keep up the great work!
Dont take very good care of their fish. Several were just floating dead into tank
The staff is absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable and caring.
Usually I have a good grooming experience in the grooming department but not today, my experience was very unprofessional. The Groomer made snarky unnecessary comments about how “difficult” my puppy was BEFORE she even started with the service stating that I should get my dog fixed so he would be more calm. Then called after she finished grooming him to state how she couldn’t get his face and how no one else will take him next time except one other person (delivery is everything) . Dogs can pick up on bad vibes. I do not recommend Alicia J.
Has a Cat leash and harness prepackaged, just what I needed!
I love petsmart.
Didnt have many popular fish, was greeted at the door but not in the fish department. The lady I did ask was nice and answered my questions. It was clean and the tanks look great.
I always love coming here. They have the nicest most helpful staff. And my Blue Heeler enjoys it too.
We bought a ball python and shes 6 months old now our experience at PetSmart was great!
Theyre very helpful and if my dog doesnt like something I can return it for full price.
Your cut on my Miniature schnauzer was terrible
This store informed me that they only sell animal as pets not to feed. I let store know my pet snake needs food too. They sell snakes but not its food.. lol
Heads up - this place won’t sell you goldfish unless you have a huge tank.
Sorriest experience we ever had. Had an appointment for our dog cooter. They would not take him in when we arrived
I noticed while shopping around, Alicia J was very rude when servicing a customer and her puppy. Instead of doing her job, she gave out opinions that weren’t needed. Not every dog is easy to groom, but for a dog groomer to tell someone they should find a new groomer or get their dog fixed is very unprofessional. Will NOT recommend anyone I know to get their pets groomed here.
Polite greeting, clean and polite staff.
The store manager neglect to make sure the store was open at the appropriate time. His excuse was he believed a cashier who hadnt shown up would unlock the door upon their arrival/ opening time. As a manager its your job to verify what your employees do he should have made sure the employee was on time/ before the store opened instead he trusted a untrustable employee
Great selection of pet products.
Pet friendly, within reason.
Nothing eventful. You are relatively on your own in these stores. Limited staffing keeps them very busy and hard to find, but the majority of the store is laid out pretty self explanatory..cats on the left..dogs on the right..reptiles, fish, rodents or birds up front and to their respectable sides. Found what I needed in the back wellness area for dogs (left side). Checkout was friendly.
Im not one to write reviews, but I feel particularly compelled. I had an 8 a.m. grooming appt. The store manager didnt show up to let customers and employees in the store until 8:05 in below zero weather. She neglected to turn the automatic doors on so I had to pry them open/close upon entering and exiting. (Im not a princess, but COME ON.) Waited for 15 minutes outside the grooming office only to find out that the head groomer called in without notice, and wed have to cancel. (I question why she couldnt have informed us this as we waited?) I will note, the grooming staff was apologetic, as its not their fault management is running a rinky dink operation. A good reminder to GROOM LOCAL. Dont waste your time with big box stores that pay absolutely no care to a customers time.
Love it! They have everything we need.
Where I go to get pet stuff. OK.
Kicked me and my mom out for not wearing face coverings, we werent hurting anybody. Had a great conversation with the fish keeper girls and another woman that needed some guppy advice. Very disappointed with how the lady that insisted that we comply or we will have to leave. We both feel very discriminated against. We will take our business elsewhere.
Friendly knowledgeable staff who are helpful and genuinely care about your pets.Many thanks for the advice on otto care. Im still waiting to see if theyll realize the algae wafers and blanched spinach is food, but Im not giving up yet!Update: my otocinclus really love Wardley Shrimp pellets formula! Thank you to the fish section staff!I would like more live plants, but the selection in all of Rapid City for true aquatic plants are quite limited. This location has a fair selection, but not the plants that are most suited for my current setup.
Good place for pet supplies. They dont really have any animals for purchase other than fish because of covid restrictions.
A wide variety of terrariums on hand and decorations as well! I went to Petco at first and they were lacking in tanks, aquatic accessories, reptile accessories, and so on. I was extremely pleased that I could find everything that I needed and extras as well. The associate was extremely helpful and made the experience there wonderful. I will be returning whenever I am in the area.
Great deals and associates are always willing to help you out
Petsmart is ok but they always have a huge line at checkout. I prefer petCo
Friendly staff. Always there to help. They take good care of my needs and they do price matching.
Picked up a couple fish, friendly service. Was a little busy.
Nice clean store. Well stock. Nice staff.
Good selection, and service.
Me and my fiancé went to petsmart yesterday evening around 6:30 pm. We went to go check out what cats they had up for adoption, after looking we noticed a cat in the corner with blood covering their paws and dripping from its mouth. I went to notify the manger on duty who said “ I’ll get someone over there .” I went back to the cat, my fiancé pointed out it’s collar was stuck in its mouth. I went to go tell the manger AGAIN that there was a cat who was bleeding and needed help. He finally said okay I’ll go take a look. Not only am I HORRIFIED at their treatment of the animals in their care but after the collar was removed the manager came up to us to tell us “thank you! We wouldn’t have noticed that until closing!” How are they not checking in their animals on a regular basis? I will never EVER shop at this location again. I am truly horrified that they treat their animals like that. If someone brings an issue like an injured animal up the manager it should be looked at IMMEDIATELY! Especially since the manager was stocking shelves. He could have helped sooner. I hope the manager gets talked to about how he needs to manager his store better. This shows a severe lack of care and compassion to the animals.
Delicious and awesome service
Unfortunately, this is not a safe place to shop while COVID is an ongoing problem. If you have to shop here, do curbside or have it mailed to you. I wouldnt recommend this store location.
Dog grooming at its best
Really clean staff was very chill
Always very friendly and helpful staff. A few of the terrariums were empty because people bought the animals out of stock, but too be expected.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Pricing was fair at this location.
This a nice store for pet needs clean well lit and the staff are great.
Good place for pet supplies
First off, I doordash so this review is from that perspective. They were very understaffed when I was there but they did have the clients order ready and waiting once I got through the line. The employees were quite knowledgeable as well. They offered good service but they need more people. I still reccomend the place.
Nice and friendly store
Helpful staff
Very helpful and know what their talking. Will be back again.
Good stock for all your critters.
Great labels in store. Found what I was looking for in short order.
Great customer service Very Clean and organized
Absolutely rude towards us for not wearing a face mask!
They dont allow you to visit the pets up for adoption! They expect you to point out the one you want without interacting with it, which is a terrible way to choose a pet. Its a shame that this pet store apparently isnt run by pet-loving people.
Friendly, helpful staff. Decent prices.
Very nice and friendly. I appreciate they offered to carry my 40 pound bag of Bird food to my car
The service was great! They food was decent for the price. Half priced margaritas on Wednesday, make sure you only get the house margarita or you dont get the half price and itll cost you $6.
Very helpful and friendly employees
PetSmart is one of my favorite stores they always have what you need are always there with an associate to help you. I adopted my two cats there. I am so grateful to PetSmart thank you.
Great staff! Very helpful, professional and courteous! Love going into the store! Online ordering is perfect! Definitely my favorite pet store!
Great place for you and your dog or cat to shop for there goodies.
Its really about how people are treated . This location seemed to have no leadership structure to speak of during my visit . In the 10 minutes it took me to find my item, the line of six people had not moved . I would have been livid had I waited in line to give them money as there were others who could have helped take money. As I finally got to my turn to give the corporate giant my hard earned money, the cashier mechanically went through the stereotype phrases and then began having an passionate conversation with a co-worker about other team members and schedules while the now fillld bag lay out of my reach, the now off duty employee reaches to give it to me while the young woman who I just gave my money to could not be more dis interested in her job.In my opinion, we should do what we do with passion to better ourselves .This was certainly not the case for PetSmart or this immature team member that was there for a check and no other reason .
Clean, organized. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Theyve got it all. Kind of wish people wouldnt bring dogs in if they are aggressive. Aside from that the place is awesome
Love it there staff is awesome
A short trip to PetSmart turned out to be almost an hour trip, but thanks to Jessie, it was all smooth and very enjoyable! He was very helpful, very kind, and was patient with us. He was able to get us everything we needed within a timely manner. My first visit to this store was nothing but pleasant!
We talked to a guy named Chris ...was very courteous and knowledgeable!! Helped us find fish oil products for our furbaby and than was also our cashier !! Too notch service and he is also a veteran!! Thank you for your service... and thank you for your service on our visit!!
I highly DO NOT recommend them. My dog got kennel cough there and they took no responsibility nor made any calls to people warning them. In the past have had issues with them not keeping vaccine records and making it our responsibility to call and have it fixed on their end when it is their job to do so. We were brushed off and tried to reschedule and they said there was no way to do it and we could wait another 3 weeks for their mistake. Also they forget to do services that we requested and paid for and have had to stay longer for them to actually do them. Worst customer service.
The groomers did a good job grooming our 2 dogs.
Took my 4yr old female German Shepherd “KC” in for a grooming. Rod did a wonderful job and they took great care of my loved dog. Thank you very much and we will be back for all of our grooming needs.
Usually have what I need. Clean place with a greeting when you walk in. The manager is on the floor and is friendly and helpful
This is an excellent pet store.. Every time Ive come in, the staff is friendly, and you can always spot an employee quickly and easily if you need help at all. Ive always had a great experience with the staff in getting good information when Ive needed . Ive found the prices are usually lower than some competitors in the area, and members get deals and points to use often. Thanks for always providing a great environment!
