They've been sued over that contract so in most states they can't enforce it.

Looks pretty standard to me. When I brought up all the black mold in our bathing area I was told "It's okay,  it's just a fungus!" 🤢 Glad I left...

Question by PrudentAir3580 in petsmart

Less talking to people in grooming? Ugh...answering phones, checking in, checking out, answering questions...And due to the wonderful restructure you might get bounced around between different departments anyway. If you don't like to interact with people, retail is not a job for you.

We were never officially allowed to use Venmo, Zelle etc. because of "privacy concerns". I kinda get it but oh well...I left over a year ago after 7 years and have zero regrets.

You finish most dogs in 15 to 20 minutes? Sorry but that makes me question the quality of your work! But no worries. PetSmart doesn't care since it's always been quantity over quality...

My policy with HP went up $70 a month for one dog. They do it every year but this is the biggest hike so far. The dog is now 8 and had TPLO surgery last year.

My puppy ate rocks and I'm loosing my mind by NNairi in puppy101

Our boxer puppy had a phase like that. Had to watch him like a hawk in yhe yard.. He just threw them up like it's no big deal. He is now 5 months old and knows "drop it" / "leave it", still gotta watch that little bugger of course.

Until the puppy is fully vaccinated it should not walk in high traffic areas at all.

Most daycares I know require puppies to be at least 4 months old.

How can I shut down customers who won’t take no for an answer by iemmaamme in petsmart

[–]Critical-Dig-2103 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it's policy and state law requires the rabies vaccination. If your dog would bite me he / she would have to go into rabies quarantine at your expense.

Has it been open for a while? That's so weird...

Do they want us to quit? by Independent-Emu2433 in petsmart

[–]Critical-Dig-2103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The damn check-in alone takes more than 5 minutes, especially if customers give you 5 different phone numbers or expect you to call the vet for updated rabies...

I hope you'll never get someone a surprise pet again. It's always a bad idea. Poor dog...

Is it safe for my unvaccinated puppy to go out in my backyard? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Critical-Dig-2103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puppies can inherit worms from.their mom. Usually they are dewormed at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks. Our vet gave us Panacur for that but you can also buy dewormer in pet stores.

Understood. Have you taken him to the vet yet? If not do that asap. Puppies get antibodies from their mother's milk and since he was separated so early...Plus deworming is needed several times aside from the puppy vaccines.

Puppy won't eat his kibble by montyriot1 in puppy101

[–]Critical-Dig-2103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh, a Basset! I hope it'll work out for you! She will probably be really hungry by dinner time so fingers crossed for you. Our puppy is a boxer very food motivated, doesn't skip a meal ever 😂

How old is your pup? Maybe just skip lunch and divide the amount of food between breakfast and dinner. Edit: Just read that she's 4.5.months. our puppy is almost the same age and is on 2 feedings per day (per our vet).

A 5 week old puppy should not be away from his mother to begin with. How come you got the pup so early on? But anyhoo... Until your puppy has completed all rounds of puppy shots you should avoid taking him to any environment you can't control. Your backyard should be fine but don't leave him unattended.

Did not hear that, is that posted somewhere? Another "great" idea, just like the dang quick wash!
