I am beyond disgusted and will be following up with OSPCA for further inquires of Petsmart policy and procedures. I was left a voice mail to pick my dog up from grooming services in approx 30 mins. on Sunday June 27. By the time I got there, a chain of big box stores were evacuated with alarms blaring. I frantically went up to an associate asking me where my dog was and they informed me that my dog was left inside. After approx 30 mins, fire department came and deactivated alarms. I was told that there were 5 other dogs left inside as well. On there website it states "We keep kennel time as minimal as possible, and there is someone on hand to check on your pet frequently". If this is part of Petsmart policy, why was there not an associate available to evacuate my dog (and the FIVE other dogs locked in crates)? Im not only disgusted with Petsmart policies to leave dogs inside when there is a potential fire (this was clarified by a district leader at Petsmart - but also other things he said on our phone conversation. Im curious to know if the phone call we had was being recorded because he was also talking to me while driving - really shows how much he cared about my dogs wellbeing. I informed him that my dog was still in distress 2 days later and that i will be following up for a vet to see how i can help my dog after his trauma. The district leader dismissed my feelings when i asked how else he will be following through with fixing this situation. He laughed as said - what else did you expect? This was a place that i brought my dog to FREQUENTLY - every toy - every treat. He said id understand if you dont want to come back here anymore.
