Inept uninformed Managment
First off this is not against employees, or Petsmart in general. I am a former employee that worked in the pet hotel at Petsmart in Lone Tree Colorado. Our pets have always been treated well for years, so no complaint there. However I made a reservation for our intact male Rhodesian Ridgeback for 10 days, with Kong and playtime daily. The last time we boarded our male, the bill was almost $1000. Not a issue. Our female Rhodesian went into heat, causing our male great distress, and we needed to separate him until she was over her heat period. Upon arrival after driving 2 1/2 hours to get there, I was turned away because our male did not have a record of his current DAPP2 shot. I showed all the paper work for his immunization, including his Titers results from Kansas University, showing his immune system is at the same level as if he had his DAPP2 shots. It was apparent that black ink on paper showing he had a shot was more important than having scientific proof he was immunized. Talk about infuriating! So I drove 2 1/2 hours home. This will be my last visit to Petsmart for boarding, or anything else. So we visited Rover.com, found a sitter that lives 45 minutes from our home to watch our boy for the next 10 days, and saved $600.00. Not only that but at Petsmart a intact dog cannot interact with other dogs (their policy) but only a handler. Now Cam has two other dogs to play with in a huge back fenced yard, and freedom in the home to interact with humans 24/7. Oh and the kicker was when I argued my position with Titers vs a physical shot, I was informed that the manager went to college and was very smart. I doubt he had the skill set or knowledge of a Licensed Veterinarian.
