The following is just one of many examples of PetSmart and their discrimination “policies” targeting Pit Bull type dogs.

”Well PetSmart, you officially lost my business forever.
I received an email the other day letting me know that PetSmart was holding a puppy play date for puppies 10-20 weeks and I decided immediately that was how we were going to spend our Sunday afternoon with Dale.
We got to PetSmart and went back to the Doggie Day Camp and Dale saw all those friends to play with and started wiggling his butt a mile a minute. We were SO excited!! We started to give our information to get him registered in the system and then the question came up, “What kind of dog is he?”
Considering this is a PET STORE, I didn’t think it would ever be an issue that Dale is a pit bull, but to be cautious, I said,”He’s a mutt.” The woman came around and started playing with him and kissing him and said, “Is he mixed with a pit bull?” So I asked her if that was an issue and she could instantly see I was upset and went and got her manager. The manager came out, took one look at Dale and told us they couldn’t accept Dale.
She informed us that PetSmart Corporate policy doesn’t allow any type of pit bull in group activities....
excuse me WHAT?!?!! This is a FOUR MONTH OLD PUPPY and you are turning him away from an event that YOU INVITED US TO.
All while this was going on, Dale was just looking in to the play room with all those puppies that were staring back at him waiting for him to come play. My heart shattered into a million pieces as I had to turn around and walk out.
It baffles me how a pet store can promote, advertise, send me 4-5 emails a day, and happily take my money, but when I try to take advantage of an opportunity to socialize my puppy and give him a great day, I get turned away based on a breed restriction.
But don’t worry PetSmart, I will NEVER waste my money at your stores again. #LetDalePlay“
