This is a great deal for me, since Charlie will definitely go through 10 bags by the time the year is up! Thanks for putting this together. I will need to look more closely. I can hardly tell the difference, but my wife is a firm believer in PetSmart.
Nicely done article, Jacob. Like Amanda though, we buy dog food at the grocery store. Although both stores are within driving range, it would need a dedicated trip to visit either one.
Robert — Thanks for reading. Does your wife find that Petsmart is a better shopping experience or that it is cheaper? Funny about Money — I bet that is good! Petsmart is a lot cheaper than petco!! Wellness dog food will be on sale once in a while at petsmart, with wellness coupons, i only paid 7 bucks for 4lbs small breed dry dog food!
Thanks for reading Amanda! Do you find that the majority of items you buy are cheaper at Petsmart? Or just that one item mainly? I have 2 dogs that are very dear to me, but I will agree with drawing the line at getting into debt for chemotherapy treatment for either of them, although it would break my heart to see them go if they had cancer. Thank you for the tips on pricing between the two pet stores; I will keep them in mind!
RetireonTime — Thanks for reading and commenting! That includes the big box retailers like wal-mart or petsmart. So with the price matching on top of every 11th bag free, petsmart prices do not hold a candle to petcos. Monique — Thanks for sharing that. My girlfriend right now buys the Blue Buffalo dog food for her Greyhound, Charlie, and uses the buy 10 — get one free deal! Quite nice! We like supporting our local folks, the service is excellent small-town service!

I have been to Petsmart before and have found that many of their items are a lot cheaper than Petco. Also, Petsmart does price matching too.
Not only that, they also have thousands of items on sale every week, constantly gives out coupons in the mail havent seen much from petco! As such, I havent seen Petco come out with a coupon savings book for puppies either. Even the customer service has been much more friendly and helpful there than Petco. Overall, I feel like Petsmart is the better store. Another thing too, a study once conducted had a petsmart store ratio to petco store ratio and it found that for every one petco store that exists, there are 2 petsmart stores.
What about the fact that Petsmart has a limited selection. But they are reticent to carry anything by Natural Balance. At least they have some good stuff. But they should stop playing favorites with what they carry.
This is very interesting. I have shopped at both Petco and Petsmart, but mostly Petco because it is closer to home.

Both Petco and PetSmart offer various levels of training classes for puppies and adult dogs. PetSmart does not offer online classes.

Prices depend on the breed of your pet and whether it is a puppy, kitten, or adult.
With PetSmart, you can go to their grooming service website , enter your location, and the breed and age of your pet, and you will be able to see the prices of the grooming services available to your pet. With Petco, you have to call your local Petco grooming salon before your visit to receive an estimated price. Let us take a look at these 2 programs in more detail.

The bad news is that they both sell other live animals such as hamsters, gerbils, chinchilla, guinea pigs, and more.
Both of them also sell animals that can be used as live foods — rats, mice, and crickets. Based on these facts, we would say it is a tie. Their average prices are comparable.
They both offer a price match guarantee. So you should always comparison shop before you buy. In other areas such as rewards, training classes, grooming services, and ethics, the 2 chains are also mostly similar with some minor differences.
For example, only Petco offers online training classes and only PetSmart offers grooming services for cats. The best pet store is the pet store that works best for you.
