What Time Does PetSmart Open and Close? Store Hours 2026
Most PetSmart stores open at 9am and close at 9pm Monday through Saturday, and open 10am to 7pm on Sunday. Grooming salons often open earlier, at 7am, and curbside pickup ends at 7pm every day.
Hours can change by location and around holidays. Here’s the typical schedule, how services differ and how to check your own store’s hours.
PetSmart Store Hours
| Day | Typical hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 9am to 9pm |
| Saturday | 9am to 9pm |
| Sunday | 10am to 7pm |
| Curbside pickup, every day | Store opening to 7pm |
These are the hours listed on PetSmart store pages we checked in October 2026, including stores in California and Arizona. Individual stores can differ, so confirm before a late trip.
Sunday is the day that catches people out. With a 7pm close, a Sunday evening run for food can end at locked doors.
Service Hours Inside the Store
| Service | Typical opening time |
|---|---|
| Grooming salon | 7am |
| Veterinary care | 8am |
| Training | 9am |
| Adoptions | 9am |
Each store page lists when services open, but closing times vary by service and day. Click the service on your store page for the full schedule.
The early salon start lets you drop off a dog before work. Our grooming prices guide covers costs by breed and service.
Vet clinics like Banfield are run separately and keep their own hours. Our Banfield at PetSmart guide covers booking and plans.
Grooming Salon Hours and Appointments
Salons often open at 7am, two hours before the store. That early window is the easiest time to get a full groom done before work.
Appointments are recommended, especially on weekends, and walk-ins depend on space. Full grooms take about 3 to 4 hours, so a late drop-off may not fit before closing.
Quick services like nail trims take about 15 minutes. They’re easier to fit in later in the day.
Adoption Center Hours
Adoption centers inside PetSmart are run with PetSmart Charities and local rescue groups. Many store pages list adoptions opening at 9am.
Rescue partners may only have dogs on site during set adoption events, often on weekends. Call the store or check the rescue’s page before you go, as our PetSmart adoption guide explains.
PetsHotel and Doggie Day Camp Hours
PetsHotel and Day Camp are only at some stores, and their check-in and pickup times are set by location. Your store page shows them when the service is offered.
Arrive early for check-in, since vaccine checks and an assessment take time. Our guides to PetsHotel and Doggie Day Camp cover each service in detail.
Holiday Hours
PetSmart stores close on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Stores usually close early on Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Other holidays often bring regular or shortened hours, and PetSmart doesn’t publish one schedule for every store. Our PetSmart holiday hours guide covers each date.
Stock up on food and litter a few days before a holiday closure. Online orders also slow down around those dates.
How to Check Your Store’s Hours
- Go to the store locator on petsmart.com
- Enter your city or ZIP code
- Choose your store and select the store details
- Check store hours, curbside hours and each service’s hours
The store page shows the week’s hours and when each service opens today. It also lists the store’s phone number.
The PetSmart app shows the same information for your saved store. Calling is best around holidays or bad weather.
Do Hours Change by Location?
Most stores follow the 9 to 9 schedule, but a few keep different hours because of mall rules, local laws or lower traffic. Always check the page for your exact store.
Severe weather, power outages and remodels can also change hours with little notice. Check before driving out during storms.
Curbside and In-Store Pickup
Curbside pickup runs from store opening until 7pm every day, even when the store is open until 9pm. Plan pickups for earlier in the day.
You’ll get a notice when your order is ready. Our delivery and pickup guide explains pickup windows and delivery options.
Shopping Near Closing Time
Arrive at least 30 minutes before closing if you need help, such as with live fish, heavy bags or a pet purchase. Live animal sales can take time.
Associates start closing tasks in the last hour, so lines can be shorter but help is limited. Grab what you need and check out a few minutes early.
Shopping Online Anytime
Petsmart.com is open around the clock for orders, Autoship and gift cards. You can order late at night and pick up the next day.
Same-day delivery lets you choose a delivery window when you check out, where it’s available. That’s handy when your store is already closed for the night.
Autoship sends food and litter on a schedule, so you’re less likely to run out on a holiday. Our Treats Rewards guide explains the points you earn on each order.
Best Times to Shop
| Time | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Weekday mornings | Quiet aisles and staff free to help |
| Weekday evenings | Busier after work hours |
| Saturday afternoons | Usually the busiest time of the week |
| Sunday evenings | Short window before the 7pm close |
Shopping with your dog is easier when the store is calm. Our guide to bringing your dog inside PetSmart has tips for a smooth visit.
Timing Mistakes to Avoid
- Planning a late Sunday trip when the store closes at 7pm
- Ordering curbside pickup for after 7pm
- Showing up on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day
- Assuming the vet clinic keeps store hours
- Booking a groom late in the day, when the salon may be full
For grooming, the first appointment of the day often runs most on time. Book early slots well ahead, especially on weekends.
After-Hours Pet Emergencies
PetSmart stores and in-store vet clinics aren’t emergency hospitals. If your pet is hurt or very sick after hours, call a 24-hour emergency vet.
Save the number of your nearest emergency clinic in your phone now. Searching for it during an emergency wastes time.
If you’re out of food late at night, many grocery stores carry basic pet food. It can tide your pet over until PetSmart opens.
Planning a Visit Around Your Schedule
Book grooming, training and vet visits for the same morning to cut trips. Grooming at 7am, a vet visit at 8am and shopping after 9am fits into one stop.
Weekday mornings are the calmest time for nervous pets and new puppies. Avoid Saturday afternoons if your pet gets overwhelmed in crowds.
Write your store’s hours and phone number in your phone notes. That saves a search the next time you need supplies in a hurry.
