Phoenix, 21001 N Tatum Blvd Phoenix, AZ 85050

If you’re a pet parent in the North Phoenix or Scottsdale area, the PetSmart at 21001 N Tatum Blvd is likely already your home away from home. Located right in the heart of Desert Ridge Marketplace, this isn't just a massive retail store; it’s a full-blown community hub for animals and the people who love them. For those of us living in the 85050 zip code, it’s the ultimate "one-stop shop" where you can grab a specialty bag of kibble and get your pup’s vaccines handled all before meeting friends for lunch at one of the nearby restaurants.


What really sets this specific location apart is the incredible range of services under one roof. It features a Banfield Pet Hospital, meaning you have full-service veterinary care right inside the store. Beyond medical needs, they offer a high-end Grooming Salon with academy-trained stylists and a PetsHotel for overnight boarding. If you have an energetic puppy that needs to burn off some steam, their Doggie Day Camp is a local favorite—it’s great knowing your dog is socializing safely while you’re out running errands or at work.


For those looking to add a new member to the family, this PetSmart is well-known for its adoption center and regular weekend events with local rescue groups. They also host expert-led dog training classes that use positive reinforcement, which is perfect if you’re trying to turn a rowdy rescue into a well-behaved neighbor. The store is always bright, clean, and stocked with everything from exotic reptile habitats to high-end aquatic setups, making it just as much fun for "window shopping" as it is for a serious supply run.


Logistics are a major perk at Desert Ridge. There is a massive parking lot right in front of the store, so you never have to lug heavy bags of litter across the mall. If you're in a hurry, their Curbside Pickup is impressively fast—just order on the app, pull into a designated spot, and they’ll have your items in your trunk in minutes. It’s the kind of friendly, reliable spot that makes being a pet owner in the Valley a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.


Business Hours:




 Monday – Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM




Sunday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM (Note: Banfield Pet Hospital and the Grooming Salon often open earlier at 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM; it's best to call ahead for service appointments.)

At Desert Rudge location they have a cat adoption area run by Cool Cats.
If you want to adopt a kitten or cat check them out. Felines are spayed/neutered, have had shots, chipped ready to go home with you.
And you are right at the store where you can stock up on food, treats, toys etc for your newly adopted kitty.

This review is to bring awareness to proper animal care. I bought a jumping spider here yesterday. I’m very pleased that he looks pretty good given the condition of his container. He had a water bowl with some guaze at the bottom. That is dangerous for the spider. They get water mostly from their food and the enclosure should be misted with fine mist every other day or so to keep the humidity at 60%. No water bowl! There were 4 dead whole crickets at the bottom of the container as well. The crickets were too large for the spider. They could’ve seriously injured him by biting. He didn’t eat them because they were too large. Another spider they have in the store has made a thick hammock which signals it is about to molt. I hope it survives the molt as the soil seemed too dry. Please please do research on animals you sell and educate the staff on proper care. If you’re a manager reading this, I recommend looking into regal jumping spider care and start taking action to care for them properly.

I’m editing this to say that my “REGAL” Phidippus Regius jumping spider is actually a “BOLD” Phidippus Audax. I’m a little disappointed. It’s not the staff’s fault for not knowing but it does make me question where PetSmart is sourcing their spiders from.

Worst groomers on earth! Don’t send your animals here! They didn’t listen to a word I said, and cut hair that was told not to be cut while also botched it at the same time. Dog came home stressed out for hours over their crap service.

Disappointed in my most recent visit to this location. I am a frequent customer across various locations in north phx and this one is ok, usually busy but normally staff is friendly. I went in to purchase a live pet and pick up an online order just before they closed on a Sunday (7pm - I didn’t realize it was so early on Sundays) and they were not interested in helping me get the live pet. I can’t believe they would turn down sales, even if it means they have to stay around 5 extra mins. There were other customers in the store even. If you have another location to visit, I’d recommend it over this one.

One of the worst groomers on earth. Been to many petsmart locations before but the employees here are absolutely worst.
