Admin If you have been meaning to get a professional’s eyes on your dog’s coat, PetSmart’s October grooming event is the nudge. Every Wednesday in October — with October 14, 21, and 28 still ahead — participating salons run Wellness Wednesdays, all day, offering free 15-minute grooming consultations. A salon stylist walks you through skin and coat care, nail and paw care, and everyday hygiene tailored to your pet.
This is not a disguised sales pitch: the consult is free and there is no purchase needed to attend. Visitors also get free Mrs. Meyer’s samples while they are there, and each visit can be an entry into the 2026 PetSmart Salon Wellness Wednesday Giveaway — the grand prize is six PetSmart grooming services of the winner’s choice (up to a $2,000 value), with 25 runners-up receiving Mrs. Meyer’s prize packages.
