Extreme Attacks: List of pit bull & other dangerous breed attacks inside Petsmart, PetCo, & Other Pet Stores

Pit bulls and other dangerous breeds have attacked children and attacked and killed pets in Petsmarts and Petco.s across the nation.  Why they continue play host to this carnage is beyond comprehension.  Below is a list of attacks that have been reported in the media and shared witness accounts.  Most attacks are by pit bulls but other dangerous breed dogs are included.  Notice that Petsmart lost a lawsuit in 2015 and the lawyers representing the victims stated that these horrendous attacks are preventable if Petsmart would require muzzles on dangerous breed dogs.

2018 MI - A beagle had to be put down after it was attacked by a pit bull at Petsmart.

2017 MA - A pit bull was brought into the Hyannis Petsmart for grooming with a muzzle on.  The owner was informed that it was store policy that the muzzle be removed for grooming, and the owner said that the pit bull had attacked a dog before, but was "as sweet as can be" with people.  The pit bull then proceeded to severely maul the groomer.  It was later discovered that the pit bull had severely mauled a woman a few months previously, and that the second victim was a pit bull owner and advocate who had her own aggressive pit bull problems.

2017 PA - A 12 yr old family Bichon Frise named Brewster was dropped off for grooming at the Dickson City Petsmart where Petsmart employees allowed a pit bull to fatally maul Brewster. Petsmart corporate issued yet another statement that they really care about clients' pets that is disproved by their next statemen in which they confirm that they will continue to refuse to ban or require muzzles for breeds that habitually maul and kill in their stores.

2017 FL - Pet store owner's pit mix fatally mauled an 8 week old labradoodle named Buddah. The owner of the Magic Pet Store had the gall to lie about the breed of dog when there are photos of the nasty thing. Buddah's owner had asked if it would be OK for Buddah to greet the pit mix. NEVER NEVER NEVER DO THIS. Asking pit owners if their pit is safe is never an assurance. They will invite you to kill your own dog with no thought whatsoever.

And the nasty mauler that killed him.

2017 VA - A six month old pit bull puppy severely mauled a toddler in a completely unprovoked attack at a Virginia Petsmart.  All it took was for the pit bull to escape from the training area, and it ran around the store, and instead of seeking love and affection, it sought prey to attack.  Yes, toddlers are prey to pit bulls.  This is why they are unacceptable as pets.

2017 TX - A mastiff killed a sweet little bichon named Luna in Petsmart.  The Luna's owner is devastated, and Petsmart is mouthing platitudes.  Their empty platitudes over the regular attacks on our pets in their stores might suggest they might care more about profit than our pets.

2016 PA - A dog groomer was attacked by a bullmastiff at a Petsmart in South Philadelphia.  Medics came and treated her at the scene and then she was taken to the hospital. After the bullmastiff attacked the groomer, it attacked a pomeranian.  No word on how badly the pomeranian was hurt. Police say there was no provocation for either attack.

2015 GA - In the same Petsmart where a pit bull was stabbed to stop an attack earlier this year, another pit bull attacked a Great Dane.  The pit owner seemed to think it was OK to bring a fighting breed dog into a store so long as she told other dog owners they better back off her aisle 'cuz she didn't know how her pit bull might react.

2015 TX - Family wins lawsuit against Petsmart which hosted an adoption event at which a rottweiler up for adoption launched an unprovoked, serious mauling on a 4 year old girl.  Lawyers for the girl said, "This was a preventable injury. Had Petsmart had in place a requirement that potentially dangerous breeds of dogs, such as Rottweiler’s and Pitbulls be muzzled before being brought into the store, this would not have happened.  We  hope that PetSmart will make a policy change to require muzzles on potentially dangerous breeds inside their stores."
