REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PetSmart, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona
PetSmart, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of PetSmart, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of July 31, 2011 and August 1, 2010, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the thirteen week and twenty-six
week periods then ended, and of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods then ended. These
interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such
condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of PetSmart, Inc. and subsidiaries
as of January 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our
report dated March 24, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of January 30, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTE 1 GENERAL
PetSmart, Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company, PetSmart or we),
is the leading specialty provider of products, services and solutions for the lifetime needs of
pets in North America. We offer a broad selection of products for all the life stages of pets, as
well as various pet services including professional grooming, training, boarding and day camp. We
also offer pet products through an e-commerce site. As of July 31, 2011, we operated 1,197 retail
stores and had full-service veterinary hospitals in 778 of our stores. MMI Holdings, Inc., through
a wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Management International, Inc., collectively referred to as
Banfield, operated 769 of the veterinary hospitals under the registered trade name of Banfield,
The Pet Hospital. The remaining 9 hospitals are operated by other third parties in Canada.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for
interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature,
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated
financial statements, which are unaudited, should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 30, 2011.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for
the full year. Our fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the Sunday nearest January
31. Fiscal 2011 ends on January 29, 2012, while fiscal 2010 ended on January 30, 2011, both 52 week
years. Unless otherwise specified, all references to years in these condensed consolidated
financial statements are to fiscal years.
NOTE 2 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We use foreign currency exchange forward contracts, or Foreign Exchange Contracts, to manage
the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to certain balance sheet
accounts. We enter into the Foreign Exchange Contracts in Canada primarily to mitigate risk related
to non-functional currency exposures. These Foreign Exchange Contracts are not designated as hedges
and are recorded at fair value using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets. The changes in the fair value are recognized in operating, general and administrative
expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
At July 31, 2011, we had Foreign Exchange Contracts outstanding with a notional amount of
$10.0 million, which represents the amount of foreign currencies to be purchased or sold at
maturity and does not represent our exposure on these contracts. The fair value of the liability
related to these Foreign Exchange Contracts, included in other current liabilities, was immaterial
at July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010. The fair value of the receivable related to these Foreign
Exchange Contracts, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, was also immaterial at
January 30, 2011. We recorded immaterial losses on Foreign Exchange Contracts during the thirteen
and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010.
NOTE 3 INCOME TAXES
We generally do not materially adjust deferred income taxes as part of our interim income tax
provision. During the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, changes in deferred income taxes were
primarily due to tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and changes in accumulated other
comprehensive income. During the interim periods, we recognize the provision for income taxes in
other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision is calculated
based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to pretax income. A
reclassification between other current liabilities and deferred income tax assets and liabilities
is likely to occur during the fourth quarter of 2011. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 31,
2011, we recognized a tax benefit of $3.9 million from dividends received from Banfield.
NOTE 4 INVESTMENTS
We have an investment in Banfield which is accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. Our ownership interest in the stock of Banfield was as follows (in thousands):

totaled $3.1 million, $2.7 million and $3.0 million at July 31, 2011, January 30, 2011, and August
1, 2010, respectively, and were included in receivables, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
The master operating agreement also includes a provision for the sharing of profits on the
sale of therapeutic pet foods sold in all stores with an operating Banfield hospital. The net sales

financial statements.

NOTE 11 CREDIT FACILITIES
Effective April 22, 2011, we elected to reduce the aggregate commitment amount under our
$350.0 million revolving credit facility, or Revolving Credit Facility, to $100.0 million, which
allows us to avoid stand-by costs related to the excess commitment amount. This Revolving Credit
Facility expires on August 15, 2012. The Revolving Credit Facility also gives us the ability to
issue letters of credit, which reduce the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We had no borrowings and $31.6 million in stand-by letter of credit issuances outstanding
under our Revolving Credit Facility as of July 31, 2011, and January 30, 2011, and as of August 1,
2010, we had no borrowings and $37.2 million in stand-by letter of credit issuances outstanding.
We also have a $100.0 million stand-alone letter of credit facility, or Stand-alone Letter of
Credit Facility, that expires on August 15, 2012. As of July 31, 2011, and January 30, 2011, we
had $61.4 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Stand-alone Letter
10
Table of Contents
of Credit Facility and $61.4 million in restricted cash on deposit with the lender. As of
August 1, 2010, we had $46.5 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Stand-alone Letter
of Credit Facility and $46.5 million in restricted cash on deposit with the lender.
Our Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility permit the payment of
dividends if we are not in default and the payment of dividends would not result in default of the
Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility. As of July 31, 2011, we were
in compliance with the terms and covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter
of Credit Facility.
NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Advertising Purchase Commitments
As of July 31, 2011, we had obligations to purchase $27.1 million of advertising through the
remainder of 2011 and $21.0 million in 2012.
Product Purchase Commitments
As of July 31, 2011, we had various commitments to purchase product from certain vendors that
are not material to our total inventory purchases.
Litigation and Settlements
In January 2011, we were named as a defendant in Pedroza v. PetSmart, Inc., et al., a lawsuit
originally filed in California Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino. The case has been
removed to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges,
purportedly on behalf of current and former exempt store management in California, that we
improperly classified our store management as exempt pursuant to the California Labor Code, and as
a result failed to: (i) pay or provide to such managers proper wages, overtime compensation, or
rest or meal periods, (ii) maintain and provide accurate wage-related statements and records, and
(iii) reimburse certain business expenses, in each case as is required by the California Labor
Code.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, statutory penalties and other relief, including
liquidated damages, attorneys fees, costs and injunctive relief. At this time, we are not able to
predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit.
Therefore, we have not accrued any liability. We believe, however, that the lawsuit is without
merit and that the case should not be certified as a class or collective action, and we are
vigorously defending these claims.
We are involved in the defense of various other legal proceedings that we do not believe are
material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 13 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued new guidance on the
presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance requires that all non-owner changes in
stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income
or in two separate but consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present components of
other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity.
Additionally, the guidance requires that reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive
income and net income be presented on the face of the financial statements, except in the case of
foreign currency translation adjustments that are not the result of complete or substantially
complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity. The amendments in this update are to be
applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect our adoption of the new guidance to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and
disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This new
guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased
transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This new guidance is to be
applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 2011. We do not expect our adoption of the new guidance to impact our consolidated financial
statements.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Except for historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In the normal course of business, our financial
position is routinely subjected to a variety of risks, including market risks associated with store
expansion, investments in information systems, international expansion, vendor reliability,
competitive forces and government regulatory actions. Our actual results could differ materially
from projected results due to some or all of the factors discussed below. You should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below:
| A decline in consumer spending or a change in consumer preferences could reduce our sales or profitability and harm our business. |
| The pet products and services retail industry is very competitive and continued competitive forces may adversely impact our business and financial results. |
| Comparable store sales growth may decrease. If we are unable to increase sales at our existing stores, our results of operations could be harmed. |
| We may be unable to continue to open new stores and enter new markets successfully. If we are unable to successfully reformat existing stores and open new stores, our results of operations could be harmed. Also, store development may place increasing demands on management and operating systems and may erode sales at existing stores. |
| Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to seasonal changes associated with the pet products and services retail industry and the timing of expenses, new store openings and store closures. |
| Failure to successfully manage and execute our marketing initiatives could have a negative impact on our business. |
| A disruption, malfunction or increased costs in the operation, expansion or replenishment of our distribution centers or our supply chain would impact our ability to deliver to our stores or increase our expenses, which could harm our sales and results of operations. |
| Failure to successfully manage our inventory could harm our business. |
| If our information systems fail to perform as designed or are interrupted for a significant period of time, our business could be harmed. |
| If we fail to protect the integrity and security of customer and associate information, we could be exposed to litigation and our business could be adversely impacted. |
| The disruption of the relationship with or the loss of any of our key vendors, including our vendors with whom we have exclusive relationships, a decision by our vendors to make their products available in supermarkets or through warehouse clubs and other mass and retail merchandisers, the inability of our vendors to provide quality products in a timely or cost-effective manner, the availability of generic products, or risks associated with the suppliers from whom products are sourced, all could harm our business. |
| Our expanded offering of proprietary branded products may not improve our financial performance and may expose us to product liability claims. |
| Food safety, quality and health concerns could affect our business. |
| We depend on key executives, store managers and other personnel and may not be able to retain or replace these employees or recruit additional qualified personnel, which could harm our business. |
| Our international operations may result in additional market risks, which may harm our business. |

| Our business may be harmed if the operation of veterinary hospitals at our stores is limited or fails to continue. |
| We face various risks as an e-commerce retailer. |
| Our business could be harmed if we were unable to effectively manage our cash flow and raise any needed additional capital on acceptable terms. |
| Failure to successfully integrate any business we acquire could have an adverse impact on our financial results. |
| Failure to protect our intellectual property could have a negative impact on our operating results. |
| A determination that we are in violation of any contractual obligations or government regulations could result in a disruption to our operations and could impact our financial results. |
| Failure of our internal controls over financial reporting could harm our business and financial results. |
| Changes in laws, accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results. |
| An unfavorable determination by tax regulators may cause our provision for income and other taxes to be inadequate and may result in a material impact to our financial results. |
| Failure to obtain commercial insurance at acceptable prices or failure to adequately reserve for self-insured exposures might have a negative impact on our business. |
| Pending legislation, weather, catastrophic events, disease, or other factors, could disrupt our operations, supply chain and the supply of small pets and products we sell, which could harm our reputation and decrease sales. |
| Fluctuations in the stock market, as well as general economic and market conditions, may impact our operations, sales, financial results and market price of our common stock. |
| Continued volatility and disruption to the global capital and credit markets may adversely affect our ability to access credit and the financial soundness of our suppliers. |
| Our operating and financial performance in any given period may differ from the guidance we have provided to the public. |
| We have implemented some anti-takeover provisions that may prevent or delay an acquisition of us that may not be beneficial to our shareholders. |
For more information about these risks, see the discussion under the heading Risk Factors in
our Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 24, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Overview
Based on our 2010 net sales of $5.7 billion, we are North Americas leading specialty provider
of products, services and solutions for the lifetime needs of pets. As of July 31, 2011, we
operated 1,197 stores, and we anticipate opening 30 to 40 net new stores during the remainder of
2011. Our stores carry a broad assortment of high-quality pet supplies at everyday low prices. We
offer approximately 10,000 distinct items, including nationally recognized brand names, as well as
an extensive selection of proprietary brands across a range of product categories.
We complement our extensive product assortment with a wide selection of pet services,
including grooming, training, boarding and day camp. All our stores offer complete pet
training services, and virtually all our stores feature pet styling salons that provide
high-quality grooming services. Our PetsHotels provide boarding for dogs and cats, which includes
24-hour supervision, an on-call veterinarian, temperature controlled rooms and suites, daily
specialty treats and play time, as well as day camp for dogs. As of July 31, 2011, we operated 185
PetsHotels, and we anticipate opening 5 to 9 additional PetsHotels during the remainder of 2011.
We make full-service veterinary care available through our strategic relationship with certain
third-party operators. As of July 31, 2011, 778 of our stores included full service veterinary
hospitals. MMI Holdings, Inc., through a wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Management International,
Inc., collectively referred to as Banfield, operated 769 of the veterinary hospitals under the
registered trade name of Banfield, The Pet Hospital. The remaining 9 hospitals are operated by
other third parties in Canada.
The principal challenges we face as a business are the highly competitive market in which we
operate and the continuing changes in the macro-economy. However, we believe we have a competitive
advantage in our solutions for the Total Lifetime CareSM of pets, including pet
services and proprietary brands, which we believe cannot easily be duplicated. Additionally, we
consider our cash flow from operations and cash on hand to be adequate to meet our operating,
investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future, and we continue to have access to our
revolving credit facility. We continuously assess the economic environment and market conditions to
guide our decisions regarding our uses of cash, including capital expenditures, investments,
dividends and share repurchases.
Executive Summary
| Diluted earnings per common share increased 31.7% to $0.54 on net income of $61.2 million, for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.41 on net income of $48.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010.

Net Sales
Net sales increased 7.0% to $1.5 billion for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared
to $1.4 billion for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010. The increase in net sales was
partially impacted by $5.8 million in favorable foreign currency fluctuations for the thirteen
weeks ended July 31, 2011. Approximately 70% of the sales increase is due to a 5.0% increase in
comparable store sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011 and 30% of the sales increase is
due to the addition of 33 net new stores and 17 new PetsHotels since August 1, 2010.
Comparable store sales growth was driven by an increase in comparable transactions and average
sales per comparable transaction due to the impact of merchandising strategies, pricing strategies
and new product offerings. The impact of comparable transactions and average sales per comparable
transaction is summarized below.

Services sales, included in the net sales amount discussed above, increased 7.6% or $12.6
million, to $177.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to $165.3 million
for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010. The increase in services sales, which include
grooming, training, boarding and day camp, is primarily due to continued strong demand for our
grooming services, improved occupancy in our PetsHotels and the addition of 33 net new stores and
17 new PetsHotels since August 1, 2010.
Other revenue included in net sales during the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, represents
license fees and reimbursements for utilities and specific operating expenses charged to Banfield
under the master operating agreement which comprised 0.6% of net sales, or $9.1 million, compared
to 0.6% of net sales, or $8.6 million, for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010. See the Related
Party Transactions discussion for further information.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to 29.4% of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, from
28.5% for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010, representing an increase of 90 basis points.
15
Table of Contents
Overall merchandise margin increased 70 basis points due to a 95 basis point improvement in
rate, which was offset by a 25 basis point decline in mix. The rate improvement is the result of
increased sales of higher margin goods within the product categories, improvement in shrink and the
anniversary of the rawhide and live goods resets during the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011,
relative to the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010. Mix was negatively impacted as the sales
growth in our consumables continued to outpace the sales growth of our higher margin hardgoods
category.
Services margin increased 10 basis points primarily due to increased sales and reduced
operating costs of our PetsHotels services, as well as a shift to higher margin offerings in our
grooming services.
Store occupancy and supply chain costs included in margin each provided 5 basis points of
leverage associated with the increase in net sales.
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased 10 basis points to 22.0% of net sales
for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to 21.9% of net sales for the thirteen weeks
ended August 1, 2010.
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased on a dollar basis by $22.4 million.
The primary reasons for the year over year increase include store growth, planned incremental
advertising spend focused on our differentiated offerings and higher benefit costs.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, which is primarily related to capital lease obligations, was $14.5 million
during the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to $14.8 million for the thirteen weeks
ended August 1, 2010. Included in interest expense, net was interest income of $0.2 million for
both the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
For the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, the $37.6 million income tax expense represents an
effective tax rate of 39.2% compared with the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010, when we had
income tax expense of $31.2 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 40.2%. The decrease
in the effective tax rate was primarily due to decreases in certain state tax liabilities. The
effective tax rate is calculated by dividing our income tax expense, which includes the income tax
expense related to our equity in income from Banfield, by income before income tax expense and
equity in income from Banfield.
Equity in Income from Banfield
Our equity in income from our investment in Banfield was $2.8 million and $2.1 million for the
thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010, respectively, based on our ownership
percentage in Banfields net income.
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 31, 2011, Compared to the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 1, 2010
Net Sales
Net sales increased 6.9% to $3.0 billion for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011,
compared to $2.8 billion for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. The increase in net sales
was partially impacted by $10.0 million in favorable foreign currency fluctuations for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011. Approximately 70% of the sales increase is due to a 5.0%
increase in comparable store sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011 and 30% of the
sales increase is due to the addition of 33 net new stores and 17 new PetsHotels since August 1,
2010.
Comparable store sales growth was driven by an increase in comparable transactions and average
sales per comparable transaction due to the impact of merchandising strategies, pricing strategies
and new product offerings. The impact from comparable transactions and average sales per comparable
transaction is summarized below.

Services sales, included in the net sales amount discussed above, increased 8.3%, or $26.4
million, to $345.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to $318.6 million
for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. The increase in services sales, which include
grooming, training, boarding and day camp, is primarily due to continued strong demand for our
grooming services, improved occupancy in our PetsHotels and the addition of 33 net new stores and
17 new PetsHotels since August 1, 2010.
Other revenue included in net sales during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011,
represents license fees and reimbursements for utilities and specific operating expenses charged to
Banfield under the master operating agreement which comprised 0.6% of net sales, or $18.1 million,
compared to 0.6% of net sales, or $16.8 million, for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. See
the Related Party Transactions discussion for further information.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 80 basis points to 29.5% of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended
July 31, 2011, from 28.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010.
Overall merchandise margin increased 50 basis points due to a 60 basis point improvement in
rate, which was offset by a 10 basis point decline in mix. The rate improvement is the result of
increased sales of higher margin goods within the product categories and improvement in shrink
during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, relative to the twenty-six weeks ended August 1,
2010. Mix was negatively impacted as the sales growth in our consumables continued to outpace the
sales growth of our higher margin hardgoods category.
Services margin increased 10 basis points primarily due to increased sales and reduced
operating costs of our PetsHotels services as well as a shift to higher margin offerings in our
grooming services.
Store occupancy costs included in margin provided 20 basis points due to leverage associated
with the increase in net sales.
Supply chain costs included in margin were flat during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31,
2011, compared to the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010.
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales remained flat at
21.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010.
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased on a dollar basis by $41.1 million.
The primary reasons for the year over year increase include store growth, planned incremental
advertising spend focused on our differentiated offerings and higher benefit costs.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, which is primarily related to capital lease obligations, was $29.3 million
during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to $30.2 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended August 1, 2010. Included in interest expense, net was interest income of $0.6 million and
$0.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
For the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, the $76.5 million income tax expense represents
an effective tax rate of 37.7% compared with the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010, when we had
income tax expense of $64.9 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 39.3%. The decrease
in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a tax deductible dividend received from Banfield.
17
Table of Contents
The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing our income tax expense, which includes the
income tax expense related to our equity in income from Banfield, by income before income tax
expense and equity in income from Banfield.
Equity in Income from Banfield
Our equity in income from our investment in Banfield was $5.4 million and $3.6 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010, respectively, based on our ownership
percentage in Banfields net income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
We believe that our operating cash flow and cash on hand will be adequate to meet our
operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. In addition, we also have
access to our revolving credit facility, although there can be no assurance of our ability to
access these markets on commercially acceptable terms in the future. We expect to continuously
assess the economic environment and market conditions to guide our decisions regarding our uses of
cash, including capital expenditures, investments, dividends and the purchase of common stock.
We finance our operations, new store and PetsHotel growth, store remodels and other
expenditures to support our growth initiatives primarily through cash generated by operating
activities. Receipts from our sales come from cash, checks and third-party debit and credit cards,
and therefore provide a significant source of liquidity. Cash is used in operating activities
primarily to fund procurement of merchandise inventories and other assets, net of accounts payable
and other accrued liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities was $205.2 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to $128.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended
August 1, 2010. The primary differences between the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and
August 1, 2010, include increased income, a decrease in purchases of merchandise inventories and
the $16.0 million dividend received from Banfield in 2011 as no dividends were received in 2010.
Cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of expenditures associated with opening
new stores, reformatting existing stores, expenditures associated with equipment and computer
software in support of our system initiatives, PetsHotel construction costs, and other expenditures
to support our growth plans and initiatives. Cash used in investing activities was $62.6 million
for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, compared to $53.1 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended August 1, 2010. The primary difference between the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and
August 1, 2010, was purchases of investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $177.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July
31, 2011, and consisted primarily of the cash paid for treasury stock, payments of cash dividends,
payments on capital lease obligations, offset by net proceeds from common stock issued under equity
incentive plans and an increase in our bank overdraft. Net cash used in financing activities for
the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010, was $145.1 million. The primary difference between the
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010, was an
increase in cash paid for treasury stock.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Substantially all our stores are leased facilities. We opened 13 new stores and closed 3
stores in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011. Generally, each new store requires capital
expenditures of approximately $1.1 million for fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements,
approximately $0.3 million for inventory and approximately $0.1 million for preopening costs. We
expect total capital spending to be $130 million to $140 million for 2011, based on our plan to
open 40 to 50 net new stores and 10 to 15 new PetsHotels, continuing our investment in the
development of our information systems, adding to our services capacity with the expansion of
certain grooming salons, remodeling or replacing certain store assets and continuing our store
refresh program.
Our ability to fund our operations and make planned capital expenditures depends on our future
operating performance and cash flow, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to
financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Commitments
As of July 31, 2011, we had obligations to purchase $27.1 million of advertising through the
remainder of 2011 and $21.0 million in 2012.
As of July 31, 2011, we had various commitments to purchase product from certain vendors that
are not material to our total inventory purchases.
There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations since January 30,
2011. Information regarding our contractual obligations is provided in Item 7, Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2011.
Credit Facilities
Effective April 22, 2011, we decreased the aggregate commitment amount under our $350.0
million revolving credit facility, or Revolving Credit Facility, to $100.0 million. We elected to
reduce the Revolving Credit Facility as we do not anticipate borrowings, if any, in excess of
$100.0 million, which allows us to avoid stand-by costs related to the excess commitment amount.
This Revolving Credit Facility expires on August 15, 2012. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility are subject to a borrowing base and bear interest, at our option, at the banks prime rate
plus 0% to 0.25% or LIBOR plus 0.875% to 1.25%. We are subject to fees payable to lenders each
quarter at an annual rate of 0.20% of the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. The
Revolving Credit Facility also gives us the ability to issue letters of credit, which reduce the
amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letter of credit issuances under the
Revolving Credit Facility are subject to interest payable to the lenders and bear interest of
0.875% to 1.25% for stand-by letters of credit or 0.438% to 0.625% for commercial letters of
credit.
We had no borrowings and $31.6 million in stand-by letter of credit issuances outstanding
under our Revolving Credit Facility as of July 31, 2011, and January 30, 2011, and as of August 1,
2010, we had no borrowings and $37.2 million in stand-by letter of credit issuances outstanding.
We also have a $100.0 million stand-alone letter of credit facility, or Stand-alone Letter of
Credit Facility, that expires August 15, 2012. We are subject to fees payable to the
lender each quarter at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily face amount of the letters of
credit outstanding during the preceding calendar quarter. In addition, we are required to maintain
a cash deposit with the lender equal to the amount of outstanding letters of credit or we may use
other approved investments as collateral. If we use other approved investments as collateral, we
must have an amount on deposit which, when multiplied by the advance rate of 85%, is equal to the
amount of the outstanding letters of credit under the Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility. As of
July 31, 2011, and January 30, 2011, we had $61.4 million in outstanding letters of credit under
the Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility and $61.4 million in restricted cash on

deposit with the lender. As of August 1, 2010, we had $46.5 million in outstanding letters of
credit under the Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility and $46.5 million in restricted cash on
deposit with the lender.
Our Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility permit the payment of
dividends if we are not in default and the payment of dividends would not result in default of the
Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility. As of July 31, 2011, we were
in compliance with the terms and covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter
of Credit Facility. Our Revolving Credit Facility and Stand-alone Letter of Credit Facility are
secured by substantially all our personal property assets, our subsidiaries and certain real
property.
Dividends
We believe our ability to generate cash allows us to invest in the growth of our business and,
at the same time, distribute a quarterly dividend.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, the Board of Directors declared the following
dividends:
Date | Dividend Amount | Stockholders of | ||||||||||
Declared | per Share | Record Date | Payment Date | |||||||||

Share Purchase Program
In June 2009, the Board of Directors approved a share purchase program authorizing the
purchase of up to $350.0 million of our common stock through January 29, 2012. During the thirteen
weeks ended May 2, 2010, we purchased 3.4 million shares of common stock for $107.1 million under
this $350.0 million program.
In June 2010, the Board of Directors approved a share purchase program authorizing the
purchase of up to $400.0 million of our common stock through January 29, 2012, replacing the $350.0
million program. During the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, we purchased 1.4 million shares of
common stock for $63.0 million under the $400.0 million program. During the twenty-six weeks ended
July 31, 2011, we purchased 3.9 million shares of common stock for $165.4 million under the $400.0
million program. Since the inception of the share purchase authorization in June 2010, we purchased
8.1 million shares of common stock for $321.6 million.
In June 2011, the Board of Directors approved a share purchase program authorizing the
purchase of up to $450.0 million of our common stock through January 31, 2013, replacing the $400.0
million program, effective August 1, 2011.
Related Party Transactions
We have an investment in Banfield, who through a wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Management
International, Inc., operates full-service veterinary hospitals in 769 of our stores. Our
investment consists of common and preferred stock. As of July 31, 2011, we owned 21.4% of the
voting stock and 21.0% of the combined voting and non-voting stock of Banfield.
Our equity in income from our investment in Banfield, which is recorded one month in arrears
under the equity method of accounting, was $2.8 million and $2.1 million for the thirteen weeks
ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010, respectively, and $5.4 million and $3.6 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010, respectively. During the twenty-six
weeks ended July 31, 2011, we received a dividend from Banfield of $16.0 million.
We recognized license fees and reimbursements for specific operating expenses from Banfield of
$9.1 million and $8.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010,
respectively, and $18.1 million and $16.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011,
and August 1, 2010, respectively, in other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income. The related costs are included in cost of other revenue in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Receivables from Banfield
totaled $3.1 million, $2.7 million and $3.0 million at July 31, 2011, January 30, 2011, and August
1, 2010, respectively, and were included in receivables, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

Table of Contents
The master operating agreement also includes a provision for the sharing of profits on the
sale of therapeutic pet foods sold in all stores with an operating Banfield hospital. The net sales
and gross profit on the sale of therapeutic pet food are not material to our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Seasonality and Inflation
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. We typically realize a higher portion of our
net sales and operating profits during the fourth quarter due to increased holiday traffic. As a
result of this seasonality, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results
are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of
future performance. Controllable expenses could fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter in a year. Since
our stores typically draw customers from a large trade area, sales also may be impacted by adverse
weather or travel conditions, which are more prevalent during certain seasons of the year. As a
result of our expansion plans, the timing of new store and PetsHotel openings and related
preopening costs, the amount of revenue contributed by new and existing stores and PetsHotels and
the timing and estimated obligations of store closures, our quarterly results of operations may
fluctuate. Finally, because new stores tend to experience higher payroll, advertising and other
store level expenses as a percentage of sales than mature stores, new store openings will also
contribute to lower store operating margins until these stores become established. We expense
preopening costs associated with each new location as the costs are incurred.
While we have experienced inflationary pressure in recent years, we have been able to largely
mitigate the effect by increasing retail prices accordingly. Although neither inflation nor
deflation has had a material impact on net operating results, we can make no assurance that our
business will not be affected by inflation or deflation in the future.
Impact of Federal Health Care Reform Legislation
In March 2010, the President of the United States signed into law the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or
the Acts. The provisions of the Acts are not expected to have a significant impact to our
condensed consolidated financial statements in the short term. The longer term potential impacts
of the Acts to our business and the condensed consolidated financial statements are currently
uncertain. We will continue to assess the impact of the Acts on our health plan.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As of July 31, 2011, there have been no material changes in the market risk information
disclosed by us in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2011. More
detailed information concerning market risk can be found in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 30, 2011.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2011. The term
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures
of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in
the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July
31, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date,
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level and
designed to meet the objective at the reasonable assurance level.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In January 2011, we were named as a defendant in Pedroza v. PetSmart, Inc., et al., a lawsuit
originally filed in California Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino. The case has been
removed to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges,
purportedly on behalf of current and former exempt store management in California, that we
improperly classified our store management as exempt pursuant to the California Labor Code, and as
a result failed to: (i) pay or provide to such managers proper wages, overtime compensation, or
rest or meal periods, (ii) maintain and provide accurate wage-related statements and records, and
(iii) reimburse certain business expenses, in each case as is required by the California Labor
Code.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, statutory penalties and other relief, including
liquidated damages, attorneys fees, costs and injunctive relief. At this time, we are not able to
predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit.
Therefore, we have not accrued any liability. We believe, however, that the lawsuit is without
merit and that the case should not be certified as a class or collective action, and we are
vigorously defending these claims.
We are involved in the defense of various other legal proceedings that we do not believe are
material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information in this report, you should carefully consider the factors
discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 30, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results.
