Check your PetSmart gift card balance online

  1. Open the official PetSmart gift card balance page (button above).
  2. Enter the card number printed on your card.
  3. Enter the PIN or security code (usually under a scratch-off panel on the back).
  4. Submit to see your current balance instantly.

What you’ll need

  • Card number — printed on a physical PetSmart card, or in the email for an eGift card.
  • PIN / security code — typically a separate code on the back of the card.

Other ways to check

  • In store: take the card to any PetSmart location and ask an associate to scan it — there’s no charge to check.
  • By phone: call PetSmart customer service and follow the prompts for gift card balance, with your card number ready.
  • Keep your receipt: the balance is often printed on your receipt after a purchase.

Balance not showing?

  • Double-check the numbers — re-enter the card number and PIN exactly as printed; a single wrong digit is the most common cause.
  • Newly bought card? It can take a few hours to activate after purchase. Try again later.
  • Still stuck? Reach out to customer service with the card in hand, or ask an associate to scan it in store.

What if your PetSmart balance shows $0?

A zero balance usually means one of three things: the card has already been spent, the funds were applied at a recent checkout, or the card was never activated at point of sale. Check your purchase history with PetSmart to confirm the last transaction. If you bought the card recently and never used it, keep the receipt and contact PetSmart customer service — they can trace activation and reissue if needed.

How swapping a PetSmart gift card on FlipGift works

If the balance you just checked is a card you won’t use, here’s the short version of the swap process:

  1. List your card — enter the brand, face value, and the gift card code. We encrypt the code with AES-256 before storage; only verified counterparties ever see it.
  2. Pick brands you’d accept — the more brands you’re open to, the faster you match. Popular brands trade close to face value.
  3. Get matched and verified — once we pair you with someone who wants your PetSmart card and has a card you want, our system verifies both balances before any codes change hands.
  4. Receive your new card — codes are released to both sides simultaneously, with a 48-hour dispute window for protection.

PetSmart gift card balance — FAQ

Can I check my PetSmart balance without the PIN?

The online checker usually needs both the card number and PIN. Without the PIN, check your balance in store or by contacting PetSmart customer service.

Is checking my PetSmart gift card balance free?

Yes. Checking your balance online, by phone, or in store is always free — PetSmart never charges to look up a gift card balance.

Can I combine multiple PetSmart gift cards?

PetSmart usually lets you apply more than one gift card to a single order at checkout. The exact limit depends on the platform (online vs. in store) — if a card isn’t accepted at the register, try splitting payment online instead.

What should I do if my PetSmart gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact PetSmart customer service as soon as possible. Without a receipt or registration, gift cards generally cannot be replaced — treat them like cash and record the number and PIN somewhere safe right after purchase.

Can I get cash back for a PetSmart gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require PetSmart to redeem gift cards for cash unless the remaining balance falls below a small threshold (often $5–$10). To recover the full value of an unwanted card, swapping it for a different gift card you’ll spend is usually a better deal than trying for a cash refund.

Can I reload my PetSmart gift card?

Some PetSmart gift cards can be reloaded online or in store, others can’t — it depends on the program. Check the card’s terms or the PetSmart site to confirm whether your card supports reload.

What can I do with a PetSmart gift card I don’t want?

You can swap it on FlipGift for a gift card you’ll actually use — peer-to-peer, with no fees or commissions — instead of letting the balance go to waste.
