<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration
statement;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The description of PetSmart's common stock which is contained in PetSmart's registration
statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
on June 4, 1993.
All reports and other documents subsequently filed by PetSmart pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be

except that the portion of any Current Report on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item
7.01 thereof shall not be incorporated by reference herein. Any statement contained in a document

herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration
statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The securities to be offered are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation in any action, other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. Section 145(b) provides that the corporation may indemnify any such person in an action
by or in the right of the corporation if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that
such person may not be indemnified in respect of any
2
matter in which he or she has been judged
liable to the corporation, unless authorized by the court. Section 145(c) provides that the
corporation shall indemnify any such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
defense of any action if he or she has been successful in the defense of such action and if such action is one for which the corporation
may indemnify such person under Section 145(a) or (b).
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the liability of directors
for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. The
Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that a director shall not be personally liable
to the Company or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and executive
officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, provided that the Company may
modify the extent of indemnification by individual contracts. The Company is not required to
indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding initiated by such
person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required by law, (ii) the proceeding was
authorized by the Board of Directors, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its
sole discretion, or (iv) the indemnification is required under the Bylaws. The Bylaws provide for
the advance payment of expenses incurred by any director or executive officer, on account of their
service, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive officers.
The form of agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the individual to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Bylaws and Delaware law. The Company agrees to
further indemnify such individual (a) against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that
such individual becomes legally obligated to pay because of a claim made against or by him in
connection with any action that such individual is, was or at any time a party, or is threatened to
be a party, by reason of the fact such individual is, was or at any time becomes a director,
officer, employee or other agent of the Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or other agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; and (b) otherwise to the fullest extent
provided to such individual by the Company under the non-exclusivity provisions of the Delaware
code and Bylaws. The Company will not provide indemnity to the director under certain circumstances
specified in its agreement.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings.
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
3
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
