                                 PETSMART, INC.
                       EXECUTIVE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
                       Adopted effective February 4, 2002
                        Amended effective March 25, 2003

SECTION 1 - PURPOSES.

This PETsMART, INC. EXECUTIVE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (the "Plan") provides
for incentive compensation to those key officers and employees of PETsMART, Inc.
or any affiliated entity (collectively, the "Company"), who, from time to time
may be selected for participation. The Plan is intended to provide incentives
and rewards for the contributions of such employees toward the successful
achievement of the Company's financial and business goals established for the
applicable performance period. The Company's policy is to have a significant
portion of a participant's total compensation tied to the Company's performance.
Payments pursuant to the Plan are intended to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
("Section 162(m)").

SECTION 2 - ADMINISTRATION.

The Plan shall be administered by the committee (the "Committee") of the Board
of Directors of PETsMART, Inc. ("PETsMART") that has been designated to
administer programs intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation"
within the meaning of Section 162(m). The Committee shall have authority to make
rules and adopt administrative procedures in connection with the Plan and shall
have discretion to provide for situations or conditions not specifically
provided for herein consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee
shall determine the beginning and ending dates for each performance period.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the performance period shall
correspond to PETsMART's fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered and its provisions
interpreted so that payments pursuant to the Plan qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m). Determinations by the
Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and all participants.

SECTION 3 - SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS.

The executive officers of the Company as well as those other key employees of
the Company who, in the opinion of the Committee, may become executive officers
of the Company or who otherwise may make comparable contributions to the Company
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Each performance period, the
Committee may designate from among those employees who are eligible to
participate in the Plan those employees who shall participate in the Plan for
such performance period. In the event an

                                       1

<PAGE>

individual is selected to participate in the Plan, such individual shall not
also participate in the Company's regular Short-Term Incentive Plan.

SECTION 4 - ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES.

During the first ninety (90) days of each performance period the Committee shall
establish one or more performance objectives, at least one of which shall be
based on a shareholder approved business criteria. The Committee shall have
discretion to establish objectives that are not based on shareholder approved
business criteria, including objectives the achievement of which may require
subjective assessments by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
maximum possible payout shall be based solely on shareholder approved business
criteria. The use of non-shareholder approved business criteria shall be used
solely to reduce an award. The shareholder approved business criteria are as
follows:

-     Net income of PETsMART as set forth in PETsMART's audited financial
      statements

-     Earning per share of PETsMART as set forth in PETsMART's audited financial
      statements

-     Customer satisfaction as determined by an independent professional survey
      research firm

-     Increase in the trading price of PETsMART's stock above the trading price
      at the time the criteria is established

-     Return on equity as calculated from PETsMART's audited financial
      statements

-     Return on assets as calculated from PETsMART's audited financial
      statements

-     Return on investments as calculated from PETsMART's audited financial
      statements

-     Increase in sales as calculated from PETsMART's audited financial
      statements

All criteria that are based on PETsMART's audited financial statements may be
modified by the Committee at the time the specific criteria are selected to take
into consideration one or more of the following: (1) changes in accounting
principles that become effective during the performance period, (2)
extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring events, (3) the disposition of
a business or significant assets, (4) gains or losses from all or certain claims
and/or litigation and insurance recoveries, (5) the impact of impairment of
intangible assets, (6) restructuring activities, (7) the impact of investments
or acquisitions, and/or (8) changes in corporate capitalization such as stock
splits and certain reorganizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee
must select criteria that collectively satisfy the requirements of
performance-based compensation for the purposes of Section 162(m), including by
establishing the targets at a time when the performance relative to such targets
is substantially uncertain.

                                       2

SECTION 5 - ESTABLISHING TARGET AWARDS.

During the first ninety (90) days of each performance period the Committee shall
establish a target award, expressed as a percentage of eligible salary for that
performance period, for each participant in the Plan. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, eligible salary shall be annual base salary
determined at the time the Committee establishes the target award, excluding pay
for disability, overtime, bonuses, sick pay and other reimbursements and
allowances. Individual participants may earn an award payout ranging from zero
percent to a maximum of five hundred percent of their target award. The
Committee will establish an award payout schedule based upon the extent to which
the Company performance objectives and/or other performance objectives are or
are not achieved or exceeded. Pursuant to Section 4, entitlement to an award
shall be based solely on shareholder approved business criteria; however,
non-shareholder approved criteria may be used to reduce the amount of an award
payable to one or more participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
participant shall receive a payment pursuant to the Plan that exceeds $5 million
for any twelve (12) month period.

SECTION 6 - DETERMINING FINAL AWARDS.

No later than thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Committee of the audited
financial statements for a performance period, the Committee shall determine
whether the established performance objectives for each participant in the Plan
were achieved. The Committee shall have discretion to reduce final awards from
the target award depending on (a) the extent to which the Company performance
objective(s) is either exceeded or not met, and (b) the extent to which other
objectives, e.g. subsidiary, division, department, unit or other performance
objectives are attained. The Committee shall have full discretion to reduce
individual final awards based on individual performance as it considers
appropriate in the circumstances. The Committee shall not have discretion to
increase awards for the performance period.

SECTION 7 - TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

Participants whose employment by the Company is terminated for any reason other
than death or disability during any performance period will receive no payment
under the Plan for such performance period. Participants who die or become
totally and permanently disabled during any performance period will receive
prorated payments under the Plan based on the number of whole months of
employment completed during the performance period. Except as provided in
Section 9, participants whose employment by the Company is terminated for any
reason after the close of the performance period but before the distribution of
payments under the Plan will be paid all amounts applicable under this Plan for
such performance period.

SECTION 8 - TIME OF AND PAYMENT OF AWARDS.

Payment of awards shall be made within thirty (30) days following the later of
(a) the receipt by the Committee of the audited financial statements for the
applicable performance period or (b) the certification by the Committee that the
performance and

                                       3

<PAGE>

other criteria for payment have been satisfied (the "Certification Date"). The
Committee shall have the discretion to pay awards in the form of (i) cash, (ii)
Common Stock, (iii) Restricted Stock, (iv) Stock Units, (v) Restricted Stock
Units, or (vi) a combination of the foregoing. Payroll and other taxes shall be
withheld as determined by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide the participants the opportunity
to elect to defer any payments pursuant to the Plan under a nonqualified
deferred compensation plan. In the case of any such deferred payment, the terms
of such deferred compensation plan shall control; provided, however, that,
unless the Committee determines that the alternative deferred payment does not
have to comply with the following limitations in order to avoid the application
of Section 162(m), any amount payable pursuant to such deferred compensation
plan in excess of the amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan shall not
exceed, as determined by the Committee, either (a) an amount based on either
Moody's Average Corporate Bond Yield (or such other rate of interest that is
deemed to constitute a "reasonable rate of interest" for the purpose of Section
162(m)) over the deferral period or (b) the return over the deferral period of
one or more predetermined actual investments, as determined by the Committee,
such that the amount payable at the later date will be based upon actual
returns, including any decrease or increase in the value of the investment(s).

For the purposes of this Section 8, the following definitions shall apply:

      "Common Stock" shall mean common stock of the Company.

      "Restricted Stock" shall mean Common Stock that is subject to Vesting as
      set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement adopted by the Committee.

      "Stock Units" shall mean an unfunded, unsecured commitment by the Company
      to deliver a pre-determined number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash
      equivalent of such Common Stock) to a participant at a future time in
      accordance with the terms and conditions of a Stock Unit Agreement adopted
      by the Committee.

      "Restricted Stock Unit" shall mean a Stock Unit that is subject to Vesting
      as set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement adopted by the
      Committee.

      "Vesting" shall mean a requirement that a participant remain an employee
      of the Company, or an affiliate of the Company, for an additional period
      of time in order to retain the Common Stock (in the case of Restricted
      Stock) or the Stock Unit (in the case of a Restricted Stock Unit).

      "Value of Common Stock" shall mean the closing price of the Common Stock
      on the last trading day immediately preceding the day as of which the
      Common Stock is to be valued. Vesting shall not be taken into account in
      determining the Value of Common Stock for this purpose.

In the event the Committee does not specify the form of the payment within the
first ninety (90) days of the performance period, the form of payment shall be
in the form of cash unless the Committee determines (a "Retroactive
Determination") on or before the

                                       4

<PAGE>

Certification Date that the form of payment will include some non-cash
consideration. In the event the Committee makes a Retroactive Determination, the
total value of the payment shall not exceed the value if the payment were made
only in cash. The Committee shall be deemed to be in compliance with the
preceding sentence if the sum of (i) the Value of Common Stock, (ii) the Value
of Common Stock that is Restricted Stock, (iii) the Value of Common Stock that
is subject to Stock Units or Restricted Stock Units, and (iv) the cash in the
payment pursuant to the Retroactive Determination would be less than or equal to
an all cash payment on both the last day of the performance period and the
Certification Date.

Shares of Common Stock issued directly or as Restricted Stock or pursuant to
Stock Units or Restricted Stock Units shall be issued pursuant to the 1995
Equity Incentive Plan unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

SECTION 9 - FORFEITURE.

It shall be an overriding precondition to the payment of any award (a) that the
participant not engage in any activity that, in the opinion of the Committee, is
in competition with any activity of the Company or any affiliated entity or
otherwise inimical to the best interests of the Company and (b) that the
participant furnish the Committee with all such information confirming
satisfaction of the foregoing condition as the Committee shall reasonably
request. If the Committee makes a determination that a participant has engaged
in any such competitive or otherwise inimical activity, such determination shall
operate to immediately cancel all then unpaid award amounts.

SECTION 10 - DEATH.

Any award remaining unpaid, in whole or in part, at the death of a participant
shall be paid to the participant's legal representative or to a beneficiary
designated by the participant in accordance with the rules established by the
Committee.

SECTION 11 - NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR AWARD.

No person shall have any claim or right to receive an award, and selection to
participate in the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right with
respect to continued employment by the Company or continued participation in the
Plan. Further the Company reaffirms its at-will relationship with its employees
and expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss a participant free from
any liability or claim for benefits pursuant to the Plan, except as provided
under this Plan or other written plan adopted by the Company or written
agreement between the Company and the participant.

SECTION 12 - DISCRETION OF COMPANY, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEE.

Any decision made or action taken by the Company or by the Board of Directors of
PETsMART or by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the creation,
amendment, construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan
shall be within the absolute discretion of such entity and shall be conclusive
and binding upon all

                                       5

<PAGE>

persons. To the maximum extent possible, no member of the Committee shall have
any liability for actions taken or omitted under the Plan by such member or any
other person.

SECTION 13 - NO FUNDING OF PLAN.

The Company shall not be required to fund or otherwise segregate any cash or any
other assets which may at any time be paid to participants under the Plan. The
Plan shall constitute an "unfunded" plan of the Company. The Company shall not,
by any provisions of the Plan, be deemed to be a trustee of any property, and
any rights of any participant or former participant shall be no greater than
those of a general unsecured creditor or shareholder of the Company, as the case
may be.

SECTION 14 - NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF BENEFITS AND INTERESTS.

Except as expressly provided by the Committee, no benefit payable under the Plan
shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, any such attempted action shall be
void, and no such benefit shall be in any manner liable for or subject to debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any participant or former
participant. This Section 14 shall not apply to an assignment of a contingency
or payment due (i) after the death of a participant to the deceased
participant's legal representative or beneficiary or (ii) after the disability
of a participant to the disabled participant's personal representative.

SECTION 15 - LAW TO GOVERN.

All questions pertaining to the construction, regulation, validity and effect of
the provisions of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of
the State of Arizona.

SECTION 16 - NON-EXCLUSIVITY.

The Plan does not limit the authority of the Company, the Board of Directors or
the Committee, or any current or future subsidiary of the Company to grant
awards or authorize any other compensation to any person under any other plan or
authority, other than that specifically prohibited herein.

SECTION 17 - SECTION 162(M) CONDITIONS; BIFURCATION OF PLAN.

It is the intent of the Company that the Plan and all payments made hereunder
satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of participants who are
persons whose compensation is subject to Section 162(m), satisfies any
applicable requirements as performance-based compensation. Any provision,
application or interpretation of the Plan inconsistent with this intent to
satisfy the standards in Section 162(m) shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, the provisions of the Plan may at any time
be bifurcated by the Board of Directors or the Committee in any manner so that
certain provisions of the Plan or any payment intended (or required in order) to
satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 162(m) are only applicable to
persons whose compensation is subject to Section 162(m).

                                       6

SECTION 18 - ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.

The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to and govern all disputes arising under
or pursuant to the Plan. Any disputes with respect to the terms of this Plan or
any rights granted hereunder, including, without limitation, the scope of this
arbitration, shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association governing commercial disputes. Arbitration
shall occur in Phoenix, Arizona. Judgment on any arbitration award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. A single arbitrator shall be used
unless the amount in dispute exceeds $200,000 and a party to the arbitration
proceeding requests that the arbitration be heard by a panel of three
arbitrators. If a panel of three arbitrators is used, the arbitration decision
shall be made by a majority of the three arbitrators. By electing to participate
in the Plan, the Company and each participant EXPRESSLY AGREE TO ARBITRATION AND
WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, JUDGE, OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING. An
arbitrator shall have the same powers that a judge for a United States District
Court located in the State of Arizona may exercise in comparable circumstances.
Nothing in this Plan shall limit or restrict any right of offset a party may
have.

SECTION 19 - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.

The Board of Directors of the Company and the Committee each reserves the right
at any time to make any changes in the Plan as it may consider desirable or may
suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time.
