    Petco or Petsmart?

    What's your pet store of choice?

    I just discovered that we have a Petco (though it's on the other side of town so I haven't been yet, nor have I ever been to one!). Plus we have Petsmart, Pet Supplies Plus, and Natural Pet Supply store.

    Petsmart was always my favorite, but now I'm kind of favoring Pet Supplies Plus because it's really close to our house.

    Just wondering what everyone else's first choice was!

    Since the horrible Petco incident in Binghamton, NY earlier this year, I'd rather shop at PetSmart or a local store.

    Totally did not know about that till I just googled it . Maybe I won't be shopping at Petco after all, which kind of sucks because they have some of the stuff I need cheaper.

    I have always preferred PetsMart. When I've asked questions, the folks there are knowledgable. The people in PetCo, it's just a job, they haven't a clue!

    Mind you, PetCo is less than 1/2 mile from my home, nearest PetsMart is 18 miles and in the midst of a shopping crunch - wall to wall malls - so I have to really plan my trips up there.

    I've worked for Petco for over 9 years. I go to Petsmart on rare occassions but it's much easier to buy stuff where I work and I get an employee discount...so that's pretty much the only pet place I shop.

    Amy, did your Petco or Petco Corporate discuss or send any memos out about the Binghamton incident? Just curious ... as I hadn't heard any follow-up after the immediate reaction ...

    I like Petsmart because it is a little cheaper in my area. I love closest to Petco tho but lately don't go to either one. The least expensive for pet stuff is Walmart so I go there often. Why pay more for the same thing.

    PetSmart is usually cheaper than Petco.

    Black Friday Petsmart had the Tidy Cat 38 lb for $8.99 bought 8
    and they had the Friskies for .35 bought 48 cans
    I usually buy them at Walmart .50 for the cans
    $12 for litter
    Walmart does the price match also
    CVS and Ritaid have sales for .45 cans but they never have a good variety
    So I took the circular to Walmart and got the case for .45 a can
    Store opened at 7AM but I didn't get there till around 3pm and there was plenty still there
    I have never done Black Friday shopping. I was in and out. no lines

    Those are some really awesome deals!

    Pet Supplies Plus has no sales tax for Black Friday weekend.

    I prefer whichever one I'm closest to at the time. Neither of them is particularly close by, so I don't usually plan on going. I just happen to be going to another store that's in the area.
