I go to Petsmart. I only buy food from them. Everything else is ordered online.

The Petco's around here are dumps...to put it lightly...

Petsmart mostly. Sometimes Petco. I shop at a local store called Canine Commissary also. They have neat, unique items.

And of course, I order a ton of stuff online.

Petco is way too expensive, and never have I found anyone that knows anything there. So, I shop at Petsmart and Drs Foster and Smith, online.

We have PetSupply Plus here, It's cheaper then PetSmart!
We are getting a Petco very soon.

I used to shop & get my dogs groomed at Petsmart but, I had a VERY bad experience with 2 of the groomers.
I since have switched to Petco Grooming,manager there has done a great job.
I'm not going to get my hopes up though. Just when it seems like they're doing a great job something seems to always happen (call it a black cloud). I may be a bit demanding but I don't think so, considering they're my babies & I do not want anything bad happening to them!
I usually buy the dog food at Mounds & I buy all their treats & toys at either Wal-mart or Woodman's grocery store.

I shop at Petco mostly, but sometimes PetsMart too.

Our Petco here is so clean and I like it because they have very good quality items.

PetsMart is ok, but I don't care for it because they sell both good and bad quality items. For a pet store I am disappointed in them because they sell Kibbles and bits and pedigree and other low quality foods. I think that a pet store should be a place pet owners should be able to look for guidance, and I don't see that at PatsMart.

Really? I thought all PetSmarts were pretty much the same, The PetSmart I go doesn't sell kibbles N' bits. Iams, pedigree and a few other foods. They sell mostly really high quality food and toys at great prices. I also like the fact that my PetSmart doesn't sell dogs. They have some cats from the shelter in there though.

I buy dog food at a small store called Especially 4 Pets. It carries high end dog food.
I don't really buy anything from pet stores, but if I do have to go to one I will go to either Petsmart or Petcetera. I will not buy anything from Petland, although sometimes I do go in there to try and educate people.
I have never found people more knowledgeable at one stor over the other. I think that in general they are all pretty dumb, but they do get points from me if they know I have shelties when I walk in. I also think that their grooming and training are horrible (this is only the stores I've been in personally, I do realize that all stores are different.)

Mostly anywhere but petco....

**Desert Arabian** · 10-02-2004, 09:58 AM

We have no PetSmart around here, which makes me mad because they are better than Petco. We have a lot of Petcos around here and they are outrageously expensive there. I shop there (ew), Fleet Farm (where I work), Waldschmidts (feed store and animal supply store, local), Pet Supplies Plus, and Pet World (TONS of stuff there for good prices). For local tack shops, I love Horse Emporium, Halls Saddlery, and State Line Tack (only go to SLT when I'm out of state).

Yeah...what petstores do I shop at?

Wal-Mart, Superstore and Zellers!

The closest pet store to me is Petland, which is 2 and a half hours away (same one where Cali is). I went there once, but I didn't buy anything, as I did not have Major then. I had no idea it was such a bad store

Just figures...we FINALLY get a pet store close to us (well...yeah...2 and a half hours away...) and its Petland

I have so far bought Major's food at Wal-Mart, was Ol' Roy, now switched to Purina ONE. Wal-Mart, really, sadly, is our best pet option

Used to shop at Petsmart all the time . . . but then we moved to a smaller town and the nearest pet store is about 20 minutes away. I think it's a Petsmart knock off . . . it's called PetMart.

I have a Pet Valu about a mile away. For quick things I'll go there. It is a very small local chain, I believe, but they have a nice variety of things considering their size. I also shop at PetsMart, but the best place in the area is Bill's Wonderland. They have everything there but the kitchen sink (the only pets they sell are fish) and they sell the high end foods like Chicken Soup, California Natural, Solid Gold, etc. and others that you can't find at PetsMart. It has been voted *Best of South Jersey* many times.
