petco or petsmart?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

PetsMart. We don't have a PetCo in Canada to my knowledge...could be wrong though. Most of the time, I go to the smaller privately owned pet stores though, better service, nicer people, better prices and better stuff.

Petsmart was here in my city then petco moved 1 min. away. I checked out petco and got the rudest service I have ever recieved. I am sticking to petsmart.

Both. The petstores here have good service and prices.

I'd also like to add that the only thing close to a privatley owned shop around here is a two-store business that has excelent service and products, and takes wonderfull care of the animals (Both places) but for some reason sells puppies and kittens, a lot of bengals and mutts.

I like both actually, the prices are better at Petsmart, but I prefer the grooming at Petco. I typically buy stuff from a pet warehouse in the area, but their hours aren't the greatest (they close at 6 M-F, and short hours on Saturday), so sometimes I do go to Petsmart - but I'm not crazy about their groomers, so Roscoe goes to Petco

PETSMART

I work there and get a 15% discount I love the stuff, the people and the way they care for all the animals in there care. Can't ask for more in petstore if you ask me!

Petco carries better kibbles... Wysong and Natural Balance, but I don't feed either so I don't really care about that!

Knowing people who work at both stores, in different locations, I vote Petsmart! They typically take way better care of animals (as Petco has been in lots of trouble for neglect all over the country!) and they always tend to be neater, more organized, and have lower prices. Petco only hires people 18+ years, which is assinine to me. I think people should be hired based on skill and dedication, there is NO reason they should not hire a 16 year-old. Their management and customer service is also disgusting, in all of the stores I've visited (5 Petco's). I also like that Petsmart does offer training, as subpar as it is sometimes.

Pet-co has better items & better prices but the service at petsmart is better.
I prefer farm/feed stores better though.

Petsmart. It is the nearest store here and their service is really good. The bettas aren't in those tiny cups. All of the animals are well taken care of. Clean cages, not cramped etc. The emplyees are also very friendly and knowledgable(sp?)

Petsmart is outrageously priced but we go sometimes. Both places around here do pet adoption things
