Although the guy that wanted that pinch collar for a 30 lb. dog (could be a puppy I gather?) makes me wonder what for. It's a 30 lb. dog.
The dog was some kind of pit mix...one of those really small ones, almost kind of looked like Roxy, but just small in general, maybe between 9mo-1yr.
I guess he originally wanted a choke collar, but the employee convinced him to go with a pinch, which I do agree that pinches do less damage than a choke.

I don't expect them to be experts either-I was once told you could put angelfish in with platies and that angelfish didn't get much bigger than they were at the pet store. Yeah, right! But an unsuspecting person wouldn't know petter, and they would see the commercials (High Trained Associates Ready to Answer Every Question!) and think the employee might be knowledgable.

Funny thing is, I worked at Petsmart for about two weeks. The books they give you to train with is just about where certain products are. My MANAGER, the manager of the specialty department which does the fish, rodents, birds, and reptiles, told a customer that you should only feed a betta once a week and that it can be kept in one of the cups it came in.
