We just got a Petco here, so I am not familiar with the store (which is why I was asking for your opinions). Although I do appreciate some of what PETA stands for, I know they tend to go overboard on things, which is why I wanted to hear a response from you all. There were also non-peta produced articles in the links, but I know the links were chosen by Peta.

I am very glad to know that those of you that posted have had good experiences both working and shopping at Petco. I know that things will vary from store to store, and I guess that when you have the nations largest pet store chain, you will have more reported problems, just due to the sheer number of employees and locations. The percentage of incidence may be exactly the same as it's competition (maybe lower ?).

I'm soooo glad to hear your positive responses to Petco. I got this e-mail right around the same time that our Petco opened up. I've been wanting to go in, but didn't want to support the company, if it had this awful reputation. I guess, I can go check it out now and see for myself. Thanks for all your responses
