    PetsMart and a local store (part of a chain) Animal Supply House. I get Eagle Holistic locally, which I cannot get at PetsMart.

    Petco prices are usually 20% higher than PetsMart in our area.

    There is no Petco close to me. I shop at Petsmart and Pet Supplies Plus. They're not far from each other but are a 30 mile round trip for me.

    Petsmart. Their prices are reasonable and they also have the grooming salon which I take Sparky to. Petco is upstate and too far from here - only been there once years ago. Concord Pet Supplies is a regional chain in this area and it's closer than Petsmart, but no groomer and their prices are way too high.


    ETA: The Petsmart close to where my brother lives in NC, even has a vet on the premises. I'd never seen that at any other store. Any stores in your area have one?

    Well seeing I am not in the US or Canada I don't shop either. In fact I have NEVER been inside the doors of either. I shop at a local pet store that has absolutely everything I need. I feed my cats Royal Canin Fit 32 & Sensible 33. I can get these from them in bulk at a lower price than what the bags sell for. I pay €5,00 a kilo for the fit 32 & €6,00 a kilo for sensible 33. Normally a 2 kg bag of fit is €13,50 a bag & a 2 kg bag of sensible is €18,00 so there is a pretty good saving there especially when my cats eat 6-8 kg of dry food a month.

    Because we are regular customers we also get 'treats' from them for free. They always toss in a handful of real meat 'sausages' for Artica & 2 or 3 bags of malt treats for the cats. They tend to always charge us less for wet food for the cats too. Normally the wet food is €1,00 a can (almo) or 6 for the price of 5(schesir). We never pay more than €0,75 a can or 6 for the price of 4 depending on the brand.

    I love Tractor Supply. The closet one means traveling through a lot of traffic, so I use Animal Supply House.

    We have no Petco here so I go to PetSmart. Always found them very pleasant and helpful and their prices are okay especially when they have sales. We have a Pet Value but I didn't care for it and they don't carry much of anything.
    I never heard of a vet in pet stores here but it seems to be the norm in some areas in Britain.
