Although that was very rude, I don't think you can say why she was there?? Its Petsmart, for ALL pets, not only dogs. People go there for their dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, rats, mice, fish, frogs, whatever they have. Many people that go there may not like dogs but still have to go there. Personally I love going there. I am very much afraid of large dogs, but does that keep me from going to Petco or Petsmart? NO WAY! I could NEVER buy my birds food from another store. They absolutely REFUSE to eat it. We once ran out of their food, and it was late. Petco and Petsmart were already closed and we were in urgent need of their food. We went to Safeway and got cockatiel seed from the pet section. Came home, gave it to the birds, and you wouldn't imagine what they did!Muffin marched out of her cage in anger, ran back and forth and kept swinging her head round and round in rage! THESE ARE NOT MY TYPE OF SEEDS! I swear, she was protesting! They didn't eat a bite. Anyway, they had to have cereal for dinner and we went to Petco to get their food first thing in the morning. We can't buy their food from any other place. There's just no way. My birds are stubborn about what BRAND of food they eat! LOL. I always go to Petco and Petsmart and they are my favorite stores. I can spend hours playing with the store's pet cat, or the store's pet conure (the one not on sale). I love watching the birds play there, and I love seeing the kittens on adoption day. Do I meet big dogs there? YES! But I just stay away and most of them are on leash so I don't worry about the leashed ones. I have NEVER said anything to their owners. When we went to Petco last week, I was in line waiting to pay for my birds' stuff, when I looked back and found a HUGE akita right behind me. He was very well behaved and wasn't doing anything wrong, but I'm a scardey cat anyway. I didn't do anything, didn't say anything. Just walked one step forward, tried to act brave, paid the cashier and left.
The owner never found out I was scared. If you go to Petco or Petsmart, you should be prepared to meet pups. If you don't like them, just stay away or go in another line. Personally I wish they had a seperate line for those with dogs so other people wouldn't have to get scared, but its ok the way it is. That woman was very rude.
