I do not think many breeders do. Puppy and kitty mills sell to pet stores, especially (shudder), PetCo. I went there once to get treats for Lady, Sally, and Floppsy. Well I looked around at the Betas, it was disgusting!
Petco does not sell dogs and cats. No, I haven't seen every Petco, but the one I work at....all of the animals appear very well taken care of. The cages are not crowded, and they are clean.

The bird room always looks spectacular I think. I, personally, find the conditions at Petco better then our Petsmart. The birds are in crowded cages there, and the fish don't look as well....somebody told me they always had to go to Petco to get fish because everytime they went to Petsmart, they'd get something bad in the tank and kill all their fish.

And we have adoption events. So does Petsmart, I've been to both many times. And both Petco and Petsmart have cats to adopt in the store all the time.

I applied to work at many Pet stores.......ones that sell puppies and everything. I just needed a job, and work experience. I do agree that no good breeder would let a pup go to a Pet Store, but I don't think there is any harm in Primabella working there. Maybe she can do some good.
