Peta's insane. Of ALL the pet stores in our area, Petco is by FAR the best. The animals are always all very healthy, the stores clean, and the employees knowledgable. I love Petco, just love it. The Petsmart in my area, on the otherhand, has the most sickly looking animals on the planet. I guess it depends on each individual store, but still. I am SO not cutting up my Petco P.A.L.S. card and sending it to them!
