Good/Happy/Postive Stories from Petsmart or Petco

[Chrisplosion]

We get it, they are not the best stores around. You can only beat a dead horse for so long. So rather than dwelling on the all the negative, lets hear some positive. What are some of your good times from Petco or Petsmart?


One time I went in Petco, came out with a Blood Parrot, my first Blood Parrot Mr B. Years later he is still happy and healthy.

petsmart - i worked there almost 15 yrs ago... we had discus, bgks, and for a chain store we got some pretty cool fish in. our manager cared about her emplyees and our fish where second to none locally. i learned so much during those few year from my co-workers and customers.

petco - truth be told not much positive as both an emplyee and customer, I support petsmart before petco. upper management cares about the numbers not the lives, despite all their jingles. not sure how high it travels but ive nothing pleasent to say, other then they carry both fresh and saltwater vs petsmart only carrying fresh.

ime petsmart walks the talk far more then petco. ide work for petsmart again but petco left a bad taste in my mouth.

Petsmart has a few good prices. Maybe its just mine but they charge 30$ for upside down catfish. But they also have 1$ guppies so I'm not complaining. Mine has small feeders for 50¢ which in my area is unbeatable. Even though i have never bought a feeder fish in my life.

None of my PETCO have saltwater and I've been to over 20 different PETCO in my area. So idk if they really do or not. Somebody said they do above me. I like their $/gal sale though. But I can't even buy one of their tanks cause parents say no. My petco sells barebottom 2.5g for 30$ but then they have 10g for 20$. I think it might be a pricing error but its still the same price months later. LOVE their betta section. Unbeatable quality bettas, like they were bought off aquabid I swear. Its only 1 of my PETCO, the others sell crap but this 1 precious store sells amazing bettas.

Its a Jersey Thing

Good thread Chris.
Petco is right around the corner from me so its great for last minute Prime and food pickups. The employees are not too knowledgeable but they're kind and always willing to learn and be helpful.
Petsmart is cool because they have a good selection of fish that my kids can pick out to put in our peaceful tanks.
