| walmart expanding pet section Well our Walmart is expanding certain depts which is exciting because a few years back they literally got rid of some depts and downsized a lot of what they sold. The pet section is one that is increasing. I was happy to see several new shampoos and conditioners including Pet Head available there now. They really smelled great and fruity. They even had the waterless versions of it. I saw some doggy colognes too and a lot more toys. I was also happy to see a lot of clearance items at the end of the aisles. Petco is so much more expensive and I have to travel for it. Hope WM is expanding in other cities too! I've been ordering off Amazon. |

| Our Walmart is doing that too. I noticed the other day that they started carrying pethead products. The increased their clothing about as well. I like it.

| BooHoo. Our WM seems to be downsizing our pet dept.. There are only sweaters left and coats that are on clearance. Their clothing section is completely gone. No new shampoos or anything. Wish ours would expand the pet section. |

| Our Walmart is just horrible. The pet department is getting smaller with less variety of products. I used to buy my pee pads there but even those have decreased in quality. I did notice three Pet Head products there which is nice since it is supposed to be a natural product. I don't use it but at least it is available to people. I won't buy their toys as they are all made in China. |

| We mainly just buy clothing at Wal-Mart, and I have found some pretty cute stuff there. It will be great if they start carrying even more!

| I have 3 Walmarts within 10 miles......2 have large pet depts and one sucks! Of course that's the one closest to me. When I can, I go to either of the others. The closest one NEVER puts their small amount of clothes on sale, and harnesses, forget about it. They have been out of stock for over a year. They seem to just have enough of the other things to let them get by.... Shucks. Ross Dress for Less has wonderfully, inexpensive, pet dept, even though not alot of things, but very good! Sooo...if you have a Ross nearby, try there! I found out about it here on YT.

| Our Walmart is too! I was so darn excited when I went last week. I bought some small clippers, a flea comb (for her face), pet wipes, and a cute jacket. My hubby made fun of me for getting excited. =/

| All of our Walmarts got rid of a lot of their product selections and made bigger aisles...... At school time, they run out of paper, crayons and glue. There's never an employee to help and if you do by chance find one, they're rude. We have been boycotting wal-mart for the last 3-4 years and refuse to shop there unless I absolutely have to.

Our Walmart returned the sewing/fabric/craft department to the way it was before. Yay!

| Woohoo! Awesome! I LOVE most of Wal-Mart's dog stuff. The SimplyDog line is the best fitting clothes I've ever gotten Jackson. Everything else always fits him so awkwardly.

| Our Walmart isn't expanding the pet dept. We have a Petsense but I have to travel 45 minutes for a Petsmart and we there is not a Petco near us. This is a negative about small towns (not much variety). |
