I have never taken Gracie to PetCo or PetSmart or any pet place other than her groomer and the vet. We go for walks around our home and in a public park and that is where we meet most people.
It seems to be the thing for people to take their pets to pet stores but it seems to me like a very bad idea. With so many people and pets there it appears to be a very good place to pick up an illness or even have a possible injury. I don't go to those places very often but the last 2 times I have been there in the past 4 years I saw people with very young puppies there! They are just inviting trouble. Why people feel they need to take their babies to such a place is beyond me. If someone's pup ever wiggled out of someone's hand in there it could be life threatening. |
