| pet supply stores Just wondering if you shop at Petco or Petsmart. I have been going to Petsmart but they just opened a Petco near us. Went once but did not really have time to look around. Which do you prefer to shop at for your baby's needs? I am all for lower prices.

There are other online stores that have lower prices for ordering. Here are a few: Revivalanimal.com JBPets.com Petedge.com drsfosterandsmith.com entirelypets.com As far as food, if you only have one yorkie, your best bet is a store such as Petsmart.

| Not that I have been at this long but I prefer Petco for foods, they seem to have the better premium foods(at least in my area). I really do not care for the animals like mice/guinea pigs/birds that look so sad and probably come from rodent mills or bird mills that Petsmart has. We were alking through Petsmart the other day and the poor parrot just follwed us back and forth and tilting his head as if to say help me. Petco only has local shelter animals in the building, again at least here anyway. This is of course just my opinion. |

| Depends on what I'm getting. Petco has more healthy foods and treats so I generally go there to pick up treats. I'd say I go half/half. I also go to our local Pet Valu which has healthier foods, treats, etc, they carry more of the better brands and cheaper bully sticks. Butttt, more often than not, I'm shopping online trying to find the best deals

| I've shopped at both. The Petco store is closer and I purchase Sophie's food and treats there and her winter coat came from Petco. I agree with a previous poster that I don't want to see the other animals in cages like at Petsmart but Petsmart does have a wider variety of toys and some other things. If I can get what I want at Petco I'll go there first. We have a nice pet boutique called Must Love Dogs here but I only shop there once in a while for t-shirts because they are quite pricey.

| I like both stores for different things. The PetsMart is closer to me though so that's where I buy Troy's food. Treats I buy from a local Barkery called Taj Ma Hound and I usually by toys and things from the internet (jbpet, petedge,ebay, etc). Clothes and collars all internet buys since I find a variety and usually I find exactly what I'm looking for. Have fun with shopping for your little one. |

| Hmmmm, our Petco is crowded and messy and unorganized, so I don't go there very often but I need to change up some food so I may have to go back and check them out!! |

| I shop in neither. I use to get Buddy groomed, when he was a puppy at Petco but when the nice groomer left so did I. We have Petco and Petsmark on the same street but I don't care for their products. I shop at a family run pet store which carries all high end products. Out of the two above I don't care for Petsmark at all! . |

I like Petco for their food and treats since they have a bigger selection beyond the normal junk food type deal. I also love their Pals card, and their sales/pals sales tend to be really good. | |

| I prefer Petco. They have redone all the ones in my area, and they all carry Wellness, Orijen, TOTW, etc, the good stuff. I don't see that at Petsmart. Petco also has cuter clothes. I don't like how Petsmart displays their clothes. I've never bought one piece of clothing from Petsmart. Petco also has the by 10 bags get one free deal, but their cost per bag may be $1 more or so, so I guess that evens out. Also, my dad is into fish. I buy some for him once in a while. Petco has the exotic saltwater kind. Petsmart has lots of dead floating ones.

| I shop at boutiques.........I like to support my local businesses..... plus there is such cuter stuff at boutiques than at the big chain pet stores. I also get a lot of stuff on ebay. I also feed my pups specialty food, so I cannot get it at petco or petsmart so I jsut really have no need to go there. There are SOOO many cute little boutiqe dog stores now a days.... I can't resist! |
