| What is missing from Pet stores? What products do you feel are not available at local pet stores? What items would you like to see for sale, that aren't? Thanks

| My local pet stores all lack well made clothing items and good, safe harnesses. Also cute, reasonably priced bedding. Reasonably priced washable wee wee pads are impossible to find in stores. Cute dishes are a no go. Thankfully I can find everything I need here (and dishes and beds I love to get at homegoods).

| I would also have to say reasonably priced bedding... And, I dont' like the peepee pads the pet stores sell. I have tried several and I end up buying them online from PPE Pet Supplies...I have found the Clean Go Pet Puppy Pads from there to be the best. And, I wish they would sell the higher quality pet foods... Orijen/Acana. |

| The big chain pet stores such as Petco and Petsmart all carry the same ol things. See one store you see um all! It's boring. I love the little trendy shops on line or privately owned in most towns.

I actually think Petco has better fitting clothes vs PetSmart, but I agree, it's the same old stuff. I would love a variety of harnesses, clothes, bedding. I would love it if everything was American made. (quality/and to support my fellow Americans) That's what I shop on YT a lot.

| I agree with the others! I drive 30 minutes away to get high quality food. the clothing is very over priced and very low quality. we love our babies and want quality clothing for them. the two things I have a hard time finding are quality carriers and car seats too! Yorkiedaze, may I come too? Please, please, please? Dh would hate the bill, but be so glad I'm dragging someone else around town instead of him LoL

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would like to see them carry better quality shampoos and conditioners. The good ones like Chris Christensen, Pet Silk are usually only available on line and then you have to pay shipping.

| What I am unimpressed with , is the lack of super prem. dog food. Petsmart only just started to carry Wellness . However, other high quality pet foods are seriously lacking. Some of their products are also overpriced. I can go to a smaller mom and pop pet store that has these items, for a lot better prices , and if they do not have what you are looking for they will order them . This smaller store also offers vaccinations twice a month with a certified vet doing them for very reasonable prices. I have not seen Petsmart, or Petco have that service either. Even their groming department is overpriced . and they keep your precious pet for hours on end. I do not like that either. I have taken Suzi to be groomed, and i never know what the whole price will be until they are done> the prices vary , and sometimes it is $65 and up. Fortunately i found a wonderful groomer , who charges $20.00 . She does it because she knows how, and loves to do it, not for the money , but for her experience and expertese. I will not ever go back to the larger petstores for a groom again. I've witnessed them leave a dog on the table, and walk away. I nearly jumped out of my skin when that occured. It was not my dog, however, it told me a lot . I have heard of dogs getting burned from the dryers , and hurt . So i do not personally believe their grooming style is safe, and is so overpriced it is ridicuolous.

| I have a pet supplies plus really close to me but they do not carry the Acana I recently switched to...actually no one carries it except the ritzy "Bark's 5th Avenue"....so i wish the other pet stores carried that. I also wish they sold a better variety of clothing and bows...and I wish someone, somewhere sold teeny, tiny training treats that princess actually likes. It's funny, but all of the "good stuff" I've bought in a store for her has came from Target or Walmart!

| I would like to see more high quality foods available, as well as high quality training treats and chews. I would also love some good quality shampoo/conditioner AND hair bows. The high quality food I can buy (at a premium or after a long drive), but the treats, chews, shampoo/conditioner and bows I purchase online. It would be nice not to have to pay shipping all the time! |
