Pros

  • 5 gallon tanks are on sale for $15 right now at Petco.
  • Honestly Petco surpries me sometimes, thats a crazy good find for that price.
  • Petco low key has some great plants in their plant tank and it’s dirt cheap that is high quality.
  • My vet was able to print and sign a written prescription for me in five minutes. I was able to upload that to petco's website to buy my pet's prescription food.
  • Got 55% at Petco combining discounted gift cards and site promotions.

Cons

  • I think Petco and Petsmart wiped out the local stores before Chewy ever came long.
  • Wish I had an lfs! All we have is petco
  • Every single time I see a post about rescuing anything from petsmart/petco, my heart sinks a little lower. The only way to rescue animals from big boxes is to boycott them, not give them more money and justification to keep buying more f...
  • However petco looked like a warehouse compared to petsmarts design. The enclosures were 10585830x better
  • Petco is so hit or miss. If you get a hobbyist running the fish department, it's usually really good.

Every single time I see a post about rescuing anything from petsmart/petco, my heart sinks a little lower. The only way to rescue animals from big boxes is to boycott them, not give them more money and justification to keep buying more fish, or anything for that matter, from unethical wholesalers and then continue to keep them in terrible conditions.
