Cons

  • I think Petco and Petsmart wiped out the local stores before Chewy ever came long.
  • I’m hoping petsmart and the other pet stores do the same.

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.

Parent context: Not sure where you live, but Petsmart charges about $10 for a nail trim Reply: She got banned from Petsmart grooming for trying to flail herself off the table while strapped in by her collar.

The PetSmart cups unfortunately you see the fact that very frequently they either don't do that or it isn't enough.

There is a PetSmart 5 mins walk from my home, compared to Chewy they are always $1-$2 more expensive, and their selection is more limited.

I don’t like to support their fish section (also because I have the best aquarium store by me) but usually you can convince pet smart to adopt out sick or injured fish and reptiles.
