The prices are outrageous in Our Best Friends. $16 dollars for 23 liters of Carefresh? $160 dollars for a cage with weak mesh? The treatment of the animals is horrifying. The rodents are kept in a smelly, poorly-ventilated room where breeding and inbreeding goes on unchecked. The litters are unhealthy and the cages are overcrowded. Water bottles are left empty and more than once, I have seen dead animals in the bottoms of the cages. All the rrats are suffering from lung infections. I recently brought home two babies to live with my adults. They died of mycoplasma shortly after, despite antibiotics and a humidifier. Also, my two adults caught the disease and died too. This Pet Store uses cedar bedding because it is cheap. That is a sure sign when measuring incompetence. This place has hundreds of parakeets which all live in the same cage. They will never be able to get rid of them and the population will only continue to grow. Also, there is such a thick layer of algae, you cannot view the fish in the fish tanks. Overall, the treatment of animals in this place is vile and cruel. I will not be returning. Instead, I order from Petco.
Pros: Big selection
Cons: High costs and animal cruelty
