Considering I know the reasons why most of these people are complaining, Petco is pretty good. \r
\r
They don't have enough employees because of budgeting of the corporation.\r
\r
They don't always know all the answers because 1) They usually aren't trained about every particular animal, and 2) there is lots of conflictual information about certain animals, so it's hard to tell the customer the "right" info. If you go to Petco, and you have a really particular/important question, ask for the Certified person for the particular animal you are talking about. There are certified Aquatics specialists and certified Reptile specialists; they just don't work every day.\r

Petco does not sell dogs and cats because it is illegal in Kern County to sell dogs and cats retail, and I would suggest if you're going to a petstore to buy a dog or cat, look up the word "puppy mill". Either buy your dog or cat from a private breeder, or better yet, Adopt!
