On my last [and only] Visit to bird world the place wreaked, and my mother has run a pet store in the past, all pet stores do have some bad smell to thgem but this was beyond bad, my friend actually had to exit the store and lost her lunch, and the ferrets when i went there had wet-tail to the point that they were getting bad sores, the dogs were cramped in small areas, unresponsive. As well their employees know little of what they are working with or how to actually take care of them, the fish were badly diseased as well as too much de-stresser were in the tanks at the time, and they actually recommended feeding oscars, and other such fish ""top Fin"" which is the cheap[est brand in utah i have seen and causes alot of fish to lose vibrancy etc. As well from what i have seen and my studies have shown is that they have atleast 19 health code violations, and they are far from the cheapest and sell only mediocre brands that can be bot cheaper at even pets-mart and i dont know if it has changed very recently or not but on the front doors you will notice ""it's a pet-store of course it will smell bad"" type signs, which is their only defense , IF you do go there and buy an animal i suggest you take it immediatly to a vet and have it get a full physical.
Pros: I have found NOTHING that could be considered good their
Cons: unsanitary, uncared for animals, unknowledgable staff, same animals can be boguth from speciatly breeders cheaper and in better health
