Pet Ranch, in the Burnsville center, is the paradigm of everything a pet store SHOULD NOT be. My girlfriend and I went in order to look for hermit crabs, and what we found was the absolute worst conditions possible. Dead crabs all over, improper set up, and really none were going to live. Hermit crabs are harvested from the wild, and stores like this will lead to their extinction. \r

Outraged at their care and costumer service, I went online in order to look at reviews and what others had thought. I expected this to be a bad shipment, or perhaps an ignorant employee. What I found was that I was not alone, and there were many other people in the area extremely upset about Pet Ranch. Many were calling the humane society and animal control over the conditions that dogs were kept in.\r
\r
What we saw, was exactly what others had complained about with the dogs. High prices on dogs that were far to old to be sold. These older dogs were not trained, and at this age it would be almost impossible to do so without a lot of added work. They were in dirty cages, and looked very sad. \r
\r
The killing of a small animals, and the abusive conditions of a large ones are more then enough for me to say this store be avoided at all costs.\r
Pros: Decent parking, it's close to other shops
Cons: bad prices, bad service, abusive and appauling conditions
