I took my 3 dogs to Petco for baths and grooming. I was very pleased. Dogs came home smelling and looking great. Will go back for sure.

I figured I'd stop in and see the store since it was new and I was shopping around for some stuff for my snakes. Upon first glance they do have a very nice store with very nice small animal displays. However that's where it ends. I know snakes. I know snake behaviors. Over half of the snakes they had were soaking in their water bowls. Now I know snakes do this sometimes when they are about to shed and sometimes they just like being in the water, but when over half of their collection and in a couple instances every snake in the enclosure is soaking in the water bowl, that points to an underlying health issue, in this case it's contagious since they were all doing it. Possibly mites or parasites. On to the fish.... each tank had several dead fish in it. In some tanks the dead outnumbered the living. I know keeping fish is not easy, but some of the dead ones were showing signs of decay, which means they'd been dead in the tank for at least a day. If I were in the business of selling pet products, I'd do my best to remove dead animals from the public view as soon as they were noticed. Evidently that's not how this Petco is. Aside from the poor conditions the animals were in, their prices are high. Petsmart in Turkey Creek has cheaper prices and at least marginally better conditions for their live animals.
