great pet shop and i know Ed!!!!!! he knows his stuff about fish and im supporting him 100%!!!! but like he said "this is an old school pet shop" i do agree that he should do a bit of cleaning tho.

i just think that this is why some good shops go out of business. people like this woman claiming he abuses his animals.
 
he should stay in business but i dont like people like that. (the woman)
 
He sells dogs?
Where does he get them?
That could be one reason, unless he breeds his own, most reputable breeders will not sell to a pet store, and it is normally a puppy farm/mill that supply them, and it could be the reason for false claims...
 
Huh. My sheltie is named Jasmine. I can certainly believe that dogs were mistreated at a pet store, and considering they're shelties, I'm none too happy :angryfire:

And Rocker, if he isn't cleaning his tanks, I (although it isn't against the law) consider that abusive, too. Could you post a couple pics? Hopefully this is just media talking and I'll have a change of opinion ;)
 
My fave pet stop is a little dingy, and smelly, but its old and the fish are always priced right. Never seen any sick animals, but I hear people cry about it. ! go there almost weekly, never seen a sick animal, but it could use some cleaning...

I agree to that!!!
I have no use for people who make un-informed decisions like that.:swear:
My favorite store is a little run down, yet a far cry better then these big box stores.
He knows his stuff, he's the best reptile guy in the city bar none!
Alas these type of shops are a thing of the past, soon all you'll be able to find are these big stores with their "Shiny newness".:swear:

thats what this place is!!!! he has great fish and his tanks are always cryatal clear!!!!! the only problem is that his tanks havent been cleaned in about 38 years and that includes gravel vac. but this guy knows his stuff like you wouldnt believe!!!!! i just would hate so see a good place go down because some person has nothing better to do than to complain.

not trying to bash anyone but you cant go after all petshops that sell dogs just because a few in your area dont take care of their stock.
