After reading a few hateful posts about Petsmart, let me set you all strait.
As much as i dislike big corprate pet shops taking a big part of the market, Im glad we have a Petsmart here in town. The Petsmart here in Springfield Mo is a pet adopting MACHINE. I mean this place adopts dogs, like you would not believe. Everytime you make a purchase with a credit card/debit, the card reader asks you if you want to donate a dollar to help a homeless animal, and works miracles with the surrounding countys no kill shelters and humane societys. Every weekend they line the shelter dogs up outside the front of the store, and adopt almost all of the dogs they bring in.
The shelters come from all over Southwest Missouri, and rotate weekends on a regular basis. The Petsmart here also holds dogtraining classes right in the middle of the store. lol. I think its just fanstastic what they do to promote good ownership, treatment, and healthy lives of dogs.
This is the only pet shop chain ill support, the rest of em arent worth a ****.
As for the fish, i buy my fish at the LFS Cichlids and Salt. If you havent noticed, Petsmarts prices on aquatic equipment are outrageous, the have a huge markup and arent competitive prices at all. Ive traveled 4 hours to pick up fish and equipment in Tulsa Oklahoma.
