I buy all the food and litter for my pets at Petco. The whole hearted is their favorite. I have also purchased several mats that they love to sleep on.

The positives: clean store, friendly employees, and you support local pet shelters which is GREAT ! Thank you so much for always having a local pet shelter on-site adoption option and for encouraging donations when we purchase things. Lots of cat and dog food choices too.
The negatives: Every time I go in there, I feel sorry for the reptiles. It is like they always get the short end of the stick. They are either sick, overcrowded (you should NOT cohabitate leos and beardies), or the tank is in the wrong temperature or lighting setting. Maybe you could work on being role models for proper reptile husbandry for potential owners by getting a 3-4 of those 120 gallons, tube T5 uvbs and shelf liners or bioactive substrate and model how to keep bearded dragons as you have them up for sale? or partner with local reptile rescues and try to sell animals who are being rehomed? You'd be retail agents of change , role models for potential customers,and avoid negative reviews like the one with the photo of the sick leo posted below here .There is nothing wrong with making the changes for the right reasons!

Curbside Service is a 0 Star - after waiting for over 5 minutes I had to walk into the store - NO customers in line, employees just standing around talking to each other.
I was told to look in the cabinet myself for my purchase & give them the tag on my purchase. Don’t offer Curbside Service (which I checked off before I placed the order) if I am still going to have to go into the store myself and do your job.
