    Berlin/Barre store is sparsely stocked and ridiculously understaffed. Almost impossible to find someone to help you and when you do, they often do not know where an item is. Our last resort for pet items.

    Went to south Burlington petco to get some fish. The tanks were absolutely disgusting! We walked out without a single fish! Decided to go to berlin petco...guess what..their tanks were even worse! The salt water tanks were so filthy you could barely see if there was any fish in them! The panel to cover the filter system was on the floor!!! We walked out of there without a single fish. Petco, DO BETTER FOR THE ANIMALS!!! At the rate you are going, you shouldn't even have fish! We didnt even look at the quality or care of any of the other animals!! Will be calling corporate!!

    The store in Barre VT is always out of stock, but you can't go down some of the isles due to large pallets of stock. Every time I do in there, they are out of the dog food I buy. I'm going to start to order on line from now on.

    I went into Petco on the Barre-Montpelier rd Saturday Nov 8th and it smelled SO BAD! You get hit with it as soon as you walk in, it smelled like a dirty rodent cage! Then I went down the rodent aisle and the smell was WORSE! The pets were in cages full of poop and the odor was intolerable! I had to leave for fresh air..
