Does anybody want an outsiders opinion? I'm an investor who has over 10 years experience in the retail pet trade. Including 5 plus years in management. I don't think it's fair to judge all the stores after only visiting 2 on Long Island but here are a few observations. Their livestock sucks. Everything is guaranteed but 1 sick animal can infect others. I would never buy livestock there. Their sale prices are often less than the wholesale price smaller stores pay, however their regular prices high. It seems to me their basic strategy is to sell dog and cat food real cheap and overcharge for anything else to make up for it. Encouraging customers to shop with their pets is bad news for pets and investors. Flea, mite and disease transfer are all possible as well as liability for anything that can happen such as bites or fights. Finally, none of the employees I've encountered knows what they're talking about. A more knowledgable staff could increase sales dramatically.
