Petco

Nice store, clean, relaxed atmosphere by Karen Z. at InsiderPages

This store is practically next door to a PetSmart but the two stores are very different. While the PetSmart is packed full of supplies, crowded, and loud, the PetCo is much more open and spacious feeling - and more importantly, the animals are better-cared for in clean, spacious cages. PetCo prices are slightly higher but I much prefer to shop here.

In particular, as a bird owner, I am particularly concerned about how the birds are cared for. The small parrots they sell are as intelligent as dogs are require similar socialization to make good pets. Although they may not be ideal (I would always choose a breeder over a pet store for a bird) they take pretty good care of thier birds with large, very clean cages, and adequate toys, perches, and handling. Sometimes one of the cashiers will have a bird on her shoulder.
