I have never seen the standards of care you speak of in any Petco I have visited. I have never met an employee in any one of the stores that seemed to know anything about properly caring for the small animals. I'm certain you are a wonderful animal caregiver and employee but
YOU cannot make a difference to the
BIG problem that Petco and other petstores are causing.

You say that, while another member has this to say about the petstore they work in.

Banfield got there weights at 7 am to make their medication, at 2 pm when I left work, the medication still had not been made and my boss was getting mad at me because I keep on bugging him about the medication... I'm expecting to come into work tomorrow to find that 1 guinea died, the sad thing is that I feel like I cant do anything about it. |
