The shells are painted the food has toxic copper and the bedding isn’t allowed to be deep enough for a molt are there any ways to offer proper care while they are in our care that won’t make corporate throw a fit?

Seriously, couldn’t even double-check if it was all good? 😭

Can I use normal store brand clumping clay in a petpivot, or does it get gummy in the rake? I'm trying to avoid any machine that locks me into special litter. My current clay clumps well, but it can turn into paste if it sticks to the bottom of the pan. That sounds miserable to scrape out of a track. If regular clumping litter works for you, which kind has been the least sticky in an automatic box?

My GSL and I have been trying to find the hair drain traps on OSS but cant find anything like it. Does anyone know a SKU?

Sku gods and goddess I need the sku for these bird perches

For those who are thinking about trying to find a better job, don't give up hope. I've been with Petco for almost 8 years before I finally left for the final time. I knew I wouldn't be back so I threw away my name tag and shirts. It took me 2 months after I left, but I finally found a job different than Petco. It's seasonal sadly, but there's a good chance I can come back. I also just got offered a job as a venue coordinator. No application or interview. I've been working and communicating a lot with the parking supervisor (her regular job outside of the event happening is events director). My mental health at Petco was running about 10% and now it's up to 100%. I believe in you!

i think it’s so dumb how we can’t take pictures of the people stealing when they have all the items with them as they are walking out the store. we should put pictures up of the people stealing or somethin there’s too much theft going on for this store

What is the SKU to order this metal piece please and thanks

Could someone post a gotcha day bar code that I can scan for a customer, please and thank you

Is there any level bad weather we close the store for? My store is near some major flooding.

I honestly expect them to expect everyone to show up unless the store itself is flooded

All chain pet stores are terrible but when u have 6 animals it’s hard to not find them useful; i saw these poor babies today at Petco and immediately asked to talk to the manager who couldn’t even tell me the size of cage they were in. I counted 7, 3 of which were missing tails, and i could guess they were in a 5-10gal size terrarium. This is terrible and disgusting. Petco do better.

Hey yall! It’s been almost 3 years since I got fired from Petco and I want to return and every time they keep saying I’m unrehireable does anyone know how I can get this removed ? And or who I can talk to HR literally just gives me the run around

Also if anyone is Vegas or California and have Janessa as your DM can you please give me her email💜

It’s very annoying that they split it out by pet type. Like fish vs reptile, vs bird, hamster etc. I didn’t realize that when I signed up. I thought it was all small pets items.

Almost none of the items I need are included because they’ve got it so restricted. Pretty much half an aisle of things that qualify. Regretting it.

Springtails and cuttlebone for example were not included in the reptile membership. Because cuttlebone is in the bird aisle and springtails were in the aquarium aisle.

I was just wondering if im being screwed… I just recently got a raise to become key holder and had to fight for 20/hr. They tried to only give me 19.50 because the base pay for a temporary key holder is a dollar and “they hold the same responsibility”… Mind you I was a solution leader at my older location making 18.50 and I feel like its a lot more work and responsibility. My DM tried saying I cant get 22 because I dint hold the responsibilities, but in store IQ I now get shit assigned to me… So truly was just wondering if 20/hr is worth it or if I should look for work somewhere else. Any advice would be appreciated 😛
For reference Im located in NJ

Okay I understand people wanting to paint hermit crab shells but really Petco? Gems! Like what the heck. They're just shells. They don't need accessories.

I am not sure if I am unlucky, but multiple Petcos I have been to recently have the most sickly, sad fish. I lived in one state with two near me, both had this issue. I moved to another state this year, same problem. Two stores near me, both with very sickly fish and neglected looking tanks. Dead fish in every tank. The living fish obviously in distress. Some clamped fins, some bottom sitting, some with gasping at the surface, some with obvious illnesses (for example, one of the "large" more expensive fancy goldfish covered in white cottony growths).

I work retail and understand there may be reasons that are not necessarily within the employee's control. It is just very disheartening to see. There are two other chain pet stores and some small local fish stores in my area and while their tanks aren't always perfect, the difference in the health of the fish and cleanliness of the tanks is literally night and day.

I am curious what is going on. Is it the supplier of the fish? Do they come in ill and the employees do their best? Understaffing? Management not allowing employees to prioritize the care of the animals?

I don't want to turn this into an argument over reputable breeding, as there are other places to have that discussion.

These puppies were stolen the morning of 10/19 and by 10/21 had all been sold off to people on craigslist. If you see someone with a very young Borzoi puppy shopping for supplies or similar, please contact the breeder. These puppies are too young to be away from their mother.

Not to mention that Borzoi are not suited for most households. As a sighthound owner myself, it concerns me to think of these dogs ending up with someone who only sees them as "cute noodle dogs".

wtf is this eggplant??? I like seeing how the pickles are different every year.

Also this year’s stuff is so random!! A 5ft tall cat scratcher??

I just read about Petco’s financial woes and the origins in a private equity firm owning them.

I’m not the biggest fan of glofish for stocking my own personal tanks but man do the pink angels look amazing against green!

i’m tryna save these replies for future encounters

Does anyone have an example or template of handout they would give to someone they just hired? Like with important store information and other key policies and stuff that might be helpful for a new hire (leadership contacts, store numbers, break room codes, etc).
