Pet stores today are like little shopping plazas. You can find pretty much any pet you could want and all their accessories.
Dogs and cats are the most popular. Puppies and kittens are usually on display waiting for new homes. Their food can be found as well as treats. The selection of food is vast and includes many flavors. Typically, stores will carry high end brands with a few middle priced choices. These choices will cover the needs of pets at all stages of life. From the very young to senior pets, your food needs will be covered. Special needs diets are available too, such as kibbles for outdoor cats vs. Indoor cats.
Along with foods and treats, there are also a variety of supplements. One very common supplement is glucosamine, which is good for arthritis and joint problems. But it doesn't end there; you will find vitamins, fish oils, even water treatments that help keep teeth clean.
Dog houses, Kitty condos, beds and a large selection of toys are always right in arm's reach. So are water purifiers, leashes and collars and cat litter. These are probably things you would expect to find at the pet store. But I bet every time you go, you can find something new that you never thought of or saw before. A massage blanket for your dog or cat might be one of those things.
After taking care of the dogs and cats, check out the fish in the pet stores. Whether salt water or fresh water, the tanks are full of colorful finned creatures. Goldfish are not just goldfish; even they come in multiple breeds. Other water life is here, like frogs, snails and corals. Aquarium setups range from little betta bowls to 200 gallon tanks.
Live plants make a good addition to an aquarium and the choices for these are also huge. They help keep healthy oxygen levels and give the fish a natural setting. Fish like to graze in and around plants and they offer nice, dark hiding places. Some plants rest on the bottom of the tank and other float on the top.
Don't forget about birds and rodents. You'll be able to hear the chirps and yells from parrots and parakeets the moment you step inside. And if you listen carefully, you can also hear the squeaks from mice, rats and hamsters. Accessories for them, like wood chips and play wheels are always in stock. Snakes, ferrets and iguanas will also grab your attention.
One great thing is that the majority of pet stores will let you bring your pets into the store with you. Once inside, you can drop your furry buddy off to have his nails and hair done or to get a nice bath. Veterinarians are usually on staff too, so you can plan your shopping trips around your dog's doctors appointments.
It is not unimaginable that you could spend several hours just browsing in all the different departments. And bringing your pet along can make the trip even more enjoyable. Your bunny rabbit may not care, but your doggy sure will love the visit. You can make shopping at pet stores just as much of an experience as heading off to a department store. - 31851
