Best/Worst Pet Stores
I have to admit, as I see the more substantive stuff on this blog, my niche doesn’t seem so worthy. However, we press on.
Being a new pet owner, I’m newly delving into the world of pet stores. Most of my time, perhaps predictably, is spent at Petco, which may be the Walmart of pet stores. However, I’ve yet to find a better place to find such a wide supply of pet stuff so reasonably priced.
I’ve been to Pets on Broadway to buy plants and snails for my miniscule frog chamber, but otherwise haven’t been there enough to develop an impression.
I go to Scamps at Lloyd Center with my friend JLowe whenever he buys his toad a mouse to eat, and I enjoy looking at the various furries there. However, I don’t like the store in general and don’t see myself ever seriously shopping there.
Anyway, all you pet-people, give me your submissions for the best and worst that Portland has to offer!
There’s a Petco in Beaverton and it seems to have everything you’d need for a pet. You’re rights. Petco is the Walmart of pets.
Now if you want birds, Bird Gardens is the place to go. It’s at 3615 SW Hall Blvd, Beaverton, OR 97005.
Pets on Broadway at 28th and NE Broadwayis the best! We found the best prices on doggie accessories and the most helpful staff ever. I’m pretty sure they are privately owned so you can feel good about supporting the local economy when you shop there.
I went into the Scamps in Clackamas and was very upset at the condition of the store. To start with the store had a awfull smell. The dogs in the kennell had no food or water. Most where stepping on their dishes, that where upside down in the cage. Their cages where very dirty. Each cage had two or more dogs in them. Shame on you!!! animals don’t deserve to be treated this way. I will never go to another Scamps.
While we’re dishing up the pet goods, if anyone knows of a close-in shop that carries chicken feed, I’d love to know about it. Thanks!
