Pet Stores

I went to the new Petco store in Greenwood, SC having only been in one before and I was impressed. We were looking at the different dog foods they had looking at the senior formulas as Brandie is getting up there. She's nine and getting grumpy somewhat. So as we were looking, one of the salespeople came up and asked if we were looking for something in particular. We told her that we were looking for something for our older dog and she points out several not overly priced options. She told us that she had just gotten back from a work shop on pet foods and learned a lot about what they offered. What they had didn't have corn or by products. Which is good, but usually way out of price range for us, not that Brandie eats a lot. She said she had some samples of one of the good ones...than had lamb, turkey, and duck, along with vegatables too. That sounded really good. She took us up front and instead of just giving us one small sample bag, she stuffed a grocery bag of the samples she had. I was shocked, but thinking "wow, this is really nice. I guess I'll be coming in here more often."  The store also had gourmet doggie treats that you could mix and match for $5 for a pound. A little expensive, but something I could work with. Like I said Brandie doesn't eat a lot, though she loves her treats. Don't get me wrong, I still love Petsmart, but now I've got a new pet store that may meet my baby's need a little more. PS...I saw my future bird in there too. So YaY!
