  • This place is affiliated with and looks like Petco (which is in Bloomington and everywhere else). Since pet stores really monopolize the field of specialized pet products, of course their prices are sky high. For example, my cats eat Hill's Science Diet, Sensitive Stomach formula. Every month there is a $5 sale on all big bags of Science Diet (light, hairball, adult, kitten) EXCEPT Sensitive Stomach. It's simply because there is no other food that works as well for cats with IBS-like conditions that is not a vet formula. So $28+tax for 17.5 pounds of food (by comparison, 20 pounds of Whiskas runs $8, Natural Choice, Nutramax, Royale Feline, and Eukanuba are all around $17-24 for the 8-pound bag, $30-ish for 17 pounds). Prices aside, I love going in the store because I live for my cats, and one huge place completely devoted to their needs (furniture, catnip, toys, food, litter, leashes, collars, shampoo)... Heaven! However, I do not enjoy the open pet policy where everyone under the sun brings in a dog. Panting, shedding, drooling, smelly... I'm not a dog fan. I also do not enjoy the caged up animals for adoption... But, it was a lot easier to look at them once I figured out they were shelter animals, not specially bred for pet store sales (like other stores!). I also respect that they have volunteers go in nearly every weekend and set up shop to get the animals adopted. Nonetheless, every time that I check-out here, they always ask if I want to do a $1 donation to animal shelters. Kind of irritating, being trapped and pressured at the register, looking heartless if you say no, but also realizing that you have no income... The first and second times - sure, add the $1, no big deal... even though I have adopted my cuties from a shelter and volunteered countless hours at shelters. The third time - not so giving... and then felt guilty and selfish and figured the checkout chick thought I was mean... Anyway, personal insecurity there, probably. But, if you're like me and don't like being pressured into philanthropy - no matter how small the dollar amount (it's the principle) - now you can have a gameplan on what to do before you ever hit the register. For me - probably a donate - don't donate - donate - don't donate undulation of conscience.... Anyway - clean, overwhelming variety of choices, rather expensive.
