I really don't think this place is bad! It's better than other pet stores if you ask me! Yes, they have puppies in fish tanks...but those fish tanks have bedding in them (the stuff you normally see in rabbit cages) rather than the poor puppies having to walk around on metal and steel like the other pet store at this mall!
They also have 2 general play areas so that the dogs can all have some time to get out and be pet and played with.
As far as the cost goes....yes, the dogs are expensive. But the reason the other pet stores are less expensive is because their dogs come from puppy mills!
Overall...I would rather see a locally owned pet store with bedded fish tanks without florescent lights everywhere..regardless of what the owners think about the BP situation. What the hell does that have to do with pets???
