Pet Depot

Wow I should have listened to my wife when she told me look at the people that work there they look like they don't shower let alone take care of a pet. My daughter had been bugging me for about a year to buy her a bird as a pet but I refused due to the fact we had several pets already but being a daddy's girl I gave in and said ok. She picked a nice blue parakeet that was all alone in a cage that should have been a sign there. Well for the first couple of days my daughter got the bird to sit on her head and sing and come to her when she called I did notice his feathers where fluffing up through out the day and thought nothing of it. I would say she spent 3 hours a day with this bird and quickly fell in love. Then came the today I woke up this morning to get her bird to clean the cage water, etc like she was told to do she was not here because she spent the night at a friends house. I noticed "Charlie" was laying at the bottom of the cage just slowly breathing which was odd because he was very active and playful. I knew if something was to happen to this bird it would devastate my daughter so I looked up vets that specialized in birds and found one in Allen. I rushed the bird there hoping some fluids or something would bring him back Wrong! I called the lady at the pet store explained what I was doing and told her I was on my way to the vet and her reply was sounds like a respitory problem it's not gonna make it you should just get a new one well guess what she was right on the money! The doc came in and said the same thing but also mentioned we must have bought it like that no wonder she knew what was wrong with it! Well my daughter is devastated crying her eyes out and all because I knew better but didn't listen. They put the bird to sleep and now my daughter is left with the pain of a bird she bonded with dead! Don't buy from here these people they are dirty white trash! You can tell by there poor hygiene that these poor animals are in bad health..

I went here to look for some reptile supplies and after browsing the cages and them claiming all their pups were "full-blooded" not AKC mind you (a mutt is any dog with out papers to prove their heritage no matter how nice they look or price on their sticker). The rats had no water and feces and pee all over their cage. The ball Python baby was almost dead with a respitory infection and mucus buildup all over its mouth. A Lepord gecko (im guessing blizzard phase) that was almost dead of starvation. and the "iguanas" that they had had no fresh food. never mind the lizzards there were bloated to the point id be willing to guess they hadnt had a proper UV bulb in the time theyd been there, or before. Then the ladt had the audacity to say shed been in the reptile buisness for 25 years. Apparently not dedicated to the animals welfare. It's a shame they are in a mall because any other location and the buisness would have gone under by now. I would advise people to not buy live animals from them as they will not give anysort of garentee as most reputable sellers and breeders will. If you want a puppy or kitten go to a well known and reviewed breeder, same for anyone looking for rodents or reptiles. you will end up not having major vet bills from the lack of care eirly in the animals life.
