PetSmart vs. PetSmart - I was SHOCKED at the Difference!

Описание: Join me as I visit my two local PetSmarts. I use PetSmart for a variety of items for both my fish and my dogs. However, a recent walk through and a few questions revealed that despite looking similar, store-to-store, PetSmarts can be very different from one another.

In one case I was very pleased. In another, I was very disappointed and don't think that I'll be going back to that store.

Come along on this visit to two local spots and share with me what you think about what I ran into. Jump into the comment section below and be part of the the "Convo Gang" remembering that on this channel we all learn, constantly, from each other.

Note: at 1:42, while showing the frozen foods, I say "Cobalt" when I should have said, "Omega One," opps!
