PetSmart

I actually live closer to the Stamford location but prefer to travel farther to this location. The store is large, has a better selection than other nearby stores, and I've actually never waited in a line here. I always enjoy shopping here. Don't forget to say hi to the kitties!

For aquarisits! Went here to pick up a 75 gallon tank/stand combo. Would've gotten it from Petco, but they didn't carry it with the stand. Unfortunately, unlike Petco where your new item comes unopened in a box, PetSmart puts all of their tanks on the floor. The tank I received had obviously been there for at least a year, so the stand has some pretty significant cosmetic damage, and it was filled with cobwebs and dust. The tank had a small gouge in it, three massive streaks of adhesive that I was unable to remove from the label on the inside of the tank, and it was also filled with cobwebs and dust, and confetti too. On top of that, the store is quite dark and unappealing, the staff was slightly less than helpful, except when moving the tank to my car which they did for me. They also do not have any live rock in their store, so I then had to drive all the way to Milford Petco to get that and to get some real good advice on setting everything up. In short, I'd say for a PetSmart they're fine, for you're average pet store they're fine, but if you're going for a tank and related materials, Petco far exceeds this store.
