It's less terrible than a lot of pet stores - but it still carries products that are fundamentally unsafe for the animals they are marketed for. For the love of god to NOT give sugary diary products to a herbivore!
It's not actually a WHS facility and doesn't have services (or staff) like their main center. WHS offers satellite adoption from Petland - which is a vast improvement on how Petland used to sell puppies and kittens - but they still sell other animals that they categorically refuse to say where they are from. But hey - if it dies in the first two weeks (it's not like they've had a proper vet check or anything) they'll give you a new one for free! /s
Get reputable brand supplies here if you must - but do not purchase an animal here.

3 years ago my family adopted 4 budgies from pet land and looking back on it, it was absolutely terrible.
The budgies were kept in a open glass tank that anybody could just reach into. They all had their wings clipped and the tank was extremely crowded. The buddies themselves were terrified of everything and they all looked extremely stressed. Upon asking an employee if we could try to hold one we were interested in, they said if we could catch it. Trying to take the birds home was traumatizing enough. The birds were flying out of the employees hands all over the store when trying to get them into the carriers for travel. Terrible treatment of animals and never going back.

Excellent service and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Love seeing them interact positively and very caring with the animals that are there. I was there July 26th in the morning and those staff should be recognized for their hard work.

This store has been miss labeling animals for years and years. Way over priced (as it's all about the money). They (15yrs ago) used to have a great selection of hard to get fish but that has long since passed.

Kind and helpful staff, good selection. Picked up a hamster with my daughter for her birthday.

Employees were nice but one told me to put a hamster in a rubbermaid container instead of a large cage…

Great staff. Great selection. Cute kitties. Adopt today.older cats need a home, and every home deserves another heartbeat.
