Petco

Does anyone else find Petco's prices MUCH higher than PetSmart? Is it just my area? The closest PetSmart is about a half hour away, but the Petco is right down the street. Whenever I run in for something quick, I am always horrified by the prices!

I MUCH prefer Petsmart to Petco or Pet Supplies Plus. They all have good things, but they are definitely higher priced IMO.

I agree. they are higher priced and i find i dont see the same variety either

I agree with you!!! I think Petsmart is less expensive.

Petsmart is closer so that's where we go, but last time I went to Petco I did notice the prices were higher but the selections were definitely different. I noticed that Petco carried different brands of food, definitely more selection of condos and cat trees (these were at reasonable prices), and that they had some more specific items that I hadn't seen at Petsmart (i.e. Softpaws, which Petsmart carries now I believe, Sticky-Paws (that 2-sided tape to put on furniture), and Feliway, which Petsmart also carries now but didn't then).

As far as selection, it DOES seem like PetSmart is Petco's little sister, but they are growing up quick, and offering better prices!

Petco is a block from us, so we go there.
In this town, the prices are about the same.
Sometimes though, there are things that are needed that have to come from Petsmart.

Just make sure you get Petsmart "Pet Perks" card. Save$

being a demostrator and going to both ... On some things Petsmart is way cheap[er but Petco has some of the things I use most ...I actually use the feed stores as much as possible since they usually are very reasonable

I've definitely noticed that too, and of course Petco is two minutes away and Petsmart more like 15. Selection actually seems better at Petsmart with the two stores I go to.

How much cost a can with 425 gramm catfood. Sorry, I don´t know how much are gramm in I don´t know. Mostly I buy catfood at a discounter and I pay for it 0,29 €. I think, one € is similar 1 $.

There are not Petco here on MÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]rida... ....

I will skateboard all the way across town to go to petsmart instead of petco. on principle alone, though the prices at petco are higher. every time i've been into this petco, it's a horror scene with the fish. most are dead, or dying, or diseased so badly i'm not sure how on earth they can sell them. i hate supporting them, and only do in an emergency.

I have to order online because we don't have either one close, but the litter I get is cheaper at petco.com than at petsmart.com and it's even cheaper if you put it in a bottomless bowl and get it sent to you weekly (or how often you want it sent).

I've also found Petsmart cheaper, but again the Petco is closer. I usually hit up Petsmart on the way back from my sister's. Petco is 10 minutes down the street from home and work, so it's convenient if I goof and need a Litter Locker liner quickly.

I think Petsmart is cheaper, but they don't sell Natural Balance cat food. I buy that from Petco and I buy my Natural Choice pouches and cans from Pet Supplies Plus (because I can use my frequent buyer membership there). Pet Supplies Plus just has such an amazing variety of cat foods. The only reason I buy Natural Balance at Petco is because of the P.A.L.S. card- where you get your 11th bag free. I just bought some of the Pet Gold litter from Petco because it's refillable- but it's more expensive than a lot of litters. I just like the reusable container aspect.

I mostly use Petsmart. Petco is about the same distance. Petsmart is cheaper and has better sales. I also seem to be able to find my way around a bit easier. It seems cleaner then pet co as well. Litter I usually try to find on sale at grocery stores, walmart or target, but I did recently buy some store brand at Petsmart to check out. Haven't used it yet.

I've noticed that I can usually find a greater selection of natural food and treats at Petco...for instance, we use Halo Pets products here for treats and a supplement for Leo being prone to having itchy, flakey dandruff, and I've never seen those at PetsMart. Although, I prefer to shop at the smaller, independent pet shops around here and for that, I pay a premium, so I hear everyone out there on the higher prices!

Yes, where I live Petco is higher than even the little corner robbery, er grocery store is on cat food and toys too. It is MUCH cheaper to shop online, even with the shipping charges. I sure wish they would get a Petsmart up here. :-(
