Pet Supermarket — Local services in Douglasville

Two weeks ago my husband and I went to Pet Super Market in Douglasville, there I saw this one Betta fish priced at 45$. I picked him up and he was in pretty bad condition. His fines were all torn and ripped up, and he just didn't look good at all. I felt bad for this guy, but no way was I going to pay 45$, nor did I have an extra tank. I went back to the pet store this past Tuesday (two weeks later) and the poor Betta was still there! Still sitting in that small little cup. So I went to the manager and told them how bad this poor fish looks and that I had seen him two week ago and that I was sure he had been there for a while. I ask if they can sale him to me for a discount. The manager agreed that the Betta was in bad condition and that he had been there for a while. She then told me they couldn't sale him to me in such bad condition, and that she would take him to the back to medicate him. Okay perfect! I went back yesterday ( Wednesday ) to check on him. I talked with of the employees and she said that the Betta fish has been there since December!!! Living in that small cup for at least three months. And I thought two weeks was horrible. I told the employee that I wanted to take him, but not for 45$, the employee took my name and number and said she would talk to the manager about a discount. I went back today and I talked to the manager myself. I told her I wanted the fish and that I was aware how long the Betta had been there and ask if they could give me a discount. The manager told me he needed another weeks worth of meds and whenever he was ready they would put him back on the shelf to sale. She then tells me that they wouldn't give me a discount. After talking to her and telling her that I was willing to pay for the fish right then and there, and that NO ONE was going to pay that much for a fish in that condition. The manager then tells me that she was thinking of buying the fish once he was better. I find this to be very wrong for a few reasons, One, you didn't care to medicate this fish until I said something about his condition. Two, I feel like if I hadn't said a word to them and just paid the 45, they would have sold him to me without any thought. Three, you had three month to care for and buy this poor fish yourself long before I was interested. They simply don't care about their animals and are more interested in...

The only reason as to why I give One star is due to the absolutely horrific conditions they keep their Betta fish. Betta fish should have a minimum of 2 gallons, a decent filter, and a usable heater. (Unlike popular belief, Betta fish do not live in "mud puddles". No living fish could ever survive in those conditions. Betta fish originate from Thailand, and must have water temperatures of at least 75-82 degrees. Wild Betta's live in the acres of rice paddies in Thailand. These fish are used to having territories of 3ft.sq. Many people claim that their fish lived for 'x' years inside of a bowl with no filtration, nor heater. It is the same as keeping a dog tied up to a tree for all of its life. They may survive, but they will not thrive.) I would also think that the store employees would have the decency to at least change the water in the tiny cups that house the Betta's. That was not the case when I visited this store. The water inside of the "Betta Cups" were beyond disgusting. Feces and left over food pellets coated the bottom of each cup. As i looked around at the physical condition of the fish, I noticed that over half of them where already dead. The hand-full that were still alive were in such a state that I've never seen before. Patches of scales were completely rotted off their body. Fin Rot was an obvious case in all of the fish. Which ever ones that were spared of the rot had terribly clamped fins.The only healthy Betta Fish i saw in the entire store was the one in the photograph above the...

Great little pet supply store! First thing I notice and is always the first thing I look for when I walk into any new place is the cleanliness of the establishment. ESPECIALLY pet stores of any kind. I feel that there's a direct correlation between the cleanliness of the establishment and the care of the animals they keep there. And this place was spotless! And smelled Great too! The shelves were neat and tidy, and they had a wonderful selection for just about any kind of critter you may own what.

I showed up right before close and I could tell (Just like you or I would be at the end of our shift) that they were ready to get the heck out of there lol. But they still took time to answer my questions and didn't make me feel like all they wanted to do was get me out the door so they could go home. I didn't catch the name of the dude and dudette that were working at the time but hey guys, I'm the veterinary chiropractor that stopped by guys and my hats off to you! Great job! I will definitely be coming back! And the ONLY reason I didn't give five stars was because they don't carry the particular cat food that I feed...
