this must be a large petsmart…i work at a small one and do things so much differently. the amount of food is insane, over feeding those hammies…..amount of fish loss is crazy too. no veggies for small animals? no hay or chew sticks? strange.
lord I swear I searched this exact thing while I was anxious about getting a job there
and of course the video is posted like 3 weeks after I started lol
it’s so interesting to see another stores?????set up????for doing things????? very fun 10/10
I literally advocate for people to NOT shop at these big chain pet stores and most pet stores in general. Here’s why: Most of their small animals are obtained by breeding mills or backyard breeders. The animals are poorly bred, and NOT healthy. If you watch Munchie’s Place that is a rescue for hamsters you will see where these large chain stores have sold hamsters that are brachycephalic or hydrocephalic hamsters as "Cosmetic imperfections". Some people even breed them for this on purpose. These stores do NOT practice correct animal care and do NOT give out the correct information about the animals they sell. I can go on and on. So PLEASE, do your research on what animals actually need before getting them. Do NOT shop at pet stores. If you want an animal, check out local rescues or ethical breeders. All supporting these places and backyard breeders does is keep the cycle of animal abuse and neglect going. There are resources everywhere. Some of the employees try to give out the right information but it is RARE. So PLEASE, for the love of Gaia, get your animals from an ethical rescue or local responsible and ethical breeder. Ethical breeders generally will NOT advertise on Craigslist and such so just do you research….please.
Good video but… Damn I feel so bad for these animals. I’m doing an apprenticeship in an animal shelter and I’ve learned so much about how to take care of different types of pets so this just hurts to see. I’m from Germany so I’ve obviously never been to a petsmart but I’ve heard bad things about it. And it does look quite bad too tbh. The Hamster food aaah that is not proper Hamster food at all. And how do you know the pets are in good hands when selling them?
Petco & Petsmart, all large animal chains, are completely abominable. But you are not. You are a worker, you deserve great compensation for all you do, and it’s up to the company to improve food, education & ethically source their animals… But it likely won’t happen as supply and demand don’t work like that. I’m glad they have employees who enjoy what they’re doing, though! I do like that you don’t seem to mind working with bugs, do you happen to work in the reptile section? I have two pet snakes, I didn’t buy them or my supplies from petco/big chains but i do stop to look at the snakes occasionally…
It’s nice to know at least someone is taking care of these animals. I’m actually going to a pet store tomorrow ( I believe it’s pet smart or petco) to look a Guinea pigs.
It’s so weird to see how other stores open their pet care department. At my store we prioritise our deep cleans and our lights turn on/off automatically at scheduled times (except for our small animals, birds, and reptiles). I’m also super thankful that the PetSmart I work at really cares about the safety and health of our animals. All of my employees and managers make sure to give animals the right medications and we take sick animals to the vet right away if we don’t have the right treatment for them. We’re also a very small store which is great but also awful because we don’t have much space. Our cart is full on the bottom two tiers and is always messy. Another pro is only having fresh water tanks, but no one every wants to clean them except for me and one of my coworkers.
someone needs to speak to a manager of the horrible conditions this place puts these animals in. Really plastic containers for live animals? disgusting. using a knife to cut open crickets? careless treatment. this girl needs to be fired
I personally don’t really like pet smart because they give mis info about fish reptiles and birds ): I do like there cat and dog care tho! Great vid! ♥️♥️♥️♥️✨✨✨✨♥️♥️♥️♥️
customers need to research their new pet before purchasing it. we can blame the employees for not knowing what the animals need but in the end the new owners are responsible.
My day working in the pet are department @ a petstore- mainly doing/cleaning new arrivals room today
Please do not work at petco, or pet smart this are all very bad stores to know more information Peta videos
that’s so bad for them get them a better cage 🙁
they don’t have even right ventilation:((
I adopted my hamster from pet smart. I don’t support buying pets at pet stores. only adopting.
they should have much bigger bins for the animals
They give rlly bad care..
Do pet stores hire 15 year olds?
this must be a large petsmart…i work at a small one and do things so much differently. the amount of food is insane, over feeding those hammies…..amount of fish loss is crazy too. no veggies for small animals? no hay or chew sticks? strange.
this is sad 🙁 remember adopt don’t shop
These poor animals and mostly the rodents
Petcare Associate here!
I’m surprised we even get everything done in our shifts!
im not saying its ur fault at all but literally the way petsmart cares for those animals is horrible. 2 syrian hamsters together? they’re gonna die :I

Aarrggg the care is HORRIBLE
I went to a petsmart a month ago and all of the fish tanks had at least 5 dead decomposing fish in them /:
That’s so sad! Those bins are tiny for the hamsters!! AND hamsters are solitary animals.

i don’t know alot about hamsters or reptiles.. but i know alot about birds.. and i just feel so bad for those budgies.
I would work there but ACTUALLY take good care of them and do my research.
Those poor budgies 🙁
Is this in Canada?
It’s not your fault but I could never work for a company that treats animals so badly
I also work at petsmart and it’s so weird seeing how every petsmart does things differently. But it’s the same basic standard care
i love sirya bear hamster
Who would buy from petsmart or petco? Even worse who would work there?! They literally freeze their animals ALIVE and much worse!
someone needs to speak to a manager of the horrible conditions this place puts these animals in. Really plastic containers for live animals? disgusting. using a knife to cut open crickets? careless treatment. this girl needs to be fired
poor petties:(((
I personally don’t really like pet smart because they give mis info about fish reptiles and birds ): I do like there cat and dog care tho! Great vid! ♥️♥️♥️♥️✨✨✨✨♥️♥️♥️♥️
Uhh I think I’ve seen you before at that pet smart bc I live near there-
What is in that water?.?? It looks like gel
I just saw the red box and knew it was the cricket delivery. Ours usually happen on Tuesday and Thursday
Please use gloves to clean the boxes. If you have a small cut in the skin you could get really bad infections
How do you get a job at PetSmart?
hamsters cant borrow and zero space someone needs to change this
customers need to research their new pet before purchasing it. we can blame the employees for not knowing what the animals need but in the end the new owners are responsible.
The treatment of all the animals is literally horrible-
