  PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT A BUSINESS THAT PROFITS OFF OF THE SICKNESS AND DEATH OF ANIMALS. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS STORE! I bought a hamster and it died 2 days later. When I called the store, the associate knew exactly which one I was talking about and said it would always sleep in a corner by itself and was not active at all. She tried saying it was just it's personality. I have had several hamsters and know their temperament. This was not normal behaviour, something seemed to be wrong with it from the moment I got it home. They sold me a dying hamster knowing it was sick. They refuse to guarantee their live animals. Horrible, uneducated staff who know nothing about animals and do not care to. Some of the reviews of this store are horrendous and heartbreaking to read

  They were living in the tiniest little transport container with absolutely no enrichment or hiding house. They barely had enough room to walk around. We went everyday for 5 days to see if they had been moved somewhere more size appropriate but they had not so I bought them to relieve them of their stress. They were overcrowding their store just to make more money without the animals well being in mind. They were noticeably depressed and they were sick with respiratory infections. They were also living on pine wood shavings which is toxic for rats respiratory systems. When we asked a store associate why they were using pine wood shavings for rats bedding she replied "Our boss put them in there" so obviously the owner or manager doesn't care about the health or well being of the animals they have.

  Don't EVER buy from Pet World, they couldn't care less about the animals that they are selling and only care about money. The owner and manager are HORRIBLE people. Pet World you should be ashamed!

  This place is disgusting and absolutely heart wrenching. There are sick puppies there that are nowhere near old enough to be away from their mothers. Take as many pictures as possible, call the SPCA at 310 7722 and report anything you find even slightly disturbing, this place needs to be shut down immediately, this is animal cruelty!! The manager should be absolutely disgusted with himself, this is greedy and absolutely disturbing. GET THIS HORRIBLE PLACE SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD

  The store associate also told me they were both male but 2 days later, to our surprise, we discovered that one was actually a female and pregnant. I have also had to take them to the vet for horrible respiratory infections which they are currently on medication for and might possibly have to be on medication for the rest of their lives.

  This store sells sick animals and are completely overpriced!! I recently adopted two rats from this pet store and the only reason why I did was to rescue them from the horrendous conditions they were living in otherwise I would have never given Pet World my business.

  I bought one bunny earlier this month, 4 days later i found him dead. They gave me a new rabbit. 3 weeks later I find her paralyzed, rushed her to the vet and she passed away there that night. I have had many animals, cats, birds, rats, hedgehog, hamster, snake, gecko and they all lived until their expected ages. I am absulsulty shocked and saddened by my experience at this pet store. They clearly don't care for the animals they sell you.

  Absolutely disgusting place. I felt so bad for the animals, I wanted to cry. Some of the puppies had no water, and were covered in their own feces. If my iPhone wasn't being repaired at the apple store, I would have taken pictures. I can't believe this place hasn't been shut down yet. Heartbreaking.
