Does this store carry saltwater fish, coral and anemones?
As someone already mentioned, the So.Burl petco does not carry saltwater stock, nor Petsmart in williston. See Gabe, the owner at Pet Advantage, hes a good dude and they have lots to choose from. Also look into Green Mountain Coral in waterbury VT for the rest of your needs
Community answer · Noah Dion · 2018-09-21
Pet Advantage in South Burlington, Vermont has a nice saltwater collection. They usually have coral and sometimes have anemones.
Community answer · Aimee Viens · 2018-09-21
No but i believe Frank is right about the fresh water stuff
Community answer · Taylor Reno · 2018-09-21
Fresh water fish.
Community answer · Andrew Swift · 2018-09-21
Don't believe so
Community answer · Kevin Robinson · 2018-09-21
Does petco allow you to reserve / make a down payment on an animal? Ex; a ferret is 180$, can I put down 100$ on Monday and then pick him up say Thursday and pay the rest?

Every horrible things that has happened to me at PETCO: I went there to get some food for my hamster but there was none on the shelves OR in the back of the store. The man at the register said “What’s on the shelves is all we have”. And the rude staff doesn’t make it any better 🙄. I went there a couple of weeks ago to get a bird for my moms birthday. When I was looking at them this one blue bird start twitching and shaking all over the place. Never again. I am traumatized. Thanks PETCO.
I went there for cat food and they had a wide variety, many different brands. Store was a little messy but I guess they were short staffed. They also offer grooming services and sell small pets (I saw some birds and small turtles).

Had an incident with a flea infestation and went into this store on labor day in a panic close to closing time. I asked the employee for help (who I believe was the manager, if not they should be the manager) the employee made me feel welcome, at ease and that I made the right choice in where I was at that exact moment. I got everything I needed and more, the fleas are gone and there are literally not enough words to say about the absolute joy and comfort I felt leaving this store. Bravo petco, your employees care and it shows.
because they were very helpful to me
