How to choose a pet store in San Diego
- For grooming, ask about experience with your pet's breed and temperament, how long appointments take, and whether pets are crated or supervised during drying.
- Ask about vaccination requirements for grooming and daycare, and share health issues, anxiety, or past bad experiences so the groomer can plan accordingly.
- Look for knowledgeable staff who can explain ingredients and recommend food for your pet's age, size, and health needs. Check with your vet for medical diets.
- Visit the store first and note cleanliness, ventilation, and how animals are treated. Consider adoption from a shelter, and avoid places where animals look neglected.
