    I'm really disappointed with how this situation was handled. I brought in a baby guinea pig I had…read morerecently purchased because her bonded cage mate passed away about three weeks later. I was concerned that whatever affected the other guinea pig could also affect her, so I brought her in to be checked for her health and safety. This was handled very poorly. When I later called for an update and asked about getting her back, I was told she had already been placed back in the display case to be sold to someone else. There was no concern shown for her physical or emotional well-being. Guinea pigs are prey animals and extremely sensitive to stress. On the same day her bonded cage mate died, she was also separated from the other guinea pigs she had bonded with. In a short period of time, she experienced the loss of her companion, separation from familiar cage mates, transport back into a loud store environment with dogs and children nearby, and being put back on display without proper quarantine--even though she had been exposed to a deceased cage mate. This kind of stress can weaken their immune system and put them at serious risk. I felt treated unfairly, and the way this was handled did not feel safe or humane. This experience seriously damaged my trust in how this store cares for small animals. The picture below was the guinea pig I had and returned. She was too small to be written off as healthy and too much through stress to be put out in a case with other guinea pigs she didn't know and in an environment so cruel. On another occasion, I returned multiple guinea pigs and called ahead to let the store know I would be coming back the next morning to get two of them. When I arrived, I was told that one of the two had already been sold to someone else--even though I had been told the two had bonded during their time back in the store. Separating bonded guinea pigs is stressful for them and shows a lack of understanding or concern for their social and emotional needs. This situation felt careless and avoidable, especially after I had communicated clearly the day before On another occasion, when I was new to caring for guinea pigs, I called with a genuine concern about the length of one of their teeth and asked for guidance. The manager was rude and snappy with me and implied that I was neglecting or abusing the animal by not providing enough food, hay, or toys. This was especially upsetting because I was reaching out specifically because I cared about the animal's well-being and wanted to do the right thing. It felt insulting and discouraging, and it didn't match the store's claims about caring for animals. If the goal is animal welfare, people asking for help shouldn't be treated like they're doing something wrong. To end I will never be getting my guinea pigs from here again. I love the ones I have but I will not support this business. I would rather spend a few more buck on the guinea pigs at petsmart than here. They have lost a loyal customer

    Had a good customer service, didn't have to wait too long in line. Not the best place to go for…read morefish needs, but has great deals.
