Recommended: Petco business strategy

After several years shopping at Petco, I have decided to stop shopping for four main reasons:
1. Incumbent manager of that one particular Petco has no respect for the deaf
2. Pricings continue to rise ridiculously
3. Incorrect pricings made me more pay than I should have
4. Shelves are never stocked up promptly until they are completely empty. Just unbelievable!

Even though, this store has some limited supplies of top quality dog’s food and dog’s treats that I can use for my dog, Ethan, I am always strapped to find shelves empty. They are not always replenished promptly since other dog owners are using those same products.

Last year, I found a great website called chewy.com. This company has autoships, are replenishable and always promptly
