At Petland you can buy a household pet, receive free advice about pet care and purchase food, toys, bedding, flea control etc. for your current animal, fish or bird.
Petland Tyler is located in the French Quarter across the road from the Mall, near Pier One and Michaels. It is not a massive store but it stocks a great range of products and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
On the left hand side of the store are the animals for sale. The puppies and kittens are in glass fronted boxes and are simply adorable. In case you are tempted to add one to your family, the staff will talk to you in depth to try and match you with the right animal. You have the assurance that the animals have been checked by 2 veterinarians and have all their vaccinations plus a ‘health warranty.’ Puppies come with a ‘Pets for a Lifetime’ resource kit which includes a dog training DVD, info sheets and discounts on puppy care products. I like the idea of the 48 hour return policy too – if you find that you have made a big mistake when you get your new creature home, you can return it and receive a refund.
As well as dogs and cats, there are also rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters and gerbils. Some of the mice for sale are actually bred as snake food! They also have some reptiles and lots of different birds.
The tropical fish section is wonderful. There are lots of fish available to buy and the staff in that section are extremely knowledgeable about fish and amphibians. They will be happy to help you with any problem you might have with your aquarium.
The nutrition center at Petland is large and well stocked – if you need a specialized product then this is the place to find it. If it is just regular cat or dog you need then it would save you money to buy in bulk from somewhere like Atwoods or Sams Club. There are a variety of beds, pet homes and crates for sale too.
One of the things I like about Petlands is its commitment to education. This is not just for the prospective customer. They host school groups for visits in store and even take their animals to nursing homes, which acts as a service to the community and also aids the pets’ socialization. Petland advertises local initiatives, like neutering days and supports local animal welfare charities.
If you are thinking of buying a pet in the future or need advice for an existing one, don’t be afraid to make use of the resources at Petland – they are there to help.
