I'm actually surprised how hard it is to report pet stores. On the Michigan gov's website, they give quite clear instructions on how to report a pet store for negligence and and abuse.

Here close to my home town there is a pet store called Pet's Paradise. They were well known for fresh water fish, and apparently are stand up in that department, but EVERYTHING ELSE SUFFERS.

We are talking puppy mill supporters; always had those mutts for sale! At least a dozen on hand all the time!

Reptiles were terrible. No humidity, one lamp, ton to a cage. I remember walking in and seeing a PILE of baby bp's, with at least one dead one at the bottom of the pile, and a mouse wandering around in the enclosure.

On top of that, their bird sections sucked, they kept primates in very small cages, and the small animals were all crammed in too small of enclosures and often sick. I unfortunately did not know what a healthy rat was and bought most of my founding stock from this store. Needless to say, they were very poor rats to breed. My Petco females were large and very healthy girls, dwarfing the rats from this store.


So yes!!!! I feel your pain, luckily this Pet's Paradise went out of business, and I hope they stay closed!!!
