In June 2010, prosecutors from Marin, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Mateo and Santa Barbara counties announced that PETCO had agreed to settle a $1.75 million consumer protection lawsuit, without admitting liability. The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed in San Diego Superior Court that alleges Petco overcharged its customers and improperly cared for some animals, following inspections of PETCO stores throughout California from 2005 through 2008. PETCO paid more than $850,000 to resolve a similar case in 2004. [2]
From Wikipedia. Wow to think they could have saved all that money and would have more customers if all they did was take care of their animals. That's a shame.
