How to Deal With Pet Supply Stores in Napa Valley

Step 1: Make Some Calls to Good Pet Shops in the Napa Valley Area
If you have something in particular in mind, you'll want to find out in advance if the pet supply stores and pet shops in Napa Valley CA have the pet supplies you're looking for. Not every pet feed store carries the same brands of wet pet food, dry pet food or raw pet food. So call a few pet stores and pet supply shops before you make the trip and you won't waste your time. Here are a few questions to start with.

• How do the pet shops determine pricing for pet food and pet supplies?

• Do Napa County pet stores carry the brands of pet food and pet supplies you're looking for? If not, can the pet supply stores order small pet supplies, dog supplies and cat supplies they don't carry in store?

• Do local Napa Valley CA pet shops and pet supply stores make deliveries for larger orders or for bulk pet items such as wholesale pet supplies, dog food or cat litter?

• Do pet supply shops and pet stores in Napa County offer any guarantees on pet food, pet grooming supplies or other pet products?

• Do the pet shops and pet stores offer pet care services such as pet grooming, wing and nail clipping or pet behavior classes?

• How long have the pet shops been in the pet supplies business?

• Do the pet shops and pet supply stores sell pets? If so, do they only sell birds and small pets? What about animal adoptions through local rescue groups?

• Can you bring your pet into the pet shop or pet supply store?

Step 2: Gauge Employee Response at Napa County Pet Shops and Wholesale Pet Supply Centers
Some pet stores hire uneducated employees for minimum wage. These employees aren't necessarily knowledgeable or concerned for your welfare or your pet's wellness. Better, specialized pet stores hire people who are interested in the pet care industry and are true animal lovers, and thus, informed. If you need any advice about pet supplies or wholesale pet care, the latter type of pet shop is your better bet. So when you're asking the questions from the list above, pay attention to the attitude and proficiency of the pet supplies dealer you're speaking with.

Step 3: Final Research on Pet Supply Stores and Pet Shops in the Napa Valley CA Area
Because your pet is so important to you, it is of the utmost importance that the pet store or pet supply shop from which you purchase your pet food or pet supplies is the best possible choice. So verify that your first choice pet supply store in Napa County has the appropriate licensing and/or certification from reputable pet supply industry associations. While you're at it, look for indications of quality as well, like Diamond Certification or Better Business Bureau membership.

Step 4: Make the Trip to the Best Napa County Pet Shop for Good Pet Supplies
Now that you've found the best possible pet supply store, it's time to shop. Pack up your pet and take a trip.

Tips About Pet Supplies in Napa Valley

Take Time Choosing Your Pet Supply Store.
If you randomly select a pet supply store or pet shop from the phone book, you run the risk of choosing a pet store with lower standards. So make some calls and ask about the selection of pet supplies and pet services before you decide on a pet shop. This could be the pet supply store you rely on for the life of your pet, so make sure it's the right one.

Know Your Rights as a Pet Shop Customer.
If a conflict should arise over pet products or pet services you have purchased from a particular pet store or pet shop, you are protected by legal regulations. To learn about the details of your entitlements in Napa County, visit the Web site for the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

Check for Pet Food Freshness.
If you're visiting a pet store to purchase dog food, cat food or small pet food, check out the product before you buy it. Pet food should not be dusty or overly dry, and all pet food products should have an expiration date. If no expiration date is found on the pet food box or bag, choose a different brand of pet food or look for a pet supply store that has higher quality pet supplies.

Beware Before Purchasing an Animal.
If you are purchasing an animal, make sure the pet store can tell you who the breeder is and whether or not the animal was bred domestically. Beware of pet stores that sell dogs or cats bred by backyard breeders or puppy mills. If the pet you are interested in buying is a cat or a dog, the animal must be licensed by the USDA.
