We took our kids in to purchase our 1st guinea pig. That day the salesman was very courteous. Unfortunately, our furry family member got extremely sick and died 10 days later. The staff, especially the manager, showed no signs of sympathy for selling us a sick animal. The ER vet said the little guy was too young to fight off the viral infection that he most likely had when he was sold to us. He was fine one day, and gone the next. Please, do not buy any animal from Petco. The animals there are exposed to infectious diseases. PLEASE consider adopting from a rescue.
