Petco

Customers seeking lawn, garden, and pet products, as well as low prices and skilled in-store guidance, have grown to rely on our 12 locations. Smithland Pet Centers in Massachusetts, originally known as Dave's Soda & Pet City, uses the same inventory and staff as before, and generations of clients have trusted us with their pets' health and well-being.

We recognized the importance of focusing on health and our pets, so we left corporate employment to supply the greatest quality pet items we could discover, including our own handcrafted pet snacks and pupcakes baked right here in Connecticut. We attempt to work with only respectable organizations and prioritize local businesses. Our team, our clients, and our never-ending hunt for all things pet keep us going for years to come.

 Puppy Pete, sixteen years old, works weekends at the Dr. Pet Center at the Naugatuck Valley Mall in Waterbury, CT, cleaning animal waste and feeding the animals. Puppy Pete worked at that pet store throughout high school, learning about animals, and then moved on to college in Boston, where he worked part-time at pet stores. He applied for and was hired as store manager of that same Waterbury Dr. Pet Center after graduating from college. Several national awards for sales, cleanliness, and customer service were given to the store.
