Tori,

You can report this pet store to local authorities,
I am not sure who to call I have a friend who is a health inspector
and at this time I cannot get a hold of her. She told me one time if
there was ever a complaint aganst a pet store that you could always call your local health deptartment
they can direct you to who you need to talk to to file a complaint
on this particualr store. I want to say animal control but not sure.
keep us posted.

: Now I am REALLY angry! I finally talked to the district manager and he was rude beyond belief. He told me I had agreed to got to their vet when I signed the form buying Sammy. This is true, however when I called the Vet on the form I had from Petco and asked if they knew Iguanas I was told NO. The manager said he would check it.

: I told him he had other sick igs there he said his manager said that isn't true and he belived her. This is PURE BS. The manager of the store stood next to me the day I went back re the vet bill and she said "eeewww his toes are curling up too!" when I showed her the other sick igs

: When I told him I had and would contacted other organizations re this iguana abuse he said I was threatening him and it wouldn't work to get my Vet bills paid.

: This man had NO sympathy what-so-ever for Sammy or my children who have suffered through this ordeal. I am in tears as I write this at the insensitive nature of a man who runs a district of stores for animals! My question is what happen to the other sick igs?? How can people who care so little be in charge of an animal store? I am beside myself over this and my kids are STILL in turmoil and Sammy is STILL fighting for his life!!
