Why does Petco charge such high prices for their products?

Specifically, I'd like to know why a 30-pound box of Arm and Hammer Super Scoop cat litter costs $18.99 at Petco, while Petsmart charges $11.99 for the same box and Target charges $11.49 for a 35-pound box. Petco charges a whopping $7 more!!

Cat litter isn't the only thing that costs more at Petco. When we first got our dog, we regularly bought some 100-percent chicken treats for her. They were about $6 or $7 more at Petco than anywhere else.

Check it out! Dogs as gangsters! Walking on their hind legs! The drama! The hilarity!

And dogs as soldiers! How'd they do that?

My 11-year-old cat, Bailey, has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He's been my best little fur buddy for all 11 of his years, so I want to do what I can to ensure he remains healthy.

This apparently is the most common feline disease, even more common than diabetes. Do you have a cat with hyperthyroidism? If so, what did you do to treat the cat?

Do you dress up your pet for Halloween? Can you never get enough of seeing photos of dogs and/or cats in costume?

Between myself, my husband and our dog, we found 12 ticks on our person this weekend while camping near Brainerd.

The world's best cat

Did you see the first annual Pet Bragger special section that ran in the Prior Lake American last weekend?

The section featured more than 50 photographs of pets -- dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, and even a calf -- that were submitted by pet owners in the Southwest Metro area. In addition, nearly 20 businesses that provide products and services for pet owners in the Southwest Metro were presented.
