if i work at a pet store do i have to work with the animals?

i work at pet supplies plus, we dont have dogs/cats but we have reptiles, fish, bunnies, hampsters and birds. i work as a cashier right now and sometimes i stock shelves, and a few days ago i did training for working with the animals..and i did not like it. i love dogs and cats, but i am terrified of reptiles. if i work in the livestock area which is with the animals, id have to interact with reptiles and i dont think i can do that. aswell as crickets, they creep me out and if someone asked me to get them crickets idk if i could do that. i'm just wondering if i HAVE to work in that department, like if i told my manager i just wanted to stick with cashier and livestock, would he be okay with it? or can he make me work with the animals?

Well, I do not work in a pet store but I know a few people that do... The way it seems to work around here, at the Pet Co's and Pet Smarts, and locally owned pet stores, is that the workers are sort of..rotated. So.. Sally might be on the cash register this week, but next week Sally's job might be cleaning and feeding the animals, or working the floor, while Jack goes on the cash register.

My personal opinion is that if you're not comfortable working with the animals, you should not work in a pet store.. Even if your manager says you don't need to work with the animals, there is still the possibility that one day, you'll have to get someone a snake, or some feeder insects.

But..only way to know for sure? Talk to your manager.

Bird Dog Training Supplies

puppy?????????

well i need a few things first nd for most i need to convince my mom to let me get a puppy. i have a dog 4 cats a 2 horses 5hermitcrabs and a bird. i no it sounds like alot bbut i really want my own pet. 2 of the cats are nevr here nd live outside anyway the birds my moms the dogs my brothers and the hermit crabs are my sister. so my birthdays coming up and i want to convince them to let me get a puupy. so ill need some ways to do that ill need a list of supplies ill also need some cute names for a black female pomeranian teacup puppy and if any one nos any breeders or shelters. its my 13th bbirthday and money is not so much the issue its more responsiblity and the idea of having another pet so all im asking for is a puppy nothing else even though i want a bunnch of other stuff my birthdays in october and i wood also like some good potty training and other trip tricks. thanks so much!

Apparently the responsibilty speech doesn't need to be displayed here... lol I think with THAT many animals, you know what you are doing...
Supplies are basically how far you want to go... But the basics are: crate, bed, food bowl, food, treats, water bowls, water, leash, collar, tag, toys, and anything else that is cute in the store when you go through... You will also need a vet and about $200 for the vet costs...
Names: Just Google names for dogs... There are many cute ones... It's just your choice... My grandma had a pom and her name was Charmin... I also had a friend with a pom and his name was Pepper... Just whatever you like...
Location: Petfinder.com (think adoption first) or try local flea markets and NextDayPets.com... Kijiji.com is also a good site...
Happy early 13th!
Petco has some GREAT information sheets on potty training and other things like Bringing Your Pet Home... Try doing a google search for Petco Care Sheets... GOOD LUCK!!! I hope you get a pom!
