With rumors swirling of a potential merger between retail titans PetSmart and Petco, the pet industry is left to ponder the chances of such a union, and the possible implications for everyone else.

I agree with article that it looks doubtful.

Agh doubt it, one was public and went back to private and one other is public staying public. Odds are good they won't.

So it is on the cover of Pet business mag now...sounds like they just need to stir up something.

Well it will sort of be like pet-pet-something on the board if you know what I mean. I don't think it will make any difference to grooming business owners.

No fear here, it shouldn't hurt groomers at all.
