Doing research before you buy from any pet store is always important. In addition to asking for references, calling the local animal welfare regulations department and checking online reviews, you should make sure the store itself has a proper license to operate - it should be displayed prominently inside the shop. You can also check with local veterinarians and pet associations to find out more about any particular store.
