If it's Pick of the Litter, they take your ID in case you decide to walk out with one of their pups. Also, if it is Pick of the Litter, be careful with this place. It has been reviewed poorly in the past and it has a sketchy feel with all of their puppies always sleeping. Plus fish tanks to cage the dogs with hamster bedding? That is not good for a developing puppies lungs.
You would have to call the place you visited and ask them
Hi Daverly! Which pet store are you talking about that's asking to see IDs? Is it petland or the other pet store?
Not sure sry
