Unfortunately there are no laws pertaining to animal cruelty so nothing can be done legally to prosecute these people.
However, the more people that make official complaints, and the more people that stand up and tell the shop owners to give the animals water & shade, the more they will stop to think that maybe things do need to change.
If people refuse to buy sick and dying animals, the shop keepers will HAVE to improve their standards to get customers to come back to them.
We have no control over what animals they bring in from overseas (birds, hamsters, rabbits etc) and the dogs and cats are got locally so we can't control that, but we can all control how many animals are bought from there.
PLEASE contact QAWS if you are looking for a pet. Not only do we have dogs and cats, but we also have a variety of rabbits, hamsters and occasionally birds too.
