About Petco
We're proud to be "where the pets go" to find everything they need to live their best lives for more than 60 years. From favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support, we live the universal truths of pet parenthood—the boundless boops, missing slippers, and late-night zoomies. We are 29,000+ strong, nurturing the pet-human bond in over 1,500 stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, alongside hundreds of clinics and distribution centers. Since founding Petco Love in 1999, we have helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.
Our core values capture the spirit of improving lives by doing what's right for pets and people: putting pets first, fostering connection through our passion for animals, and owning our commitment as one team.
