About Petco
We are proud to be "where the pets go" and where the pet people go. For more than 60 years, we have helped pets live their best lives by providing everything they need—from favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support. We believe in the universal truths of pet parenthood, celebrating the boundless boops, missing slippers, and late-night zoomies that define the bond between humans and their animals.
Today, we are a team of 29,000+ strong, nurturing the pet-human bond in over 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, alongside 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals and eight distribution centers. Since founding Petco Love in 1999, we have supported thousands of local animal welfare groups and helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.
Our core values guide our spirit: we put the needs of pets and pet parents at the center of everything we do, celebrate the journey of pet parenthood through connection, and champion authenticity as one Petco team.
