About Petco

We’re 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, from the boundless boops and missing slippers to late-night zoomies.

Today, we are 29,000+ strong, nurturing the pet-human bond in over 1,500 stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, alongside 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals and eight distribution centers. In 1999, we founded Petco Love, supporting thousands of local animal welfare groups and helping find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.

Our core values guide everything we do:

  • Pet First – Protect & Empower: We put the needs of pets and pet parents at the center of everything.
  • Foster the Fun – Connect & Bond: Our passion for pets brings us together to celebrate the journey of pet parenthood.
  • Let’s Go! Own & Commit: We are stronger as one team, championing authenticity to drive success.
